A look at this weekend's game in the Premier League. The showcase is the North London derby where Spurs will try and end a 10-year losing streak to their biggest rivals.

 

Arsenal v. Tottenham 

Arsenal have been really good at the Emirates this season and will hope to continue that form against a Spurs side that is not playing quite as well as they did last month. Arsene Wenger has not lost to Spurs for 10 years in the league and I don’t see that streak coming to an end Saturday.

Prediction: Arsenal 4-2

 

Bolton v. Chelsea
Bolton are a much better team at home than on the road, but so is Chelsea . Chelsea play really well on the counter attack and I expect Drogba and Anelka to cause Bolton all sorts of trouble on the break. Bolton will cause Chelsea some problems at set-pieces but it will not be enough for them to win the game.

Prediction: 3-1 Chelsea

 

Burnley v. Hull

Burnley have picked up 12 points at home this season. Only Chelsea (15) and Manchester United (13) have more and that stat has to worry Phil Brown who has maybe two games to save his job. Better get that CV polished up Phil, because I cannot see Hull getting anything at Turf Moor.

Prediction: Burney 1-0

 

Everton v. Aston Villa

These are two teams that were supposed to be challenging for Europe, but one of them (Everton ) seems to be going in the wrong direction as David Moyes has seen his relatively small squad decimated by injuries. Villa is another team that I think plays better away from home, as their speed causes teams all sort of trouble on the counter-attack. Which is what I think will happen here.

Prediction: Aston Villa 2-1

 

Fulham v. Liverpool
