Week 2 Predictions

Blackburn Rovers 2 Hull City 1
The new boys had a dream start against Fulham in their Premier League debut, but they will fall back to earth from cloud nine against Paul Ince's Blackburn, who pulled off an impressive win at Everton, where no team outside the 'Big Four' won last season.

Liverpool 1 Middlesbrough 0
Liverpool looked toothless against Standard Liege and Sunderland. Some magic from star striker Fernando Torres may save them here.

Newcastle United 2 Bolton Wanderers 0
Both teams had good starts to the season, but Newcastle were arguably more impressive, drawing at Man United compared to Bolton's home win against newly-promoted Stoke. A win here for the Magpies could set the tone for a good season ahead for the 'Barcodes'.

Stoke City 1 Aston Villa 4
Stoke were branded 'naive' by their manager after their 3-1 defeat to Bolton, who are hardly world-class. They will await a footballing lesson by Villa, who were impressive in their win against Manchester City. Look out for Agbonlahor!

Tottenham Hotspur 3 Sunderland 1
Juande Ramos' head will roll if he doesn't get a win against the Black Cats. The Lilywhites will have something to prove after their poor start to the season, despite being branded as a contender to break into the 'Big Four' in pre-season.

West Brom 1 Everton 2
Everton have failed to strengthen in pre-season and it could cost them dear as they battle on four fronts again. They were booed by their home fans after the 2-3 loss to Blackburn, but should have enough in their engine to squeeze past last season's Championship winners.

Fulham 0 Arsenal 2
A poor start to the season by Fulham looks like it will become worse when they entertain the Gunners at Craven Cottage. They were beaten by newly-promoted Hull City and will fare no better against the Gunners in the first minor London derby of the season.

Wigan 1 Chelsea 3
Chelsea were highly impressive against Portsmouth and will no doubt grab all 3 points against the hapless Latics. Steve Bruce's Wigan are no pushovers though and should compete well against the Blues.

Manchester City 1 West Ham United 1
Man City had a poor start to the season, a shock UEFA Cup defeat, a loss to Villa on the BPL opening-day, and the arrest warrant in Thailand of club owner Thaksin. With new Brazilian signing not returning until after this match, West Ham should be able to leave the City of Manchester Stadium with a point.

Portsmouth 1 Manchester United 2
Portsmouth were battered 0-4 by Chelsea, but Man United also had a poor start to their season, struggling to a poor draw against Newcastle at Old Trafford. Carlos Tevez will return for this match though, and following a superb pre-season performance, could be just the spark United need to win here, something they have not done in the last 2 seasons.
