Brrrr, winters come to blighty. & while its had an effect on some of the lower league matches, fret not Premier League fans, all of the top tier's games are going ahead at the time of posting this thread.

Heres the table as of today



Done and dusted if you ask me. Maybe replace QPR with Southampton and move Arsenal into 4th, but who knows?

Here are the weekends fixtures that stretch through to Wednesday next week

19 Jan 2013 - Premier League

Liverpool v Norwich 15:00
Man City v Fulham 15:00
Newcastle v Reading 15:00
Swansea v Stoke 15:00
West Ham v QPR 15:00
Wigan v Sunderland 15:00

West Brom v Aston Villa 17:30

20 Jan 2013 - Premier League

Chelsea v Arsenal 13:30
Tottenham v Man Utd 16:00

Mon 21 Jan 2013 - Premier League

Southampton v Everton 20:00

Wed 23 Jan 2013 - Premier League

Arsenal v West Ham 19:45 e. (This fixture is a postponed match from a few weeks ago)


Four of the top 6 play each other on Sunday, with Chelsea v Arsenal being my pick of the weekend. It will do well to live up to last seasons game though, which finished 3-5 back in October 2011. Chelsea will be looking forward to the return of their Captain John Terry, who could make his first start since November.



Here he is from that fabled game from early on last season.

Meanwhile 5th place Everton travel to Southampton on Monday. This should be interesting as the Saints sacked their most recent manager (Nigel Adkins) only yesterday, after a pretty successful season or two guiding Southampton from League 1 to the Premier League.



Mauricio Pochettino (pictured) is his successor, having managed only one club prior to this appointment at the Spanish side Espanyol.

Norwich are going to win and at the end of the game Holt will reveal a hidden message under his shirt that says Grant Fucking Holt and then GFH capital come out and Howson and Snodgrass both reveal hidden Leeds shirts and they all embrace in the centre of the pitch

Yet another Saturday game so I can't watch my brave mags. Predicting a stunning 4 nil victory, putting a known championship team firmly in their place. Tomorrow Alan swoops for cavani, we continue unbeaten throughout 2013.

City unchanged, I don't think that happens often it's because everyone else is injured or in Africa

Hart, Zabaleta, Kompany (c), Nastasic, Clichy, Garcia, Barry, Milner, Tevez, Silva, Dzeko

Sturridge and Suarez both start, Jones in goal because Reina has a thigh strain (I hope it's not serious )

I thought Nasri had another match of his ban left. But I'm very pleased he doesn't immediately make it back in the team, wouldn't deserve it if he did

Maybe you're not counting the FA Cup game against Watford? He missed Stoke-Watford-Arsenal. Mancini said that Milner would keep his spot in the pre-match press conference.

Ahh, that's where I went wrong. Those press conferences are a joke, it's a million questions about Kompany's rescinded card and Guardiola going to Bayern in the last one. once or twice a question about the actual match asked

e: hahahaha I never know anything when the gently caress did West Ham loan Chamakh? this is hilarious, he's starting

Full team:

Liverpool: Jones, Wisdom, Carragher, Agger, Johnson, Gerrard, Lucas, Henderson, Suarez, Sturridge, Downing. Subs: Gulacsi, Allen, Borini, Sterling, Shelvey, Skrtel, Robinson.

Surprised to see Carragher out there, guess Rodgers is pretty confident of a result. Hendo gets the start he deserves, unlike Downing who starts without deserving it. I would've preferred Borini but I guess he's not fit.

Why isn't Bradley Johnson (the best Leeds) involved?

Bassong's out, we're hosed. Missing two of our best defenders and our keeper is a recipe for disaster. Hughton's decided not to pick Hoolahan as well.

Bunn, Martin, Ryan Bennett, Turner, Garrido, Elliott Bennett, Johnson, Howson, Snodgrass, Tettey, Holt. Subs: Rudd, Jackson, Pilkington, Hoolahan, Barnett, Tierney, Kane.
