Premier League Matchday 11 Predictions

 Aston Villa v Newcastle postponed due to Covid 19.

Burnley v Everton

The hosts are still really struggling with just a single win from their opening 10 games. Their biggest problem is scoring goals, which is not something that Everton struggle with. Despite some patchy form of late, I still think they will have a good season, and would expect them to win this game.

Prediction 0-2

Manchester City v Fulham

This really does look on paper like a question of how many goals City will score. The game is not played on paper, but Fulham will not shut City out. Their defence is leakier than a sieve at the moment, and just at a time when City are beginning to play freely again. If any of the City strikers are low on confidence, this is the perfect game to change that.

Prediction 5-0

West Ham v Manchester United

The Hammers are playing well this season and had a very impressive win against Aston Villa on Monday evening. United came from 2 goals down to win last weekend at Southampton before controlling the game against PSG, only losing after Fred's red card. I am expecting a decent game here with the visitors just edging it.

Prediction 1-2

Chelsea v Leeds

Tammy Abraham, Timo Werner and Kai Havertz have without doubt been the best attacking force so far this season. Olivier Giroud will be pushing for a start after scoring 4 against Sevilla in midweek. Leeds have been the surprise package up to this point, but it really would be a shock if they took maximum points from the Bridge.

Prediction 2-0

West Brom v Crystal Palace

It was a bitter sweet weekend for West Brom last week - they secured their first win of the season but Fulham also picked up a win. This is the kind of game the Baggies should attack. Palace are dangerous against any opponent, but I worry about their diversity when teams sit deep against them, which I fully expect West Brom to do.

Prediction 1-0

Sheffield United v Leicester

Second season syndrome has well and truly arrived at Brammall Lane. 1 point from a possible 30 and relegation looking likely already. Leicester, meanwhile, will be looking to respond from their defeat against Fulham on Monday night. I would expect the Foxes to win this one, but surely Sheffield United have to perform sooner or later?

Prediction 0-2

Tottenham v Arsenal

On paper, this looks like a very easy game to call, but North London derbies are unique. Form, league position, quality and everything else goes completely out the window. Spurs will be confident with Harry Kane and Son scoring freely again, but Arsenal won't be, and shouldn't be afraid to attack Tottenham. Both these teams are weaker at the back, so if the strikers are on form, this could be a very entertaining derby.

Prediction 2-2

Liverpool v Wolves

Jurgen Klopp was complaining last weekend about the use of VAR, but had his side taken their chances, Brighton's added time penalty wouldn't have affected the result. Wolves have been more miss than hit this campaign, but were on song at the Emirates last time out. This is a big step up though.

Prediction 3-1

Brighton v Southampton

This might not be the biggest rivalry in football, but try telling these teams that. Brighton were worthy of their point against Liverpool last weekend - Danny Welbeck is starting to show the quality we all know he has. The Saints were flying last weekend before losing late on against Manchester United. They have still made a strong start, and that could well continue here.

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...
