Week 24 Predictions

Last week, I got 5 results right and 2 perfect scores. This week,

Aston Villa 1-1 Newcastle
QPR 0-2 Man City
Stoke 2-0 Wigan
Sunderland 1-1 Swansea
Arsenal 2-1 Liverpool
Everton 1-0 West Brom
Norwich 1-1 Tottenham
Fulham 2-1 West Ham
Reading 1-1 Chelsea

Man Utd 3-0 Southampton

Manchester United dropped two points against Spurs last week when they conceded a late equalizer. Other than that, their defense seems to have greatly improved of late. At home, they have won 8 straight games now.

The Saints sacked manager Nigel Adkins last week, a decision that shocked many, given his contribution to the club. It may take some time for the new manager to settle in and get his ideas across. This may hurt them in the short-term.

I expect an easy United win.

Week 3 Predictions

Last week, I got 4 results right but no perfect score. This week,


West Ham 2-2 Fulham
Swansea 2-0 Sunderland
Tottenham 2-1 Norwich
West Brom 1-1 Everton
Wigan 2-1 Stoke
Man City 3-0 QPR
Liverpool 3-1 Arsenal
Newcastle 2-0 Aston Villa
Southampton 0-2 Man Utd

Man United returned to winning ways with a less than convincing home win against Fulham. Their defense is leaky, and they still lack that cutting edge in midfield. Worse news though is the fact that Wayne Rooney is out for two months with a leg injury. On the bright side, Johnny Evans returns to the side and should start.

Southampton have had a bad start to their season, losing both games so far. And playing another Manchester club in quick succession will certainly not help. I am predicting them to go down this season, despite having had a great run in the Championship last season.

Man United should secure the win comfortably.
