| Sir Alex Ferguson with his record 25 years of excellence. Well rewarded with a Sir Alex Ferguson Stand. |
MUN: Yet another mediocre display by the Red Devils, but three points, again. Good enough to celebrate Ferguson's 25 year anniversary at Old Trafford anyway.
Lack of confidence is the situation that perfectly describes Fergie's team right now, just give them some time and they will bounce back.
SUN: Not surprising to see them struggling upfront yet again. Brown was generous enough to present his ex-manager a big gift. It should be yet another mid table finish for them, despite constant investments into the team.
Watch: Nani
Newcastle 2-1 Everton
NEW: Another good victory to make sure that they are still third place on the league. The first goal was rather lucky, but Ryan Taylor's fantastic strike was a perfect piece of beauty, both the trajectory and power of the shot.
Defensively it's still solid, but that should be the end anyway with Manchester City, Manchester United and Chelsea coming up next.
EVE: The same old story about finishing ability. Tim Cahill was far from his best in goal poaching form, and Saha was never sharp enough to score frequently.
Maybe an ala Chicharito forward is what Moyes needs in January.
Drop: NEW defence
Arsenal 3-0 West Brom
ARS: The Gunners surely are on full throttle now with their fourth consecutive league victory. Van Persie's greatness is certainly unmatched across the league. A must have at this stage given the easy fixtures ahead despite such scary price.
Vermaelen provided a strong return with a goal, a clean sheet and 3 points bonus. Still, wait and see if he can reorganise the defence and continue his strong presence in attack as well. Great potential as always.
WBA: Another painful defeat. Continue to play over defensively against stronger teams. Stay away at the moment.
Pick: Van Persie, Gervinho
Watch: Arteta, Brunt, Odemwingie
Aston Villa 3-2 Norwich
AST: Agbonlahor continues to terrorise defences as he provided 1 goal, 2 assist performance at Villa park. Undisputed form especially in fantasy at such low price.
Darren Bent scored two, but I don't see the value in him when Agbonlahor is cheaper and more consistent. Unless you are planning to get both of them.
NOR: Holt has finally found his old self as he continues his pivotal performance with 2 assists. Great hope for survival if he can maintain such form.
Pick: Agbonlahor
Watch: Holt, Bent
Blackburn 0-1 Chelsea
BLA: Constructed the game well but finishing is really an issue. Will need to seriously get a decent goal poacher in the winter transfer market.
CHE: Lampard scored a crucial goal for them. He is surely returning with his form but whether he can hit 10 goals again this season is still a big riddle.
Torres was very disappointing with another open goal miss.
Watch: Lampard
Drop: BLA players
Liverpool 0-0 Swansea
LIV: Their fantastic 'shot on frame' form continues as Carroll made it the eleventh time for them to hit the crossbar and post this season in a clear cut chance. Wasted.
The old problem to score goals persist and remains a big headache for Kenny Dalglish. Stay away from their attackers.
Reina need to work out much more than usual in this game to hold the team goalless. Good news for Enrique owners anyway.
NOR: Vorm made a spectacular save against Glen Johnson's hi-speed volley. Incredible shot, but even better save. Marvellous fantasy keeper.
Pick: Vorm, Enrique
Drop: LIV offence
QPR 2-3 Manchester City
QPR: Strong fighting spirit. Jay Bothroyd was magnificent and should become the focal point for Neil Warnock's team to attack. Watch him.
MCI: Tough game due to Champions League fatigue, but won eventually. Silva remains a hot commodity, playing the most minutes among the productive attackers.
Savic looked very shaky at the back, but thankfully Kompany should return the next game.
Pick: Bothroyd, Silva
Wolves 3-1 Wigan
WOL: It's all about Jamie O'Hara. He has created lots of troubles to Wigan's defence. Superb.
WIG: Al-Habsi was busy throughout the game with several double saves but being attacked continuously it's impossible to keep the goal clean.
Pick: O'Hara
Watch: Al-Habsi
Bolton 5-0 Stoke City
BOL: Sweet revenge as the early referee dispute surely helped them a lot. Eagles and Klasnic as usual are the strong bargains upfront.
STO: Begovic never really recovered from the early shockingly unfair goal.
Pick: Eagles, Klasnic
Fulham 1-3 Tottenham
FUL: Pretty unlucky as they face a very formidable Brad Friedel on that day.
TOT: Bale continued his form surprisingly with one goal and one assist. Solid.
The most impressive one is of course the 40-year-old stopper, Friedel, who made several key saves to ensure Spurs' victory.
Watch: Bale
