| The handshake routine will not be cancelled for Man Utd-Liverpool encounter. |
A pretty two poled feelings last week with Van Persie's owners laughing happily and the rest left stunned. Can RvP repeat the feat? Not so positive against in-form Sunderland.
The shocking news this week is no other than Fabio Capello's resignation. The Italian coach is not happy with FA's decision to strip Terry's captaincy and thus decided to leave. Harry Redknapp tops the list to replace him.
Game of the Week: MANCHESTER UNITED v LIVERPOOL
 |
| Can Berbatov get a start and hat-trick again? |
The usual handshake routine will not be cancelled according to FA and it will be interesting to see how Evra and Suarez react to each other. Strong personal rivalry. Luis Suarez will be eager to pay a revenge through his fancy footwork so expect tough times by defensive partnership of Evans and Ferdinand. In form Carroll could also be a big threat if he can get good aerial supplies by his teammates. Two big man to watch.
On the other side, all key players including the long missing Cleverly could be available for this game. It would be hard to predict the starting midfielders and forwards correctly, but I believe both Valencia and Rooney would still get the right to start and produce some havoc to one of the best defensive line (which might be without Jose Enrique) in the Premier League.
Surely it would be an intense game, but Liverpool's poor away attack (14 away goals only this season) will hinder their chances at Old Trafford. Expect good performances by the Red Devils.
Prediction: MUN 2-1 LIV
Pick: Valencia
Fantasy Game of the Week: SWANSEA v NORWICH
 |
| Sinclair has been pretty impressive this season. |
Sigurdsson has a flying start in the Premier League, while both Sinclair and Dyer are very threatening in the flanks. Up front they have Danny Graham who does a decent job as a forward. Expect goals from this quartet of attackers.
I will not be surprised if Norwich can score past the rubber hand Michel Vorm, but Swansea should really get a victory here.
Prediction: SWA 3-1 NOR
Pick: Sigurdsson, Sinclair, Dyer, Graham
Drop: NOR defence
Pick and Drop
Pick and Captain:
- Aguero - Broke his goal drought and that might be the opening of floodgate.
- Mata - Very pivotal in Chelsea's offence.
Pick:
- N'gog - Should score against Wigan.
- Zamora - Samba-less Blackburn will not have the quality to stop him.
- Van Persie - Always start him regardless of his opposition.

- AST defence - City's blades are sharp.
Transfer Traffic
Green light (buy):
- Richards - Good fixtures oncoming.

- Van Persie - Get him before his price reaches a prohibitive level.
- McClean - Superbly cheap and in form.
- Sigurdsson - The bandwagon should start in the next few gameweeks.
Yellow light (watch):
- Yakubu - Observe Blackburn's performance before getting him in.
- Assou-Ekkoto - Fantasy managers are overly optimistic on him.
- Mata - Chelsea's form is quite unstable at the moment.
- Kompany - Still not sure whether he will play this week.
Red light (sell):
