Premier League Matchday 10 Predictions

Crystal Palace v Newcastle

Both of these teams have been playing some good football since the start of the season but I think the hosts will come out on top here. The Eagles are very attractive to watch this season and are only missing goals to their game. Newcastle tend to be involved in low-scoring games which can go one way or the other.

Prediction 1-0

Brighton v Liverpool

Brighton have been struggling lately but a win against Villa at the weekend has stopped their rot. I would say this is a good time to play the champions but they showed against Leicester that even with 10 first team injuries they can still blow teams away. They will continue to get stronger as more players return from injury.

Prediction 0-3

Manchester City v Burnley

After their defeat against Spurs last weekend this is the perfect game for City to bounce back with a bang. Yes Burnley got their first win of the season on Monday night, but in all honesty they were very lucky to hold on and have Nick Pope to thank. The England keeper will not be able to save the Clarets again at the Etihad.

Prediction 4-0

Everton v Leeds

Everton were very good going forward against Fulham last weekend but looked very shaky at the back. Leeds had the other issue against Arsenal - defended very well but failed to score against 10 men. I have a feeling this will be very tight and very entertaining, with the hosts just edging it.

Prediction 3-2

West Brom v Sheffield United

What a huge game this is. Just 3 and 1 point respectively from 9 games is seriously worrying. The Baggies have shown some fight in games and have played particularly well in the first half of games. Sheffield United really need to get a win to give them some momentum, but I am backing the Baggies for their first win instead.

Prediction 2-1

Southampton v Manchester United

Southampton have to be the surprise package this season so far. Ralph Hassenhuttl has got them well organised, well drilled offensively and playing with confidence. If United could replicate their Champions League form in the Premier League they would be right up there. I am finding it hard to back against Southampton at the moment.

Prediction 2-1

Chelsea v Tottenham

This is the kind of game that should be thoroughly entertaining with lots of goals from lots of high-class footballers. Both teams do still look susceptible at times defensively, but it's the visitors who are stronger in that department. Having said that Chelsea are looking like a complete team more and more each week and a title challenge is definitely on the cards. In terms of this game, I think the Apprentice might overhaul the Special One.

Prediction 2-1

Arsenal v Wolves

The Gunners weren't firing on all cylinders at Elland Road last time out, but defended superbly and with the help of the woodwork were able to get a very decent point. Wolves seem to be picking up in recent weeks, but Arsenal's open-play goal drought of over 8 hours will end eventually.

Prediction 1-1

Leicester v Fulham

On paper this looks like an absolute home banker. The Foxes are playing well and scoring lots of goals. The same can not be said for Fulham who are becoming accustomed to conceding 3 and 4 every week. I fear the same will happen again here, and probably a lot more before they are relegated in May.

Prediction 3-0

West Ham v Aston Villa

Every time Aston Villa are on a good run they lose a game that nobody expects them to. The same can be said of West Ham though, who always seem to perform better against the better sides. I think this is extremely close to call, but the way this season is going, it would not surprise me if the visitors nicked it.

Prediction 1-2

Nobody Is Perfect

Good afternoon and welcome back to this afternoon's blog. Some of you might have been expecting a football blog today, however, due to the international break, I thought I would give you something with a bit more substance. Before I begin, I want to thank Shan for her incredible article on Monday about mental wellbeing during the current pandemic. There were some highly inspirational words that we can all live by during these difficult times. If you show it enough support then I might even ask Shan to come back for a part 2? For today's topic, I wanted to do a follow-up to Chloe Johnson's amazing guest article which she wrote about how the impact of social media affects the way we all see ourselves, and the way we all strive to match the 'perfection' of models with the help of Instagram filters. As Chloe made the point of saying, these are not real. But our mind does not know this and always tells us that we must improve, even when there is nothing wrong with us. So...

FA Cup Final Preview - Arsenal v Chelsea

Good afternoon and welcome back to this afternoon's blog. What a funny week we have had. Scotland are beginning to ease their way out of lockdown, while some parts of England are heading towards a second one. Some tests events on getting supporters back into sports venues have been cancelled, while claims have been made this morning that the death numbers reported by the Government are inflated. It's becoming very difficult to know who or what to believe in the current climate. We all should just continue to follow our local advice and hopefully as a country we are moving in the right direction towards returning to a normal life. I feel like this was the only topic I could choose for today's blog (I am an Arsenal fan after all). The biggest game of the English football season. A historic competition entered by over 750 teams back in August, and now only 2 remain. Not only is it a major cup final, but it's also a London derby. These 2 teams quite often compete for silver...

I Have A Voice

Good afternoon and welcome back to the second instalment of my blog. Thank you to all those who read my post on Monday. I was not expecting so many of you to take time out your day to learn about me (to be fair you probably had nothing better to do). But seriously though, as I write this the 'This Is Me' post has 260 views! Thank you from the bottom of my heart to every single one of you. I thought I would follow on from the previous post and let you in to another part of my life. This is a very sensitive topic, one I very rarely talk about with anyone. I am expecting to get somewhat emotional during this, but hopefully this will inspire people to open up about their inner most thoughts and feelings. The hardest part about writing this is the constant reminder of the negativity that was put on my life on a daily basis. Before I get into my story, let me provide you with some background first. People get bullied. Others are bullies. The way I see it, bullies are only mean to oth...
