Take on teams who have totally lost their focus

I SUPPOSE I should focus my punting prowess on the Champions League though the Championship undercard looks a belter.

If anyone in the Leicester area, for example, can tell me quite how slaughtered Nige’s boys got over the weekend it would go some way to determining whether the promoted Foxes are a lay at home to Brighton.

It’s all very well Kasper Schmeichel and the lads telling us that their next focus is the title, but if they can’t focus at all because they’ve just spent 48 hours in a drunken stupor, I’m sure a team as competent as Brighton can gatecrash the party.

And then down a level in League One, you’ve got Sheffield United taking on neighbours Rotherham just a few days before the Blades take on Hull in an FA Cup semi.

We heard at the weekend that Sheffield has become the first city in England to run out of water, so is this really a good time for them to be risking injuries with Wembley on the horizon?

Cloughie knows Sheff U can’t make the play-offs and even if it is a derby, he’s bound to ring the changes, isn’t he?

So we’ve got a lay of Leicester and a lumpy bet on Rotherham, which brings us to Chelsea against PSG.

Chelsea didn’t get much of a test from Stoke at the weekend – fans at the top of the East Stand probably had a better view of Peter Cech’s goal than the Stoke strikers. Four touches they had in the Chelsea box – why bother turning up if that’s all you can offer? PSG will be more assertive but I’m on Chelsea to win this one.
