Tottenham win seems favourable
Verdict: 2-0
Tarquin: 2-0

Sunderland haven't won since...Arsenal, strangely enough, I think Blackburn will come out on top between these two middling sides
and I'm sorry - no prolific goalscorer? Darren Bent - 11 league goals from half the season, fourth placed goalscorer (Drogba joint with Defoe and Rooney on 13) - dear god, Lawro, you'll be writing off Andy Johnson next...
Verdict: 2-1
Tarquin: 1-0

It's been an awful December for Chelsea - but great for the neutral, unfortunately for Fulham I think Chelsea will be just too strong - a pity, as Drogba and co. will be off barely a day later - should be a fun January at Stamford Bridge after this last hurrah
Verdict: 2-1
Tarquin: 2-0

A rare win for Everton is surely on the cards, or is it a rarer away win for Burnley? The former, probably
Verdict: 2-0
Tarquin: 2-0

Birmingham are surely tiring - but with Stoke's defence severely depleted and both sides coming off the gruelling Christmas congestion I think Birmingham could hold onto their current league crown of longest undefeated run, the good news is Birmingham got to the magic number of 28 points by Christmas, so they are guaranteed survival
Verdict: 2-1
Tarquin: 1-1

Mancini couldn't have got it much better than Stoke at home followed by Wolves away, unless he got Blackburn at home after... oh wait...
Talk about being eased in - but no away game is truly easy, and City need sorting out on the road, Wolves could prove a test - but frankly, if they don't win, I'd sack him, based on the club's appointment criteria
Verdict: 1-1
Tarquin: 1-2
TUESDAY

Lawro thinks this is a 'nailed-on draw' - one) there's no such thing, and two) he very rarely gets draws right (see: none of the six first-half 'big 4' clashes have been a draw this season) - I'm backing a draw, because it could go either way...
I guess if we're right, we won't know who's right - suppose I don't want to win then...
Verdict: 1-1
Tarquin: 1-1

I think Bolton will come out on top here, they got a reprieve last week while Hull are on match number three in just over a week, and of course, Bolton are the better side - Hull's two away points don't inspire me
Verdict: 2-1
Tarquin: 2-0
WEDNESDAY

I've gone for three - but I may come to regret that as Arsenal aren't the best travellers and if the midfield maestro is missing this could be difficult, oh well
Verdict: 0-2
Tarquin: 0-3
 |
This is a no-brainer - though I do have to worry about United's reliance on Rooney, as seen against Hull, of all people - it can't last, still - Wigan, at OT, never happening
Verdict: 2-0
Tarquin: 2-0
