Ali; 2-2

Reading vs Arsenal:Two sides that have not found their way in the league, so far. Reading sit in the relegation zone, while Arsenal are having their worse EPL campaign under Arsene Wenger, need a win to get back on course. Arsenal currently in 10th need to get in amongst the top 5 to relieve the fans discontent.
Prediction:
Roderick; 3-2 Arsenal
Ali; 3-2 Arsenal

West Bromwich Albion vs West Ham United: Both sides are having fantastic campaigns, so far and are exceeding expectations. West Brom have come off the boil in recent weeks picking up 3 straight losses but will look upon this fixture as a winnable game. The Hammers lost a tight one to Liverpool in a good performance and will look to pick up all three points.
Prediction:
Roderick; 1-1
Ali; 1-1

Stoke City vs Everton; Everton having a great start to the season and will be looking to continue to solidify themselves as a Champions league candidate following up their win over fellow hopeful Spurs last week. Stoke are coming onto their own and beginning to impose themselves on their I opponents. Will be a classic hard fought game.
Prediction:
Roderick; 1-1
Ali; 1-0 Stoke

Norwich City vs Wigan Athletics; Norwich are in the midst of a 9 game unbeaten streak and can look to stretch it to 10 as they play a Wigan side who have dropped into the bottom three with a run of poor results. Wigan need get back to winning ways after coming off the boil after beating Spurs a few weeks back,
Prediction:
Roderick; 2-0 Norwich
Ali; 2-1 Norwich

Chelsea vs Southampton
postponed

Queens Park Rangers vs Fulham: A local London derby between clubs that are having indifferent seasons. QPR are the only winless team in the league and face a Fulham side who themselves have only one win in the last 6 games. New QPR manager Harry Redknapp is looking to turn things around, while Fulham’s Martin Jol is trying to find the formula for consistency. Fulham’s superior quality may be the difference.
Prediction:
Roderick; 2-1 Fulham
Ali; 1-1

Liverpool vs Aston Villa: The Brendan Rodgers Liverpool era is slowly taking shape as they quietly and consistently moving up the table. Had am impressive road win over West Ham & will look to pick up another win against a struggling inexperienced Aston Villa. The return of Luis Suarez will be good for Liverpool also.

Roderick; 2-0 Liverpool
Ali; 2-1 Liverpool
