Another big weekend in the Prem with the top four playing games against teams lower down the table. Chelsea's confidence will be high after their demolition of a dire Derby County. Not sure if that will make it a tough game for us. You would expect all of the top four to win and win handsomely but I think there will be a few close games this weekend.

At the other end of the table, will the woeful West 'Am continue their poor form along with a Newcastle side who can't buy a win at the moment

Special mention for the top of the table Championship clash. Watford could get their automatic promotion hopes back on track with a home win against this seasons surprise, Stoke City.
 
Jesus, someone else in doing a weekend thead shocker! :)

I wouldn't bet against Arsenal dropping more points this week, either that or they'll thump Boro. Although they're yet to win a PL game since we thumped them in the cup :p

I'm hoping Fergie will play as strong a team as possible for all three games in the next 8 days.

We can't drop any more points now if we are to win the league, at most i think we can afford to drop 2 against Liverpool, Chelsea or Man U (most likey one). I'm not sure we can manage that to be honest the way we've been playing recently.
 
Lawro's predicted us a loss... again :(. I don't think he has ever had us down to win!

Like Fulham last week though I can see us dropping points against West Ham, we always seem to against struggling teams.
 
as a birthday wish i'm hoping derby don't have one of those games which the really poor teams seem to pull out of the bag once a season and nick a draw. oh i also hope our title rivals lose.
 
Should be a comfortable 3 points but you never know what can happen. Alonso's back in the squad but Rafa has confirmed that Agger is going to need surgery and will miss the rest of the season (which is a suprise after coming through the last 2 friendlies unscaved).
 
I'm not optimistic about this weekend unless Adebayor or (Bentdner ha!) can step up. RvP will need more time and when ffs is Rosicky coming back? :(

If we put our chances away we'll win - otherwise Middlesborough will take that as an incentive to start getting physical. We can't drop points any more :(
