Blackburn VS Manchester United
Chelsea VS Aston Villa
Sunderland VS Arsenal
Manchester City VS Liverpool
Everton VS Newcastle
Manchester United will be trying to close the gap on Chelsea when they face off with Blackburn.Although Blackburn is fresher compared to Manchester United,Man United have a higher chance of winning even though they had injuries to Scholes and Rooney,who might be replaced by Anderson and Tevez who are more than able to replace them.My Prediction:2-0 to United
Chelsea got a goalless draw against CFR Cluj in the Champions League and have a total of 8 players in the medical room.They are Drogba,Terry Carvalho,Deco,Essien,Cole,Alex and Joe Cole as reported in The New Paper On Friday.As they have a thin squad,i do not think that Chelsea is the favourites to win the match.Aston Villa will go into this match in a high after proceeding to the next round of the UEFA Cup.Without Deco,Chelsea's creativity will be crippled as shown in the past few matches.My Prediction:1-1
Which Arsenal will show up at the Stadium of Light on Saturday,the inconsistent Arsenal or the rampaging Arsenal will thrashed Porto and Sheffield United 4-0 and 6-0 respectively.However they managed to win Porto 4-0 but lost to Hull City last weekend.The team is strong enough to defeat Sunderland but they have a quality striker Dijibril Cisse who is able to put the ball in the net.My Prediction:2-1 to Arsenal
Manchester City will face off with Liverpool with both teams comming off wins in mid-week.However Liverpool's Robbie Keane broke his goalscoring duck against PSV and he will be looking to get more as his partnership with Torres continue will Gerrard Get his 101th goal or will Robinho get another goal to mark a remarkable start to his life in England.My Prediction:2-1 to Liverpool
The last match features two teams in crisis.Newcastle is second last while Everton is 14th.However,Everton just crashed out of the UEFA Cup in mid-week and Newcastle is having a horrid run after Kevin Keegan's shock departure.Will Owen save Newcastle or will Yakabu propel Everton to victory.My Prediction:2-1 to Everton
