It's been a while!



Hello people, I have been massively slacking in the blogging department over the last few months but I thought I would start again. There are some big games coming up in the Premier League this weekend and I am going to be giving my predictions.





Man United 3 - 0 Bournemouth

I can only see  one winner in this one, Bournemouth are leaking goals by the bucket load and I can see them conceding a few more here. I really like The Cherries and manager Eddie Howe but they must be starting to look over the shoulders because relegation is a real possibility. Man United won the first piece of silverware last weekend with their late win against Southampton and will look to keep this good form up. They were superb for the most part of the Cup final but Southampton gave them a real game and had the goal from Gabbiadini been awarded then it may have turned out a whole lot different.


West Brom 2 - 1 Crystal Palace

There is no denying that Tony Pulis has done a superb job at The Hawthorns and the fact they are 8th in the table shows how much credit he deserves, I can see another victory for The Baggies as they play a Palace side who although got a huge win last time out are still in massive trouble. They have some very talented players but a lot of them have been truly woeful this season.



Swansea 2 - 0 Burnley


It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see that Burnley's away form is pretty poor and their home form is the reason why they probably won't go down this year. Swansea have really turned the corner since Paul Clement arrived and they were a little unlucky not to get a point at Chelsea last time out. I can see the Swans grabbing another victory against a side who's away form is a real worry.



Watford 1 - 2 Southampton


Southampton were very unlucky in the EFL Cup final last weekend, at 2 nil down I thought it was game over but they showed a lot of heart to get back to 2 a piece and if it wasn't for a poor offside call then I have no doubt they would have gone on to win that game. Manolo Gabbiadini has been superb since he joined and I fancy him to grab another goal and get the Saints back to winning ways. Watford are a strange side, they can look awesome as they did at Arsenal or terrible. 3 points to the Saints here.


Leicester 2 - 1 Hull


Just which Leicester will turn up? They were class on Monday night, everything that won them the league last season was on show, passion, commitment. Where has this been all season and why now that the manager has been sacked? I think the Foxes will get another win here and begin to look up the table rather than down.



Stoke 2 - 0 Middlesbrough


I really worry about Boro, they may not concede but they also have only scored 19 times this season and that is a huge problem, I think they may actually go down, they do play some nice football but putting the ball in the net is the most important thing. Stoke were atrocious at Spurs, don't get me wrong to lose to Spurs isn't anything to be ashamed about but to be 4 nil down at half time was awful so I expect a reaction.


Liverpool 2 - 2 Arsenal


These games always produce goals and I can see plenty here with both sides going gung ho. A draw isn't really good for either side but I can't separate them. Liverpool will be desperate to get back into some kind of form and they do seem to turn up for the big games. Arsenal can't afford to lose this game especially one Arsene Wenger who is under more pressure every week. If Arsenal can keep a clean sheet for the first half hour then it could be a positive outcome.


Tottenham 2 - 2 Everton


Another cracking fixture, Spurs are a good side and they look like the only team that if Chelsea do somehow slip up, could catch them. Both of these sides are awesome going forward so I can see plenty of goals with Lukaku, Kane, Alli, Barkley and a few others on show.


Sunderland 0 - 3 Man City


Probably the banker of the weekend with bottom club Sunderland hosting Man City, the Black Cats are in huge trouble and I can only see a very easy City win. Jermaine Defoe has to be Sunderland's only hope of a goal.


West Ham 1 - 3 Chelsea

Chelsea just keep on winning and although they lost here in the EFL Cup earlier on the season, I don't see anything other than an away win. The only thing West Ham may win is if we have similar scenes to what we saw in that cup game.


So that is it, my predictions for the weekend :)
