Манчестер Ю - Ньюкасл 2-1
Ставлю на то что Алардайс вмучает минимальное поражение
Owen Hargreaves is a doubt for Manchester United's Old Trafford clash with Newcastle on Saturday.
The England midfielder sustained a rib injury in training on Thursday and Sir Alex Ferguson will leave the decision on Hargreaves' fitness as late as possible.
Louis Saha should recover from a minor knock but Gary Neville will not be considered as a replacement for suspended defender Wes Brown, even though the United captain began his comeback from a long-standing ankle problem in the reserves at Everton on Wednesday.
Caretaker Newcastle boss Nigel Pearson has a few decisions to make.
The Magpies are awaiting news of striker Obafemi Martins, who could be allowed to return from Nigeria's African Nations Cup training camp for the game.
Stephen Carr (hamstring) could figure in the squad after playing for the reserves in midweek, while Emre (ankle) and James Milner (illness), who missed the FA Cup tie at Stoke last weekend, are available once again.
With Habib Beye and Abdoulaye Faye away with Senegal and Geremi with Cameroon, youngsters Kazenga LuaLua and Andy Carroll could be included again.
Teams
Manchester Utd (from): Van der Sar, Kuszczak, O'Shea, Simpson, Ferdinand, Pique, Vidic, Evra, Fletcher, Nani, Park, Ronaldo, Anderson, Carrick, Hargreaves, Giggs, Rooney, Saha, Tevez.

Прогноз : фора 2 (+2) 1.6 пусть играют
Мидлсборо - Ливерпуль 1-2
Ливерпуль в прошлом году в Мидлсборо как то не очень охотно играл ... специально так было сделано или просто так получилось уже никто и не помнит . Наверное тяжело будет Ливеру на выезде , но игра Мидлсборо меня мягко сказать не впечатляет . Думаю что многие возьмут сегодня +1 , но я как не странно это слышать болею за Ливер сегодня
Middlesbrough boss Gareth Southgate must reshuffle his midfield for the Premier League clash with Liverpool, with Julio Arca and Lee Cattermole ruled out through suspension.
Southgate will bring back Gary O'Neil who missed the FA Cup win over Bristol City, while George Boateng is also set to figure despite his recent difference of opinion with the Boro boss.
Egyptian striker Mido is still one week away from full fitness while Jonathan Woodgate (hamstring) and Tuncay Sanli (knee) remain doubts and Andrew Taylor is still out.
Defender Daniel Agger's hopes of making a dramatic return to Liverpool's side were almost certainly dashed when the weather postponed his comeback in the reserves last night.
The Denmark centre-back was scheduled to play Blackburn at Morecambe's Christie Park ground. But a waterlogged pitch prevented the match going ahead, and manager Rafael Benitez is unlikely to pick him just yet after four months out with a broken foot.
Agger, who must wait until January 22 for the next reserve fixture, said: "I am almost there - but, of course, I am going to need some playing time.
"Running around on the training ground is not the same as doing it on the pitch - but I am almost back to full fitness now.
Daniel Agger returns to the Liverpool squad for the first time since he broke a metatarsal bone in September.
The Danish defender saw a reserve run-out against Blackburn on Thursday washed out, but boss Rafael Benitez is convinced the centre-back is ready for a comeback.
Alvaro Arbeloa, Jose Reina, Steven Gerrard and Fernando Torres - who all missed the FA Cup draw at Luton - will also return.
Benitez will take new Ј6.5million defender Martin Skrtel to the Riverside, but the Slovakia international - whose transfer from Zenit St Petersburg was confirmed on Friday - is unlikely to be involved.
Teams:
Middlesbrough (from): Schwarzer, Turnbull, Young, Woodgate, Wheater, Pogatetz, Huth, Riggott, O'Neil, Boateng, Rochemback, Johnson, Downing, Tuncay, Lee, Hutchinson, Grounds.
Liverpool (from): Reina, Arbeloa, Finnan, Carragher, Agger, Hyypia, Riise, Pennant, Gerrard, Alonso, Mascherano, Babel, Lucas, Voronin, Kuyt, Torres, Crouch, Benayoun, Kewell, Skrtel, Itandje.
Прогноз : тотал больше 2.0 1.55
Арсенал - Бирмингем : 3-0
Арсенал шо то каким то фаворитом дали в этом матче . 1.18 в премьерлиге на победу это наглость . Нет , ну арсенал на ходу сейчас , но в Англии просто так никто не сдаётся . Ну ладно , пусть о исходе этого матча думают любители экспрессов ,а я подумаю что возможно тут будут голы . И если не 2-0 то тотал больше 2.5 должен проходить . Я надеюсь на это .
Premier League leaders Arsenal will have defender Philippe Senderos (knee) available for Saturday's clash with Birmingham at the Emirates Stadium.

Forward Robin van Persie (flu) is sidelined, while Emmanuel Eboue, Kolo Toure and Alexandre Song are all away on international duty at the African Nations Cup.

Прогноз : Арсенал больше 2.0 , Тотал больше 2.5 1.65
Эвертон - Манчестер Сити 2-0
Не люблю игру горожан хоть ты тресни . Не понимаю как они со своей игрой так высоко забрались .... Наверное благодаря тому что обмениваются со всеми домашними победами . А может по Лобановскому 3 очка дома и 1 в гостях ? Кто его знает .... Тактика и игра Сити меня мягко сказать раздражает . Эвертон в свою очередь дома бьется из-зо всех сил и со всеми соперниками , но иногда они же страдают из-за своей настойчивости получив гол на первых же минутах . Думаю Эвертон не проиграет сегодня
Elano is poised to return for Manchester City as they head to Goodison Park for the Barclays Premier League match with Everton.

Michael Johnson (abdominal strain) is the only absentee for Sven-Goran Eriksson's men, with full-back Michael Ball returning to Everton for the first time since his departure for Rangers in 2001.
Everton will welcome back key midfielder Mikel Arteta from suspension.
The Spaniard has completed a three-match ban for his sending off against Arsenal and could be joined in the squad by Manuel Fernandes if the Portugal star completes the formalities of his loan move from Valencia.

Прогноз : фора 1 (0) 1.5 , есть соблазн поставить обе забьют , но из принципа не буду потому что я желаю Сити поражения . Хотя может до матча еще передумаю и возьму что то типа тотал больше 2.0 или обе забьют . Возможно удаление
Астон Вилла - Ридинк 2-0

Вест Хем - Фулхем 2-0 2-1 1-2
В прошлом году эти вде замечательные команды договорились не выигрывать друг у друга . Не красиво будет если они и в этот раз сыграют в ничью .... сразу все моймут что дело не чисто .
Я тут грешным делом подумал ... а может обмен выездными победами ? Ну типа 1-2 и 0-1 . Правда красиво бы было ? Поэтому не буду трогать ставки на исход ,а проверю тоталы .
