It will be a cracker |
Don't Trust Derbies
EVE vs LIV
TOT vs ARS
FUL vs QPR
Expect a cracking match as both Merseysiders are fully rested in midweek. Everton almost disrupt City rhythm last time out while Pool are getting back into form after back to back defeats. Everybody expect Suarez & Adam to score big but dont be surprised if the goals coming from the defense though ie Jagielka & Baines. Please be wary on Toffees secret weapon, Royston Drenthe. I guess its a draw here and no clean sheet please.
Current form sees Spurs & Arsenal are having a contrasting turn of events. Only two players (Adebayor & Parker) needed to get back on track with the addition of fit-again Van Der Vaart and once again settled Modric, their ammunition are fully loaded. Meanwhile, two good things for to the Gunners are Van Persie finding his form (albeit needed a red card to assist him) and Ramsey is getting pretty good with Arteta beside him. They are still not convincing defensive-wise and a lot of players are possibly out injured. Seems like a good time to face them eh, Mr Redknapp?. Just put all attacking players from both side and hope for a miracle. Realistically, Spurs have a lot of advantage in their own backyard.
Not so famous London derby pitted a new-look QPR against a very resilient Fulham especially at The Cottage. Let's put the facts straight, first Gers are increasingly hard to beat with their only recorded two wins were away, Fulham never lost at home yet but still winless, QPR midfield look rejuvenated with the new signings, the home team maybe a bit tired after a short trip to Denmark and their defense is unpredictable still. I guess its a fourth draw then but I reckon Fulham to get the long-anticipated first win.

Draw or Else
AST vs WIG
SUN vs WBA
WOL vs NEW
SWA vs STK
These four matches could possibly end with a draw. Wigan are off-form but they're still capable to score the odd goal, the Baggies are looking to get the edge but still not enough while playing away after an European assignment may prove too much for Stoke. Villa & Swans impressive home form are respectable but lack of bite and Newcastle unbeaten form could punish improving Wolves with their water tight defense. Sunderland is Sunderland, fast becoming a yo-yo club. Advantage is on the form teams obviously.

Midweek Banker
BLA vs MANC
MANU vs NOR
BOL vs CHE
Aforementioned matchups are most likely the source of your captain material. Famous pick will be Aguero & Nani with the most favourable opponents but dont forget Chelsea's upcoming and rising candidates including Ramires, Mata, Drog and even out of form Lampard. Just keep in mind the most in-form team of the three predicted losers is Norwich who are just recorded back to back wins (Caution on Nani and Welbeck) while Bolton are the worse bunch with five straight losses. On paper, Blackburn are looking a very delicious dish for the Championship-hungry City. Good luck and see you next two weeks guys. (Note: 2-weeks international break)
