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
