Sunderland v Tottenham
What a Win for Martin Oniell's Sunderland against Manchester City, they have now won three of their last four games, i always knew Martin Oniell would turn things around for the Black Cats, but they come up against a very convicing Tottenham.They Controled Villa from the first to the end winning very comfortably. this will be a very tight game, considering the amount of strength Sunderland put up on Boxing day, and Spurs travel to the stadium of light. i will go for a share in spoils.
Prediction: Sunderland 1 Tottenham 1
Aston Villa v Wigan
Another game that has a draw written all over it, although i will personally go for a Villa Win. Aston Villa have let in 12 goals in 2 games and they look like they are in a mess, but they are a young side and that is why they are incosistent. Wigan for me have been unlucky in their previous matches, for example, they should have got a penalty at Everton and at home to Arsenal and they dont play that badly but Aston Villa should be very strong at Villa Park
Prediction: Aston Villa 2 Wigan 0
Fulham v Swansea
Fulham are on a bad run but when it comes to Craven Cottage, they are absolutely hard to crack, Swansea will be without top striker Michu who picked up an injury against Reading, this should make a huge difference. Fulham should win this comfortably.
Prediction: Fulham 3 Swansea 1
Man Utd v West Brom
I dont realy know how to talk about Manchester United, they play like Champions although there are two weaknesses in Sir Alex Ferguson's team, one is the goalkeeping position, am sure Sir Alex is pondering a serious move to solve the crisis there. Two, Defensively, they are just not doing it for me and some teams have learnt about these weaknesses. West Brom are a complete side that hasnt been given enough credit, but it is a huge task to ask of anything from them at Old trafford and i will take the risk considering United was seriously taken out energy wise against Newcastle and West Brom have confidence after a briliant win at QPR.
Prediction: Man Utd 1 West Brom 1
Norwich v Man City
Iam already feeling for Norwich, not that they are not a good side, but City have to come back to winning ways and they can be very devastating when they are the mood to win. They will be in the mood to win at carrow road.
Prediction: Norwich 0 Man City 3
Reading v West Ham
Reading finally got a point at Swansea on Boxing day after seven defeats in a row, that should help their confidence, but as i say week in, week out, they just dont have the strength in a team to cope with the Premier League. West Ham on the other hand has had a couple of days rest due to the postponed game against Arsenal, this should do them some good! The Hammers should be able to play out a narrow win.
Prediction: Reading 1 West Ham 2
Stoke v Southampton
Stoke played like a final against Liverpool, i was so impressed with their performance, i believe they should tear Southampton apart if they can repeat that performance and the Saints are not very good travelers.
Prediction: Stoke 2 Southampton 0
Arsenal v Newcastle
Arsenal are looking for a third win in a row and certainly that should bring back all lost confidence, and if the Gunners know they are playing well, they will be a very hard team to write off. Ofcourse they had a day off on Boxing day and Newcastle played Boxing day madness with Manchester United. The Newcastle squad i suspect can not contain two very hard and exhousstive games in a row. That is why i believe Arsene Wenger's Arsenal should run away winners.
Prediction: Arsenal 4 Newcastle 1

Andrew's Premier League Predictions
Wigan v Arsenal
Arsenal has already had a great week and a win at Wigan will be the icing on the cake. Jack Wilshere, Aaron Ramsey have commited their future to the Gunners and the win at Reading was the best display we had seen from Arsenal in a long time. Wigan on the other hand have won only one in the last seven games. i dont see them getting anything from this game.
Prediction: 0 - 4
Man City v Reading
Carlos Tevez and Sergio Aguero both starting is a huge worry for Reading because they will run riot. Reading just doesnt have the quality or team depth of the Premier league. the ease at which Arsenal desposed them off is something that should worry Royal's manager Brian McDermott.
Prediction: 3 - 0
Newcastle v QPR
Newcastle has a team with quality players but most of them are out of form or injured which is the reason for their poor form. QPR made a master stroke decision to fire Mark Hughes early on. Harry Redknapp is still unbeaten but this should be a hard game for him.
