Premier League Preview

Hello there and thank god it is Friday! Yesterday it was the Champions League draw and all the English sides should be confident of making through to the knockout stages. Jose Mourinho returns to Porto, Memphis Depay plays against PSV and while Man City and Arsenal have diificult ties against Juventus and Bayern Munich.

Here are my predictions for the upcoming games of the Premier League this weekend.

Newcastle 1-2 Arsenal - It is another big game for The Gunners after drawing a blank on Monday against Liverpool. Mertesacker and Koscielny are going to missed at the back for Arsenal but they have a good record at St James's. Newcastle will hope to get their first win of the season after getting a hard earned draw at Old Trafford last time out. Tough one to call but I think Arsenal will edge it.

Aston Villa 1 - 0 Sunderland - I have gone for a home win but only just as this game could be a draw as both sides are not scoring a lot of goals. Sunderland have to improve at the back because even though they scored 6 in midweek against Exeter, they still look woeful in defence.

Bournemouth 2 - 2 Leicester - both sides will go into this game with confidence and I think this game could be a thriller and who would have said that before the season? The Cherries will want to continue their winning streak after a fantastic victory at Upton Park last weekend, Leicester are playing some lovely football and would have been a little disappointed they didn't beat Spurs last week. lots of goals in this one.

Chelsea 3 - 1 Crystal Palace - Well Chelsea earned their first victory of the campaign against West Brom but it wasn't a fantastic performance but I think they will be a little to strong for a Palace side who are becoming a very good side to watch and I think they will score here as the Chelsea back 4 look a little edgy.

Liverpool 3 - 0 West Ham - Just what has happened at West Ham, they beat Arsenal on the opening weekend and now seem to have falling off a cliff, were pretty awful against Bournemouth and now their captain Kevin Nolan has left. Liverpool were a tad unlucky not to get all three points at The Emirates but I think they will be far to strong here.

Manchester City 3 - 0 Watford - A lot of people will say that this is going to be a cricket score but there is no pressure on Watford in this one so they can go out and have a go and I think city will still cruise to victory but The Hornets will create problems.

Stoke 2 - 0 West Brom - I don't like going against Stoke at home and I think they will win this one with ease. They have had a difficult start but this one is a nice fixture for Mark Hughes's side. West Brom could and maybe should have got something out of the game against Chelsea but think this one will be a tricky one.

Tottenham 1 - 1 Everton - I have been rather disappointed with Spurs so far this season, they can't keep leads and aren't looking to great either. A Striker must come in before the deadline to relieve the pressure on Harry Kane. Everton are a dangerous side and will create a lot of problems for the Spurs backline.

Southampton 1 - 1 Norwich - Well the wheels are slowly falling off at St Mary's after a very disappointing exit from the Europa League on Thursday. I am a massive fan of the Saints but there are only so many key players you can sell before you start feeling the struggle. The Canaries will have a go and think this will be a score draw.

Swansea 2 - 1 Manchester United  - Somehow the bookies have put massive odds on Swansea which I find strange, they are playing some brilliant football and they can go into this game with a lot of confidence. Man United were good in midweek but this Swansea side are much better than the Brugge side and will really make a lot of problems for the United back four. I think Swansea will win this and keep their good run going.

Well these are my predictions and hope you all have a lovely weekend!
