Premier League Action Returns!

After what seems like another lengthy International break it's back to the proper stuff, and a cracking evening game from The Emirates as Arsenal host Manchester United. Unfortunately, the game does lack the Bellew/Cleverley passion and fight it once had, with the likes of Keane, Butt, Viera, Keown and Parlour to name a few, stirring it up. Both teams have scored and shipped goals this season, and the both teams to score looks a certainty for me. Arsenal are unbeaten in the league at home so far this term, and I can see that continuing. United are yet to record an away win in the league under Van Gaal, having drawn 3 and lost 2, and if the Arsenal fans get behind their team, it could prove a difficult evening for their opponents. United are the more in-form team, only losing 1 of their last 6 league games.

Verdict - SCORE DRAW


Newcastle are now a team in-form, and host a QPR side that are at the opposite end of the form table. The Magpies have won 4 of their last 6 games, conceding only 4 and scoring 8. I can see a low-scoring Newcastle victory here.

Verdict - NEWCASTLE WIN - 1-0
