EPL08.com - UPDATE

Apologies for not updating the site after the matches last weekend. We got served by a notice from the FA to take off Video content from the site. So unfortunately we won't be able to showcase any Videos here anymore, but we'll try and include links.

All this will be sorted when we switch to our dedicated servers.

Well no EPL this weekend because of International matches. England look set to crash out from Euro 2008!

EPL Weekend 13 - Fixtures

EPL Weekend #13:

Saturday:

Sunderland vs Newcastle:
After getting thrashed at home against Portsmouth last weekend, the Magpies would be looking at making some amends in the Wear-Tyne derby match. I'd expect a hard fought draw.

Derby vs West Ham:
Derby fans would be looking for a strong performance from their team at home this season. West Ham fans on the other hand would be expecting 3 points from this game, especially if the Hammers are looking to push for a European slot for next year.

Liverpool vs Fulham:
Liverpool thrashed Besiktas 8-0 mid-week and will be brimming with confidence, but Benitez is sure to tinker with the squad as always and they might actually slip up another 2 points today especially against the Premiership draw specialists - Fulham.

Sunday:

Bolton vs Middlesbrough:
Two teams which are definitely struggling this season. Both have made their worst ever starts to a Premier League campaign. Bolton should be able to nick victory in this match and also considering the fact that Middlesbrough haven't won here in the last 5 visits.

Chelsea vs Everton:
Chelsea haven't conceeded a goal in more than 7 and a half hours of Premiership football and finally seem to have a pretty nice attacking flair about them. It's definitely going to be tough for David Moyes' men to get anything out of this match but I wouldn't be surprised if they stick on for a stubborn draw.

Tottenham vs Wigan:
3 points on a platter for Tottenham and they can't afford to lose this chance. It's about time they get their season back in shape.

Birmingham vs Aston Villa:
The Birmingham city derby is never boring! I'm sure some of you might still remember the freak Peter Enckelman own goal back in 2002 in a hotly contested clash between these two teams.


Man Utd vs Blackburn:
This ones going to be a cracker of a match. Blackburn have taken points off Liverpool, Arsenal and Chelsea this season and I have feeling they might upset United too. A draw is definitely on the cards.

Portsmouth vs Man City:
Two teams which have done exceptionally well this season and definitely deserve their place in the Top 5 of the table. A draw seems the obvious out-come but a single goal could settle this game in either teams favour.

Monday:

Reading vs Arsenal:
Arsenal will be looking at continuing their great start to the season but Reading will definitely put up a strong fight.

EPL Weekend 12 - Results

This weekend saw the clash of the giants and table toppers - Arsenal and Manchester United. Chelsea had an opportunity to climb back to third place and try and close the gap between the leaders and them. Liverpool and Blackburn also went head-to-head with both the teams on the same no. of points.

Results:

Arsenal 2-2 Manchester United:
A typical match between the arch-rivals. Video highlights of this match can be seen here.

Aston Villa 2-0 Derby:
Villa claimed 3 points at home with a comfortable win over top relegation contenders Derby County.

Everton 3-1 Birmingham:
Everton ran-out 3-1 winners at Goodison Park against Birmingham City.

Fulham 3-1 Reading:
Fulham registered a win after a really long time and victory took them to the 13th spot in the table.

Middlesbrough 1-1 Tottenham:
Bent scored for the Spurs but Young hammered home a stunner to equalise for Boro. Things not looking good for Tottenham but the draw finally got them off the relegation zone.

Newcastle 1-4 Portsmouth:
Portsmouth shocked a lot of people and humiliated the Magpies at St James' Park. The game started of at a blistering pace with 4 goals in the first quarted of the match. With victory Portsmouth now move into the Top 4 of the table and given the fact that they've already played the Big 4 - they deserve all the credit.

Wigan 0-2 Chelsea:
Chelsea picked up a comfortable victory at Wigan. Lampard scored the first while Belleti scored his first goal for the Blues and it sure was a brilliant one.

Blackburn 0-0 Liverpool:
Blackburn continue their good form and maintain their place in the top 5 of the table. A hard fought draw for Liverpool and they are slipping away from the leaders with each passing week.

Video Highlights: Arsenal vs Manchester United

Game of the Week for EPL Weekend 12:

A typical fiesty clash between arch-rivals Arsenal and Manchester United saw it end in high drama with Gallas grabbing a late equaliser in injury time.

