Fixtures:
Watford v Plymouth Fulham v Wolves
Birmingham v Soton Villa v Liverpool
Man United v Charlton Chelsea v Man City

Watford v Plymouth Likely Lineup;
Lloris:GK,Clyne:RB,Rose:LB,Stones:CR,Kompany:CL,Dier:AM,De Bruyne:RH,Pogba:DY,Eriksen:TM,Kane:CF,Bale:LH
Cech:GK,Bellerin:RB,Gibbs:LB,Fernandinho:AM,Sterling:DR,Mustafi:CL,Welbeck:CF,Wilshere:TM,Ramsey:BW,Cole:DL,Alderweireld:CR

Well.. shock resuly of the season last week? Watford gtting beaten by Wolves and even outplayed juding by the chances created by the home team. How will Watford respond this week? Did they go in for Sunday training or did the boss chauk it down to a bad day at the office? A sign of champions is how they respond to these sort of results.. will we see rooney back in the starting lineup ? Plymouth seem to be enjoying themselves this season and couple well be challaging for the title as they should be! The slick passing of TIC enforced by a BW seem's to be a good balance and suits his players. Big test this week, coming away with a draw would be respectable however Ben might be trying to capatlise on wounded Watford.

Fulham v Wolves
Reina:GK,Kolarov:LB,Coleman:RB,Skrtel:CR,Ranocchia:CL,Schweinsteiger:AM,Zabaleta:BW,Negredo:CF,Sanchez:ST,Walcott:S2,Toure:DY
Hennessey:GK,Zuiverloon:RB,Dijks:LB,Fer:AM,Davies:CL,Stearman:CR,Sinclair:RW,De Guzman:DY,Wolfswinkel:CF,Van Persie:TM,Van La Parra:LW
Shock for the fulham manager sitting at the summit of the league... Feeling a little dizzy, last season spent most of it looking up with a stiff neck fearing for relegation. However not being able to capatilise on a aging Soton side might become a regular feeling. Will the aging players from fulham see out a season or will reinforcements be needed ? As for Wolves... Proving not to be fodder this season with the rejuvenated RVP showing his class to prove he's still got it.

Birmingham v Soton
Krul:GK,Rafael:RB,Clichy:LB,Wanyama:CL,Evans:CR,Blind:AM,Fellaini:BW,Herrera:DY,Payet:TM,Nani:ST,Lacazette:S2
Robles:GK,Cedric:RB,Baines:LB,Arteta:AL,Vidic:CL,Jagielka:CR,Petrovic:AR,Rondon:ST,Rodriguez:S2,Duricic:TM,Cork:DY

Well brum failed to show up to there last game which will have no doubt frustrated Rich, however i imagine they got the hair dryer treatment they much deserved and will be expected to put a Soton side to the sword this time out however as Soton proved last week they wont just take it and iwll hopefully try to control the game with the AM/AL protecting the defence allowing the front 3 to cause havoc. Will payet turn up this week or has he decided he wants a new challange ? How will Arteta and Vidic fair playing week in week out ? Surely they will need to rest to endure the rigors of the Premier league.

Villa v Liverpool
Butland:GK,Walker:RB,Davies:LB,Dembele:DL,Savic:CL,Keane:CR,Rabiot:AM,Paulinho:DR,Bony:CF,Silva:TM,Chamberlain:BW
Gulacsi:GK,Fabio:LB,Klavan:CL,Coates:CR,Flanagan:RB,Huddlestone:AM,Aquilani:PM,Zaha:RW,Slimani:CF,Tevez:TM,Moses:LW

Well it would seem master tactican that is Rob has managed to pull himself a team that is capable for playing in several different ways in order to ensure the points were at least shared away to a strong charlton side. How will Villa lineup this time? will they go all out to see how far they can stretch the liverpool side or will they play more careful given there strong perfroamce vs Brum? Liverpool seem to have changed there fortunes from last season to nearly being relegated to a strong start to the season.. Maybe i should have sold them Tevez.. Ahh hindsight!

Man United v Charlton
Szczesny:GK,Mendy:LB,Otamendi:CL,Williams:CR,Mclaughlin:RB,Sandro:BW,Albrighton:RW,Martial:ST,Janssen:CF,Gelson:PM,Boerrigter:LW
Ederson:GK,Danilo:RB,Cesar:LB,VanDijk:CR,Luiz:CL,Henderson:AM,Willian:DL,Lallana:DR,Coutinho:TM,Gabriel:ST,Firmino:S2

Well utd will have felt they did enough last week to take all the points and i dont think i will be saying that many times this season against City. However the players should keep there heads held high and take that form into this weeks game, will the home advantage count this week ? Will Gelson manage to pull the strings this week or will Charlton keep Utd on the back foot with there ever relentless attack with the Brazilian trio of Countinho/Gabirel/Firmino (CGF?) up front? I feel that the break for the Charlton boss has to come sooner rather then later. With only 1 point on the board charlton will be doing every they can to improve there fortunes on the pitch!

Chelsea v Man City
Siegrist:GK,Filipe:LB,Vlaar:CL,Lovren:CR,Wallace:RB,Anita:AM,Di Maria:DL,Falcao:ST,Afellay:TM,Remy:S2,Anderson:DR
Hart:GK,Cresswell:LB,Rudiger:CL,Smalling:CR,Richards:RB,Sane:DL,Drinkwater:DY,Dzeko:CF,Carroll:ST,Aguero:S2,Gundogan:DR

Chelsea started the season strong last season and have done so again this season with a what the boss will hope to have been a blip last week! Chelsea seem to have blended the cheifs and the indians well with there lineup. However will the fade away again come the middle of the season? Geoff will have been delighted his team kept the noisy neighbours quiet last week! Always makes a victory beating the bitter rivals! City will no doubt rise to the occasion as the champions sure know how to! Will we see them at the top of the table at the end of this week?
