Each week, I will now post my predictions for the weekend, and see if i can get more right than BBC pundit Mark Lawrenson.
This week, for the 15/16 January, the predictions below stand.

| Man City v Wolves | 4-3 | 2-0 | 4-0 |
| Stoke v Bolton | 2-0 | 2-1 | 0-0 |
| Sunderland v Newcastle | 1-1 | 2-0 | 1-3 |

| West Ham v Arsenal | 0-3 | 0-2 | 1-2 |
| Wigan v Fulham | 1-1 | 1-1 | 2-1 |
This weekend promises to be a true cracker with no less than four derby games, a battle of the promoted teams, and United travelling to Spurs, but how can you predict results in the Premier League at the moment?
Blackburn are no lightweights and won't be pushed around but have an awful record of late at Stamford Bridge, having lost 5-0 last season and only scoring once in their last six visits.
On paper, it doesn't look good and one player who usually plays well against Blackburn is Nicolas Anelka, who has scored four in his last five start against the North West outfit. Anelka also had a good record against Rovers for City and may be one to bank on for the fantasy league team,providing he starts ahead of Solomon Kalou.
Rovers fans, players and staff, will be sick of the sight of Nicolas Anelka, who has always scored goals against them.
Frank Lampard and Didier Drogba both scored in the 5-0 victory last season and if they return to form, it could be a long, hard Saturday afternoon for Steve Kean's side.
Another team who are due a big score are Manchester City, who face a Wolves side who beat them 2-1 at Molineux in October.
The records don't make good reading for City fans and, although they have won their last 3 home games against Wolves 1-0, although the Midland side won 1-0 on the previous three occasions at Maine Road.
City's home form this season, however, is very good and they have only lost one of their last seven at Eastlands, and winning four of their last five.
Edin Dzeko will be hoping to win lots of trophies at Manchester City and they can go top with a win at home to Wolves.
It will be interesting to see whether new signing Edin Dzeko makes his first start alongside Carlos Tevez, with Mario Balotelli out injured, and City will be all out to claim top spot before their city rivals travel to Spurs on Sunday.
At the bottom, West Brom will be looking to stop the rot against a Blackpool side who will be high on confidence after their 2-1 midweek win against Liverpool.
The Baggies have lost their last 6 in all competitions and in the preview on who I think will go down, I identified their lack of a natural goalscorer, a leaky defence, and a lack of discipline might send them down, but it's crucial they get something on Saturday.
Another few wins for Blackpool and they'll secure their place in the Premier League for a second season, a huge achievement for the smallest club in the league. Ian Holloway has brought the club on leaps and bounds and it wouldn't be a total surprise if they went to the Hawthorns and took three points, with DJ Campbell on fire and Charlie Adam running the midfield.
Gary Taylor-Fletcher and DJ Campbell were both on target against Liverpool on Wednesday.

Roberto Di Matteo simply has to get a result to stop the slide and I think they might, but it might not be three points which they desperately need.
You can take your pick for the game of the weekend, but I'd suggest that Sunderland will be all out for revenge after their 5-1 reverse to Newcastle not even 3 months ago.
Kevin Nolan scored a hat-trick against Sunderland last time the sides met.

It will be interesting to see whether Sunderland can find a better performance this time and I expect that, along with the game at White Hart Lane to be the pick of the action.
The final word, however, lies with West Ham, who simply have to beat Arsenal at home after Avram Grant was handed a stay of execution.
He might need something special but miracles do happen.
Good luck to everyone's teams this weekend.
