Welcome to my weekly premier league predictions article. I will be predicting the Premier League fixtures every week and tracking my progress as I go along using a points system that I have devised which will be as follows:
Getting the outcome of the match wrong: 0 points
Getting the outcome of a match correct: 1 point
Getting the exact score of a match correct: 3 points
BONUS POINTS
Getting five outcomes in a set of fixtures correct: 2 points
Getting five exact scores in a set of fixtures correct: 4 points
I will also be comparing my progress to BBC Sport’s Mark Lawrenson and seeing how our prediction success compares throughout the season.
So here goes for week one's predictions:
I haven’t got time for a hugely detailed preview this week as I returned from holiday an hour ago but it will be better in the future.
Arsenal Vs West Brom
I think this will be a closer game than most people expect but I can’t see Arsenal dropping points at home here.
West Brom have a stronger squad than in any of their previous brief visits to the premiership and have a great young and determined manager in Tony Mowbray.
In the Championship they weren’t great defensively so therefore I can see their defence being under threat here.
Arsenal isn’t an easy place to start the Premier League season. Arsenal have had a couple of high profile departures this Summer but they are still a great team and they should have enough in their locker to send West Brom back to the Midlands with no points.
Prediction: 3-1

Those Liverpool fans will be kicking the door down soon for you Daniel , 1-1 on the opener against Sunderland is not what those guys wanna see .
Im fine with it and it would give me pleasure to see Lpool off to a drawing start , rather than winning , Ive got them to win 3-1 tho , we will see , interesting stuff .
