13th December 2009 Premier League fixtures

Liverpool v Arsenal, Anfield 4pm

With the race for 3rd and 4th positions truly on in the Barclays Premier League, fixture of the weekend has to be the Sunday 4pm match - Liverpool v Arsenal. Rafa's boys have failed to quality for the next stage of the Champions League, after their 1st team being weakened by injuries to Torres and Aquilani. Both players are expected to play. The Gunners are hoping to get Eduardo and Rosicky back after injury but it could be too soon for both. My guess would be a tight, low scoring match that ends in a draw.

So what about the other contenders? Spurs have wobbled a little bit since destroying Wigan Atheltic but you would expect them to get back to winning ways against Wolves at home. Villa have the toughest challenge any Premiership team could have - away at Old Trafford. Rich boys Manchester City are away at the Reebok - always a tough one but Mark Hughes seems to be turning a corner so I'd say they'd beat Bolton.

Enjoy . . .
