Gameweek Preview - GW 2

ManC v Liverpool
Liverpool's 1st game at Anfield under Roy Hogdson showed good flow and great play during the draw against Arsenal.. (if not for a high-profile GK blunder for GK like Reina)

I might opt for a win for Liverpool this game.. some small margin due to defensive play under RH for Liverpool... 1-0 perhaps but a 1-1 draw is most likely

Liverpool's key player - Torres & Gerrard should make an impact in this game provided Mascherano is not leaving now to fill in the power dynamo defensive midfield role to allow Gerrard to advance in attacks. N' Gog shall make way for Torres if Torres is fit enough to play 70 minutes of the game.

ManC - Frankly speaking.. I felt MC squad is a total mess.. last week Yaya Toure was deployed as a RIGHT MIDFIELDER for god sake!!.. anyway.. established MC players like Tevez who is captain, free kick and penalty taker has the advantage over other MC players. His workrate is wonderful as well.


Others:-

Arsenal v Blackpool

Fabregas should be the bonus magnet if he does feature in this game. Chamakh and VPS somehow will not be played together. Anyway, VPS will be the better choice if he does play full 90-minutes

Will Blackpool stunned Arsenal again like they did against Wigan last week? God knows.. Arsenal had be stunned by Hull City in early season 2 seasons ago. Harewood and Adam will be good choices if you want cheap options as your striker & set-piece taker.


Birmingham v Blackburn

Might be a boring game. Birmingham have good defensive record at home. But Blackburn like to be defensive away too.

Look out for hot pick Larsson (set-piece and corner taker) and Blackburn's Jones to grab some bonus if the game ended in a 0-0 draw.


Everton v Wolves

Nothing else needed to be said. Stick to Arteta, Cahill, Pienaar as Wolves is AWFUL playing away.


Stoke v Tottenham

Stoke will definitely be defensive at home in this game. But Tottenham's left flank is the most convincing and notably good with Bale and Assou-Ekotto playing there. Robbie Keane ($5.5) might be a good cheap pick as Defoe is ruled as doubtful due to injury sustained in midweek.


WBA vs Sunderland

I feel a high scoring game will happen in this match. Dorrans and Bent are good picks. Fine assists might come from some 'cold door' players like Henderson and Dorrans himself.


West Ham v Bolton

West Ham might need some time to pick-up under Avram Grant. Martin Petrov might be a good speedy winger that might terrorize West Ham weak left link and defences.


Wigan v Chelsea

Seriously do I need to say for this match?


Newcastle v Aston

Carroll has cause some aerial problems for MU defences last week. If he is lucky enough, he might bag in a goal for Toons. Albrighton and Young will be Aston's hot pick for flank players after the departure of Milner to MC.


Fulham v MU

Yawn, Mark Hughes need some time to pick up with his unfamiliar squad left by Roy Hodgson. MU shall win this game if everything goes well. Berbatov is looking great. Rooney NEEDS TO BREAK HIS GOAL DRAUGHT AS... he last scored a goal back in MARCH 2010!!!
