Premiership Predictions

Saturday, 15 November 2008
Arsenal v Aston Villa, 15:00
Arsenal will buoyed by victory over United last weekend and are at home. Villa are OK but aren't genuine contenders.
2-0

Blackburn v Sunderland, 15:00
Ince is still learning the ropes as a top flight manager but so is Keane. Two former United players adds to the even nature of the contest.
1-1

Bolton v Liverpool, 12:45
Bolton looked on the ropes a few weeks ago but have since been resurgent, beating Hull last weekend. However, I think Liverpool will have too much for them especially with Torres regaining match fitness.
1-3

Fulham v Tottenham, 15:00
A London derby is not always easy to call. 'Appy 'Arry's run will surely end soon. I think Hodgson's a decent manager and will pull it off in a close contest.
2-1

Man Utd v Stoke, 15:00
Are United susceptible to Rory Delap's ridiculously long throws? I doubt it. A full strength United side will win in the end. They'll score early on and Stoke will fight admirably but United will score late on.
3-0

Newcastle v Wigan, 15:00
Joe Kinnear seems to be making his mark at Newcastle now. The decent Zaki might get a goal.
2-1

West Brom v Chelsea, 17:30
Chelsea will be hoping to recover from exiting the Carling Cup on penalties. West Brom have supposedly played good football but they're toothless in front of goal.
0-3

West Ham v Portsmouth, 15:00
Zola's been struggling recently. Adams is still a new manager. It's got draw written all over it - so expect a seven goal thriller.
0-0

Sunday, 16 November 2008
Everton v Middlesbrough, 13:30
Two of the most boring teams in the league battle it out. Boro are often capable of shock results but not here.
2-1

Hull v Man City, 16:00
The wheels have started of fall off Hull's title challenge recently. Mark Hughes has had the cursed vote of confidence. Both teams have a lot to play for.
2-2