Prediction: 1-1
Southampton v Sunderland
Both these clubs have alot of problems, no wonder both are just above the relagation zone. Southampton has had enough rest due to the postponed game with Chelsea but they should play a battering poor draw with the black cats. Martin Oniell seems to be putting up a strong comeback.
Prediction: 0-0
Tottenham v Stoke
Stoke is a great team but play very poorly away from home. Spurs boss Andre Villas Boas seems to have understood that Emmanuel Adebayor and Jermaine Defoe play really good together. I will go for a narrow spurs win.
Prediction: 1-0
West Brom v Norwich
West Brom look to be on a slide, just one point in four games. Norwich seem to be doing alot right. These two teams have alot in common, actually, i think they are both happy with the points tally so far, but i have a feeling Norwich will sneak away with the points.
Prediction: 1-3
West Ham v Everton
The difference between an Everton with Marroune Fellaini and Everton without Fellaini is winning mentality. Fellaini will be greatly missed and West Ham will play to that advantage
Prediction: 2-0
Liverpool v Fulham
Liverpool was a good run until Aston Villa Shocked them, but Fulham is very different from Villa, Away from home they are very poor and Brendan Rodgers will be itching to come back to winning ways, Liverpool will win easily.
Prediction: 3-0

Andrew's Premiership Predictions
Arsenal v Tottenham
This is a crucial north london derby where both teams need to recover some kind of form. In this fixture the last time, Tottenham let a 2-0 lead slip to a 5-2 loss.
Arsenal might be on a down at the moment, but they still have Arsene Wenger as manager and they are playing at the Emirates, another factor is Spurs is really leaking defense wise.
They lost to both chelsea and Manchester City because of the defense, it is going to be a very physical game, but an intresting one, i will go for an Arsenal win, bse of Wenger's experience in these Derbies and the fact that their new talisman Jack Wilshire is back in the team.
Arsenal 3 Tottenham 1
Liverpool v Wigan
Liverpool has a thin squad, and it is even worse that most players were involved in friendlies, it may be a good thing for Wigan, who won at Anfield last season, but having said that, Wigan are very unpredictable, i mean, how do you explain, wining at spurs and then losing to West Brom.
Wigan is going to cause alot of problems for Liverpool today, that is why i will go for a conservative draw
Liverpool 1 Wigan 1
Manchester City v Aston Villa
I feel sorry for Paul Lambert's Villa after last week's dramatic loss to Manchester United and they meet United's city rivals who are still unbeaten in the league this season. City got a very important win at Spurs last weekend, which could have made them more confident after their European troubles.
Aston Villa just doesnt have the strength, experience and tactics to beat Manchester City, i actually think they will be reaped apart this saturday.
Manchester City 4 Aston Villa 0
Newcastle v Swansea
Swansea are not a very good away side having got only 4 points this season on their travels, they come to Newcastle which needs a win badly having been battered by West Ham. Newcastle cant seem to put a good run in place, they are a shadow of the team they had last season.
Newcastle 1 Swansea 1
QPR v Southampton
QPR Manager, Mark Hughes has to win this one to keep his job, the pressure on him is increasingly too much, but his southampton colleague, Nigel Adkins is also desparate for a win. I see QPR wining for the firsat time this season in this one simply because Hughes knows more of the premier league and they are playing at home
QPR 2 Southampton 0
Reading v Everton
Everton keeps suprising me every week, last week they were absolutely good against Sunderland, they deserve to be fourth in the premier league, they are travelling to reading, a side that needs a first league win desparately, it will be a tense game, but however much Everton is playing well at the moment, they wont get all three points
Reading 1 Everton 1
West Brom v Chelsea
Many think this could be a straight foward game for Chelsea but i foresee a huge test for the Blues, West Brom are in the top half of the table because they have been playing so well at home and Steve clarke was coach of the blues for a long time. Teams in the league have learnt to keep Oscar, Hazard and Mata out of the game and Chelsea is finished.
