Lacky's Premier League predictions
This is a weekly service, in which I'll predict Football scores from the Barclays Premier League, this reason I'm doing this is because I believe I can do a better job than Mark "Lawro" Lawrenson does for the BBC.
Saturday 1st September 2012
West Ham Vs. Fulham
K.O 12:45
West Ham picked up a win against Aston Villa in the opening day of the season, but lost heavily to Swansea in Wales. Fulham have started the season quite positive with a 5-0 win against Chris Hughton's Norwich City, and unfortunately lost 3-2 at Old Trafford. Following the sale of Dembele from Fulham to Tottenham a player who was no doubt their best. Fulham are vulnerable.
I predict. 1-1
Wrong result.
Swansea Vs. Sunderland
K.O 15:00
Swansea have started the season magnificently, winning 5-0 away to QPR on the opening day of the season, only to be followed by a impressive 3-0 home win against newly promoted West Ham. Michu has been in good form for Swansea already bagging 3 goals. Sunderland on the other hand have recently invested heavily after a 0-0 draw against Arsenal bringing in the signings of Adam Johnson & Steven Fletcher. For a rumoured 10 million & 14 million respectively.
I predict 2-1
Correct score, wrong team
Tottenham Hotspur Vs. Norwich City
K.O 15:00
Andre Villas Boas' start to his Tottenham managerial career hasn't started as well as he had hoped for with a opening day defeat to Newcastle 2-1 followed by a 1-1 draw at home to West Brom who scored in added time, Tottenham recently signed Dembele from Fulham a player which I believe will be the key factor in this game. Chris Hughton will be bringing his Norwich side to Tottenham, a club he played for 13 years. Norwich haven't started well, losing 5-0 to Fulham on the opening day, then a 1-1 draw against also struggling club Queens Park Rangers.
I predict 3-1
Wrong result, Wrong team
West Brom Vs. Everton
K.O 15:00
West Brom have started the season fantastically for a team of their stature. Winning against Liverpool and drawing against Tottenham at White Hart Lane leaves Steve Clarke's team sitting in 4th position. Everton on the other hand have started the season magnificently picking up a 1-0 against Manchester United, and a 3-1 away win at bottom of the league club Aston Villa. Marouane Fellaini has been Everton's star player so far this season with 2 goals from 2 games, and seem's to be pulling the strings from Midfield, and look's unplayable at the moment.
I predict 1-2
Wrong result, Wrong team
Wigan Vs. Stoke City
K.O 15:00
Wigan have started the season well despite losing 2-0 on the opening day of the season to a very strong Chelsea side, by winning 2-0 themselves against Premier League new boys Southampton. Stoke on the other hand have started the season pretty stable picking up two draws from two games against Reading and Arsenal. Tony Pulis look's to strengthen his Stoke City team will the additions of Thomas Huddlestone and Maurice Edu.
I predict 1-1
Correct result, wrong score.
Manchester City Vs Queen Park Rangers K.O 17:30
Manchester City host Queens Park Rangers in Saturdays late Premier League kick-off. Mancini will be hoping his team can bounce back following the 2-2 draw against Liverpool in last weeks fixture. QPR started the season with a 5-0 loss. Followed by a 1-1 draw with fellow struggles Norwich. QPR boss Mark Hughes is looking to strengthen his team with the possible deals of R.Carvalho, Michael Dawson, and Julio Cesar. Neither of the three have joined QPR yet.
I predict 3-0
Sunday 2nd September 2012
Liverpool Vs Arsenal
K.O 13:30
Liverpool host Arsenal in Sundays opening fixture, The reds will be hoping to pick up the Victory from a current Arsenal side which just can't seem to score. It's rumoured that Nuri Sahin will be given his Liverpool debut after signing a season long loan. The Gunners will also be looking for the win after drawing their opening two Premier League fixtures.
I predict 1-1
Newcastle United vs Aston Villa
16:00
Newcastle will be hoping to get back to winning ways after the 2-0 loss to Chelsea in last weeks fixtures, whilst Aston Villa will be hoping to pick up the first points of the season, as Paul Lambert embarks on his debut season as Aston Villa manger. Villa lost 1-0 to West Ham, and 1-3 to Everton in the opening games.
I predict 2-0
Southampton vs Manchester United
K.O 16:00
Premier League new boys Southampton host Manchester United at Saint Mary's in Sundays tea-time kick-off. Southampton started this season leading at Manchester City but ending up losing 3-2, the following week they lost at home to last season's struggler's Wigan Athletic. Manchester United will be without Striker Wayne Rooney after he suffered a leg injury in the game against Fulham so Summer signing Robin Van Persie will be starting up front.
I predict 0-4