Earlier Rooney put Man U ahead only for Fabregas to equalise minutes into the second half. Ronaldo seemed to have won the points for Man U 9 minutes from time but Gunners' skipper William Gallas had other things on his head and headed in just before the end.

Anyways it was a highly eventful weekend in the Premiership with Chelsea thrashing Manchester City 6-0 and Liverpool and Arsenal fighting out a 1-1 draw. The misery meanwhile continued for Tottenham.

Results:

Birmingham 3-2 Wigan Athletic:
A close game which could have gone either way. After a strong start to the season, Wigan have now slipped into the bottom 5 of the table.

Chelsea 6-0 Manchester City:
Carnage at the Bridge as a rampant Chelsea walked over a hapless City squad. It seemed like a match between table toppers and relegation contenders. City continue to lie 3rd in the table while Chelsea have now moved up to 4th position.

Manchester United 4-1 Middlesbrough:
Middlesbrough surprised United when they drew level in the 6th minute and frustrated United in the first half. But Rooney and Tevez combined beautifully in the second half to knock to wind out of Southgate's boys.

Reading 2-1 Newcastle:
After beating Spurs last weekend - this was supposed to be an easy game for the Magpies but Steve Coppell's team had other ideas and Reading fought for a well deserved victory.

Sunderland 1-1 Fulham:
Both the teams would have liked to register a victory but played out a draw which leaves them both at 9 points hovering near the relegation zone.

Porstmouth 0-0 West Ham:
Green was the star as both the Goal keepers managed to keep a clean sheet and Portsmouth are looking pretty good in the top half of the table, but they need to win games like these if they want to finish in the top 6 this year.

Bolton 1-1 Aston Villa:
Anelka scored for the Trotters as new manager Gary Megson managed to grab his first points for Bolton. Last couple of seasons Aston Villa would have been quite pleased with such a result at the Reebok Stadium but this time around they would be thinking - 2 points dropped!

Derby 0-2 Everton:
Derby look pretty doomed for relegation though this season still has a long way to go.

Tottenham 1-2 Blackburn:
Blackburn continue to impress while Tottenham continue to dissapoint. Blackburn lie in the 5th position, ahead of Liverpool and joint on points with Chelsea. Tottenham will be hoping their fortunes take a change with the change in manager.

Liverpool 1-1 Arsenal:
Liverpool and Arsenal fought out a draw at Anfield. Gerrard scored for the Kops while Fabregas equalised for the Gunners.

This weekend also saw me break into the Top 50 of India in the Fantasy Premier League and even topped the EPL08.com League. Join our league using the code: 225874-47670

EPL Weekend 10 - Results

Everton 1-2 Liverpool
Liverpool were really lucky to grab at win at the Merseyside derby after the Referee awarded them 2 penalties and sent off 2 Everton players. Everton themselves were robbed of 2 clear penalty appeals and after dominating much of the game they would definitely be more than just dissapointed.

Arsenal 2-0 Bolton
Bolton put up a good show and frustrated Arsenal for long periods of time before a Kolo Toure free-kick put Arsenal in the lead. Rosicky added the second late into the 2nd half.

Blackburn 4-2 Reading
Blackburn dominated Reading and registered a solid 4-2 victory at Ewood Park. Victory ensure that Rovers retain their 6th position in the league.

Fulham 0-0 Derby
A clash between two relegation threatened teams ended 0-0 and Fulham extend their winless streak to 8 games. At least Derby managed to end the series of 5 consecutive Away defeats.

Man City 1-0 Birmingham
Man City continue to get the results even when they are not playing well. They were pretty lucky to grab a win against Birmingham and need to thank the amazingly consistent Elano Blumer.

Middlesbrough 0-2 Chelsea
Chelsea finally look like their old self. Drogba has made public his displeasure at Chelsea but he ensured that he kept slotting in the goals. Alex scored his first goal for Chelsea via a sizzling free-kick.

Aston Villa 1-4 Man United
Man United ran riot against a strong Aston Villa side who were made to look pretty puny! Everyone expected a stronger performance by Villa at home but Rooney and Co. had other ideas.

West Ham 3-1 Sunderland
The scoreline looks flattering and the match was much closer than that. A freakish own goal turned the game in West Hams favour and Bellamy added a third right at the end to ensure the win for the Hammers.

Newcastle 3-1 Tottenham
Newcastle added to woes of Tottenham by registering a comprehensive at St. James' Park. One gets the feeling that Martin Jol is just days away from a sack. A bottom 3 position after such a massive amount of pre-season spending is simply unacceptable.

