After a week off, here is hoping that
we will able to climb above .500 with our EPL Fearless Predictions. We have a
great assortment of games on tap and trust me when I say it will be an exciting
weekend of football. With England playing well, there really is no drama in
England is there?!? Thank you Captain Roo-Roo! Onto the picks!
Everton - Manchester United (2-2)
So disgraced England star Wayne
Rooney's first match after the allegations of infidelity is against his boyhood
club Everton, what drama. Let us assume that Goodison Park will be in a fever
pitch, like the pun, and that Everton will be going for blood against a
mentally weaker United. But at the end of the day it is United and a draw is on
tap.
Arsenal - Bolton (2-0)
Arsenal are without Theo Walcott and
RVP and are playing a tough Bolton squad that have actually scored all of their
goals in the second half. Arsenal still have a stellar attacking line-up and I
expect them to grab all three points at the Emirates.
Fulham - Wolverhampton Wolves (2-1)
Fulham have had a couple decent
showings before the international break, drawing United in particular while
Wolves have started the season brightly although the opposition have been on
the lower end of the table. I see a home victory in store for Fulham in this
one.
Manchester City - Blackburn (1-0)
Blackburn have had a tendency to make
things difficult for the top teams and are usually very difficult to breakdown.
The key for City is to score an early goal forcing Blackburn to come out and
play thus opening up the game. City should triumph in a low scoring game.
Newcastle - Blackpool (2-0)
Newcastle have started their campaign
very brightly and will be taking on fellow promoted partners Blackpool. St.
James Park will be an intimidating stadium for Blackpool and I see Newcastle
grabbing all three points.
West Brom Albion - Tottenham Hotspur
(0-1)
Tottenham
struggled mightily in their last league campaign against Wigan and I
see them bouncing back against West Brom away from home. Even though, they have
a crucial Champions League match on Tuesday, Tottenham should secure all three
points, but then again it is Tottenham.
West Ham - Chelsea (0-2)
West Ham have started the season very
poorly and recently locked in midfielder Scott Parker for a further five years.
Chelsea, on the other hand, are en fuego and will cruise to another victory.
Wigan - Sunderland (1-1)
Wigan played brilliantly against Tottenham
two weeks ago and were bolstered by the performance of their keeper, Ali Al
Habsi. Furthermore, Wigan will be welcoming their old manager Steve Bruce to
their home ground, yet at the end of the day Darren Bent will rescue Sunderland
and grab a point.
Birmingham - Liverpool (0-2)
Roy Hodgson recently claimed that he is
in the process of removing all the `dead wood`that was left by his predecessor
at Anfield, Rafa Benitez. Birmingham will be a difficult opponent but Torres
and Gerrard should score the goals for the Reds.
Stoke - Aston Villa (1-1)
So the Frenchman Gerard Houllier is
back in English football and it is still unsure if this will be his first match
in charge of Aston Villa. With all the uncertainty surrounding his status a
draw is on the cards between both team.
OVERALL RECORD
14-16
