EPL Weekend #6:

Saturday:

Everton vs Manchester United:
Everton are joint top currently and I fancy them to hold Manchester United at home. Last season they let a 2 goal lead slip away against Man U which eventually turned out be ‘the’ crucial game which ensured United’s title success.
Prediction: 1-1

Portsmouth vs Liverpool:
Portsmouth should be able to pull off an upset victory against Liverpool.
Prediction: 1-0

Tottenham vs Arsenal:
This is one London derby which is never short of excitement, sure to be a hard fought exciting battle with a draw as the final result.
Prediction: 2-2

Birmingham vs Bolton:
Steve Bruce’s men should be able to record a victory against Sammy Lee’s Bolton.
Prediction: 1-0

Sunderland vs Reading:
Both the teams are currently threatened in the relegation zone – but it is too early in the season to worry about it. I expect the points to be split.
Prediction: 1-1

West Ham vs Middlesbrough:
West Ham should be able to record a victory at home against a resurgent Middlesbrough squad. A lot of their players are coming back the fitness and it is definitely a good sign for manager Alan Curbishley.
Prediction: 2-1

Wigan vs Fulham:
Wigan should be able to grind out a narrow win at the JJB Stadium. Perhaps a penalty or a set-piece would decide this tie.
Prediction: 1-0

Chelsea vs Blackburn:
After losing to Aston Villa last time around, the pressure will definitely be on Mourinho’s men to ensure they don’t lose any points at home. This ones going to be a tough battle for sure.
Prediction: 2-1

Sunday:

Manchester City vs Aston Vila:
This one should end in a tame nil-nil draw.
Prediction: 0-0

Monday:

Derby vs Newcastle United:
Derby would be desperate for a good showing but it might not be enough. Michael Owen is in great form and things are looking good for Sam Allardyce.
Prediction: 0-2
