Soccernet Showdown - April 13

Each week we'll be asking our writers to place a £5 wager on their tip from the weekend's fixtures. We will be running a handy league table to show who's doing well, or not so well, to help you decide if you wish to follow the advice or avoid it like the plague.

• John Brewin: Due to attend both FA Cup semis, John has gone for a double. Everton and Spurs to win, as a double at odds of 7.50 at bet365.

• Jon Carter: JC fancies Sparky's QPR to beat Woy's WBA at odds of 3.50 at bet365.

• Dale Johnson: Dale fancies the Canaries will fly against Manchester City at odds of 6.00 at bet365.

• Dom Raynor: Dom goes for broke with a big bet that could pay big, very big. Nikola Jelavic to score first for Everton in a 3-1 win defeat of Liverpool? Odds of 91.00. Big stuff.

• Robin Hackett: Bigger stuff from freshly-minted Robin, who says there will be over 2.5 goals in Norwich v Manchester City at odds of 1.57 at bet365. And not at 6.00 as he told us it was. Nice try, Robin.

• Mark Lomas: Love is a losing game, as Amy Winehouse once sang. Mark loves losing so he is going to bet on Nikola Jelavic to score first for Everton at odds of 7.00. That actually looks a good bet, between you and us.

• James Dall: James is getting spliced, possibly as I write. He still planned ahead, as a man of responsibilty, so he has sent in this: "An exact total of three goals in the match between Manchester United and Aston Villa" - 4.00 at bet365.

• Rob Brooks: No bet from Rob so let's go native with Rob. Tim Cahill to score first and Everton win 3-1? Odds of 116.00 at bet365.
