Chelsea v Everton 2011 5.30pm Stamford Bridgr

Manchester United lost 2 points earlier today as Liverpool held the champions at 1 a piece. This provides Chelsea with a great opportunity to move within the top 3, within 1 point of Man Utd who are still setting the standard under Sir Alex.

Chelsea still have bags of competitiveness and ambition in the Premier League. History suggests that André Villas-Boas will get one season to deliver major silverware to the Bridge and he will be out. With Drogba hitting decent form at the minute (no Torres today) the pressure will be on the Toffees from the very first minute. However, David Moyes has a great record travelling to Stamford Bridge as Everton haven't lost there in the last 5 years. The lunchtime result could motivate Chelsea that bit more today so I predict a modest home victory.

Premier League review 15th/16th October 2011

Premiership review 15th/16th October 2011

The first game of the day is the big fixture - the noon kickoff is at Anfield as the reigning champions travel across Lancashire to Merseyside. A huge match for Dalglish as the rivalry will be considerable as it always is. You would still bet on Man Utd being unbeaten at the end of tomorrow though. Wayne Rooney's ban has taken a lot of the sporting headlines but I am sure that he will be looking forward to just getting on with his football.

A difficult match for Mancini after some more negative publicity with Carlos Tevez, who apparently now may never play for Manchester City ever again. Irrespective of this I think they will comfortably beat Aston Villa with their slick, professional squad.

Both North London clubs (Arsenal and Tottenham play the North East clubs (Sunderland and Newcastle) on Sunday - Wenger in need of all 3 points. Spurs haven't suffered from off pitch behaviour from Modric like City have with Tevez and are coming into decent form so I expect the lily whites to get at least a point tomorrow if not all 3. We shall see, I may have just electronically cursed my beloved Spurs!

Anyhow - here are the games - anyone who is attending a match, watching Super Soccer Saturday or just good old MOTD enjoy the full Premiership programme - I for one don't miss the internationals once they come to an end!
