Weekend Football
Arsenal v Manchester United, Saturday, Sky Sports 1, 12:45pm
Arsenal face Manchester United as one of the biggest rivalries in English football is ignited again. Unusually for this fixture, neither of the two sides are at the top of the Premiership, and are already chasing early leaders Liverpool and Chelsea. Arsenal are in a relatively poor run of form, having been beaten in their last Premiership outing to Stoke, and only drawing their midweek Champions League game to Fenerbache. United are into top gear following a slow start, although they were also disappointed with a draw at Celtic in midweek. It could have been a lot worse for United though, as their equaliser came in the closing moments.
Arsenal are 9/5 with BGbet to overturn their poor form, while Man Utd are 5/4 with Pagebet to build on their recent success.

Liverpool v West Bromich Albion, Saturday, Setanta Sports 1, 5:30pm
Joint league leaders Liverpool will be aiming to take sole possession of the lead of the Premiership when they host West Brom at Anfield. They left it late in midweek in the Champions League against Atletico Madrid, an injury time Steven Gerrard penalty gaining a draw. West Brom will be looking to build on last weeks draw with Blackburn Rovers, which was so close to a win. An 89th minute goal from Rovers new boy Andrews sealed a point for Blackburn in what was a fiery match littered with poor refereeing decisions.
Liverpool are the 2/9 favourites with BGbet to go top of the Premiership outright, while West Brom are 14/1 underdogs with Centrebet to win for the first time in six games.

Blackburn Rovers v Chelsea, Sunday, Sky Sports 1, 1:30pm
Chelsea meet Blackburn on Sunday at Stamford Bridge, and could be chasing Liverpool by that time. They will be glad to get back to Premiership action following their defeat in midweek, when they were beaten 3-1 by Roma. They were in superb form before that defeat, with 5-0 and 3-0 wins over Sunderland and Hull consecutively in the run up to that game. Blackburn will feel confident if they go into the last five minutes only a goal behind, as they have scored in the last five minutes of their previous three Premiership games.
Blackburn are 11/2 with Bgbet to upset Scolari's men, with Chelsea 1/2 at VCbet to maintain their position at the top of the Premiership.

Fulham v Newcastle United, Sunday, Sky Sports 1, 4:00pm
Fulham welcome a rejuvenated Newcastle side on Sunday, looking for its third straight win under Joe Kinnear. Consecutive wins over West Brom and Aston Villa have the Magpies looking up the Premiership, rather than down, and Obafemi Martins in particular is in a rich vein of form. He has three goals in the last two games, and Fulham will look to stop him. Fulham will be looking for some consistency following recent reults, and will be glad they are back at Craven Cottage following last weeks defeat to Everton at Goodison Park on Sunday
Fulham are 13/10 favourites with Centrebet to claim a second successive home win, while VCbet make Newcastle 11/5 outsiders to extend their winning streak.
