Sports Trader premiership picks - 6 - 8 December 2008

The Premiership is proving to be an intriguing race this year and no one side is running off with it early in the season.

Table wise - here is the Top 6

1. Liverpool - 34
2. Chelsea - 33
3. Man Utd - 28 (1 game in hand over the others)
4. Arsenal - 26
5. Aston Villa - 25
6. Hull - 23

(Everton & Portsmouth are on 22 points each in 7th and 8th)

Saturday fixture
Fulham v Man City - Man City win
Bolton v Chelsea - Chelsea win
Arsenal v Wigan - Arsenal win
Blackburn v Liverpool - Liverpool win
Hull v Middlesbrough - Draw
Newcastle v Stoke - Draw
Man Utd v Sunderland - Man Utd win

No real bogey fixtures that I can see this week, but a lot will depend on which Arsenal team decides to show up at the Emirates Stadium. Newcastles very average form looks likely to continue against Stoke.

More conservative punters might want to go with a draw in the Fulham / Man City fixture.

Sunday Fixtures
West Brom v Portsmouth - Portsmouth win
Everton v Aston Villa - Draw

Monday fixture
West Ham v Tottenham - Draw

Tottenham can't seem to get any real momentum so I'm going to stick with draw here.

Happy hunting....
