A lot of games today and I have an early view which is I admit based more on weather and behind the scenes action than on sport based factor. Many positive handicaps as I think it will be hard to break theoretically weaker teams and in Christmas period we generally not see many goals.

First game is ne of the most obvious for me as West Ham has no choice must start collecting points now, before games with Chelsea or Arsenal come again. This team has a lot of FA connections and gets a helping hand many times should be relegated many times but still treading above the water. This seasoon thy just have to stay in league pressure is huge. Team has no manager I mean no manager hired on content-related basics just on national basics and results are poor. Team has interesting squad and plays better than results indicate and has no other choice tha go for a win in every match every point is priceless. Fulham trip they definitely treat as opportunity to make some points up and know this rival very well. West Ham were so close many times to away win (hit the post last week in Blackburn and being much better in second half) so they will go for point(s) on Craven Cottage. I think West Ham has squad able to get at least draw from this game.

Blackburn new manager without experience and I wonder who gives ideas to new club owners - they hired manager delivering constatntly certain level of services and entertainment and hired Mr Nobody. I bet they will pay for this team will struggle players like chris Samba will leave - Stoke are vultures in such situations and will go for a win here.

Liverpool woeful away form and another game they seem to gt nothing away because of Hodgson policy nothing more to talk about here as game could be called off - regardless of absences and rivals Liverpool should be naver favourite in away games

Bolton - WBA is a bit suspiciously high odds on home win taht's why I will not choose straight home win which in normal cirrcumstaces is the most obvious pick. 70% chances home team will win here but they already stumbled with Blackpool so the handicap -0.25 seems to be logical conclusion

Everton - Birmingham after away win with City where they had 4 shots and zero corners in whole game they have to face defensive-minded team quite hard to beat although rarely winning. I am sure Everton in home games where they seem to be clear favourite will be in trouble to break the opponent. They lost ad drew many 'easy' home games this season and I will never trust this team without quality strikers anymore. Birmingham should not even lose this game but + 1 handicap is so large it is hard not to take. One of the two most obvious picks for today

MU nearly always struggling this season winning the most games with one goal margin scoring often in injury time but they still win a lot and are clear leaders (with two games in hand). Sudderland for this game has suddenly seven absentees (which I thing will be fully back for next game) and I think what is going one. The fact is both managers are friends but for Steve Bruce duels with Ferguson are prestigious and he gives a hard fight. Even if United will winwith one goal margin handicap is on our side - playing Rooney means relax for Sunderland goalkeeper it should not be MU - Blackburn repeat

Man City will meet definitely hard resistance in Newcastle - home team has big firepower: Carroll, Nolan and will give a fight like in the game with Chelsea about month ago. City is a bit better team and last home defeat should help them to put things together and go for a win if they still want to be in contention. They won clearly a lot away games this season and in my opinion have slight but edge here. Away win DNB is also option because to be honest draw is more realistic result than away win - City will not have an easy life in that game

Wolves is a 'sheam'  and odds for home win in Wigan game are far too short. It could have a point if it would be an arranged home win which will not be a case. Relegation battle and away team will give a desperate fight. They have 'striker killer' Al Habsi on goal which already denied many teams from scoring in last months. Wigan is not rival you can win 4-0 or 6-0 anymore for some time. They have players which can have a bright moments out of the blue and experience from rescuing themselves from relegation. They have to fight today.

Aston Villa is youngster's selling club according to Randy Lerner and club will be in huge trouble this and maybe next season. It is their choice I only regret beguiled fans which are 90% of them very nice and friendly people. Some power is steering from above and behind and club with heart and tradition is a business tool in last fourteen games they won only two with surrounding clubs (WBA and Wolves) I see no way they win today with wide developed and rostered guests. Away win DNB

GL and cheers
