Regardless of this though, I do not think it is too presumptuous of me to propose that, with a goal in the first fifteen minutes, Arsenal could go on to score 5 or 6 if they are in the right mood. Notice the use of the word “could” in that sentence. We all know what the likely alternative would be: lots of pretty passes around the box that never go anywhere.

I think that with the return of Fabregas the Arsenal attack will have a bit of the penetration it lacked at Anfield last Sunday, and I hope that they take as many chances as possible so that the carnival atmosphere that comes with the first home game of the season may continue unabated.

Pick flowers not fights

Prediction: Arsenal 5-0 Blackpool

Sunderland could recall Lorik Cana, their captain. He returned on the bench at Villa fatre missing two games through suspension. Kenwyne Jones remains a doubt.

Wigan’s undersoil heating system failed yesterday and engineers have been unable to repair it, causing the pitch to freeze overnight. The referee Stuart Atwell inspected the pitch at 8.30am and decided the heavy overnight frost had left the surface unplayable.

After all, it was only eight days ago that they deservedly beat Rafael Benitez’s beleaguered team and Martinez will be calling for a repeat performance to further ease their relegation fears.

In contrast, Villa head into the game on the back of a morale-boosting seven-match unbeaten run.

They have drawn five of those matches, keeping them six points adrift of the UEFA Champions League places, but they will travel to the North West in buoyant mood.

They have kept five clean sheets during their impressive recent run and will take heart from the fact that only one of their previous nine Premier League meetings with Wigan has ended as a home win.

Team News:

Wigan: Kirkland, Boyce, Bramble, Caldwell, Figueroa, McCarthy, Diame, Scharner, N’Zogbia, Moses, Rodallega.

Aston Villa: Friedel, Cuellar, Collins, Dunne, Warnock, Ashley Young, Petrov, Milner, Downing, Heskey, Agbonlahor.

We have given Ric a couple of games off and he’s come back and he looked bright, sharp and ready to go. We’ve got good players up there and we want to use them in the right way. Now Tuncay’s had a bit of a rest and I might bring him back in at some point and give him the first hour. I think those two players are special players for us and Mama (Sidibe) and James (Beattie) are different centre-forwards

Kieron Dyer (hamstring) is also back, along with Valon Behrami after recovering from a long-term knee problem but Luis Jimenez (muscle) is a doubt.

Longer-term absentees Dean Ashton (ankle) and Luis Boa Morte (knee) are still unavailable. Mexico striker Guillermo Franco is unlikely to play.

Liverpool boss Rafael Benitez could field the same starting XI for the third game in succession.

While Manchester City has not been a disappointment this year so far, they haven’t been quite as dominant or entertaining as many EPL fans thought. That could all change this weekend as they take on a struggling Portsmouth team on Sunday August 30th. Many people are predicting that this will be the game that Man City breaks out and explodes offensively and thus, you will not want to miss it.

Hull City bounced back in a big way in their game against the Bolton Wanderers after being absolutely dominated by Tottenham in their last game. This weekend Hull City played a full 90 minutes and showed excellent ball control in many ways. Kamel Ghilas scored an important goal in the 60th minute to lead the team towards three points and he will be looking to do the same against the Wolves this weekend. Another big win could do a lot for the team’s confidence and in the standings.

Wolves vs Hull City Live Streaming

Wolves had a lot of chances in that game and manager Mick McCarthy was left to rue what might have been. However his team bounced back from that loss to beat Swindon Town 6-5 on penalties in the Carling Cup during the id week. Sylvan Ebanks-Blake, Chris Iwelumo, Michael Kightly and Kevin Foley continue to miss out with various injuries.

The Hotspurs managed to stay neck and neck with Chelsea at the top of the EPL standings thanks to a tightly contested win against West Ham on the weekend. The team got timely goals and excellent play from Aaron Lennon and Jermain Defoe. All eyes are now on the Hotspurs and manager Harry Reknapp as they are now being crowned as the possible favorites for the season, and being labeled as the team to beat in the 2009-10 EPL season.

Live:

Tottenham vs Birmingham Live Streaming

The Spurs continued their winning start to the season last weekend at Upton Park when they beat West Ham 2-1. Goals from Jermain Defoe and Aaron Lennon nullified Carlton Cole’s opener for the Hammers and handed Spurs all three points.

