So at this point, if my scores are correct, I am +2. But as football is a guessing game half the time I am sure that will quickly change. We have a full schedule of games ahead of us this weekend. And although a couple games in gives a bit of an idea what teams will be like, it will take another couple weeks to start spotting trends. Two losses in a row isn't so bad, and two wins doesn't mean so much either (Tottenham) but once you get three or four under your belt we can start to see which teams are lacking and which are surprisingly strong. In other words, this weekend and the next will begin to show some patterns, and getting out of a spiral of losses in a row is incredibly difficult. With all that said certain teams that look certain for relegation in December will stay up and others that are safely mid table will go down by seasons end. In other words, anything can happen, which is why this game is so exciting to watch and follow. Below are my weekends picks. A tie will have to occur at some point soon (Birmingham/Stoke just looks like a painfully boring draw).
Arsenal- Portsmouth: Arsenal win
Birmingham- Stoke: Draw
Hull- Bolton: Bolton win
Man City- Wolves: Man City Win
Sunderland- Blackburn: Sunderland Win
Wigan- Man U: Man U Win
West Ham- Tottenham: Tottenham Win
Burnley- Everton: Everton Win
Fulham- Chelsea: Chelsea Win
Liverpool- Aston Villa: Liverpool Win
The big teams should all walk away with points. Man U will have a strong showing after days of the hairdryer from Fergie. Liverpool at home is too much for Aston Villa so early in the season. Tottenham are on form and West Ham will be good but have yet to really click as much as Hotspurs yet. Everton will get some form back. Hull will continue to lose at home. Arsenal will walk away with it. Chelsea will just slip by with a win. Sunderland will prove too strong with their new look team against Blackburn, and Birmingham and Stoke will be one of the most boring games of the season. You heard it here first.
