Arsenal v Manchester United – 7.30pm (2-1)

This is a big game. It could end up being a shootout if I’m being honest. Both sets of forwards will be licking their licks and will fancy scoring and both teams going forward are as good as anybody in the Premier League. It’s at the back where the game will be decided.

There’s been a lot of talk about whether Jack Wilshere should be playing defensive midfield like he does for England, but I think he’s a bit lost at Arsenal. He plays in a midfield where Aaron Ramsey will be in front of him, and Mathieu Flamini and Mikel Arteta will be behind him, and he’ll be in the middle. He should be the one who’s playing a bit further forward instead of Ramsey. But he’s getting better again, he’s getting fitter again and, when he does, he’s a player.

I think Arsenal will just win this one 2-1. I think they have to win. With United being away from home and having a lot more injuries I think it’s more important that Arsenal win this game.

Aston Villa v Southampton – 9pm (1-2)

Southampton are absolutely flying at the moment. I mean they went to Hull last time out and absolutely dominated the game and not many teams, I do not care who you are, go to Hull and do that to them.

Meanwhile Villa were awful against QPR, but were unlucky against Spurs, although they have no Christian Benteke for this game and the way Southampton are playing at the moment, I cannot see anything other than a Southampton win.

So I am going to go 2-1 to Southampton, and I am being kind to Villa, but I just do not see how they can possibly get a result there.

Crystal Palace v Liverpool – 2.30pm (0-2)

This is another game which is massive for both sides. Palace need to start winning football matches because they seem to have got into a little rut and they are dropping very quickly. Liverpool also need to start winning quickly otherwise their season will evaporate.

I think this is a big game for Brendan Rodgers. He has now lost Daniel Sturridge, but just recently Palace have not been very good, so I am going to go for 2-0 to Liverpool.

Chelsea v West Bromwich Albion   (3-0)

A home win’s a certainty in this one. I watched West Brom the other week and they were a disappointment against Newcastle, who they lost 2-0 at home to. If they play anywhere near like that it will be four or five because we know about the quality that Chelsea have going forward.

I am going to go for a 3-0 win for Chelsea - it will be a walk in the park.

Manchester City v Swansea City (3-1)

This should be a good game really as Swansea beat Arsenal last time out, while Man City are now in a position where they just have to win every game, draws are already no good and we have just started the season!

City need to get three points, badly. For me, they have just got to concentrate on this game first, and then worry about Bayern Munich in the Champions League afterwards. I think they’ll do that and get the points. Swansea did great to come back against Arsenal but I am going to go 3-1 to Man City.