Liverpool did it last week and it worked, But Chealse will be too strong for the baggies
West Brom 0 Chelsea 1
Norwich v Manchester United
United look unstoppable and the come back at Villa was impressive, i think this is down to the fight for places in the striking department, but Norwich knows how to play against United, last season, Ryan Giggs had to score a late, late winner to secure victory and at Old trafford, though they lost 2-0, they still played well.
This will be a very intresting game and i will go for a high scoring draw.
Norwich 2 Manchester United 2

Andrew's Champions League Preview and Predictions
Shalke v Arsenal
High flying Shalke meet Arsenal at the back of a disappointing loss at manchester United, Shalke beat the gunners the last time they met at the Emirates, it is going to be a classical encounter considering the winner goes top of the group with 2 games to go.
The bad news for Arsenal is Shalke has been scoring an average of 2 goals per game this season. Klass-Jan Huntelaar and Jefferson Farfan are on fire, will the gunners; average defence cope? but the Germans also let in alot of goals which could be a potential opening for the gunners. Arsenal have all kinds of problems from injuries to confidence but they should be able to pick up this important win as they always win in Germany.
Prediction: 1 - 2
Manchester city v Ajax
Failure to beat the Dutch team tonight would all but eliminate the English champions at the group stage of the champions league for the second consecutive season.
Man city are missing Micah Richards and Maicon but should be too strong for Ajax who are expected to field the same team that beat city
Prediction: 2-0
Dynamo Kiev v Porto
Porto has the inform Colombian duo of James Rodriguez and Jackson Martinez as they look to beat Kiev for the second time in 2 weeks. Martinez has scored 12 goals in 13 games this season and has made their fans forget to quickly about Hulk. Kiev currently lie 3rd in the group but go into this game after a 2-0 win at the weekend. This will be a tight game and each team will score.
Prediction: 1-1
AC Milan v Malaga
Malaga have picked up maximum points so far without conceding a goal, what a record! but they are travelling to the San Siro to face the seven time winners. Milan is looking to recover some pride, so i think they will easily beat Malaga
Prediction: 3-1
Anderlecht v Zenit
This game has alot of impact on this group because both teams occupy the bottom places in Group c and know that a win for any would give a realistic chance of qualifying. Zenit has had 5 consecutive wins and Anderlecht has picked up just one point in this competition. On paper Zenit looks the stronger even without star striker Hulk.
Prediction: 0-2
Olympiakos v Montpellier
Olympiakos stole all 3 points in the dying minutes in France. the good news is Olympiakos has lost their last 4 games against French visitors. the French champions should get something out of this game because last time around they played very well against the Greek in France.
Prediction: 1-1
PSG v Dinamo Zagreb
PSG lost in shocking fashion at the weekend but will most definately beat the struggling Croatians. Dinamo must beat PSG to have hope of qualification. Carlo Anchelloti's men will definately eliminate them.
Prediction: 3-0
Real Madrid v Borrusia Dortmund.
Dortmund haven't won away from home in the champions league for nine years. this will not change at Real. Madrid have won their last seven champions league matches at home. Dortmund has also won only once in 8 visits to spain. Madrid has a fully fit team with top scorer Ronaldo raring to go and get revenge.
Prediction: 4-1
High flying Shalke meet Arsenal at the back of a disappointing loss at manchester United, Shalke beat the gunners the last time they met at the Emirates, it is going to be a classical encounter considering the winner goes top of the group with 2 games to go.

Andrew's Premier League Predictions
Man Utd v Arsenal
It is a good time for United to face the Gunners, they may have won an epic cup tie at Reading in mid week but are struggling to find their feet and their players look like they are lacking playing co-ordination.
Great Arsenal teams have mainly been based on quick passes finding players at the right position. United on the other hand won at Chelsea in the premier league and with a clear inexperienced team lost in the Capitol One cup to the Blues.
Surely, Sir Alex Ferguson has a different team line up for the Gunners. The spot light will be on former Arsenal Striker, Robin van Persie but it will be a very difficult game for him both physically and emotionally, that is why i think United's other quartet of Strikers, Rooney, Welbeck, Hanandez and Valencia could prove the difference. United are not very good defensively and their midfield has some unanswered questions, so Arsenal will have alot of possesion, but the fact that they are playing at Old Trafford
and the amazing United attack, Arsene wenger's team will lose narrowly.
