Weekend Review Dec 6/7
Fulham 1-1 Man City my prediction 2-1 Fulham
A tense tight affair with honors even probably the fairest result. Mwaruwari opened the scoring for the visitors early on, but Jimmy Bullard tied it up on the half hour mark.
Arsenal 1-0 Wigan my prediction 1-0 Arsenal
A 16th minute strike from Adebayor was enough to give the Gunners the points and keep them in the title chase.
Blackburn 1-3 Liverpool my prediction 2-0 Liverpool
All the goals in this one came in the last 20 minutes as Liverpool finally broke down the stubborn Blackburn rearguard. Alonso, Benayoun and Gerrard did the damage with Santa Cruz getting the consolation for Blackburn.
Bolton 0-2 Chelsea my prediction 3-2 Chelsea
This one was over early as Deco and Anelka staked Chelsea to a 2 goal lead inside 20 minutes.
Hull 2-1 Middlesbrough my prediction 2-1 Hull
Another game where all the action came late on. Tucay put Boro ahead with 20 minutes to play, but a Ross Turnbull OG and a Marlon King penalty in the 87th gave the home side the win.
Newcastle 2-2 Stoke my prediction 2-2
The home side looked to be heading for a comfortable win thanks to a double from Michael Owen, but gritty Stoke plugged away and got a goal from Sidibe on the hour mark before Faye hit the equalizer at the death.
Man Utd. 1-0 Sunderland my prediction 4-1 Utd.
Utd huffed and puffed and finally blew the visitors down right on the final whistle courtesy of a rare Vidic goal.
West Brom 1-1 Portsmouth my prediction 3-1 Portsmouth
A rare point for the home side who actually had the lead thanks to a first half Greening strike before finally succumbing to a Peter Crouch goal in the 58th.
Everton 2-3 Aston Villa my prediction 1-1
A rollercoaster battle that swung back and forth before Villa took the spoils with a late Ashley Young strike. Young had scored earluer and Steve Sidwell scored the other for Villa. Everton got a double from Lescott.
West Ham 0-2 Tottenham my prediction 2-1 Tottenham
Spurs came out on top in the London derby, but left it late. Goals from King in the 68th and a last minute Jamie O’Hara strike doing the damage.
