Premiership Preview
Saturday 12:45
Man United V Aston Villa: United will be looking to build on last weeks win away to Everton and I think they will beat Aston Villa. Last week was good and bad for Villa, good for strikers but bad for defenders with a 2-2 draw at home to Bolton. Villa will need to be on top form to get anything from this fixture. Cathal's Prediction: Man United 3-1 Aston Villa.

Blackburn V Fulham: Blackburn had a really bad start to the season last week with a 3-1 defeat away to Premiership newboys West Ham and also had Paul Dickov sent off. Fulham had a boring start to the season with a 0-0 draw at home to Birmingham. Cathal's Prediction: Blackburn 2-1 Fulham.
Charlton V Wigan: Charlton had a great start to the new season away to Sunderland with a 3-1 win and they only had ten men, It alos appears they have that they have a top English striker now who scored 2 in that game, Darren Bent. Wigan gave a great account of themselves at home to Premiership Champions Chelsea, Holding them to the 93 minute only to lose to a wonderful strike from Hernan Crespo. Cathal's Prediction: Charlton 1-1 Wigan.
Liverpool V Sunderland: Liverpool should have really won away at Middlesborough in their season opener because Boro were reduced to ten men with a bit of time left but I think they will be ready for Sunderland. Sunderland were beaten by a side with ten men 3-1 and didn't play great, I suppose it's though in your first game back in the Premiership.Cathal's Prediction: Liverpool 2-0 Sunderland.
Newcastle V West Ham: Newcastle had a dissapointing start to the season with a 2-0 defeat to Arsenal but they are lucky that Jermaine Jenas's red card was changed to a yellow after the match. West Ham had a brilliant start to life in the Premiership with a 3-1 win at home to Blackburn. Cathal's Prediction: Newcastle 2-2 West Ham.
Tottenham V Middlesborough: Tottenham had a good start away from against Portsmouth with a 2-0 win and maybe a start to a great season. Middlesborough were lucky to get a draw at home to Liverpool last week after they had a man sent off and Liverpool came very close to scoring. Cathal's Prediction: Tottenham 1-0 Middlesborough.
West Brom V Portsmouth: West Brom got a good point away from home against Man City last week in a 0-0 draw. Portsmouth had a terrible start to the season losing at home to Tottenham 2-0 and not playing well at all. Cathal's Prediction: West Brom 2-1 Portsmouth.
Saturday 17:45
Birmingham V Man City: These two teams had absolutely boring start's to the season's with 0-0 draw's against West Brom and Fulham. It will be a very close match with the odd goal seperating them. Cathal's Prediction: Birminham 1-2 Man City.

Sunday 13:30
Bolton V Everton: Bolton had a very entertaining start to the season with a 2-2 draw away at Aston Villa and with all of the goals coming in the first ten minutes. Everton had a poor start to the season with a 2-0 defeat at home to man united. Cathal' Prediction: Bolton 1-1 Everton.
Sunday 16:00
Chelsea V Arsenal: This is one of the biggest clashes of the season and it could be very tight. Both teams got of to good start's but Chelsea weren't very convincing at new boys Wigan only winning 1-0 with a 93 minute winner by Hernan Crespo. Arsenal looked in good shape at home to Newcastle winning 2-0. Cathal's prediction: Arsenal 2-1 Chelsea.
