Midweek matches are a staple of late November and December in the EPL. It also marks the busiest period of the year for football in England. It should be fun so let's get started with the mid-week fearless predictions.
Sunderland - QPR (1-1)
The Harry Redknapp revolution begins with a point and not a loss as QPR score a late goal to send Martin O'Neill to the brink of resignation.
Aston Villa - Reading (2-1)
Paul Lambert's men played resiliently against Arsenal to grab a deserved point. One would only assume that they should be able to grab three points against Reading, right?
Southampton - Norwich (2-0)
Two teams battling in the relegation zone means that I usually choose the home team, so back the Saints for the victory.
Tottenham - Liverpool (4-2)
There will be goals in this game, I believe that. Even though Liverpool are undefeated in their last 5 or so games, Tottenham have too much going forward to keep that streak intact.
Stoke - Newcastle (1-0)
Stoke at home on a cold night in November is a lock, book it . . . pay the player.
Swansea - West Brom (2-1)
West Brom's run ends in Wales. I am a big fan of the Swans and think they do enough to hold off the onslaught from the Midlands.
Chelsea - Fulham (3-0)
Rafa's first home game did not go according to plan, you know with the booing and the what not. So, let's see how Round #2 goes. Torres grabs his first for the new boss and Chelsea romp.
Arsenal - Everton (2-0)
Arsenal on the road is a frustrating encounter having spent 90 minutes watching the Gunners struggle against Aston Villa. But at home they are a different team and I expect a professional job against Everton.
Manchester United - West Ham (4-1)
United have fallen behind in most of their matches this season, the trend continues but a quick four in the second half ensure that the Red Devils get the victory.
Wigan - Manchester City (1-2)
Still undefeated City will have a tougher time than expected at Wigan, but will still sneak away with three points.
OVERALL RECORD
72-57
