Chelsea v Liverpool
Liverpool boss Rafael Benitez must have gave a big groan when he saw the fixture pile-up from hell arriving so early on in the season. He has had to contend with a Merseyside derby followed by a Champions League game against PSV and now a match with the champions. We can be sure of Gerrard starting with the lanky Crouch partnering Fowler but even the return of the 2 England internationals can not see the reds stopping Chelsea repeating last year's result and possibly more.
Schevchenko is looking better and better and a brace of goals will surely be added to his name. (3-0)
Manchester United v Arsenal
The other clash of the titans will be staged 200 miles from Stamford Bridge, where the gunners will be looking for their first league win of the season. But the 1999 Champions League winners are looking invincible at the moment and Ronaldo and Rooney will be too much for the travellers. United are without the wingmen of Giggs and Park but the ommission of Henry and van Persie will be much more telling for Wenger's team. Arsenal have not beaten United in their last 8 league encounters and surely this will stretch to 9 with Manu continuing their 100% record. (2-0)
Blackburn v Manchester City
City should make it a clean sweep for the Manchesters this Sunday and beat Rovers comprehensively. Hamann should be making his debut for the club and Blackburn's extra midweek game will prove to be a factor in them staying on 2 points come the final whistle. (0-3)
Tottenham v Fulham
A London derby and difficult to call. Fulham had a great result against Newcastle in their previous game and will do just enough to edge out a draw. (1-1)
West Ham v Newcastle
The hammers will see their midweek fortunes reversed against a weak looking Newcastle side. I still can not see where the goals will be coming from until Martins gets his shooting boots on and will not be surprised to see the two Argentinians of Tevez and Mascherano helping West Ham give the visitors a real hiding. (3-1)
Bet of the day
Go for a treble, home wins for West Ham, Chelsea and Manchester United. Odds of 21/5 with Ladbrokes. ( 10 pound bet wins 52.25 )
Predictions
Blackburn 0 - 3 Manchester City (4-2)
Chelsea 3 - 0 Liverpool (1-0)
Manchester United 2 - 0 Arsenal (0-1)
Tottenham 1- 1 Fulham (0-0)
West Ham 3 - 1 Newcastle (0-2)