Prediction: Man Utd. 2 Arsenal 1
Fulham v Everton
The difference between Fulham and Everton is Dimitar Berbatov and Craven Cottage. If Berbatov is fit, he will cause Everton alot of problems and the best part is Manager, Martin Jol knows how to get the best out of him. Craven cottage is some kind of fortress for Fulham this season, but Everton go into this game with alot of belief having got a well deserved draw against Liverpool last week. David Moyes, for me is one of the best managers in the premier league, his only problem is his thin squad with no clear cutting edge that the top teams have. This will be a tight defensive game and i will go for a hard earned draw.
Prediction: Fulham 1 Everton 1
Norwich v Stoke
Tony Pulis trying to get his Stoke team attack minded especially away from home is costing him alot of points, on the other hand Norwich have a good run going. In the last three games, they have had increadible games against Arsenal, Aston Villa and Tottenham.
Chris Hughton has put together a wonderful team with attack at the back of their minds, i also love the confidence he has instilled in players, Stoke too have confidence and belief and i believe they have game changing players, so i will go for a Stoke narrow away win.
Prediction: Norwich 0 Stoke 1
Sunderland v Aston Villa
This is the first time i have seen Martin Oniell look under pressure, his Sunderland side just cant seem to create chances or more score, can you believe only Stephen Fletcher has scored for the black cats in the premier league this season? That is a worrying situation for Sunderland.Aston Villa have their own problems and i think a manager who is undoubtedly under pressure is Paul Lambert. This is a huge game for both teams but i think sunderland will be too strong at the Stadium of light
Prediction: Sunderland 2 Aston Villa 0
Swansea v Chelsea
Swansea had a great game against Manchester City at the Etihad stadium and then beat Former Manager Brendan Rogers'Liverpool in the Capitol One Cup, they look like a team on the rise, Chelsea on the other hand have had an eventful week and focus has been taken away from Football, which unfortunately will reflect on this game. am actually backing the Welsh team to beat the Blues.
Prediction: Swansea 2 Chelsea 1
Tottenham v Wigan
Both teams were knocked out of the Capitol one cup in mid week and look to bounce back. Wigan suprised me last week against West Ham, played very good attacking football and looked like they were playing a final, but at White hart lane, Spurs will demolish them to get back to winning ways after a disappointing loss in the Capital one Cup.
Prediction: Tottenham 3 Wigan 0
West Ham v Man. City
This should be the most boring game of the weekend, City have one hell of a week ahead of them having to beat Ajax in a crucial champions league game. they have this at the back of their minds, Mancini may even try out a few changes and rest senior players, West Ham may take advantage of this but cant beat City, they were very poor against Wigan last week and Big Sam does need a response from his players, but normal Big Sam teams just love to play it out hard, so i will go for a boring draw.
Prediction: West Ham 0 Manchester City 0
QPR v Reading
Am still astonished at how Reading let a 4-0 lead slip to Arsenal in midweek!! anyway both these teams have not won in the premier league this season but QPR has been the better side, they were unlucky to leave with nothing at the Emirates last week, so their quality could be the difference and Mark Hughes knows this could be a turn corner for him, if he beats Reading, he will move foward, if he cant beat Reading then he will be in a crisis.
Prediction: QPR 2 Reading 0
Liverpool v Newcastle
This should be an intresting tie. Liverpool had a well deserved draw at Everton and then were poor against Swansea in the Capital One Cup, incosistency and lack of senior strikers is affecting this Liverpool team and Brendan Rodgers needs to do something in January and if Luis Suarez gets injured before that, it will be trouble for the reds. Newcastle also have problems of their own, Demba Ba is rated 50:50 for this game, if he plays he will cause Liverpool all kinds of problems
Newcastle have not travelled well, but Liverpool is also not that good at home, so an over draw will suit both teams.