EPL Weekend 10 - Fixtures and Predictions

EPL Weekend #10:

An action packed weekend sees some real exciting games lined up...

Saturday:

Everton vs Liverpool:
The EPL Weekend kicks off with the Merseyside derby and this ones going to be a fierce battle. Victory for Everton will move them on level points with Liverpool. Torres would be relishing his first Premiership derby after playing in many Madrid derbys back at Athletico.
Prediction: 1-1

Arsenal vs Bolton:
Arsenal will be looking at increasing their lead at the top of the Premiership table while Bolton who are manager-less at the moment would be desperate for some points. The Trotters are languishing at the bottom of the table with only goal difference keeping them away from rock bottom Derby. But Bolton have always be a bogey side of sorts for Arsenal and I think they would be able off a draw.
Prediction: 2-2

Blackburn vs Reading:
Blackburn have surprised quite a few this season and currently lie 6th in the table. They weren't active in the transfer season but their only buy - the talismanic striker Roque Santa Cruz has been a big success so far. Thought he's on the injured list, Mark Hughes would be eyeing a victory against a Reading squad which is struggling to find form.
Prediction: 1-0

Fulham vs Derby:
A bottom of the table clash sees Fulham take on Derby and both teams would be desperate for all three points. Fulham are on long winless streak of 7 games while Derby would be keen the end the run of five straight league defeats away.
Prediction: 2-0

Manchester City vs Birmingham City:
High-flying Manchester City will be looking to defend their 100 per cent home record against Birminigham City. Birmingham have a pretty non-enviable away record.
Prediction: 1-0

Middlesbrough vs Chelsea:
Middlesbrough have managed to beat Chelsea at home in the previous two seasons and Southgate's men will be eyeing a hat-trick of victories against the Blues. Chelsea are facing a defensive nightmare with John Terry and Ashley Cole picking up injuries during their international duty with England.
Prediction: 0-1

Wigan Athletic vs Portsmouth:
Portsmouth have had one of the most difficult fixture calenders and have already face all of the Big 4 and still lie in the top 5! A victory today could see them finish the day at fourth. Latics would be keen to spoil the party though.
Prediction: 1-1

Aston Villa vs Manchester United:
Villa will be looking for their fifth straight home win and even Manchester United are in pretty good form. This ones going to be a close match and I reckon a draw would be the outcome.
Prediction: 1-1

Sunday:

West Ham vs Sunderland:
West Ham should be able to record an easy victory against the Black Cats at home.
Prediction: 2-0

Monday:

Newcastle vs Tottenham:
A mouth-watering Monday night clash and this game is sure to be full of goals. Defeat might signal the end of Martin Jol's reign at Tottenham. Tottenham are still looking at their first away victory of the season and I don't think they'll be able to record it against the Magpies.
Prediction: 2-2

EPL Weekend 8 - Fixtures and Predictions

[You might be viewing old Fixtures and Predictions on this page. To view the latest English Premier League fixtures and predictions - CLICK HERE]

EPL Weekend #8:

Saturday:

Man City vs Newcastle:
The weekend starts of with clash between two teams which have started the season off pretty well. Manchester City lie in third place while Newcastle currently occupy the fifth position in the league table. Sure to be a tactical battle between two new managers Eriksson and Allardyce. Should be a close match and I reckon should end in a draw.
Prediction: 1-1

Chelsea vs Fulham:
New manager Avram Grant has pledged some attacking-football and he definitely needs a win as Chelsea take on Fulham in Grant’s first managerial game at Stamford Bridge. Drogba should be back from his injury, though Lampard might still be out.
Prediction: 1-0

Derby vs Bolton:
It’s a bottom of the table clash as Derby take on Bolton. Sammy Lee needs to start registering some wins before the board loses its patience. An away game at Pride Park is a place where you would expect a team playing in Europe to pick up 3 points.
Prediction: 1-3

Portsmouth vs Reading:
A victory for Portsmouth could see them finish Saturday in the Top 5. Should be a scrappy match ending with a share of the points.
Prediction: 1-1

Sunderland vs Blackburn:
Blackburn would be looking at bouncing back after seeing the undefeated streak end against Portsmouth last weekend. Meanwhile Roy Keane would look at this game as a chance to win 3 vital points.
Prediction: 0-1

