Gameweek Preview - GW 3

Blackburn v Arsenal

Since Wenger claimed that Blackburn are playing rugby instead of football, so be it!! Big Sam, emulate your last season tactic against Arsenal again if you are to take this 3 points. Fabregas may feature but Walcott will not score a hat-trick every week.


Manchester United v West Ham

Obinha has join West Ham but this will not affect anything as I expect MU to win this at Old Trafford. Rooney is the hot pick as he NEEDS to score in this easy game (as Avram Grant's West Ham is facing a bad run now in BPL) to break his goal drought! Berbatov will be another good choice as he has good form lately. By the way, do I abandoned Scholes?


Liverpool v West Brom

Gerrard and Torres again. But Gerrard is complaining a back pain. Expect Torres to get his first goal of the season in this game. First win of the season too to Roy Hodgson.


Chelsea v Stoke City

Last season Chelsea won 7-0 against Stoke at Stamford Bridge. Chelsea has scored 20 goals in the last 3 BPL games (including 8-0 hammering of Wigan on the final game last season). Do not expect another 6-0 as 3-0 is reasonable enough. Drogba and Malouda will be the obvious choice again.


Tottenham v Wigan

Bale, Lennon, Crouch may be the fit attackers as Defoe is having injury problems and will soon go under the knife that will keep him out for 1 month ++.. Captain Bale anyone? Don't try your luck on Wigan players, why??!? Because it is WIGAN...


Sunderland v ManCity

Tevez, Milner and Johnson are in my mind as they make ManCity's attacks lively. Bargain defensive stud will be Richards as he will be playing until Boateng returns. I do not expect Sunderland can hold down ManCity who are with high morale now after defeating Liverpool 3-0.


Aston v Everton

I prefer Everton to win this one to sack MacDonald away as Aston's reputation and talents deserved a better coach.. but expect Young to do some damage. Albrighton might shine in first game but will it be just mirage? Cahill, Arteta and Pienaar might gain some points too.


Wolves v Newcastle

Might be a bore game. Don't expect Carroll to score a hat-trick again. But a goal is possible for him due to his aerial ability that might break Wolves' defensive play at home.


Bolton v Birmingham

I insist to stick to Petrov and predict him to score at least an assist in this game. While Birmingham has just captured N'Zogbia, he might be contesting with Larsson in taking set pieces. Anyway, victory to Bolton I think.
