Arsenal vs Chelsea 20:00 Arsenal endured a torrid time at the Etihad, seeing Manchester City run rampant in a 6-3 win. There was a bright spot on a dark day with Theo Walcott grabbing a brace as he continues his return from injury but it was still a humbling outing for the Gunners in a […]

The Etihad Stadium has quickly become the toughest place in English football to travel to, with Manchester United, Tottenham and Arsenal conceding a collective of 16 goals in their recent hammerings by Manuel Pellegrini’s men. Manchester City’s home record is still perfect after eight consecutive wins, in which they have scored 35 times and only […]

Manchester Utd vs West Ham 15:00 A brace from Danny Welbeck helped Manchester Utd to a much needed 0-3 win over Aston Villa last time out. This result relieved some, if not all, of the pressure on David Moyes and he will be hoping his side have now reached a turning point in their season […]

Fulham vs Manchester City 15:00 Fulham welcome free scoring Manchester City to Craven Cottage after suffering a humbling 4-1 defeat at the hands of Everton The 4-1 scoreline was slightly flattering on the Toffees, with two late goals doing the close encounter a disservice. For the first 70 minutes Fulham were continuing their improved form, […]

Liverpool vs Cardiff 12:45 An inspired performance from stand-in skipper Luis Suarez guided Liverpool to an astounding 5-0 win at White Hart Lane last weekend, and they host Cardiff at the start of the festive fixtures. Steven Gerrard hailed Suarez as the ‘best player in the world on current form’ following the Reds victory on […]

Sunderland vs Norwich 15:00 Sunderland earned what could well turn out to be a valuable point away to West Ham last weekend as things ended all square at 0-0. Gus Poyet will have been disappointed not to come away with the win though after seeing a number of chances repelled by Jussi Jaaskelainen. The work […]

Crystal Palace vs Newcastle 15:00 An inspired Crystal Palace were desperately unlucky not to get something from their game against Chelsea last weekend, as they fell to an eventual 2-1 defeat. Epitomised by the seemingly rejuvenated Marouane Chamakh, Palace forced Petr Cech into multiple saves. Tony Pulis will be looking for them to capitalise on […]

West Brom vs Hull Manager-less West Brom host Premier League new boys Hull, looking to end a run of 4 straight defeats. The Baggies were condemned to a 1-0 loss against Cardiff despite boasting the majority of possession and taking more shots. Attacking midfielder Stephane Sessesgnon, in particular, has every right to feel aggrieved by […]

Stoke vs Aston Villa Stoke host Aston Villa in a game that, despite the season still being in its preliminary stages, can be billed as a ‘mid-table clash’. Peter Crouch may be something of a giant, but he has surprisingly quick feet and good passing ability for ‘a big man’. This ability to spray the […]

Following Arsenal’s thrashing by Manchester City, Mesut Ozil headed straight for the tunnel without acknowledging the away fans. Per Mertesacker chased after Ozil and shouted at him, waving his finger in the new signing’s face. Whilst the 6-3 defeat is an embarrassing one for the league leaders, it is unlikely to result in a refund, […]

During Arsenal’s embarrassing 6-3 defeat against Manchester City earlier today, Jack Wilshere was spotted sticking his finger up at the Etihad stadium.

The official Arsenal FC website has announced that the club will be increasing ticket prices by 3% next season. The North London club already have the most expensive tickets in the country with some games setting fans back as much as £123.50. The cheapest ticket they have on offer for category A games, against the […]

Tottenham vs Liverpool 16:00 Tottenham beat Sunderland last weekend to record back to back away victories. They host Liverpool in undoubtedly one of their biggest challenges so far this season. Kyle Naughton was brought back into the team on Saturday following an injury to Jan Vertonghen, and he rewarded AVB with an impressive offensive display. […]

Aston Villa vs Manchester United, Sunday 13:30 Aston Villa’s solid start to the campaign sees them sitting in 11th in the table, 8 points away from the top 6, but more importantly, 6 points clear of the relegation zone. It must be pleasing for Aston Villa fans seeing one of their academy graduates coming through […]

Manchester City vs Arsenal 12:45 A spectacular equaliser from Dani Osvaldo saw Manchester City held to a point against Southampton last time out after an early strike from Sergio Ageuro. Aguero remains the league’s joint most accurate shooter according to the EA SPORTS Player Performance Index, have racked up an excellent 30 on target attempts […]

Chelsea vs Crystal Palace Chelsea were shocked at the Britannia last weekend despite a fine display from Andre Schurrle which saw him grab a brace. Mourinho’s men could not convert this into points though after a last-minute screamer from the Potters saw the Blues return to London empty-handed. Eden Hazard continues to flourish under Jose […]
