At the weekend the big four all won. Therefore, there were no significant changes at the top of the table. Arsenal were lucky to get another victory over Spurs as Keane missed a penalty. United were lucky too in their match against Everton, as Ronaldo fired in a late winner from the penalty spot. Liverpool beat Portsmouth at Anfield easily and Chelsea ground out another narrow win, this time over Blackburn. Here are all the results, and my predicted scorelines are in brackets.

Arsenal 2-1 Tottenham (3-2)

Aston Villa 1-1 Manchester City (2-1)

Bolton 3-0 Birmingham (1-0)

Fulham 1-1 Wigan (2-2)

Liverpool 4-1 Portsmouth (1-1)

Middlesborough 1-2 West Ham (2-1)

Reading 2-1 Sunderland (2-1)
Manchester United 2-1 Everton (3-0)

Newcastle 2-2 Derby (4-1)

Blackburn 0-1 Chelsea (1-1)

I got FIVE results right and ONE perfect score.


Now we are in the middle of the festive season, with games coming thick and fast. There are 9 fixtures on the Boxing Day, with only Man City and Blackburn playing their match on Thursday. Manchester United face Sunderland at the stadium of light which promises to be a fiesty affair. Despite all of Roy Keane's efforts, I expect United to get the 3 points they need. Arsenal make a short trip to Fratton Park where Portsmouth have not been excellent this season. I think the Gunners to be victorious in this encounter by a single-goal margin. Liverpool travel to Pride Park to face Derby, and I can't see anything but a comfortable win for Liverpool. Chelsea meet Aston Villa at Stamford Bridge. As Chelsea's home form is impeccable, I expect them to continue this run and grind out another result against Villa, playing in a boring and dull way again. Here all my predictions for the Boxing day fixtures.

Sunderland v Manchester United 0-2

Portsmouth v Arsenal 0-1

Chelsea v Aston Villa 2-1

Derby v Liverpool 0-4

Birmingham v Middlesborough 1-1

Everton v Bolton 3-0

Tottenham v Fulham 3-1

West Ham v
Reading 2-0

Wigan v Newcastle 1-1

Manchester City v Blackburn 3-1
