Gameweek 14 Preview

The past gameweek surely had brought a lot of excitement to all, as 42 goals were scored in 12 games, including 10 from Tottenham vs Wigan game. Defoe thus became only the 3rd player in Premier League's history to score5 goals in a game, after Alan Shearer and Andy Cole.

Latest news tells Avram Grant is now Portsmouth manager, taking over from Paul Hart. Grant is also promised transfer funds to bring in 3 new players in the January transfer window.

All focus will be on Arsenal vs Chelsea match, as the Blues aim to pull away even further. However injury to key players of both sides means squad depth will probably make a difference this time.

Gameweek 14 fixture: (Unguaranteed predictions in bracket)

Blackburn v Stoke City [3-1]
Blackburn had won their last 4 home games. I can see them winning this one too. Dunn will be playing leading role in tha attack.

Fulham v Bolton [2-0]
Dempsey's goals recently had helped Fulham to climb to the top half of the league table. Fulham will be depending on him to grab a win here.

Man City v Hull City [4-0]
No excuse anymore, City must win this game to end their 6 game drawing streak. Wright-Phillips and Adebayor will be my top pick to get maximum fantasy points. Robinho will also make a return after a lengthy lay-off.

Portsmouth v Man Utd [0-3]
The strength gap between the two team is to large. United should take it easily. Let's hope Rooney can score some goals here after being given a rest from Champions League duty.

West Ham v Burnley [1-1]
I can't see any side here to have clear advantage here. Don't be too surprise to see Burnley's defenders score again.

Wigan v Sunderland [1-1]
Sunderland's away record has been bad but Wigan is still fresh from the 1-9 defeat at Tottenham. Would be interesting to see whether Andy Reid can get bonus points for the 8th consecutive games or not.

Aston Villa v Tottenham [2-1]
Another great match-up of the week. Both side are very similar in players quality but home ground advantage should come into play this time. Richard Dunne lost his place in top defender points ranking to Terry last week as Villa had not kept a clean sheet in the last 7 games. Let's hope he can score more goals soon.

Wolves v Birmingham [0-0]
Not much to comment for this match-up as both sides are pretty weak in attacking. Most probably it will be a stalemate.

Everton v Liverpool [1-0]
Everton may need to be kind to their neighbour teams as their try to persuade Liverpool to agree to ground-share. However I'll put my vote on Saha to break Liverpool's defence.

Arsenal v Chelsea [1-1]
Arsenal need to give their best if they want to preserve their 100 percent home victory record. Chelsea had managed to break their opponent's goals in every match so far this season but this will be the hardest test for them up to date.
