January 29, 2010 Predictions

Wigan Athletic play Everton at the DW Stadium, 30 January 2010, 3pm.
Everton are in good form without winning away since the start of November (against West Ham).  Wigan are all over the place, capable of great results and shockingly bad ones.  Most notably is their propensity for falling to pieces against the best teams, however [...]

January 29, 2010 Predictions

Liverpool play Bolton Wanderers at Anfield, 30 January 2010, 3pm.
Liverpool.  The least consistent team in the league and showing little sign of changing that yet still, no one would bet against Liverpool beating Bolton at home.  Of course we’d really want to!
In all likelihood though, with Steven Gerrard coming back to fitness they should have [...]

Hull City play Wolverhampton Wanderers at the KC Stadium, 30 January 2010, 3pm.
Basement battles are always tough to predict but given the Premier Leagues propensity for attack over caution, they often result in goals.

Fulham v Aston Villa, 3pm, January 30, 2010

January 29, 2010 Predictions

Fulham play Aston Villa at Craven Cottage, 30 January 2010, 3pm.
Strong at home plays strong away but there are signs that the former is on the wane.  Villa are struggling to score but are a team designed to soak up pressure and hit on the break.  Against a team like Fulham who attack at home, [...]