Prediction: Liverpool 2 Newcastle 2
West Brom v Southampton
I believe this will be the most intresting game of the weekend, both teams are under pressure to deliver, West Brom started well but have lost twice due to injury time goals, they need to win and southampton just need to win a football game, actuall Nigel Adkins may be the first premier league manager to get the sack if he doesnt win a football match and very soon. Well he wont win this particular game at the hawthorns where the Baggies are really good.
Prediction: West Brom 1 Southampton 0

Andrew's Premier League Predictions
Aston Villa v Norwich
Norwich had a very good result last weekend against Arsenal and this weekend they face their former manager Paul Lambert, who led them to two successive promotions.
Lambert and his Villa team have problems of their own, they just cant seem to score much and i keep wondering why he changed his style of play from what he used to do at Norwich. The villa owners brought him on board to do what he did at Norwich and that is create alot of chances, play an open attacking game and penetrate defense
Now he is very cautious with his play and it is costing Villa, However Villa at Villa park are not an easy task, as Norwich will find out.
Prediction: Aston Villa 2 Norwich 0
Arsenal v QPR
QPR Manager knows how to make Arsenal suffer, in his days at Blackburn, Arsenal just didnt want to face him, although this season, his QPR side seems to be giving away alot of chances, which could create a very big problem against Arsenal. The gunners have had a bad week, a loss at Norwich which i think they deserved and a loss to Shalke in Mid week which they didnt deserve. Their biggest problem at the moment is confidence and rightly said by assistant Steve Bould.
They are dying to make a comeback and recent Arsenal teams come back with bangs that is why iam fearing for QPR, if Arsenal are on song they will demolish QPR, if they are below par, then QPR will get a draw, i will go with the former.
Prediction: Arsenal 4 QPR 0
Reading v Fulham
Week in week out, i keep saying Reading is just not premier league quality. This is a game that will surely affirm this.
Having said that, Fulham are not a good away side, having won only at Wigan this season, Dimitar Barbertov is their best player for me but he also doesnt play well away from home.
This si a huge chance for Reading to pick up some valuable three points, although i will go for only one point for them
Prediction: Reading 1 Fulham 1
Stoke v Sunderland
This is a game Martin Oniell and Sunderland didnt want at the moment, considering they just cant score, can you imagine only Steven Fletcher has scored a league goal this season??
Stoke on the other hand have had all the hard fixtures you can imagine and they have gone through them with some good direct play and ofcourse more importantly picking up some points. they are at home today, as usual very hard to break down and their main striker Peter Crouch can be a handful for defenders.
I will go for a Stoke win.
Prediction: Stoke 2 Sunderland 1
Wigan v West ham
Andy Carrol and Carlton Cole both go to Wigan, to face a team for me i think is a shadow of itself. Wigan is a team that doesnt have a player who can play through the 90 minutes with urge when they are losing, for me the best player for them has been their striker Kone, he is the only one i feel can help Wigan survive, on days when he is off, Wigan will lose.
Big Sam has done a good job at West ham, i can see these days he likes the strikers to be fed the ball and he has awesome strikers, so i have a feeling Big Sam's Westham will win this tie but narrowly
Prediction: Wigan 0 West ham 1
Manchester City v Swansea
Swansea finally ended their bad run and beat Wigan last weekend but they come against a wounded City, after that embarrassing loss in Amsterdam. City has to win this game and i think they will convincingly.
I said this before and will say it again, City's problem is Roberto Machini, if he can just get a starting line up that he trusts instead of tinkering the team all the time, they would be going places. This week ofcourse he defended his decisions but i think those are excuses and am sorry he has run out them. He needs to win and for his sake i pray he starts this weekend
Prediction: Manchester City 3 Swansea 0
Everton v Liverpool
The blue side of Merseyside must be anticipating this tie with positive vibes. this is the first time in a very long time that Everton goes into this game with better statistics than Liverpool.
I was looking at the Liverpool squad and it has about 6 players that will play the Merseyside derby for the first time. David Moyes, the Everton Manager knows all about this derby and considering his game policy of counter play and heavy defense deployment can keep out Raheem Sterling, who has been very exceptional and make Marroune Fellaini play his best.
