Saturday's Premier League Preview

The Premier League is back after a break due to the Euro qualifiers. Saturday does see some interesting match ups in store for viewers.
Everton vs Manchester United- United playing away from home, will be bolstered by the return of Christiano Ronaldo after suspensionand Wayne Rooney from injury. Everton are sitting pretty near the top of the table and have looked good this season. A 2-1 win for United.
Liverpool vs Portsmouth- Liverpool playing away, will look to secure all three points. They have been in top form and are strong contenders for the title this year. 3-0 to Liverpool.
Tottenham vs Arsenal- The Spurs who have started this season pathetically will be hoping to salvage pride against rivals Arsenal. Arsenal have 10 points with a game in hand. 1-1 draw.
Birmingham City vs Bolton- Bolton should come away with all three points at City. 0-2 to Bolton.
Sunderland vs Reading- Sunderland after their stunning opening round win have not had a good run and will be hoping to get something from this game. 1-1 draw.
West Ham vs Middlesbrough- Craig Bellamy has looked in minous form this season scoring regularly for the Hammers. They should pull this one off. 1-0 Hammers.
Wigan vs Fulham- Both teams to fight out for points. 2-2 draw
Chelsea vs Blackburn- The last game of the day sees Chelsea take on Blackburn. Chelsea losing their first game of the season last time would ne hoping to climb their way back to the top of the table. 2-0 Chelsea.

History In The Making? Surely Not.

Martin Jol is without star striker, Berbatov, for tomorrow's home game against nearly promoted Derby. Berbatov has been ruled out for two weeks as he boarded a plane to Munich to get a groin injury treated. Tottenham have never lost their opening three games in a season in the history of the premier league and Jol will be desperate to keep that record intact. He is most likely to start with Keane and Bent and will turn to Defoe in the second half. However I dont think Derby should trouble the Spurs at home too much and Tottenham should come through with a comfortable. victory. However, all eyes this weekend will be tuned to two mouth watering matches. The Manchester Derby kicks off on Sunday without City looking in ominous form whereas United have not got off to a  good start this season and will be without Rooney(injury) and Ronaldo(suspension). The other big match, probably the biggest is between the two heavy weights Chelsea and Liverpool. A draw is what is on the cards but I feel Liverpool will win with the home advantage. Chelsea look a bit dodgy in defence
 without Terry but Soccer is a funny, unpredictable game and we will have to just sit and wait.

Troubled Days Ahead For Jol?

The season could not have got off to a poorer start for Spurs manager Martin Jol after their 3-1 loss at home against Everton.Gardner got the lone goal for spurs whereas Stubbs,Osman and Lescott scored for the toffees. Jol must be wondering what he's doing wrong. Jol started with three strikers, Keane, Bent and Berbatov and even brought in Defoe in place of Bent in the second half but the Toffees were too strong and went to the top of the table. People have a lot of expectations from the spurs team this season and Martin Jol will have to turn things around unless he plans to be the first manager to be sacked this season
