We have made predictions for our first three games of the weekend. Now we look at the next three. The predictions we have made so far are listed below:
Arsenal v Fulham: 2-0
Birmingham City v Tottenham Hotspur: 1-1
Blackburn Rovers v Wolverhampton Wanderers: 1-1
Chelsea v Everton
Chelsea have had some shocking results of late and no one could have suggested at the start of last month that Chelsea could be 2 points of the top at this stage of the season. Injuries have played their part but one would expect Chelsea to do better than
what they have done so far.
The return of Michael Essien from suspension will give everyone in the dressing room a much needed boost. It is expected that John Terry could also make his return while Frank Lampard has an outside chance to make the bench. These latest news are surely
going to lift the likes of Didier Drogba and Florent Malouda who have been below par of late.
Everton on the other hand would be happy enough to see a name on their score sheet other than that of Tim Cahill. The Australian has been the heart and soul of this Everton side this season and with Mikel Arteta missing this one due to suspension, Cahill
and Co will need to up their game for the visit to Stamford Bridge. Everton who have failed to pick up three points in their last 5 league matches and will hope to add more misery on Chelsea but it looks highly unlikely.
Prediction: 2-1
Manchester City v Bolton Wanderers
Manchester City have only picked up 2 wins in their last 6 matches and were pretty ordinary last week against Stoke. They almost nicked the win there and that is how their season has been. They are a difficult team to beat but they either play some superb
stuff or look like a mid table team. Mario Balotelli scored twice in mid week and with Tevez returning to the side; it will be a strong and attacking line-up for City at home, where they have been brilliant for most part of the season.
Bolton have been a fresh of breath air this season, not just because of their points tally but it’s the manner in which they have been accumulated. Owen Coyle’s men have played some breathtaking football this season and Johan Elmander, who was named Player
of the month for November, is the man in form. Along with Kevin Davies he has formed a deadly partnership and if Bolton are hopeful of getting anything from this match then those two have to be firing on all cylinders. It won’t be easy for Bolton at Eastland’s
but on current form a draw will not surprise anyone.
Prediction: 2-1
Wigan Athletic v Stoke City
With just 4 points from their last 6 games, Wigan are the most out of form team in the league. Third from bottom and now without Victor Moses for up to 3 months, Wigan are in somewhat of a crisis. In Charles N’Zogbia they have a player who can win them matches
on his own but Wigan need to play as a team. They were all over the place against West Ham and you never know which Wigan will turn up this weekend. They could even give Stoke a hammering and it won’t shock us.
Stoke on the other hand have been in really good form. They are now unbeaten in their last four and have picked up 10 points from those games. Last week they could consider themselves unlucky not to get all three points against Manchester City, as they had
the better chances to score. Anything can happen in this match but if logic prevails then Stoke can come away with all three points from the DW Stadium.
Prediction: 1-2
To be continued…