West Ham vs Arsenal:
This London derby is definitely the match to watch this weekend. Sure to be a fierce battle! Expect the goals to flow along with some high flying tackles.
Prediction: 2-2

Wigan vs Liverpool:
Liverpool would be looking at ending their spree of draws in the League and after a comprehensive win mid-week in the Carling Cup against Reading which also saw Torres score a Hat-Trick.
Prediction: 0-2

Birmingham vs Manchester Utd:
After taking points off Liverpool last weekend, Steve Bruce’s men would be aiming to do the same against the Champions Man Utd. Of course it won’t be easy and they could even face a backlash as United crashed out of the Carling Cup mid-week.
Prediction: 0-1

Sunday:

Everton vs Middlesbrough:
Middlesbrough dropped points at home against Sunderland last week while Everton lost to Aston Villa. Both teams lie mid-table and would want to improve on that. Everton should be able to pip this game by a goal.
Prediction: 1-0

Monday:

Tottenham vs Aston Villa:
Martin Jol would be desperate for a victory against Aston Villa. Justifying 18th position after some extremely heavy spending this year cannot be easy for long. A victory for Bolton against Derby would see the Spurs going into the match in the 19th position! Villa meanwhile will look at getting at least a point out of the game.
Prediction: 2-0

EPL Weekend 7 - Results and Review

[CLICK HERE to view the latest EPL Results]

Apologies for the massive delay once again. But the Indian Cricket Team actually managed to win the Twenty20 Cricket World Cup – so the other site kept me really busy.

Well am back here and following this post would be some posts about Live Scores of Italian Serie A, German Bundesliga, Spanish Premiera Liga and the English Coca-Cola Championship – which would all now be available here.

Well let us look at last weeks results. I got quite a few predictions correct. Arsenal continued their goal-scoring march, Liverpool managed to grab yet another draw and unfortunately Chelsea’s post-Mourinho era got off to a miserable start.

Results - EPL Weekend #7:

Arsenal 5-0 Derby:
(Prediction was: 3-0)
Arsenal continued their charge at the top of the table and continue slotting in lots of goals as they totally ripped Derby County apart. Adebayor scored as Hat-trick as Wegner’s men lie comfortably on top of the league with a game in hand!

Liverpool 0-0 Birmingham:
(Prediction was: 1-1)
As predicted, Liverpool continued their drawing ways and they couldn’t get past a pretty tight Birmingham mid-field and defense. Benitez would be hoping at ending this drawing spree with a victory against Wigan next weekend.

Middlesbrough 2-2 Sunderland:
(Prediction was: 2-1)
Sunderland grabbed a late equalizer and with it a vital point. They had earlier grabbed an early lead only to allow Middlesbrough to comeback and score two goals.

Reading 2-1 Wigan Athletic:
(Prediction was: 1-0)
Reading managed to secure a win and move out of the relegation zone for the time being. This season’s relegation battle is going to be really tight and something I’m sure all of you are looking forward to it.

Fulham 3-3 Manchester City:
(Prediction was: 0-0)
Definitely the most entertaining game of the weekend.
Watch the highlights of this match here.

Newcastle 3-1 West Ham:
(Prediction was: 1-1)
A strong showing by Sam Allardyce’s boys catapulted them above Chelsea and West Ham in the League Table to the 5th position. N’Zogbia was the star after setting up two goals and scoring the third himself.

Aston Villa 2-0 Everton:
(Prediction was: 0-0)
Villa continued with their strong showing in home matches with a solid performance against Everton. Victory saw them leapfrog Everton in the League standings. Both teams are now tied on 10 points with Villa commanding the better goal difference.

Blackburn 0-1 Portsmouth:
(Prediction was: 1-0)
Blackburn’s undefeated Premiership run finally came to an end as Portsmouth managed to register a rare away win at Ewood Park. This culminated a miserable week for the Rovers who had also managed to lose in their UEFA Cup tie.

Bolton 1-1 Tottenham:
(Prediction was: 2-2)
A draw would not be the best result for either of the teams but it was the fair one. Both teams continue to lie in the bottom 3 of the league and it’s just a matter of time before Jol or Lee manage to get the sack!

Manchester United 2-0 Chelsea:
(Prediction was: 1-1)
A disastrous start to the post-Mourinho era for Chelsea as they continued their Premiership slump. Tevez headed in his first goal for United in the Premier League and Saha added another from the penalty spot late on.