The reds have had a good week and look like Brendan Rodgers ideas have started sinking in but Everton will be a bit stronger than Liverpool
Prediction: Everton 2 Liverpool 1
Newcastle v West Brom
West Brom have had an exceptional start to the premier league season but that has mainly been at home, they lost last week to Manchester city and this week they go away to Newcastle who for me i think have the most balanced team in the premier league.
they have a good player in every area on the pitch, Collocini in defense, the industrious Ben Arfa in midfield and Demba Ba, one of the most feared strikers in the premier league.
Newcastle did well to get a point at sunderland considering they were a man down and i think they will win this tie without having to tussle
Prediction: Newcastle 2 Westbrom 0
Southampton v Tottenham Hotspurs
Spurs travel to st.Mary's after a disappointing home loss against Chelsea, i will not blame them for the loss because Chelsea outplayed them especially in Midfield, probably with Gareth Bale in the team, things would have been different. Well he is going to play against the Saints and the worry for them is they let in too many goals.
Southampton has good attacking players and play beautiful attacking football but their defense is too naive. Spurs will take advantage of this and win this game
Prediction: Southampton 1 Tottenham 3
Chelsea v Manchester United
This is arguably the biggest game this weekend. The two best teams in the league go against each other with each knowing a loss of points could prove a gateway for the other.
Chelsea have an amazing attacking quartet of Mata, Oscar, Hazard and Torres but United have the best strike force in the premier league for me, Rooney, Van Persie and Welbeck are all on fire.
This is going to be an interesting tie..so who will win it?? Chelsea have beaten Arsenal and Spurs away already and seem like no one can stop them but United loves these games and they usually do well against teams that feel they cant be stopped combined with Sir Alex Ferguson's premier league experience, i see a United win.
Prediction: Chelsea 1 Manchester United 3

Norwich had a very good result last weekend against Arsenal and this weekend they face their former manager Paul Lambert, who led them to two successive promotions.
Lambert and his Villa team have problems of their own, they just cant seem to score much and i keep wondering why he changed his style of play from what he used to do at Norwich. The villa owners brought him on board to do what he did at Norwich and that is create alot of chances, play an open attacking game and penetrate defense
Now he is very cautious with his play and it is costing Villa, However Villa at Villa park are not an easy task, as Norwich will find out.
Prediction: Aston Villa 2 Norwich 0
Arsenal v QPR
QPR Manager knows how to make Arsenal suffer, in his days at Blackburn, Arsenal just didnt want to face him, although this season, his QPR side seems to be giving away alot of chances, which could create a very big problem against Arsenal. The gunners have had a bad week, a loss at Norwich which i think they deserved and a loss to Shalke in Mid week which they didnt deserve. Their biggest problem at the moment is confidence and rightly said by assistant Steve Bould.
They are dying to make a comeback and recent Arsenal teams come back with bangs that is why iam fearing for QPR, if Arsenal are on song they will demolish QPR, if they are below par, then QPR will get a draw, i will go with the former.

Andrew's Tuesday Champions League Preview and Predictions
Shaktar Donestk v Chelsea
John Terry returns for this one since he is only serving a domestic ban of 4 matches, Both Chelsea and Shaktar have 4 points from their opening group games, this could be a decider of some tie, considering how open this group could be if Juventus win.
Shaktar, just like Chelsea are table leaders in their domestic league. This will be a high intesity match that chelsea will dominate but Tottenham may have just taken a little bit more from Chelsea energy wise and the long journey, i will go for a narrow shaktar win.
Prediction: Shaktar 1 Chelsea 0
Man Utd v Braga
Reports coming from England indicate that Rio Ferdinand and Patrice Evra will be rested by Sir Alex Ferguson to freshen up for Chelsea on Sunday, but United still have a strong squad, Ashley Young is back, Shinji Kagawa, Ryan Giggs, Tom Cleverly all didnt play against Stoke.
