Arsenal v Portsmouth (1400)

At the moment we are not sure what we are going to get with Arsenal - there's half an hour of pure blissful football and half an hour of abject panic.

Portsmouth are having a torrid time in the league, conceding lots of goals and not scoring many. It will be interesting with Pompey boss Tony Adams going back to his former club, but it will not be a happy afternoon for him.

Verdict: 2-0

Blackburn v Man City (1615)

Another interesting one with Manchester City manager Mark Hughes going back to his former club and on the back of an impressive win against Hull. Stephen Ireland impressed massively in that game.

Blackburn have tightened up at the back since Sam Allardyce took over and have had two clean sheets, but I've a feeling this could be a north-west thriller.

Verdict: 2-2

Bolton v Wigan (1400)

Bolton didn't show up at Anfield, but they have a habit of beating teams in and around them and I think this will continue on Sunday.

Wigan have won four of their last five league games (all at home) and comfortably beat Newcastle on Friday - they have amassed over 50 points in the calendar year which is testament to how good a job Steve Bruce is doing.

Verdict: 2-1

Everton v Sunderland (1400)

Everton have won seven times away from Goodison Park, but have only won once at home this season. They continue to have a lack of forward power.

Sunderland have looked a different team, and are better defensively under Ricky Sbragia, who has just been appointed as permanent manager.

Verdict: 1-1

Fulham v Chelsea (1400)

Fulham are looking good defensively but they are not scoring many at the other end.

We all know Chelsea's away form is exceptional and Didier Drogba should be paired with Nicolas Anelka again as they complemented each other in the 2-0 win over West Brom.

Verdict: 0-2

Newcastle v Liverpool (1200)

They may have one or two injury problems, but Newcastle were, to put it politely, ordinary in the Boxing Day defeat at Wigan.

Liverpool are miserly at the back and Robbie Keane has started to get his confidence back after scoring twice in the 3-0 stroll over Bolton. I can't see past an away win.

Verdict: 0-2

West Brom v Tottenham (1400)

I'm sure West Brom boss Tony Mowbray had one eye on this game, thinking it the more winnable of the two, when he selected his team for the Chelsea game, so it will be interesting to see his changes.

Tottenham have gone off the boil a bit in recent weeks and have been struggling to score.

Verdict: 1-1

West Ham v Stoke (1400)

West Ham had the result of the day on Boxing Day, especially when you consider the predicament they are in and I reckon they will follow it up with a home win.

Stoke's away form has been as poor as West Ham's home form in recent weeks and it looks set to continue at Upton Park.

Verdict: 2-0

MONDAY

Man Utd v Middlesbrough (2000)

It was a gritty win for Manchester United at Stoke on Boxing Day, but they will be over their jetlag after by the time Middlesbrough visit Old Trafford.

Boro don't know where their next goal is coming from, never mind their next point and it won't come on Monday night.

Verdict: 3-0

TUESDAY

Hull v Aston Villa (2000)

I would love to know the reaction of Hull's players after what boss Phil Brown did to them at half-time in the 5-1 defeat at Manchester City. He should have got them in the dressing-room and it will be interesting to see how they perform on Tuesday.

Aston Villa had a great comeback to draw with Arsenal, but they could and should have been 4-0 up at half-time in that game. They are set up to play counter-attacking football in the absence of John Carew and this should suit at the KC Stadium.

Verdict: 1-2
