Since Stoke’s promotion, many methods have been employed to try to nullify the threat posed by Rory Delap’s bullets into the box.

Dean Windass tried distracting him with some unusual warm-up routines, Lucas Neill attempted to engage in some towel-related mind games and, just the other day, Burnley tried pushing the advertising hoardings closer to the pitch, but still goal after Stoke goal stems from a Delap throw.

Aston Villa won’t need any fancy techniques to shield themselves from an onslaught – they’ve got Richard Dunne, while the presence of James Collins

Germany and Italy are both available at odds greater than evens to beat Argentina and Cameroon tonight – meaning that a £10 double on the second and third most successful nations in World Cup history with Betfair tonight will return £37.10.

Croatia had a poor World Cup qualifying campaign but still managed to pick up twice as many points as Belgium, so odds greater than 6/4 on Slaven Bilic

Whisper it quietly but the mesmerising, seatbeltless Brazil who stylishly strutted their way to five World Cups by brushing aside anyone who dared to challenge them are fast becoming the masters of doing just enough.

Crystal Palace are 13/8 on Betfair to produce a minor upset in the FA Cup by beating Premier League Wolves a week after entering administration. Here’s why we’re backing them…

1. Wolves haven’t covered themselves in glory of late. They’ve won just one of their last seven matches and that was a slender 1-0 triumph away to League One strugglers Tranmere.

It’s been a miserable few months for Sunderland, who have taken just three points from their last nine league games but throughout the miserable run, Darren Bent has continued to score.
