Four correct results and Two fully correct scores last week so not a great week. Anyway on to this week's predictions

Saturday 28^th August

Blackburn Rovers V Arsenal 12:45
No i'll either look like a genius or a fool with this one but I'm predicting a Blackburn win. Blackburn are very tough to beat at home and Arsenal are well known to "Not like it up em" and that's certainly what they will get at Blackburn. Mystic Jarv predicts a 1-0 win for Blackburn

Blackpool V Fulham 15:00
Two very different results for these two last week, Blackpool got hammered by Arsenal and Fulham drew against Man United. They might have won the game too. Blackpool have their firsat home game after 2 games away thanks to switching the first game as the ground wasn't ready. They will want to impress their fans and I think will just sneak this one. Mystic Jarv predicts a 1-0 win for Blackpool

Chelsea V Stoke City 15:00
Chelsea have started at a million miles an hour but don't expect 6-0 every week because so far they have played what is probably 2 of the 3 weakest teams in the division. Don't get me wrong +12 goal difference is impressive but after week one I expected them to get lots more goals and even mentioned that they may have double figures goal difference after last week. Stoke will be a tougher test as they are a lot more organised, I still expect Chelsea to win but it will be a lot closer than the last 2 weeks. Mystic Jarv predicts a 2-1 win for Chelsea


Tottenham Hotspur V Wigan Athletic 15:00
Wigan are terrible and if they don't improve very very quickly then they might well be effectively down by Christmas. Spurs on the other hand will be buoyed by qualifying for the group stages of the Champions League. This game will only go one way and more questions will be asked about Martinez's future. Mystic Jarv predicts a 3-0 win for Spurs

Wolverhampton Wanderers V Newcastle United 15:00
Wow was my response after seeing the Newcastle result last Sunday. For me it was the most impressive result of the season so far because this wasn't against a relegation candidate, this was against a club that last season qualified for Europe. Wolves have started well drawing away at Everton and beating Stoke at home as well as getting through to the third round of the Carling cup this week. Newcastle will be on a high and will win this one. Mystic Jarv predicts a 1-2 win for Newcastle


Manchester United V West Ham United 17:30
I have made an error people, I have arranged to be cooking a BBQ when Man United are playing on TV, Poor show I know but its too late to change now. West ham have started badly and it doesn't get any easier over the next three games with Chelsea at home then a tough trip to Stoke to follow this game. I will be amazed if West Ham get anything from this game or the next 2 and despite that only making 5 games the vultures may start circling Avram Grant, I hope he survives but its going to be a long old tough season from here for them. Man United failed to win last time out but a point at Craven Cottage is more than they got last season. Mystic Jarv predicts 3-1 to Man United and a stormer of a game as I'm not watching it.

Sunday 29^th August

Bolton Wanderers V Birmingham City 13:30
This game has draw written all over it for the two teams currently in 5^th and 6^th. Both clubs made it through the Carling cup this week and both will be not wanting to lose this game. MysticJarv predicts a 1-1 draw

Liverpool V West Bromwich Albion 15:00
It's been a tough opening for Liverpool with Arsenal ta home and Man City away in their first two games. Luckily for them it now gets a bit easier, at least for this week with the eminently beatable West Brom. Failure to pick up three points here will raise a few eyebrows and a few more questions about them getting back in Europe next season. Birmingham away and Manchester United away are the next 2 up so no points here might result in their worst start in years. Mystic Jarv predicts a 3-0 win for Liverpool

Sunderland V Manchester City 15:00
A sign of dissent emerged from Eastlands this week with Adebayor wanting out before the window shuts. It will be a test of rotation to keep even the final 25 man squad happy this season and that may be their ultimate downfall in their quest for a league title. Sunderland lost to West Brom last week which is a game they really should win if they are aiming for the top half. Mystic Jarv predicts a 3-1 win for City

Aston Villa V Everton 16:00
Last game of the weekend as there isn't a Monday game this week and it's two clubs who have started worse than they would have liked. Villa have three points from a good win against West ham but then got mauled by Newcastle. Everton lost at Blackburn which in itself is a tough place to go but failing to beat Wolves at home is a poor result for a club aiming for Europe. A cagey game awaist as both clubs need at least a point. Mystic Jarv predicts a 1-1 draw

 So there you go
