Liverpool v. Middlesbrough
No chance for Gareth Southgate's boys to go into Anfield and come out with a point. I like Liverpool to win, and win big. Time to prove that money on Robbie Keane was well spent. Liverpool 3- Middlesbrough 0
Newcastle v. Bolton
Newcastle shocked the world last week pulling a point out of Old Trafford. They played well in the game, too, it was a deserving point. I think the guys are buying into King Kev's philosophies, and the buys he made were solid. Bolton still stinks.
Newcastle 2- Bolton 1
The Esteemed Kevin Keegan
Stoke v. Aston Villa
Stoke's loss last week to Bolton was just the beginning of a long miserable season. Villa are trying to prove that they are the cream of the non-big-four crop. Bet on a full-strength Villa side. Stoke 1-Aston Villa 3
Tottenham v. Sunderland
Hmmm, really interesting matchup. Sunderland proved to be pretty tough to score against at home against Liverpool last week. Spurs struggled to do anything at the Riverside, and came home emptyhanded. Tottenham doesn't want to be left with one point out of their first two matches, so look for Juande to pull out all the stops.
Tottenham 2-Sunderland 0
West Brom v. Everton
If you're a bettor, I'd steer clear of this game. We don't know which team is going to show up for either side. David Moyes is having a desperately difficult time finding people to fill the ranks at Everton, and West Brom aren't quite Barcelona 06. For sanity's sake, let's say a draw. West Brom 1-Everton 1
Blackburn v. Hull
Paul Ince's triumphant return home, with three points in hand from Goodison Park. Well done for Ince's boys, and well done on Hull's part to take down Fulham at home last week. The celebration ends this week for the Tigers, but they may have more fight in them than I first pegged. Blackburn 2- Hull 0
Fulham v. Arsenal
I'm know scientist, but when you lose to Hull, I wouldn't count on beating Arsenal. Fulham need to shape up, and this isn't the type of match that helps you do that. If anything they'll be in worse shape come Monday. Fulham 1- Arsenal 2
Wigan v. Chelsea
Brazil FC, I'm sorry, Chelsea FC storm the JJB boasting the best opening weekend in the Premiership. Wigan lost away to West Ham last weekend. While I don't think Chelsea will be as dominant as they were last week, I'm still expecting 3 points to the Blues. Wigan 0- Chelsea 2
Chelsea's Blue Army Rolls On
Manchester City v. West Ham
As long as City are having problems paying the bills, I have a problem picking them to win matches. The situation has grown worse by the day, yet somehow they were able to add Vincent Kompany to the squad this week. West Ham impressed me at home against Wigan, but that in itself isn't that impressive. City 2- West Ham 2
Portsmouth v. Manchester United
Historically, the big clubs have trouble when they go down to Pompey. It's a tough place to play, and the team is a scrappy group. Portsmouth shocked me last week with the drubbing they took at the hands of Chelsea. United, devastated by injury, still looked ok. I like United to take full points back home with them.
Manchester United 2-Portsmouth 1
