Predictions – Premier League – Week 21

9th / 11th January

Bassong challenges Toress

After a bed ridden week with a ridiculous fever, the coughing up of much lung butter and almost little to no action on the site, I’m back in almost full health to bring in the first full week of predictions for the new year… that’s if the chill engulfing Europe at the moment doesn’t postpone a bunch of matches again. (As I write this, three matches have been called off)
Never the less, in amongst the cold, the African Cup of Nations (kicking off on the 10th Jan) and new signings for any team that can afford to pay their players on time, this weekend throws at us a bunch of matches that are poised to deliver a few upsets.
match of the round will by far be Tottenham’s trip to Anfield against a Liverpool team who seem to have a little momentum propelling them at the moment and who are desperate to replace the Lillywhites in at fourth spot. Can it happen? Potentially. Will it happen though? Long story short, no… and this is how I picked the rest of ‘em.

I predict:
Hull City 1 v 2 Chelsea
Arsenal 4 v 1 Everton
Burnley – v – Stoke City
Fulham – v – Portsmouth
Sunderland – v – Bolton
Wigan 1 v 2 Aston Villa
Birmingham 1 v 1 Man Utd
West Ham 2 v 0 Wolves
Liverpool 2 v 2 Tottenham
Man City 3 v 1 Blackburn
