We're finally back to Premiership action this weekend and not a moment too soon as we have some absolutely quality match-ups set to kick off. We'll see the entire big four in action on Saturday this time around and Chelsea face a tricky draw away to Aston Villa in the early match. I expect both teams could be tired for this fixture, especially the Chelsea side who were deployed to all four corners of the globe. The Blues are still the odds-on favourites with William Hill, carrying a 4/5 price. The Villains are available at an enticing 18/5 and if Agbonlahor can get in behind the defence, I think he should get results. The draw is 12/5 and I think this match could really come down to the last 10 minutes. Chelsea usually just edge those types of matches. Arsenal vs Birmingham seems to be a foregone conclusion but I wonder how the effect of Carson Yeung's takeover could affect Brum's form in this match. I feel as though the 16/1 price is worth the punt if you hold the team close to your heart. Not much value on 1/6 Arsenal and the draw is well-priced at 6/1. Birmingham just don't seem to score enough goals to trouble the quality teams. Everton take on plucky Wolves and the Toffees are available at a 4/9 price with William Hill. You can back a draw at 3/1 or take the visiting side at a 7/1 price. I think Everton should take this one with minimal fuss. Bolton will be coming hard at Manchester United and I expect this one to be a real tussle in central midfield. I can see tackles everywhere, some dodgy some not, and this one looks like the type of match where Darren Fletcher could be of vital importance. Dimitar Berbatov will get the start here and I expect to see Sir Alex Ferguson put out a very dynamic formation. United will go for this one and they won't drop more points after the draw with Sunderland. Pompey face off against half of their old team when they take on Spurs this Saturday. The London side are the odds-on favourites at a 4/5 price with the South-Coasters available at 18/5. The draw is 12/5 but we just haven't seen many draws this year. Pompey will either grind this one (thanks to a heroic performance from David James) or get absolutely walloped. I'm going with the latter. Stoke will see their match with West Ham as a real opportunity to pick up a few much-needed points. The Hammers are 12/5 while Stoke carry a 23/20 listing. The draw is 23/10 and if there is going to be one that day, I think this is the match. Sunderland proved they can tangle with the big kids when they pushed Manchester United all the way last week. That point will have buoyed them and they look to have the best strikeforce outside the Big 4. This will be a very entertaining match and I will be backing each team at the end of an accumulator. I think Sunderland have a chance at this one and the absence of Steven Gerrard and Fernando Torres is just the opening that Sunderland need. The Black Cats are 14/5 while the draw is 23/10.
