Major Leagues Predictions

After a week of Internationals, it is back to leagues for the players. And it is also back to work for me.

English Premership

Everton 1-2 Liverpool
Arsenal 3-1 Bolton
Blackburn 1-0 Reading
Fulham 2-1 Derby
Manchester City 2-1 Birmingham
Middlesbrough 1-2 Chelsea
Wigan 1-1 Portsmouth
Aston Villa 1-1 Manchester United
West Ham 2-2 Sunderland
Newscastle 2-1 Tottenham

Pick of the matches: would be the clash between Liverpool and Everton and Aston Villa vs Man united. A slip of either clubs would dent their title dreams.
Best Bet: Man City and Arsenal at home to win.

Bundesliga

Energie Cottbus 1-2 MSV Duisburg
Bayer Leverkusen 2-1 Borussia Dortmund
Hamburg 2-1 VfB Stuttgart
Hansa Rostock 1-2 Schalke
Nurnberg 1-1 Eintracht Frankfurt
VfL Bochum 0-3 Bayern Munich
Werder Bremen 2-0 Hertha Berlin

Spainish La Liga

Almeria 1-2 Osasuna
Atletico Madrid 2-1 Real Zaragoza
Deportivo 1-2 Valencia
Espanyol 1-2 Real Madrid
Getafe 2-1 Murcia
Levante 1-2 Sevilla
Real Betis 1-1 Racing Santander
Recreativo Huelva 1-1 Mallorca
Valladolid 1-2 Atheltic Bilbao

Pick of Match: Villarreal at home to Barcelona. A win for submariners is needed to get back into the hunt. Hence a upset may be on the cards.
Best Bet: Real Madrid to continue its winning ways.

Serie A

AC Milan 2-0 Empoli
Atalanta 1-1 Torino
Cagliari 1-1 Catania
Fiorentina 2-1 Siena
Juventus 2-0 Genoa
Livorno 1-1 Lazio

Best Bets: The big boys all should pick up 3 points this weekend. Take Inter and AC to win by 2 goals.

Enough of the boring matters. Now for some interesting news on the soccer site.

1. News out of England suggests that Paul Jewell would be taking over at Bolton, replacing Sammy Lee after a miserable start to the season by Bolton.

2. Former England boss Graham Taylor has came out to suggest that current England boss McClaren would be facing the sack if they fail to qualify for Euro 2008 after a 2-1 loss in Russia.

3. Current Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is tipped for further glory with a potential board position after his retirement at Arsenal by Peter Hill-Wood.
