Premier League Predictions

Saturday, 23 October 2010
Tottenham v Everton, 12:45
Despite the fightback on Wednesday make no mistake that Spurs were well beaten by Internazionle. The massive effort to keep things respectable may come back to haunt Harry's boys. Everton are on the up and have the energy and spirit to punish a jaded Tottenham.
Prediction:0-2

Birmingham v Blackpool, 15:00
A tough one to call. The Blues lost their great home record and will be expecting to take the points against Blackpool. No matter what Blackpool do or how they play they will always be the underdog. They like it that way no doubt. Another vital point awaits.
Prediction: 2-2


Chelsea v Wolverhampton, 15:00
Back to the old routine for Chelsea. If Mick McCarthy thinks he had it bad with referees before, wait until John Terry officiates this one. A stroll against 10-men in store.
Prediction: 4-0


Sunderland v Aston Villa, 15:00
Sunderland are never going to be more than mid-table until they win games like this. Villa are starting to look like they have a plan and will execute it here for a good point.
Prediction: 0-0


West Brom v Fulham, 15:00
The Baggies are looking in great form. They have had the luxury of playing with no pressure recently and an expectant crowd will want all three points here. It won't be that easy but they will deliver.
Prediction 1-0


Wigan v Bolton, 15:00
Bolton are starting to establish themselves and Wigan's home games never feel like home games. Wigan are no mugs though.
Prediction: 1-1


West Ham v Newcastle, 17:30
The Hammers are in a false position and maybe Newcastle are too. If Chris Hughton is seriously under pressure as some reports have claimed, it only goes to show how Newcastle have the unique ability to explode or implode. This is a must win for West Ham and they should.
Prediction: 2-0

Sunday, 24 October 2010
Stoke v Man Utd, 13:30
Wayne Rooney has lifted the cloud that was hovering over Old Trafford. The stench remains. Alex Ferguson says that the contract has shown what his club are all about. Sadly that is now true and is true of most of football. No loyalty, no respect and far too many egos. Still, with all those problems they will have too much for the best Sunday league side in the business.
Prediction: 0-1


Liverpool v Blackburn, 15:00
Pressure, pressure, pressure!!! Anfield has seen many big games over the years but none can match the one on Sunday. Defeat will leave the Reds looking at a realistic battle to stay in the league. The fixtures ahead will prove too much. Can Steven Gerrard muster one last push and drive them into mid-table safety, or will he hide in the quarterback role that he is starting to become more than comfortable in? Big Sam often sorts the men from the boys.
Prediction: 0-1


Man City v Arsenal, 16:00
This is the one. This is the one City have been building for. The title challenge will go from a whisper to a loud scream with one good performance here. After this result even Jamie Redknapp may start to believe.

Prediction: 3-1
