In EPL it’s never over till it’s over, and it could very well be over if Chelsea win this fixture, so I’m discounting this option here and now.
 
Both sides have been on a relatively excellent run, but I’ll admit the Blues have been more impressive in their respective 2 games played after the international break, [...]

To be totally honest, I doubt even the managers of the two can put predict the outcome of this one with any degree of confidence.
 
Spurs rewrote history to speak- in their emphatic 9-1 win over Wigan last weekend. That was new record for them as well as the 2nd highest score line in the history [...]

If this game was played two months ago I would have probably sold my house and placed the money on Gijon to win. That’s how bad Villarreal started their season.
 
But a month ago, the Yellow Submarines shrugged off their bad form and started to rack up the points. 3 La Liga wins, 1 in the [...]

I fancy a draw on this one. It’s about time Man Utd got one on the road, and besides 3-0-3 isn’t exactly the form of a Champion on their travels. Not in EPL anyways.
 
United drew at home to CSKA and lost away to direct competitors; Chelsea just  before the international break. They won at home [...]

On Wednesday I tipped Fulham to win at home over Blackburn, and they did. Once again I’m backing the Cottagers to produce their 3rd home win in a row (all competitions), or their 4th in EPL.
 
Fulham enjoy a really mean defense at home grounds. Only Chelsea, Arsenal and Birmingham managed to concede less at home [...]

Blackburn received a smack down on the head last Wednesday when they conceded 3 without reply at the Craven Cottage, but that’s nothing new to the team with weakest defense on the road in EPL. At least that was the case until Wigan’s net hosted 9 goals vs Spurs at the Lane last weekend.
 
Rovers are [...]

Obviously the derby of Genoa is even more heated by the fact both sides are playing for the European seats, and seem to be doing well so far.
 
It maybe best to forget about the home/away forms of these two, as they share the Stadio Luigi Ferraris (in the same manner Inter and AC Milan share [...]

I really can’t see past the away win here, and I am even surprised to see such high odds for Schalke to win.
 
First of all, Schalke are undefeated in 9 consecutive games. I know undefeated does not necessarily mean they can win, but the fact is they are 6-3-0 from their last 9 games in [...]

The boss of Swedish football has unleashed a blistering attack on Thierry Henry following his call to have the now infamous World Cup play off replayed.
Speaking to Aftonbladet the Swedish newspaper about Henry’s replay request Sweden’s Football Association chairman Ake Lagrell said
“That’s nonsense and total bulls*** and Henry knows it,” he told Aftonbladet.
“It would [...]

Although Lorient drew 1-1 at home to Grenoble last season, they managed to win 3-1 away at Grenoble later on in the same season.
 
This season, the two have already met once at Lorient with the home side winning by the odd goal (1-0). That was a League Cup fixture though that took Lorient to the [...]