We’ll try to get in some more video content from next week. It’s not totally legal – but we won’t be hosting any videos here and would just provide you with links.

EPL Weekend 7 - Fixtures and Predictions

[You might be viewing old Fixtures and Predictions on this page. To view the latest English Premier League fixtures and predictions - CLICK HERE]

EPL Weekend #7:

Saturday:

Arsenal vs Derby:
Arsenal are in great form and though Derby recorded the first win of their season last weekend things are definitely not going to be easy for them at the Emirates Stadium.
Prediction: 3-0

Liverpool vs Birmingham:
Liverpool managed just a draw away at Porto in the Champions League mid-week and they were also held by Portsmouth last week. I expect their drawing spree to continue and think Steve Bruce’s men should be able to take some points off them this weekend.
Prediction: 1-1

Middlesbrough vs Sunderland:
Sunderland manager will look at this fixture and definitely think they can get something out of it and an away win today might catapult them in to the top half of the table. Same holds true for Middlesbrough as they are tied on the same points with the Black Cats.
Prediction: 2-1

Reading vs Wigan Athletic:
Reading would be desperate for a win and would want to get out of the relegation zone. Wigan are surprisingly in the Top Half of the table after a pretty decent start to the season. I expect Steve Coppell’s men to pull off a home victory.
Prediction: 1-0

Fulham vs Manchester City:
Fulham will be looking to record only their second win of the season. They’ve been pretty unlucky so far but Sven’s men would be looking at retaining their position near the top of the table. Scoreless draw on the cards.
Prediction: 0-0

Sunday:

Newcastle vs West Ham:
This ones sure to be a thriller. West Ham are in good form and Newcastle would be looking at making amends for the 3 dropped points against Derby on Monday. Almost half the players at West Ham have played for Newcastle at some points of their career and all of them would be looking at making a statement via this game.
Prediction: 1-1

Aston Villa vs Everton:
This ones going to be a real good game. Mid-field battle is going to win the game, but they might cancel each other out and this game too looks to be headed for a draw.
Prediction: 0-0

Blackburn vs Portsmouth:
After losing mid-week in the UEFA Cup, Blackburn would be looking at stretching their unbeaten run in the Premiership. They did very well to take points off Chelsea last weekend and would be looking at a victory against a pretty strong Portsmouth squad, which took points off Liverpool last weekend.
Prediction: 1-0

Bolton vs Tottenham:
Two teams which played in the UEFA Cup in the mid-week are languishing near the bottom of the table in the Premiership. Spurs lie in the 17th position and Bolton lie rock-bottom 20th. Both teams would be desperate for a win. High scoring match on the cards.
Prediction: 2-2

Manchester United vs Chelsea:
Alex Ferguson vs Jose Mourinho has always been an exciting battle. Animated and heated discussion, war of words, tactical battle both off and on the pitch. I’m sure even Ferguson would miss Mourinho. The exit of the Special One overshadows the enormity of this clash.
Prediction: 1-1

Hi Guys!

I've been very busy over the last week or so with WorldCupTwenty20.com - Which is the site we are running for the on-going Cricket ICC Twenty20 World Cup.

Apart from that the LIVE EPL Scores system at EPL08.com went down last week and further apologies for that. That has been fixed and you should be able to follow Live Action here.

Working on another Live Scores tool for you guys - Soon we'll be offering Live Scores and Commentary for all the major leagues of Europe (Serie A, La Liga, Eredivisie, Ligue 1 and even the Coca Cola Championships). Add to this we'll be setting up a Live Center for the UEFA Champions League and the UEFA Cup.

Thus you'll be able to follow all the LIVE action here.

As a Chelsea fan, things haven't been too good last couple of weeks. A miserable dip in form along with the sudden exit of Jose Mourinho has literally given all us fans the blues.

Well we wish Mourinho all the best for his future and thank him for all the special moments at Chelsea.

Plus many of you must have noted that I wrote out Season Previews for all the teams except for the Big 4 - thats primarily because I feel the best preview for such big teams can only be written a few weeks into a long hard season. So all the 4 teams - Chelsea, Manchester United, Arsenal and Liverpool are going to be reviewed in the coming week.

Stay tuned for a lot of exciting action.

Cheers!

EPL Weekend 6 - Fixtures and Predictions

[You might be viewing old Fixtures and Predictions on this page. To view the latest English Premier League fixtures and predictions - CLICK HERE]

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