Manchester United have had an indifferent start to the season. After a narrow 1-0 win over Birmingham on the opening day, the Red Devils feel to a shocking 1-0 loss to new boys Burnley before bouncing back with a thumping 5-0 win over Wigan last week.

Live :

Manchester United vs Arsenal Live Streaming

Arsenal confirmed that they would finish fourth in the Premier League, after being defeated 4-1 at the Emirates by Chelsea. Chelsea took a three goal lead through goals from Alex, Nicolas Anelka and a Kolo Toure own goal, before Nicklas Bendtner got a goal back for the Gunners. The Blues wasn’t finished yet though, as in the latter stages Florent Malouda added a fourth goal. The defeat meant that Arsenal couldn’t catch their London rivals in the league table. Fourth place will see the Gunners have to play in the qualifying stages of the Champions League next season.

Manager Arsene Wenger will be delighted with his side’s start, but will be wary of slipping up at Old Trafford especially as he is likely to be without captain Cesc Fabregas who is nursing a hamstring injury. Wenger will hope his side can settle down in this game and grab an early goal to set up the match.

Stoke will see the visit of Sunderland on Saturday as an opportunity to grab much needed points as the new Premier League season gets set for serious business.

Live:

Stoke City vs Sunderland Live Streaming

Stoke City has been a picture of inconsistency so far this year and have to be disappointed in the fact that they could not finish off Birmingham City last weekend. In their 0-0 tie they did manage to get by with a point but the team has to feel they should have gotten three. They have now been shutout in two straight games and haven’t found the back of the net since their first game when Jordan and Ryan Shawcross scored.

Stoke play League One side Leyton Orient in the Carling Cup during the mid-week and Pulis is set to give Andy Griffin, Danny Pugh, Carl Dickinson and Leon Cort some much needed match time.

Chelsea of course is undefeated and sits atop the EPL standings while Burnley remains in striking distance. Another win for Chelsea and they could prove that they are the team to beat this year. If Burnley pulls off a victory it would be a big step in proving that they are more prepared for the season than many people expected.

Live:

Chelsea vs Burnley Live Streaming

Chelsea have a 100% record so far and it will be interesting to see how Ancelotti manages once the Champions League fixtures get underway. Deco and Essien are expected to be back for this game after being rested in the Fulham one.

Bolton was not expected to do big things this year but still have to be disappointed in the way they played. They have yet to score a goal as they lost by a score of 0-1 to Hull City and 0-1 loss to Sunderland. They have to hope that their offence picks it up and picks it up early against Liverpool or this could be a blow out. They will be squaring off with Bolton on Saturday August 29th in a game that they should win, but their confidence has to be at a low. Bolton on the other hand will be looking for their first goal and their first win on the 2009-10 EPL season. It will be a tough match for both teams and another loss for either of them could be more than demoralizing.

Meanwhile Liverpool have had a nightmare start to the season losing two of their three games played so far. After a 2-1 loss to Tottenham on the opening day, the Reds bounced back with a 4-0 win over Stoke, only to sink to a 3-1 loss to Aston Villa on Monday.

Blackburn will undoubtedly be the underdogs in this game but will have quite a lot to prove. They need to do whatever it takes to prepare better as another loss would leave them with a long way to claw back into the middle of the standings. While they did manage to jump ahead in their last game thanks to a goal from Gael Givet it was not enough thanks to a strong game and two goals from Kenwyne Jones.

Blackburn are looking to bring in Pascal Chimbonda as it appears that Stephen Warnock is headed to Aston Villa.

Meanwhile West Ham will look to bounce back from a 2-1 defeat to Tottenham last week. The Hammers took the lead through Carlton Cole in the 49th minute, but a mistake from Cole gave Jermaine Defoe the simplest of chances to tap in. Aaron Lennon scored the winner for Tottenham.

Manchester United are expected to register a comfortable victory over Burnley when the two teams meet in their next Premier League encounter this Wednesday. Catch all the live football feeds from this game here on Live Sport Network.

Manchester United began their 2009-10 EPL campaign on the right foot thanks in large part to the foot of striker Wayne Rooney. On the other side, Burnley did not begin their first ever English Premier League campaign the right way as they were overtaken by Stoke City by a score of 0-2.
