Weekend Football
Everton v Fulham, Saturday, Sky Sports 1, 12:45pm
Fulham face Everton on Saturday afternoon in a game that sees Andy Johnson return to Goodison Park for the first time since his summer move. Both teams entered the new season with plenty of hope and ambition, but both have also had disappointing starts to the season. Prior to the midweek games neither had won in the last five games, leaving both in the bottom half of the Premiership. However both will be looking to use the momentum gained from the respective wins against Wigan and Bolton. Fulham beat Wigan 2-0 at Craven Cottage, with Johnson scoring twice, the first being the 100th goal of his career. Everton beat Bolton 1-0 at the Reebok thanks to Marouane Fellaini's 90th minute goal. A win would put either side firmly into the top half of the league, and rekindle summer ambitions.
Everton are 4/6 with VCBet to claim a second successive win at Goodison, while Fulham are 4/1 with Pagebet to build on their win last time out.

Tottenham Hotspur v Liverpool, Saturday, Setanta Sports 1, 5:30pm
Tottenham end their most dramatic week in some time when they host Liverpool at White Hart Lane on Saturday tea time. Following Harry Redknapps whirlwind appointment and their first Premiership win against Bolton, Spurs travelled to North London rivals Arsenal. In a pulsating game Spurs lost an early lead and then twice came back from a two goal deficit to draw 4-4 at the Emirates. Goals from Jermain Jenas and Aaron Lennon in the last two minutes ensured Redknapp's honeymoon period continued for another few days. They face league leaders Liverpool, who are enjoying a 17 game unbeaten run and have fans dreaming of a first league title since 1990. Although they haven't hit top form yet, Liverpool have been impressive in they way they have ground out victories, often scoring late in games. This type of form is needed for a successful title challenge, and they will hope to continue that throughout the whole season.
Tottenham are the 5/2 outsiders with BGbet to finish off their busy week with a win, while Liverpool are 11/10 favourites with Centrebet to extend their lead at the top of the league.

Bolton Wanderers v Manchester City, Sunday, Sky Sports 1, 4:00pm
Manchester City travel to the Reebok on Sunday aiming for some consistency. Their midweek defeat to Middlesbrough was their third in their last six games, a sequence which has also seen two wins and a draw. They will be targeting a win here however, as they face a Bolton side who sit second bottom with four defeats in their last six games. Wanderers also lost in midweek, as a 90th minute Everton goal condemned them to a second straight defeat. They will be anxious for a win here, as three of their next four Premiership games are away from the Reebok, where they have won just once on their travels this season.
Bolton are 15/8 with Pagebet to move out of the bottom three with a win, with Man. City are 13/10 at VCbet to regain some consistency.

Newcastle United v Aston Villa, Monday, Setanta Sports 1, 8:00pm
Newcastle host Aston Villa on Monday night as they look to build on Tuesdays 2-1 win over West Brom. The returning Joey Barton was the unlikely hero that night as he scored the opening goal on 9 minutes, successfully converting a penalty following Donks challenge on Ameobi. Obafemi Martins then doubled their advantage four minutes before half time, and despite Ishmael Millers 53rd minute goal the Magpies held on for Joe Kinnears first win. Villa are in a terrific vein of form which has seen them climb to fourth in the table, and Wednesday’s 3-2 win over Blackburn showcased their best qualities. They came from a goal down to beat a resilient Rovers side, with Gareth Barry scoring for the third successive game. On current form their aim of a Champions League spot is looking promising.
Newcastle are 17/10 outsiders with BGbet to claim a second successive win, while Pagebet make Aston Villa favourites at 13/10 to push for a Champions League spot with a win.
