Burnley v Sunderland
Burnley have been good at home, picking up full points off both United and Everton, while Sunderland have shown themselves capable, but their away record is yet to materialise after only two games so it’s difficult to know how this will pan out, Burnley may hold out, or Sunderland could run rampant, I’m going to hedge on this being the first draw of the season for both sides
Lawro: 2-1
Tarquin: 1-1
Arsenal v Wigan
Arsenal may be a little tired after their European exploits but I expect them to have enough in the tank to deal with a visit from Wigan
Lawro: 2-0
T: 2-0
Aston Villa v Portsmouth
Villa may not be the best at home but I fully expect them to deal with Portsmouth, who surprisingly managed two actual goals at home to Bolton last week – but that was at home to Bolton, Pompey simply don’t have the quality to bring any sort of threat to teams like Villa – that defence is so leaky I think you should give the ball to Agbonlahor from a goal-kick and see if he can walk it in
Lawro: 2-0
T: 3-0
Bolton v Stoke
Bolton have been little fighters of late, nearly shocking Anfield and putting three past Pompey last week, Stoke tend to sit back when they travel, so if there is a goal it’ll probably be a scrappy Bolton one
L: 1-1
T: 1-0
Hull v Birmingham
Oh god, predicting Hull is never easy – and I have virtually no form to go on here, Birmingham have generally done pretty well in their two away defeats (United and Spurs) Hull meanwhile were thrashed by Spurs and just beat Bolton at home, I would venture this will be pretty tight, I would favour Hull, but I think a nil-nil
L; 1-0
T: 0-0
West Ham v Liverpool
Liverpool shouldn’t have too much pressure on them, what with their season now over and all…, but seriously – I don’t think West Ham will put up much, and if Liverpool get any sort of rhythm going they should score a few, they could be fatigued and it’ll be really dull, but I think Liverpool are slight favourites here
L: 1-1
T: 0-1
Manchester United v Manchester City
Ah…the only one we’re all interested in, how will the pretenders to the throne handle the champions? In all honesty I think they’ll do it well – United still have a lot of talent, but are against a bit more talent who are playing slightly better right now, but this could all turn on the head of a pin, and City will be missing their major threat in Adebayor so it's a very good time for United to play them, and it’s Old Trafford, so I’m going for a home win
L: 2-1
T: 2-1
Wolves v Fulham
Another tricky one, Wolves haven’t had much to work with at home, drawing with Hull, and they’ve only managed three goals out of five games, but then Fulham aren’t much on the road, as usual – I think it’s safe to say this won’t be high-scoring, Wolves the favourite
L: 2-1
T:0-0
Everton v Blackburn
Are Everton back on track? That is the question, and what better time to test that out than with a home game against Blackburn? I don’t expect much excitement, but one would hope the Toffees can create a chance or two
L: 2-1
T: 2-0
Chelsea v Tottenham
Ah, a good old London derby between the two top teams from the capital – this could be interesting, I’ve got to say I favour Chelsea in this – they’re at home and look fairly unbeatable but Tottenham will probably bring something, probably in the shape of a small pair of legs who sounds a bit like a deceased member of the Beatles
L:2-1
T: 2-1