Braga on the other hand lost at home to Cluj and beat Galatasaray away. They are not a very easy team but United wont have a problem sweeping them aside.
Prediction: Man united 3 Braga 0
Barcelona v Celtic
This is arguably Celtic's biggest game of the season, the good news is Scott Brown, James Forrest, Georgious Samaras and Kris Commons are all in the team for Celtic, the bad news is Barcelona want to prove they are still the best team in the world, even without their 3 main defenders, Puyol, Alves and Pique.
Their attacking options are so high that we forget Barca needs a defence. This should be an intresting game to watch and i will go for Barcelona to thrash Celtic.
Prediction: Barcelona 5 Celtic 2
BATE v Valencia
Valencia has not won away from home in 5 champions league games, their away form could be a big opportunity for BATE who for me have been the best champions league team so far. They pulled off a clinical 3-1 away win at Lille and then beat an under per Bayern 3-1 at home. Six goals from 11 hits on target is an intresting fact for BATE.
However i believe Pellegrino's Valencia wont be a push over, that is why i will go for an entertaining draw.
Prediction: BATE 2 Valencia 2
FC Nordsjaelland v Juventus
FC Nordsjaelland have lost to both Chelsea and Shaktar Donestk. Juventus have drawn with both Chelsea and Shaktar. Juventus have not lost a competitive game since May 2011, but if they dont win this, they could be in big trouble. However the Danish side Nordsjaelland are looking for a first point in the champions League. i will go for a Juventus win considering their pool of players and experience in such games
Prediction: FC Nordsjaelland 1 Juventus 3
Galatasaray v CFR 1907 Cluj
Galatasaray, the Turkish title holders are bottom placed in Group H after defeats by Manchester United and Braga, to put it in more clear context, they go into this game three points behind their opponents Cluj but Galatasaray have never lost to a romanian team in the champions league. Their manager Faith terim has a bad record against Romanian sides, having even failed to beat Romania when he was Turkey coach.
He hopes his luck will change tonight, i dont think so, Cluj have won 3 times away from home this season in the champions league, they beat, FC Slovan and FC Basel in qualifying and Braga on Match day 1. They go in this game confident and knowing a win would put them in a strong position to qualify with Manchester United who we all expect to qualify.
So i will go for a boring and challenge hit draw.
Prediction: Galatasaray 0 CFR 1907 Cluj 0
Lille v Bayern Munich
Rightly said, Lille Manager Rudi Garcia said "it is a David against Goliath affair". i would rightly say Lille are going into this game with a game plan of preventing Frank Ribery from playing, Ribery looks to be back to his hey days when everyone compared him to Zinedine Zidane, he was very impressive against Spain and no matter the result of this game, he will be on top of things.
Lille have lost their last two games and know it would take a miracle to beat Bayern, but then again Miracles do happen, BATE stunned them, having said that, Muller, Kroos, Ribery and company know this a chance to redeem themselves and they will.
Prediction: Lille 1 Bayern 3
John Terry returns for this one since he is only serving a domestic ban of 4 matches, Both Chelsea and Shaktar have 4 points from their opening group games, this could be a decider of some tie, considering how open this group could be if Juventus win.

Andrew's Premiership Predictions
Tottenham v Chelsea
Could it be revenge for Andre Villas-Boas? What a way to kick off another premiership weekend. Chelsea is top of the table and spurs are on their way up. Last time the blues were in North London, they won comfortably at the Emirates, however Spurs are an attacking team and Chelsea without the inspirational John Terry could have a bad weekend. I will go for a Spurs win and sweet revenge for Villas-Boas.
Tottenham 2 – Chelsea 1
Fulham v Aston Villa
Craven cottage has become some kind of fortress for Fulham especially for mid and bottom table clubs. Paul Lambert’s Villa travels there for a long, long day. What Villa need is Darren Bent at his best because he is the only one i see doing something to the Fulham defense. Fulham has a great relationship in Dimitar Berbatov and Martin Jol. Berbatov has a hip injury but could be fit for tomorrow’s game. Fulham will win this comfortably.
