Premier League Predictions - Chelsea and Liverpool to march on

Premier League Predictions

As I have the worst track record in history when it comes to predicting the scores and results in games, I thought I’d have another go to show you just how bad I really am. I’ve seen the experts do it and they get nearly all of them wrong so I can’t be any worse than them can I?

OK, here goes with this weekends games in the Premier League:

# Chelsea v Man Utd, 14:00

The big one sees leaders Chelsea take on fourteenth placed Manchester United. United will be keen to avoid defeat as it is likely that picking up no points would see them fall into the relegation zone!

Chelsea have started the season in ominous form for all of the others and they look to be a pretty formidable outfit. I’m sure Manchester United will come good at some stage but at times this season they have looked like the Dog and Duck pub team!

I can see this one being a little embarrassing for Sir Alex and his men.

Soccer News prediction; 3-0

# Hull v Everton, 15:00

Sitting in fifth place it is fair to say that Hull have surprised a few people. I would guess that Hull themselves are amongst the most surprised.

Everton have had a mixed start but news that they may have secured the services of David Moyes for another five years together with the return of Tim Cahill will have given everyone at Goodison a lift.

Hull may continue to surprise us but I think Everton will have too much for them.

Soccer News prediction; 1-2

# Man City v Portsmouth, 15:00

Two teams who would have started the season with an eye on achieving a top six finish. For Portsmouth that is still the target and a possibility. For Manchester City the goalposts have moved somewhat.

These are two decent sides who have made similar starts. On the balance of probabilities you have to just give it to the home team.

Soccer News prediction; 1-0

# Tottenham v Wigan, 15:00

Tottenham got their first win of the season on Thursday night in an unconvincing 2-1 victory over Wisla Krakow in the Uefa Cup. That result may ‘kick start’ their season or alternatively it might just show that they are not very good at the moment. Sitting rock bottom of the league the fans will be desperate for a win. If that desperation reaches then pitch, the players could find things really difficult.

Steve Bruce seems to have moulded Wigan into a competitive outfit who can match most of the teams in the league. Have they ever been to White Hart Lane as favourites before?

Soccer News prediction; 1-1

# West Brom v Aston Villa, 12:00

Another local derby. West Brom are looking a little fragile and a home defeat by West Ham last week will have been another blow to their confidence.

Aston Villa are looking like a top five team at the moment and they will be relishing this game.

A great atmosphere with a hostile crowd awaits Villa but I think they will have just enough to class to in the day.
