Well I should have went for Spurs v Everton last night, shouldn't I!!! I should have followed my gut instinct, but well there you go, its gone now.
Tonight I fancy the Portsmouth v Man Utd game to have more than 3 goals. United will be desperate to get back into winning ways, even though they generally start poorly most seasons, and they are missing Wayne Rooney. Tevez was the star player in the Premiership last season, and will make a huge impact at Utd. The one concern is the lack of recognisable strikers at the club, but they have various options who can score in Giggs and Ronaldo. Portsmouth are always strong against United at home, and I expect another strong performance. I'm not sure which way this game will go but I can see there being goals.
In the other matches, the only one I really have an opinion on is the Reading v Chelsea game, a game I can see finishing 1-0 Chelsea. Reading done well on Sunday, but more will be expected of them at home, so they may get stretched more. Sundays 3-2 win hopefully means a more exciting Chelsea team, but this was the type of games they scored in then shut up shop in last season, and I think they may well do the same tonight!!