Fulham 2 Aston Villa 0
Liverpool v Reading
This should be a very difficult game if Liverpool continues playing what they are playing (too much midfield play and less box play). But if they can change things and attack more, they could demolish reading. The other problem the Kop have is they lost Fabio Borini to a foot injury so that means they only have one senior striker fit, Luis Suarez until January. The Kop must fear the worst. But i see them demolishing reading.
Liverpool 4 Reading 0
Man Utd v Stoke
Stoke are a hard side to break down, they proved that at Anfield last premiership weekend but Sir. Alex’s United are also good at battling for wins. This game will be won in midfield and how good Wayne Rooney plays. He had a tough and poor game for England against Poland but should play his heart out in this one considering the striker competition at United. United have also only conceded 1 goal against Stoke at Old Trafford.
Man Utd. 2 Stoke 0
Swansea v Wigan
Roberto Martinez, now at Wigan managed Swansea, so he knows the Liberty stadium very well, Swansea started very well but fell off a bit because of win pressure. Wigan goes to Wales with a winning mind set but i will go for a Swansea win but just...
Swansea 1 Wigan 0
West Brom v Man. City
West Brom has won all their home games this season but has not met a team of City’s stature. This should be their biggest test so far. Steve Clarke has done an incredible job at the Hawthorns and the fans seem to have forgotten about Roy Hodgson already. The best thing is they are playing with confidence and have nothing to lose. Roberto Mancini is Man. City’s biggest problem this season; he tinkers a lot and doesn’t have a first 11 he trusts. This game has a draw written all over it.
West Brom 1 Man. City 1
West Ham v Southampton
Andy Carrol is back for West Ham! This is bad news for Southampton. West Ham lost to a good Arsenal side and Southampton were unlucky against Fulham, but there can only be one winner in this tie
West Ham 2 Southampton 0
Norwich v Arsenal
Arsenal had to come from behind with a Robin Van Persie double to beat Norwich at Carrow Road. Van Persie has moved on, Arsenal look to be heading in a positive direction and Norwich is heading in a negative direction. Last premiership weekend Norwich was beaten 4-1 by Chelsea at Stamford Bridge and Arsenal won at West ham. This should be an interesting game with an over score line. Giroud scored for the first time in the premiership last time, i see him score tomorrow too.
Norwich 1 Arsenal 3
Sunderland v Newcastle
Two Managers who are very good at what they do, last season they got into a touchline war but it’s over now. This derby is always fun to watch and is won on mistakes. A lot of people believe this will be a draw; however I will go for a narrow win for Newcastle. Ba and Cisse were involved in the African cup tie against Ivory Coast that ended in violence; they should put that behind tomorrow and help their team win.
Sunderland 0 Newcastle 1
QPR v Everton
Mark Hughes has had a torrid time picking his best team, this is one of the reasons his team is at the bottom of the table, it is too harsh on them but football is about picking the right team at the right time. Everton have been amazing, i can’t wait to see what they can do without the injured Maroune Fellaini. QPR should have a redemption weekend.
QPR 2 Everton 1

Violence has no place in Football Today!!
Senegal v Ivory Coast ended in blood shed, England's victory over Serbia was also marred by racism and violence. We are in an era where football technology is about to be introduced, why the violence and racism
Football is one language in the whole world, it is the only uniting factor the world has, I was one of the happiest people having heard that Didier Drogba was the only person allowed in both the North and South of Ivory coast during their war, Football can do that.... it is a destiny for many young men, it is a dream for many, it is a passion for many, we cant accept any one to sabotage that!!
I actually believe countries that have violent and racist fans should be banned for life in football matters. They are not the first to lose, i was watching an African Cup of Nations Qualifier in Kampala, Uganda. Last weekend, where Zambia scrapped through penalties to beat a determined Uganda. The Ugandan fans looked dejected after Patrick Ochan missed that last penalty, but they didn't fight the Zambians, they actually congratulated them, that is what the sport is about!!
Serbia and Senegal should not be given light punishements, we want to wipe out this disease, it is time FIFA stood firm and showed the world who is in charge.
