This weekend's Premier League: Predictions.

I have decided to do my own predictions for any important upcoming matches: I was not far off this week when I predicted a 4-1 for Barcelona against Ajax with a hat-trick from Messi (end score was 4-0 with a hat-trick from Messi) and a 2-1 win for Arsenal over Marseille with goals from Ramsey and Wilshere  (end score was 2-1 to Arsenal with a goal from Walcott and a goal from Ramsey) and so I thought I'd try my hand at it again.

Norwich vs. Aston Villa 
Norwich were dominated by the Spurs last weekend, but retain an unbeaten record at their home grounds of Carrow Road. Hopefully they will maintain this against Aston Villa, however, Christian Benteke has proven to be a class player with solid consistency since the start of the season. Aston Villa's only points in the league have come from away games, on the other hand, so will this be the case against Norwich this Saturday?

Prediction: 2-1 to Aston Villa.

Liverpool vs. Southampton
Liverpool remain at the top of the Premier League and obtained a perfect start to the season. Daniel Sturridge has scored in all 4 of their matches this season and it is possible that this will continue this weekend. Southampton have only lost one of their 4 games so far, but Liverpool have a home advantage.

Prediction: 3-0 to Liverpool.

Newcastle United vs. Hull City
Newcastle have won their last two league matches, and Hatem Ben Arfa has proven to be the key player in their recent successes. It seems that Hull struggle to secure victory when away from home but have come up against difficult opposition including Chelsea and Man City. Newcastle could get a home win, which will put them ahead in the table.

Prediction: 2-1 to Newcastle.

West Bromwich Albion vs. Sunderland
Sunderland visit West Brom this Saturday and are the only team sitting below them in the overall standings. West Brom have had a poor start to the season, losing both their matches at home and only scoring one goal in four games. Sunderland may also struggle for victory but will need to make some changes for them to abandon their place at 20th in the League.

Prediction: 1-0 to West Brom.

West Ham vs. Everton
West Ham's performance has been encouraging, only losing one of the four league matches. However, Everton boast wins in all four of their opening league matches.

Prediction: 2-1 to Everton

Chelsea vs. Fulham
Chelsea's unexpected loss to Basel FC has raised concern for Blues supporters and will need to turn their performance around to remain at the top of the table. Their collapse on Wednesday may lead to Fulham taking advantage, especially after their positive start to the season.

Prediction: 2-0 to Chelsea.


I will write again tomorrow with the actual results and how right or wrong I was.
