Gameweek Predictions

Blackburn Vs. West Ham

It’s been a tough time on and off the pitch for West Ham going into this one. And expect Blackburn to give them no quarter. Allardyce’s men will be tough to break down, and I can see this petering out into a draw.

Prediction: 1-1


Bolton Vs. Liverpool

Liverpool, one of the favourites to lift the title this season, have seen a poor start to the season, slumping to 2 defeats in 3 games. In some ways, then, this is a must win match for The Reds. I believe they will rise to the challenge. Bolton might score a goal, but Liverpool to come out on top eventually.

Prediction: 1-3


Chelsea Vs. Burnley

Burnley have begun strongly after being promoted, scalping Manchester United and Everton. Now, they come up against Chelsea, a team that has a 100% record this season. Can Burnley claim another gigantic scalp?

I don’t think so. Even last season, when Chelsea weren’t at their best, they had the least conceded goals in the entire league. Chelsea to win by 2 goals.

Prediction: 2-0


Manchester United Vs. Arsenal

The two heavyweights come into this match with differing mindsets. United are rested, hungry and off the pace after their loss to Burnley; while Arsenal have been involved in Europe in midweek, are on the top of their game in the EPL, and raring to go. I’m going to sit on the fence for this one, albeit it is a high scoring fence.

Prediction: 2-2

Stoke Vs. Sunderland

Sunderland seem to be the most improved team in the EPL this season, with astute signings on and off the field. This has seen them sit comfortably in the top half, though it is very early in the season. With the attacking options available to them, I believe the Black Cats should be able to break open the Stoke defence once at least.

Prediction: 0-1


Tottenham Vs. Birmingham

Spurs are on a high currently, sitting pretty top of the table. Will they be top even after this gameweek? Probably. Expect them to notch up another win, with the Blues unable to resist their charge.

Prediction: 3-1


Wolves Vs. Hull

Two of the teams favourites for going down battle in an early season 6 pointer. Of the two, Hull look in better shape currently, with the injured Kevin Doyle yet to feature for the Wolves. With Jozy Altidore performing well on his debut, expect Hull to take 3 points in a scrap fest.

Prediction: 1-2


Portsmouth Vs. ManchesterCity

The much-debated takeover by Dr. Al-Fahim completed, Pompey can finally concentrate on matters on the pitch. It will need time for them to hit their groove though, and this match comes too early for their revival. City to win in this battle of the Arab owners.

Prediction: 1-3


Everton Vs. Wigan

Everton have had a torrid start to the season, failing to land a single point, or keep hold of Joleon Lescott. The only silver lining has been their run in the Europa league. Wigan, on the other hand, started extremely well under new boss Roberto Martinez. But they have run into troubled waters ever since. They come into this match having been dumped out of the Carling Cup. Expect Everton to be marginally better.

Prediction: 2-1


Aston Villa Vs. Fulham

Villa have seen mixed fortunes this season, with failure in the Europa League, which is good for them in the long run to be honest, with the thin squad they have. They have also managed to defeat Liverpool at Anfield in quite some time. Fulham on the other hand, are doing well in the European stage, but will need to step it up domestically. This game will be a keenly contested affair, and Villa should come out on top narrowly.

Prediction: 2-1
