Arsenal May Defeat Grimsby

By "8cuurnroh"

Blackpool, who have managed to draw away from the bottom of the table as the result of some good wins recently, have Leeds United as visitors." I fancy the homesters to win here. Liverpool, who are in the relegation zone, cannot hope for any points at Brentford, although the Bees appear to be suffering from the strain of trying to make every game a stepping stone to the championship. Arsenal should have no difficulty in gaining two points from Grimsby who have now three centre forwards in their front line: Pat Glover Welsh International, Hughie Gallacher, Scottish International, and Beattie the man who had three clubs in 36 days.

Chesterfield, the mercurial side of the Second Division, have Sheffield United as visitors, and in spite of the lapse of last week, I am going to take the leaders to win here. Aston Vill should win over Bury, although the Villa appear to be suffering from/the strain of cup games and strenuous league encounters. Manchester United, who are in the running for promotion, should gain two points at Plymguth.
