Surprising Results



The last couple of weeks brought some surprises in Premier League: Stoke winning at White Hart Lane, Wolves taking a point back home from Goodison Park, Chelsea's two away losses to Aston Villa and Wigan and Liverpool's impressive performance in their home match with Manchester United.
That was quite a long intro, won’t you say? The reason for me to do so what to practically get you ready for this statement: “I have no idea how this weekend's fixtures will end!!!”. Fulham host Liverpool, Portsmouth seeking their 2nd win at home against the unpredictable Wigan Athletic, Everton looking for a win against Aston Villa in order to narrow the 6 points gap between them, and London's derby between Arsenal and Tottenham can go either way. No easy matches on the line. In fact, there are no easy matches in the Premiership this season…
Still, let’s focus on the Arsenal – Tottenham match.
Arsenal are coming to the derby in a good form, winning 4 out of their last 5 matches. Tottenham, on the other hand, have gained only 4 points out of 9 from their last 3 matches, which put their great start to the season in perspective…
BetUknow's community sees Arsenal as the derby winners. What do you think ?

3 Interesting Matches



After a short break, the Premier League is back with a lot of top action in this weekend’s fixtures.
Chelsea travels to Villa Park on a mission to keep the gap between it and Manchester United, as the red devils play at home against Bolton.
Liverpool is playing away against a high-flying Sunderland squad who’s enjoying a great start to the season. Liverpool must win in order to keep the championship hopes alive as a 9 points gap could sabotage their chances of winning the title, even at such an early stage of the season. This match also features the league’s current top goal scorer Fernando Torres (8 goals) and the person right on his tail, Darren Bent (7), in a battle to find the net.
Another interesting match this round is between Tottenham and Portsmouth. Pompey lost 7 of their first 8 matches, if they continue with their current form they will see themselves in the same position at the end of the season (a championship spot). It would be interesting to see whether Avram Grant, former Chelsea manager and Pompey's new director of football, will be able to put them back on track.
