Saturday, 19 December 2009:

Portsmouth v Liverpool
Aston Villa v Stoke
Blackburn v Tottenham
Fulham v Man Utd
Man City v Sunderland
Arsenal v Hull

Sunday, 20 December 2009:

Wolverhampton v Burnley
Everton v Birmingham
West Ham v Chelsea

Monday, 21 December 2009:

Wigan v Bolton

Plenty of important matches as we near the halfway mark of the season. Chelsea should be too strong for West Ham, but we haven't been in the best of form of late. It's important we put in a good performance and regain some much needed form heading into 2010. In other matches I'm tipping - Liverpool, Villa, Draw, Man Utd, Man City, Arsenal, Draw, Draw.

Predicted Chelsea XI:

Cech
Ivanovic - Carvalho - Terry - A Cole
Mikel
Deco - Lampard
J Cole
Anelka - Drogba

Chelsea team news

Didier Drogba is fit again and set to return to the Chelsea team against West Ham at Upton Park on Sunday.

The Ivory Coast international has recovered from the back injury which kept him out of the side that beat Portsmouth 2-1 at Stamford Bridge on Wednesday night.

Yep looks like it. I think we should beat hull at home, even without Cesc.

Predicted Arsenal team:

Almunia
Sagna - Gallas - Vermaelan - Silvestre
Denilson - Song - Diaby
Walcott - Nasri
Arshavin

Arshavin and Theo will tear up Hull.
3-0

pretty strong side considering Fabby and RVP are out.

I meant to have it as Walcott and Nasri on opposite wings and Arshavin in the middle but i couldn't get it to go like that in the post for some reason.

We should beat Hull tonight. For some reason I dont like them at all haha, must be that muppet of a manager theyve got Laughing

Arsenal 3-1 Hull

Arshavin x2, Theo/Eduardo

i don't like them because we lost and drew with them last year Evil or Very Mad

and the muppet manager Razz

Legend Posts: 10316 Age: 22 Location: Brisssyyyyyy

We beat them at their joint and in the FA Cup. But yes we did lose to them haha.

4 games to pick from tonight at 2am AEDT -
Aston Villa v Stoke
Blackburn v Tottenham
Fulham v Man Utd
Man City v Sunderland

I will personally be watching the United game, I feel Fulham can pull something off. Go Fulham!
City v Sunderland could be pretty good as well

Guru Posts: 1123 Age: 23 Location: Melbourne

I'll probably be watching Aston Villa/Stoke, and hoping Villa unleash hell.

Legend Posts: 10071 Location: Adelaide

Man U are extremely vulnerable tonight, Vidic is now out which is a massive blow for them, his replacement is a guy called De laet. Haven't heard much about him b4, Carrick is also at CB which is amazing really, also Fletcher at RB again. I think personally Fulham will win this 3-1 mainly because United are depleted at the back.

Legend Posts: 10316 Age: 22 Location: Brisssyyyyyy

If Fulham win it will be by a single goal id reckon. United may be depleted but they are still United. Old Purple Nose knows what hes doing as well.

Id love for it to be 3-1 Fulham haha but I dont think so

Yeah i sure would love for it to be. Your right, it is United and even if they are depleted they still manage to never be beaten by more than 1 goal.

wow what a match at city of manchester stadium 2-2 already.

Legend Posts: 10071 Location: Adelaide

Fulham hit the lead through Danny Murphy, Man City and Sunderland are tied at 2-2, might be a lot of goals in that game

3-2 now

This is insane already 5 goals in 43 mins. If it continues in the second half it could be an absolute goal fest.

Legend Posts: 10316 Age: 22 Location: Brisssyyyyyy

Fulham hold onto a very much deserved 1-0 lead at HT. Theyve played some wonderful football at times, United have had no answer to it. Purple Nose wont be happy lol, I expect a much better performance by United in the second half coz if it carries on like this Fulham will score again.

Other HT scores:
Villa 0-0 Stoke
Rovers 0-1 Spurs
City 3-2 Sunderland

On that City game - every time I checked scores there was another goal scored. Amazing stuff Laughing
