Ex-Everton man Andy delivers in the derby
Saturday was a day of agonising near misses for our star tipster Andy Gray, as Nigel Reo Coker spurned a chance to vindicate his call that Aston Villa would defeat Chelsea, Manchester United and Wigan blew 2-0 leads and Ivan Klasnic struck in injury time to scupper his 1-1 shout in Bolton's clash with Stoke.
Sunday was far sweeter though, with his Merseyside derby tips particularly successful - he backed Everton to triumph, the final score to be 2-0 and Tim Cahill to score in a hat-trick that would have provided those who backed each to a £10 stake with an incredible £171 profit.
Incredibly, a £10 bet on Andy's 2-0 correct score tip paid out £133 (with the maximum five per cent commission applied), compared to only £90 with Ladbrokes, £100 with Coral and £110 with William Hill.

The winning streak didn't end there however as he had Manchester City down to be victorious on their trip to Bloomfield Road but bet that they would concede, as well as presciently stating that "you've got to expect the quality of a Carlos Tevez, Adam Johnson or David Silva to make the difference". Silva scored a stunning individual goal that ultimately proved decisive.
