Gameweek 22 Preview

Alright, this week we have 13 games, with 6 teams playing twice. However take note that gameweek 23 will have only 8 games, due to the re-arranged league cup semi-final 2nd leg match between Man Utd and Man City, which means Stoke City and Hull City will take a break.

On top of the form table are Arsenal, Man City, Birmingham and Villa (though Villa had lost their last two league games.) Meanwhile Chelsea, Man United and Fulham have the best form at home currently.

Gameweek 22 fixture:

Stoke City v Liverpool [1-0]
With Gerrard and Torres injured again,(Benayoun and Johnson too) the Reds are going to have a hard time. It won't be a surprise to me if they lose again.
Maxi Rodriguez is set to make his first start so let's see if he can make a big impact.

Chelsea v Sunderland [2-0]
With Anelka back in frame, they should be able to see off Sunderland. I don't think Sunderland can win but a draw is still possible, depending on Bent's performance.

Man Utd v Burnley [4-0]
Burnley had not won for 9 games so United will surely win this. I would bet HEAVILY on United this round, for sure.

Portsmouth v Birmingham [1-1]
I don't think Portsmouth are capable of breaking Birmingham's streak. So I guess it's still fine to hold on to Birmingham's player?

Tottenham v Hull City [3-0]
This should be a very one-sided game. Lennon is still an injury doubt but Krancjar is a good bet. Tottenham had also kept clean sheet for 4 consecutive games.

Wolves v Wigan [1-1]
It's either a win or draw for Wolves, with Kevin Doyle and Craddock the most possible point scorers.

Everton v Man City [1-2]
Man City are still on winning streak since Mancini came. They are now in top 4 and should not drop out immediately.

Aston Villa v West Ham [3-0]
A good chance for Villa to go back to winning ways.

Blackburn v Fulham [1-1]
There is a chance for a reverse result as Blackburn's home form are not too good recently. For those who purchased Dempsey last week, this is a chance to make amend.

Bolton v Arsenal [1-1]
Klasnic scored 5 goals in the last 6 games and will be the top dangerman. Fabregas should make a return this week so this will be a close encounter.

Extra:
Arsenal v Bolton [2-0]
Arsenal should have a clear advantage back to Emirates Stadium.

Liverpool v Tottenham [1-1]
This game is too far to foresee. Firstly let's see how Liverpool fare against Stoke City.

Man Utd v Hull City [3-0]
Too bad for Hull City, they have to play 2 away games against strong opponents in a week. This should add more arguments for one to invest on United this week, but next gameweek will be a problem as United will skip gameweek 23. Do expect rotation too as they will have to play two league cup games during this period.


Alright, let's hope we can enjoy this week's fantasy game!
