Congratulation to Liverpool as they beaten Chelsea 2-0 which made the headline in last weekend (other than Arsenal's loss at home to Newcastle which was one of the top headline too)
Since this is a midweek game, I will cut the preview short and simple.
1) Manchester's derby:
MC: Tevez is back. Silva and Milner is not on hot form, but not in dip form either. With Mancini's defensive approach, this might be hard for ManUtd to score with their current squad.
MU: Without Nani, United's offence are weak. Let's assume Berbatov is back (which is a doubt), he will be leading the attack with Hernandez and Park Ji-Sung. I don't think they can make it through MC's defences easily.
Will be a low-scoring game, perhaps, a narrow MC win. Look out for Tevez who loves to score against his old club.
2) Chelsea vs Fulham
Chelsea will not suffer back to back defeat in the BPL, at least under Ancelotti. Drogba is reported to be suffering with malaria but this will not keep him out from this game. Anelka, Malouda will be the usual studs to lead the attack. Essien might return but Lampard is still out, so Drogba will still be taking penalty and free-kicks. Perhaps a 2-0 win for Chelsea?
3) Wigan vs Liverpool
If Liverpool can bring on their momentum from the previous 3 back-to-back wins in the BPL to this game, I can see no reason for Liverpool to not win this one, with Torres on-hot-form. Kuyt has returned and Meireles played extremely well too in the right midfield.
Let's say another 2-0 win for Liverpool?
4) Tottenham vs Sunderland
Bent is out and will not face his ex-club. So Gyan will lead Sunderland's attack. But Sunderland's pretty weak at away, a narrow win for Tottenham perhaps?
Bale, Modric played quite well and even Hutton participated alot in attacks. I might get it wrong but it seems Pavluychenko will be the one taking penalty if he does play.
5) Newcastle vs Blackburn
Three back-to-back wins for Newcastle as well, the win against Arsenal was totally unexpected and it proved Hughton really has some quality. But he is still not awarded a new contract.
Anyway, back to the game, Blackburn will make it hard again for Newcastle as I think Big Sam will play some hard-ass defending again. But Carroll does sure want to impress as he is called up for the England team by Capello. Hope he does not injured himself while trying to impress Fabio Capello.
So, what about Newcastle to continue their momentum to win this game? The other 2 Englishmen looked good too. Nolan and Barton.
6) Aston Villa vs Blackpool
Aston were so close to an away win last week after being denied by Hangeland in the last kick in the injury-time. Too bad.
However, Aston will do their best to win this one. Albrighton played so well and Ashley Young is still menacing from the flank.
What about 3-1 to Aston Villa? Cool?
7) Everton vs Bolton
Cahill and Arteta again to win this for Everton.
Bolton's Davies and Elmander are on-form but Goodison Park is not a place for them to score for fun.
8) Stoke City vs Birmingham
I can see a boring draw coming. Or a narrow win for Stoke City is possible.
9) West Ham vs West Brom
Avram Grant was so close to win his first away game for West Ham last weekend, so this will possibly be his second win for West Ham United. Go Obinna and Piquionne!
10) Wolves vs Arsenal
Arsenal disappointed many FPL managers last weekend fantasy wise, as all the hot studs scored like 1 or 2 points maximum.
Wolves played quite well this season at home, so Arsenal can expect a tough match but I believe they can pull something out to make this into a victory to compensate their fans over the embarassing defeat to Newcastle at the Emirates Stadium 2 days ago.
