Gameweek 16 Preview

Last week was very special as we saw 3 teams failed to convert their penalty chances. Fabregas, Lampard and Dindane all missed the opportunities. We also saw Benitez put his head nearer to the chopper board as Liverpool failed to get results to their favour again. And also Man City put an end to their 7 consecutive draws with an impressive win over league leaders Chelsea.

Gameweek 16 fixture: (Unguaranteed predictions in bracket)

Stoke City v Wigan [2-0]
Keep an eye on Etherington as he's got good points during the last 3 home games. Wigan had their first-choice keeper Kirkland injured so it'll be very difficult for them.

Birmingham v West Ham [1-0]
Birmingham are in great form so there'll be little doubt over the outcome of this match. Boywer will be the man to watch as he had made contributed to consecutive victories in their last 3 games.


Bolton v Man City [0-2]
They've learned how to win big team, now they'll know whether they have learnt how to win lesser team too! Too bad Bellamy and Weiss are hit with H1N1 disease.

Burnley v Fulham [1-1]
Burnley are good at home but Fulham are performing quite well at the moment. It's hard to guess who will have the upper hand here.

Chelsea v Everton [3-0]
Everton's squad have been hit badly by injuries so this should be an easy win for Chelsea. I'm quite sure Drogba will score this time. A clean sheet to them as well.

Hull City v Blackburn [2-1]
Note that Hull City will skip one league match next midweek. But if you have any of them in your sub bench you might want to field them for this game.

Sunderland v Portsmouth [2-0]
I have a little doubt here as Portsmouth looked started to pick up themselves under new manager Grant. Anyway I'll bet home ground to rule.

Tottenham v Wolves [3-0]
Looks like this will be a repeat of Tottenham vs Wigan again? But at least we can be assured of some goals...

Man Utd v Aston Villa [2-0]
United used to win big over Villa. Rooney and Berbatov may had injured but In-form Owen could just fit in well.

Liverpool v Arsenal [1-1]
With Torres missing they just don't seem to stand a chance. I'll bet Arsenal to get away with at least a draw.

Top picks for this week will be Chelsea and Tottenham, and for lesser teams Stoke City and Birmingham. All four teams look good to get a clean sheet too.
