Premiership Predictions

Saturday, 17 January 2009
Blackburn v Newcastle, 15:00
Newcastle are away and have started to look a bit shaky recently.
2-0

Bolton v Man Utd, 15:00
Man U will no doubt continue their charge towards the title.
0-1

Chelsea v Stoke, 15:00
Doubts are being cast on Big Phil's ability to bring the title back to Stamford Bridge. Abromovic has suffered losses due to the worldwide recession and won't sanction any expensive transfers. Lucky they're just playing Stoke and can redeem themselves for the thrashing they received from Man Utd.
2-0

Hull v Arsenal, 17:30
One of the shocks of the season was Hull's victory at the Emirates. They haven't looked that strong for a while. Arsenal can still turn it on with a good starting eleven. Gunners' revenge.
1-2

Man City v Wigan, 15:00
City could be close to paying over £100M for Kaka but can't be sure of winning this fixture. Steve Bruce's attackers are more than capable of breaching City's slipshod defence.
1-1

Sunderland v Aston Villa, 15:00
Villa are the Kings of Counter-attack. Sunderland have returned to type since Spragia's permanent appointment.
0-2

West Brom v Middlesbrough, 15:00
Mowbray played the best part of his career at Boro and no doubt keeps an eye on them. This is the type of fixture Boro lose.
2-0

Sunday, 18 January 2009
Tottenham v Portsmouth, 16:00
Appy Arry takes on his former protege. Both managers started well when Redknapp made the switch to Spurs but have since gone off the rails slightly.
1-1

West Ham v Fulham, 13:30
West Ham have no idea who will be on their playing staff come the close of the transfer window. Fulham have an astute manager in Roy Hodgson who should have enough nous to come away with a victory on the other side of London.
1-2

Monday, 19 January 2009
Liverpool v Everton, 20:00
Everton haven't won at Anfield for a number of years. Xabi Alonso has been a notable absence in midfield for Liverpool. Everton are a resilient side who will be dying to beat their more successful rivals but LIverpool should have enough with Torres, Gerrard, Alonso and Mascherano to beat the Toffeemen.
2-1
