Prediction League Round 8

The Champions League resumes this week and we already have some exquisite fixtures, where some teams will try to confirm their superiority while others will try to show why they are among the 16 best teams.

Liverpool and Arsenal will try to put their FA Cup disappointments behind them against the Milan teams, while Chelsea and United will be expected to continue where they left in their last matches.

This week promises to be explosive and the possibilities for upsets are not that high, but who knows?

The list of fixtures for this week are:

AS Roma v/s Real Madrid
Liverpool v/s Inter
Olympiakos v/s Chelsea
Shalke 04 v/s Porto
Arsenal v/s AC Milan

Prediction League Round 7

This week will be FA Cup week, and the tie of this round will undoubtedly be Manchester United v/s Arsenal at Old Trafford. The Red Devils will try to keep their slim chances of a Treble alive, after their poor performance in the Manchester derby last week. Sir Alex Ferguson's men will try to redeem themselves in front of their supporters. Fabregas and company will without doubt deal a serious psychological blow to United's title aspirations by trying to win at Old Trafford in the cup, before the league meeting scheduled for later.

In the other notable ties, Chelsea and Liverpool are expected to have an easy passage into the next round, unless a major disaster occurs! The FA Cup always provides some magic and expect some incredible feats this week!

Chelsea v/s Huddersfield Town
Liverpool v/s Barnsley
Manchester United v/s Arsenal

Both of them will try to continue their run of successive league wins. Chelsea also will be away at Portsmouth and it will not be an easy ride for them.

Chelsea will be at home against Reading, and maybe we can expect Anelka to score again and Shaun Wright-Phillips to continue his goalscoring exploits. Derby County will be against Manchester City and they will attempt to restore some pride by trying to avoid defeat, following their shameful performance in the FA Cup. West Ham will entertain Liverpool at Upton Park, and they will surely attempt to inflict more miseries on the Kops.

Some of my football fanatic friends and myself thought about how to take our passion of football a step further, and how to stop swearing at each other via MSN, and came up with this idea! For each match day, there will be a list of fixtures on the blog of one among us, where you will be able to predict the scores in your comments. For the time being we are starting with the English Premier League, but other matches also will be added as the season progresses, like FA Cup matches, Champions League matches, and International matches.

Points will be awarded as follows in our Prediction League:
- For a correct prediction for a match, you get 3 pts
- For correctly identifying the goalscorer, you get 1 additional pt [You need to be explicit, for e.g if Arsenal wins 3-0, and you put Hleb and Rosicky as scorers, you will NOT be awarded any points even if they scored. You should put the name of the goalscorer and the numbers of goals he'll score besides his name, like Hleb(2)]
- You may opt not to name the scorers, but remember that others might be correctly naming the scorers and getting more points
- If your score prediction is not correct, but your goalscorer prection is correct, you will only get points for guessing the correct scorer
- For correctly identifying someone who is sent off, you get 2 pts
- For contentious decisions or disagreements, we will seek opinions from everybody related to this post, and the decision taken from this step will be final.
- These set of rules may be amended to add more FUN!

8 teams from the Premier League have been selected, and you have to guess their scores and their scorers. These teams are:
Manchester United - Will they be Champs?
Arsenal - Will they be Champs?
Chelsea - Will they be Champs?
Liverpool - Will they be Champs?
