On the Forecast: Gameweek 25

Missing the love everywhere he go
No easy games that I can identify this week; All fixtures are equally balanced based on form with history backing up their previous meetings; Here goes the Gameweek 25 forecast;

Top Four Quest
ARS vs EVE - I see some goals here and without Nasri, RVP as well as Fab & Walcott will have more prominent role and its a home game to say at least; Lately, Everton could only draw when they should win so they can only hope for a stalemate here; Go Gunners!;

SUN vs CHE - When everything look so nice suddenly Chelsea faltered again; Facing their conquerors who made them poor until now, the home defense have a good record but I will not bet for the clean sheet of course; Chelsea will get their sweet revenge;

MANU vs AST - Another come from behind win after playing poorly on the weekend; Villa are on the rise after getting DBent but the former champion are made of steel; United to win it with Rooney breaking his duck;

BIR vs MANC - City need Dzeko to rescue their FA Cup ambition while Brums replicated United trick by snatching the victory from their opponent noses; Don't depend on both defense but Foster may get more points than Hart at home though, I might put him to be honest; My hunch prove irresistible to see the home side get something from City;

Mid-table Battle
BLA vs TOT - The crushing defeat by Fulham really punished them hard and who does not afraid of The Cottagers now?; Blackburn are doing nice as a mid table team and relishing to collect their home points against the depleted Spurs defense; High scoring draw for me;

Is he Baggies missing link?

LIV vs STK - In the next 24 hours, Liverpool may splash Fernando Torres cash to buy anyone in the premiership; I fear for his play time this week and I'm suggesting to stay away but they will have more than enough firepower to win against Stoke to continue their newly discovered form; Hand of God II may not play though;

FUL vs NEW - After dispatching European hopeful (Spurs) convincingly, this is where Fulham season starts; Newcastle got the unloved Stephen Ireland to help them in the absence of Carroll; I expect another win for the home team with their own interesting new faces;

Relegation fight
WBA vs WIG - Odemwingie already got his new strike partner in Carlos Vela who are making headlines as a sub before; While Wigan never lost their defensive quality after holding Bolton at home on the weekend; Who want to bet for a high scoring draw for The Baggies with me?;D; But don't trust their backline of course;

BLP vs WHAM - Charlie Adam fate is hanging in the balance and I fear for him if Liverpool come calling; Good news for The Hammers after getting Robbie Keane while their own Victor Obinna just scored a hattrick; Good omen for Avram Grant as the home side already experienced back to back home defeats; Hammering win for The Hammers;

Latest***Dateline Transfer Blockbusters (Confirmed!)

Transfer with caution as these guys may not play in midweek; GW26 is the realistic date;

a) Torres & David Luiz to make Chelsea the one to beat;
b) Andy Carroll to partner Luis Suarez at Liverpool;
c) Obafemi Martins is back with Brums;
d) Daniel Sturridge to break the Bolton striking partnership;
e) Relegation saver James Beattie joins Andy Reid at Blackpool;
f) Unsuccessful traveler Eidur Gudjohnson arrives at Fulham;
g) Unrelated; Paul Konchesky on loan to Nottingham Forest;D;
