Good spot over your Man U result last week and as it so happens I said an Arsenal win. However glad Chelsea won as it has kept the EPL title open.

Manchester United vs Aston Villa
This week I expect that Manchester Utd will win against Aston Villa, but Villa have been poor lately and this match could get them going again. Man Utd to win.

Liverpool vs Everton
Liverpool - a week in the life off. Owners falling out, players getting into trouble and a poor showing by their England internationals. Everton - Cahill out for the season, along with Chelsea shafted in a fixture arrangement. One of the biggest blue - red derby's in recent times with the winner taking a massive step towards the final European spot.  A Liverpool win gives Benitez a more secure seat. But an Everton win gives Moyles a chance to make his club into the cities top side.
I could duck this and go for a draw but that's boring. Everton win.

Rangers vs Celtic
Not my most popular teams and the main reason Scottish leagues suffer. (Support your local teams - but that is  a different story). Not often a lot of skill during the game but great for passion. Draw. 3 sent off, 5 yellow cards. 75 arrested. 1 attempted murder.

Besiktas vs Fenerbahce
What is normal in Glasgow becomes extreme in Turkey. Do they not slaughter goats during their games? Fenerbahce, very strong and can't see them losing this one.

SC Paderborn vs FC ST PAULI
Goggled Paderborn and discovered that they were one of the teams fixed by the referee. Look up St Pauli and discovered that they are on YouTube and have a great Wiki write up. St Pauli for a win - if only to please Ian.
