Blackburn vs Man Utd
Shooter : There's plenty of spice in this one as Ince takes on his former 'Gaffer' Sir Alex at Ewood - but with United six points behind the leaders and started to move through the gears, I think they'll overpower a Rovers outfit who look stronger on the road than on home turf. 0-2 for me
Prediction : Away Win    Actual Result : Away Win
Looter : Ewood Park is not the happiest hunting ground for United with Sir Alex's side only boasting two wins since the turn of the Century. And make no mistake, Paul Ince will be desperate to get his troops fired up for this one as he goes head to head with his old boss. Goals are usually tight so I think the two sides will play out a 1-1 draw.
Prediction : Draw    Actual Result : Away Win
Sunderland vs Arsenal
Shooter : The Gunners may have been stunned by a Tigers feat at The Emirates, but Wenger's youngsters seem to relish playing away from home more, perhaps as there are not such great expectations. They've won two out of three on the road, and I think they'll tame Keane's Cats who have already lost two out of three at the Stadium of Light. 1-3
Prediction : Away Win    Actual Result : Draw
Looter : The Gunners boast an awesome record on Wearside having scored seven unanswered goals, not to mention three straight wins, on their last three visits. Roy Keane is building a solid side at the Stadium of Light but Arsenal will just have too much guile and should just about claim the win. 1-2
Prediction : Away Win    Actual Result : Draw
West Brom vs Fulham
Shooter : The Hawthorns will be packed to the rafters, the Baggies are buoyant after winning at Boro and Fulham are missing the banned Andy Johnson, all of which point to a home win. Problem is Albion tend to choke on great expectations, and Gera will be busting a gut to score against his former employers. I fancy a 1-1 draw.
Prediction : Draw    Actual Result : Home Win
Looter : You don't mess with Zoltan is not quite the name of Ben Stiller's latest movie, but the Baggies will be well aware of the threat posed by their former star Zoltan Gera. The Cottagers were beaten by West Ham last time out, so will be eager for a rapid recovery - and what better place to get it at a West Brom side, whose lack of goal threat will really haunt them this season. 0-2
Prediction : Away Win    Actual Result : Home Win
Wigan Ath vs Middlesbro'
Shooter : You must've been living in a cave if the name Amr Zaki means nothing to you. He's the Premier League's leading scorer and alongside Heskey proves a handful in the Latics' attack. Wigan were too slick for City, and now face a Boro team who have lost 3/3 on the road so far and were de-bagged by Albion last weekend. 2-0
Prediction : Home Win    Actual Result : Away Win
Looter : There's a lot of attention on Wigan these days and none more so than impressive frontman Amr Zaki, who has rightfully been nicknamed The Juggernaut given his all-action style and barrel-chested approach. But Boro have enough about them this term to be regular party poopers and are more than capable of leaving The JJB with a hard-earned point. I have a feeling this one won't be pretty. 1-1
Prediction : Draw    Actual Result : Away Win
Everton vs Newcastle
Shooter : The crisis-torn Toon have finally got a manager at the helm, problem is it's Joe Kinnear, who has not been in football for 4 years. The Toffees came unstuck in the Merseyside derby, but Messrs Arteta, Cahill and Yakubu will be licking their lips over this game. 3-0
Prediction : Home Win    Actual Result : Draw
Looter : There's more doom and gloom on Tyneside right now than on Wall Street, and the recent appointment of Joe Kinnear still has many supporters scratching their heads. But like or not, Kinnear is a good appointment and should at least bring a bit of organisation and direction to a team that, let's face it, can only get better. The nucleus of their side remains solid, and with Everton themselves in scratchy form, I'm backing the Magpies to claim an unlikely three point haul with Michael Owen the man to do the damage. 1-3
Prediction : Away Win    Actual Result : Draw
Tottenham vs Hull City
Shooter : Hull have had a whole week to bask in the glory of their historic win at Arsenal, while rockbottom Spurs come into this on the back of midweek Euro action. The Tigers also won at Newcastle and are unbeaten on the road, but I've just got a sneaky feeling Spurs will finally open their home account with all three points. 2-1
Prediction : Home Win    Actual Result : Away Win
Looter : The Tigers roared to arguably the result of the season at The Emirates last week, yet inspite of all that, few would give them much chance of a repeat success at the team at the bottom of the league. Games are running out for Juande Ramos, but I think the players might show a bit of fight, and although I'm not sure they'll win, they could register a point in an entertaining 2-2 draw.
Prediction : Draw    Actual Result : Away Win
West Ham vs Bolton
Shooter : Trotters fans be warned, it's gonna be a long old season. Bolton dodged the bullet last term, but I think they'll be relegated this season and will slip to a fourth away defeat in four this weekend. Teams replicate their managers, and Zola has made a flair-filled flying start to life as Irons gaffer with his troops having won 3/3 at Upton Park. 3-0 for me
Prediction : Home Win    Actual Result : Away Win
Looter : It's been a fine start for the Hammers under Zola's stewardship, picking up maximum points in their first two Prem matches. Bolton represent a very different challenge this time around and the onus will be on West Ham to attack from the off. But Bolton, with Johan Elmander back to fitness and looking to pay off a chunk of his £10m fee, look good value to snatch a win. 0-1
Prediction : Away Win    Actual Result : Away Win
Man City vs Liverpool
Shooter : City's bubble was burst somewhat by defeat at Wigan, where their attacking talents were outmuscled and denied any space. They'll have more freedom at Eastlands, but the Reds look the real deal this season and have an in-form Torres in their armoury. I reckon 2-2
Prediction : Draw    Actual Result : Away Win
Looter : City might have Britain's costliest player on board in Robinho, but the lack of bite in their midfield really caught them short at Wigan last week. And if Liverpool follow suit with their own hustle-and-harrie tactics, I think they'll do enough to edge to a win. 1-2
Prediction : Away Win    Actual Result : Away Win
Portsmouth vs Stoke City
Shooter : The Potters' early-season optimism has now lost its edge, though they perfomed heroics getting a draw at Anfield. Pompey, however, have a bit more guile in their home ranks, which is needed to unlock a tight Stoke defence, and both Defoe and Crouch are up and running now. It'll be tight but I'm going for a 2-1 home win.
Prediction : Home Win    Actual Result : Home Win
Looter : If you examine the possession count of Stoke's last two games, it'll probably amount to less than 20%, but they were playing Liverpool and Chelsea. They'll face a very different test at Portsmouth, but the Potters' main threat comes from set pieces - and I think Sol Campbell and Sylvan Distin will mop them up all day long. Add that to the pace of Defoe up front, and I think Stoke will fall flat - and painfully so - on the south coast. 3-0
Prediction : Home Win    Actual Result : Home Win
Sheff Utd vs Bristol City
Shooter : The Robins, last season's surprise package, are in the play-offs shake-up again and have won 2/4 on the road so far - but Bramall Lane is a tough place to get anything from, with the Blades unbeaten on home turf in the league. I reckon a hard-fought 1-1 draw.
Prediction : Draw    Actual Result : Home Win
Looter : The one thing you need to win promotion from this division is strike options aplenty, and with the returning Beattie adding to Henderson and Sharp, the Blades certainly have that. Bristol City dug deep for a midweek point at home to Plymouth, but their away form is a little less uncertain and I'm opting for a tight home win here. 2-1
Prediction : Home Win    Actual Result : Home Win
