This Weeks Fixtures

Saturday 22/12/07
Arsenal v Tottenham Hotspur
Arsenal should be good enough to continue their great record against Tottenham,
Fabregas, Van Persie and Hleb all back, Spurs without suspended Zokora and a host of injuries.
Prediction 3-0

Aston Villa v Manchester City
Tough one to call, City on the road aren't the force they are at home.
Villa occasionally brilliant but have suffered some bad defeats.
Prediction 2-1

Bolton Wanderers v Birmingham City
Improving Bolton back to their old style should have enough to beat McLeish's B'ham,
Birmingham need a few new players to make an impact in the premier.
Prediction 2-0

Fulham v Wigan Athletic
Fulham sacked Lawrie Sanchez this week and go into this game managerless, Wigan will be confident after last weeks big win, although to soon to be jumping on a Marcus Bent bandwagon.
Prediction 1-1

Liverpool v Portsmouth
Portsmouth have been excellent this season but will struggle here, I expect Harry to go defensive and hit on the break. If Torres plays I expect Pool to nick it.
Prediction 1-0

Middlesbrough v West Ham Utd
The Hammers haven't won here in the Premiership, and will need to be at their awayday best to get something against a more confident Boro.
Prediction 1-1

Reading v Sunderland
After a slow start Reading are hitting form which should be enough to overcome a fragile Sunderland defence.
Prediction 2-0

Sunday 23/12/07
Manchester Utd v Everton
Should be a great battle, Everton are looking really good at the moment and will push United all the way, home form should be enough to sneak it.
Prediction 2-1

Newcastle Utd v Derby County
Under achieving Newcastle should be able to overcome Premier whipping boys Derby who already looked doomed.
Prediction 2-0

Blackburn Rovers v Chelsea
Blackburn are on a bad run which won't be helped by this weeks suspensions to Samba, Warnock and Savage. Chelsea will be missing Terry and Drogba but should have more than enough to overcome shell shocked Blackburn.
It will interesting to see of Santa Cruz can continue his pre-Christmas run of form.
Prediction 0-2

Wednesday 26/12/07 (Boxing Day)
Chelsea v Aston Villa
Tottenham Hotspur v Fulham
West Ham Utd v Reading
Birmingham City v Middlesbrough
Derby County v Liverpool
Everton v Bolton Wanderers
Sunderland v Manchester Utd
