Birmingham v Bolton
Birmingham are really down to the bare bones - they've got loads and loads of injuries - but the Carson Yeung takeover is obviously going to happen now and they are near the start of a completely different era.
Bolton have been scrapping away, and scored that late, late goal against Stoke last weekend before getting a good win over West Ham in the Carling Cup. I just wonder whether they might have turned the corner a little bit - they could edge this but it won't be a rip-roarer.
Verdict: 1-2

Blackburn v Aston Villa
One or two Blackburn players are coming back after being out for a long time - Brett Emerton and Steven Reid both started at Forest in the Carling Cup this week - so it is looking a bit brighter for them in terms of getting numbers back.
Villa, after that opening-day home defeat by Wigan, have started to pick up results without ever looking like they are playing well, which is a very good sign for them. They set up well when they are away from home too, and are always dangerous on the break.
Verdict: 1-2

Liverpool v Hull City
You can see what Hull City boss Phil Brown was trying to do in the Carling Cup when he rested his first team against Everton - but they ended up on the wrong end of a 4-0 scoreline.
When Liverpool lost their first couple of games it was all doom and gloom but they have picked up well and they just keep on winning games now. With the form Fernando Torres showed at West Ham last week, I can see them winning this one very easily.
Verdict: 3-0

Stoke v Manchester United
Stoke manager Tony Pulis was at Manchester United versus Manchester City last weekend and he also presided over Stoke's 4-3 win against Blackpool on Tuesday, so he has seen 14 goals in the last two games he's been at - I can't see another 4-3 on Saturday though.
The thing with Manchester United is that they keep getting over the line and winning no matter how well they play and that's not a surprise because that's what good teams do - they wear out the opposition over the course of 90-plus minutes, as we've seen.
But I'm going to go for a draw here because I think Stoke will make it very difficult for United to get the ball down and play. They did that at the Britannia Stadium last year and, until they had a man sent off late on, they looked good value for a draw.
Verdict: 1-1
Match preview
Tottenham v Burnley
Tottenham started really well but now they have played - and lost to - two of the top four and it's been a bit of a reality check for them. They now know they have still got quite a long way to go to get up there themselves. In saying that, they could finish, along with Man City, top of the rest of the league.
Burnley have not been good on the road, and have suffered a couple of injuries in the last week too - Martin Paterson is out for a while and so is Chris McCann, who are both players they will miss.
Tottenham have got an embarrassment of riches up front so I can't see them struggling to score goals in this one.
Verdict: 3-0
Match preview
Wigan v Chelsea
Wigan need to start putting some points on the board and this is the worst possible fixture for them to try to do that.
Chelsea just keep on winning and, while Luiz Felipe Scolari had a great start there last year before losing his way, you sense that things will be different with Carlo Ancelotti at the helm. His side move the ball quicker, they look fitter and they look very, very hungry.
Verdict: 0-2
Match preview
Fulham v Arsenal (1730 BST)
Fulham turned Arsenal over at Craven Cottage at the start of last season but there is a little bit of inconsistency creeping into their game at the moment, despite them beating Everton in their last home game.
With Arsenal, you can see the confidence building up as the season goes on and I can't see them slipping up again this time.
Verdict: 1-2

SUNDAY
Sunderland v Wolverhampton
Wolves boss Mick McCarthy did a very good job when he was in charge at Sunderland, getting them promoted to the Premier League before they got relegated.
That might sound a bit flippant but he had virtually no money to spend before they got relegated, which is something Sunderland have certainly learned from since.
Sunderland looked the better team for long periods against Burnley last week but still ended up losing so there's a slight mental problem there. For Wolves, all their forward players are beginning to get fit and McCarthy's players will know how important it is for him going back to the Stadium of Light.
Verdict: 1-1

MONDAY
Man City v West Ham
It looks like it's going to be more difficult for West Ham this season than it was last time. They've got one or two new players who are still settling in and they haven't got the deepest squad.
They've also had moments in matches where things have gone against them but they haven't suddenly become a bad team.
However, City at home and with players coming back will just be too strong for them.
Verdict: 2-0
