West Brom looks a much-improved side despite them going down 4-0 to Chelsea in midweek. But Birmingham has to get their act together fast. So I fancy them to grab a draw at the Hawthorns.
W.B.A. 2-2 Birmingham (3-2 to Birmingham So close to getting it right!)
Milan Baros will be eager to show what Rafael Benitez is missing if he is given the debut by David O'Leary at Villa Park. So I fancy him and Philips to grab winning goals against the suspension plagued Blackburn side.
Aston Villa 2-1 Blackburn (1-0 to Villa. Baros indeed scored the only goal)
Everton continues to look solid at the back. Nigel Martyn continues to impress even at the age of 39. Fulham badly looks a improvement soon. So I will go for a draw. But this game could go either side's way.
Fulham 1-1 Everton (1-0 to Fulham. So in the end it went Fulham's way)
Man City looks a tough nut to cracked under Psycho boss Stuart Pearce. Portsmouth will look to Lua-Lua again to provide the goals. Their highly talented Columbian Viafara is still struggling to cope with the pace of EPL. Joey Barton has returned to the side after that ugly incident in Thailand and has been impressive and leading by example over the last 3 games. I am looking at Andy Cole again to inspire The Blues to another victory.
Man City 2-0 Portsmouth (2-1 to Man City. Cole indeed scored the winning goal to take Man City to second place in the table! Viafara proved me wrong by impressing with his first goal of the season.)
I think both Charlton and Tottenham, who are flying high now, will finally succumbed to the pressure of maintaing those impressive runs of theirs. Chelsea continue to be hitting the kind of form that made them champion last season. Although I hope Chelsea will "CHUI", I don't see even a much-improved Tottenham giving them too many problem. But I hope Tottenham will prove me wrong!
Tottenham 0-2 Chelsea (Yes! I got it right for this one!)
You are looking at 2 teams who are struggling to score goals here. Both are newly promoted teams and will be eagerly looking to out-wit each other at the JJB. I am going for a Henri Camara goal to give Wigan just the edge here.
Wigan 1-0 Sunderland (Yes! I got it right for this too!)
Jaaskelainen of Bolton always seem to concede goals whenever he played. Although he kept a clean sheet in midweek, it was achieved playing against the goal-shy Magpies. With Jaidi injured and Pederson having to play out of position at left back, I therefore predict that West Ham will win, but not before The Wanderers giving them a tough fight. Benayoun will most likely give Pederson a torrid time on West Ham' right midfield. I will like to see Reo-Coker scoring another thunderous shot.
West Ham 3-2 Bolton (1-2 to Bolton)

Middlesbrough looked impressive when they crushed Birmingham 3-0 away. Viduka seems to be finding his goal scoring touch again and I fancy he to score goals against the red-hot Addicks. I am also looking forward to Danny Murphy curling another of his spectacular freekick over Schwarzer.
Middlesbrough 2-1 Charlton (3-0 to Charlton. Unbelievable!!)
The Red Devils looks impressive so far and I see them condemning Newcaslte to their third defeat of the season. Van Nistelrooy and Rooney should be among the goal scorers. Newcaslte's barren spell in front of goal sets to continue...Alberto Luque will provide good crosses to Shearer but Newcaslte needs a goal scorer. Sad to see Luque in a Newcaslte's jersey... Just what is Deportivo and Luque thinking? Real Madrid made a bid for Luque earlier in the season and it should actually benefit Luque better and enhance his chances of getting into Spain's World Cup squad (I hope Spain qualify!)
Newcastle 0-2 Man U (All right! The 2nd correct 2-0 scoreline! Me even got the goal scorers right! Haha.. To bad me not a betting person.)
