Here are the Premier League Fixtures for this weekend and my predictions for the results.
I have decided to make it a bit more interesting and compare my predictions with Mark Lawrenson’s predictions from the BBC website. (Thanks to soccer blog for this idea) Lawro’s predictions are the one’s in green.
Saturday 6th December
Arsenal V Wigan 15:00 (3-0) (2-0) (1-0)
Blackburn V Liverpool 15:00 (1-2) (0-2) (1-3)
Bolton V Chelsea 15:00 (0-1) (0-2) (0-2)
Fulham V Man City 12:45 (1-1) (2-1) (1-1)
Hull City V Middlesbrough 15:00 (0-0) (1-1) (2-1)
Man Utd V Sunderland 17:30 (4-0) (3-0) (1-0)
Newcastle V Stoke City 15:00 (2-2) (2-0) (2-2)
Sunday 7th December
Everton V Aston Villa 16:00 (2-1) (2-2) (2-3)
West Brom V Portsmouth 15:00 (1-0) (2-0) (1-1)
Monday 8th December
West Ham V Tottenham 20:00 (1-1) (1-2) (0-2)
So all the results are now in and I have decided to follow Monkey magazines point scoring allocation of 3 points for a perfect match, and 1 point for a correct result.
So after the first week of predictions the scores are as follows:
Myself: 10pts
Lawro: 7pts
Everton vs Villa looks a tough one to predict.
Everton don’t have Yakubu, Saha and Vaughan, so they’ll be a bit short on options upfront.
Villa, well are Villa…they are currently fifth, but have wasted quite a few opportunities to leapfrog Arsenal.

Thanks for my first comment Soccer Blog.
I think there a few tough ones to predict this weekend.
I just think Everton are due a decent result at home and with Villa not firing on all cylinders at the minute, this could be Evertons chance to turn their home fortune around.

Hi Nerdfly,
You’ll find the number of comments gradually increasing if you post a lot more.
Try and make your posts more catchy. You could also compare your results with Mark Lawrenson’s, and see who is the better one
The corresponding game last season ended 2-2.
Will have to wait and see how this one goes.
