A few Premiership predictions for today.

Liverpool V Man United.

For some reason I quite fancy Liverpool to sneak this one, partially due to the fact that United have beaten them at home far too many times recently, so they’ve got to come good sooner rather than later, plus I think Sir Alex will try and accommodate Berbatov into his team and I have a gut feeling it just won’t work today. By the looks of it Gerrard and Torres will be involved in some shape or form and they will be the difference makers here.

Verdict

Liverpool 2 – 1 Man United

Portsmouth V Middlesbrough

After a slow start Portsmouth’s season kick started into life with a good 3-0 win away at Everton. Boro have started well with two wins and a highly credible display at Anfield but I just feel that this is the kind of open game that the Portsmouth team and fans will love to play in. Pompy to win this.

Verdict

Portsmouth 3 – 1 Middlesbrough

West Brom V West Ham

This is a tricky one to call with West Brom still seeking there first win back in the big time. They’re going to be really motivated for this game, especially with Zola taking his place in the opposition dug out for the first time. West Ham will be buzzing with his appointment and I expect a really great game of football at the Hawthorns this afternoon. I’m sensing a lot of goals and think West Brom will get something from this.

Verdict

West Brom 3 – West Ham 2

Newcastle United – V Hull City

Even with all that’s been happening at St James Park this week Newcastle still have far to much at home for Hull to deal with. Things might be difficult if the fans get distracted and turn their attention to Mike Ashley but I can’t see them doing this over supporting their own team. Hull were woefull against Wigan and made simple defensive mistakes that the likes of Owen will pounce on. Nothing but a conclusive home win here.

Verdict

Newcastle United 3 – Hull City 0
