City v Chelsea tops our Premier League predictions

December 4, 2009

Amid World Cup draw fever, we have the far from minor matter of our Premier League predictions competition.

Most of us have had the bad luck of the Irish of late (Incompetence, surely Ed) and this weekend offers some ponderous fixtures.

Manchester City v Chelsea is probably the standout game. Moneybags City have had a string of draws but leaders Chelsea are in great league form. How do you square that circle? Just to be mean, I’ll make that our double pointer.

Remember one point for a correct result and five for a correct score. Please play along in the comments.
Here’s the panel ’s standings, predictions and this weekend’s games.
