BEHIND THE LINES

By: KCS-content

It’s the Calcutta Cup on Sunday and once again we’re offering EVS both teams on the handicap. England have been impressive so far this tournament, but Martin Johnson wants an improved showing from his men before the likely Grand Slam decider in Dublin next weekend.

We fully expect them to win this in style against a fairly lacklustre Scottish side. Arsene Wenger has had a miserable week and it could get worse in the FA Cup at Old Trafford tomorrow.

Arsenal showed their inexperience in Barcelona on Tuesday night and didn’t even manage to have a shot on target. They weren’t in the same class as the Spanish champions and it’s back to the drawing board for the Frenchman.

Man United have lost back-to-back away league games and we expect them to be the wounded tiger in this

fixture. They are a different proposition at Old Trafford and if they win they will be a short price favourite to lift the trophy.

As a bonus to our customers we are going to refund losing bets in this game (singles up to £50) as a free bet for day one at Cheltenham.
