English Premier League 2012 Preview: Chelsea vs Stoke City Predictions

Can Chelsea get back in form? or will Stoke City claim their 1st win?. We'll see as the Premier League moves forward into the season. Catch real time updates on your favorite English Premier League Match.

Chelsea Preview

Chelsea comes into this match after a long rest (last match played August 31) against Atletico Madrid (H). That match was one for Chelsea to forget after suffering an embarrassing loss 1-4 in front of their home crowd and Super Cup on the line. The Blues looked like they forgot what got them their looking completely loss in that match. Hopefully, we’ll see a much more lively team when they face Stoke City.

Stoke City Preview

In a much needed win Stoke City will look to get their 1st win of the premier league. They come into this match with 3 equalizers(Yes! 3 draws) recently coming off of a 2-2 draw against Wigan Athletic. Stoke City is looking to get some offense going from anywhere 3 of their midfielders are tied with only 1 goal apiece. On a positive note Stoke City newly signed Charlie Adam will look to provide the offensive spark that is greatly needed for Stoke City.

Chelsea vs Stoke City Predictions: 3-1

Chelsea playing at home will get them back on track especially matching up with a poor Stoke City team. Stoke City will not have enough time to groom Charlie Adam in their offense. More of a concern is that Stoke City on defense can’t hold a glass of water. Look for Chelsea to dominate this game from start to finish.

English Premier League 2012 Preview: Newcastle United vs Norwich City Predictions

Norwich City is still looking for their 1st win in the Barclays can They do it against an injured Newcastle United. Catch real time updates on your favorite English Premier League Match.

Newcastle United Preview

Bad news comes at the wrong time for Newcastle. Goalkeeper Tim Krul (Strined Muscle) and Team Captain Fabricio Coloccini (ankle injury) will have to sit out against Everton on the 17th. It hurts Newcastle because as it is the team is also suffering key losses for Pardew who walk into the match without four first-team players, with Cheick Tiote and Danny Simpson will also be unavailable for journey to Everton.

Norwich City Preview

Norwich City came into the match looking for their 1st win in the Barclays. It looks like they’ll have to wait another week. Norwich City was only able to come out with an equalizer today against West Ham 0-0 (H). Norwich City was able to get more attempts at the goal 25(10) to West Ham’s 14(3). The match was a complete lull as both teams looked loss and was without a strategy. West Ham had their opportunities to win as well but just couldn’t put it together. Norwich City’s offense once again was nowhere to be found.

Newcastle United vs Norwich City Predictions: 3-1

Despite the key injuries for Newcastle the fact that they are at home and also that they are playing a dismal Norwich City is enough for Newcastle to pull a win out. The fact is Norwich City is horrible so, it allows Newcastle United some breathing room.

English Premier League 2012 Preview: Southampton vs Aston Villa Predictions

Can Southampton redeem themselves after the bloodbath they took? Let's see what Aston Villa has to say about this. Catch real time updates on your favorite English Premier League Match.

Southampton Preview

Southampton took a bad beating from Arsenal losing 6-1(Yes! That was the score in yesterdays match) as Southampton remains at the bottom of the pack. Arsenal jumped out to a 4-0 lead and then finished off with 2 goals in the second half. The visiting Southampton looked like a deer caught looking at the headlights just completely lost. Southampton plays no defense what so ever and I don’t wonder why they are at the bottom of the standings.

Aston Villa Preview

Manager Paul Lambert couldn’t find a better time to get his 1st win then yesterday as Aston Villa shut out Swansea City making it their 1st win in 13 tries going back to March 10th 2012. Their scores came from newly signed Matthew Lowton and Christian Benteke. Benteke just recently transferred from Genk. Aston Villa definitely looks like a new team also well prepared to really compete in the Barclay’s Premier League.

Southampton vs Aston Villa Predictions: 2-1

Southampton playing at home will comeback from their embarrassing loss yesterday. I see this match close but well fought out. This is a match that Southampton must win to get out of the doghouse.

English Premier League 2012 Preview: Manchester City vs Sunderland Predictions

Sunderland will attempt to halt Manchester City's home dominance in the English Premier League when the teams meet on Saturday. Catch real time updates on your favorite English Premier League Match.

Manchester City Preview

Roberto Mancini insists he will solve Manchester City's problems quickly as the Premier League champions head into a crucial clash against Sunderland on Saturday. Manchester City are undefeated in their past 32 league matches at Etihad Stadium and Roberto Mancini's squad has also won just one of their last five games against this weekend's opponents.

Manchester City have come a long way from being a relative unknown in third division English football to a club that’s today a serious title contender in the Premier League. So what could be the reason behind Manchester City’s string of poor results in Europe? It’s hard to explain why a coach of Mancini’s calibre struggles to dominate in Europe. Let’s face it – throughout his managerial career, Mancini has had a dismal string of results in Europe.

Sunderland Preview

Sunderland boss Martin O'Neill brings the Black Cats back to the Etihad on Saturday for the weekend's first match in the Premier League. "Do I despair? I must admit I do throw my hands up when I see some of them," O’Neill said.

Sunderland's start to this season has been rather curious. They are unbeaten in five matches, but one win and four draws have yielded but seven points. Unbeaten is unbeaten, and coupled with Manchester City's worrisome defensive play shows this fixture to be a trouble spot for the home side. Sunderland will dearly miss captain Lee Cattermole's typically physical and chippy contribution in the midfield.

English Premier League 2012 Preview: Chelsea vs Norwich City Predictions

Chelsea welcomes relegation-zone dwellers Norwich City to Stamford Bridge on Saturday. Catch real time updates on your favorite English Premier League Match.

Chelsea Preview

Roberto Di Matteo has won over his critics. What must be a cause for worry though is that Chelsea are yet to hit their straps offensively. With the talent at Di Matteo's disposal, there is no doubt that this side should be more potent with their offense.

Norwich City Preview

After an explosive start to the season, Hazard has cooled down a little bit, but that can only be a worry for Chris Hughton's men. Chris is one troubled manager as his side have only managed to gather 3 points after 3 draws and 3 losses this season. The spirits in Norwich City will also be at their lowest. Norwich, who have made their worst-ever start in the league, were thrashed 5-3 by Liverpool last weekend. If Norwich do pull off the impossible, it could help stabilize their rocking ship as they now seem to be heading towards a relegation battle this season.
