Week 5 set of fixtures may again bring us the twist and turns we have come to expect from the Premiership and with the big boys battling out on Sunday the Premier League is certainly hotting up.
Arsenal kicks off the weekend's actions as they prepare to travel to Ewood Park to face Blackburn on Saturday. Last time Arsenal played an away match in the EPL, the result can be described as nothing but a nightmare. Arsenal's last Premier League outing saw them unconvincingly defeat Swansea 1-0, thanks to a fortuitous Andrey Arshavin goal. Rovers have picked up just one point in four games and the club's fans have decided enough is enough, organising a protest against manager Steve Kean prior to the match.

Both sides have just scored three goals from their four matches but conceded plenty, meaning that a high-scoring game could be on the cards. In an ironic twist, the last Premier League game at Ewood Park was decided by an Arteta goal.
The final fixture on Saturday is Wolves v QPR which could be another close contest. Wolves were brought back down to earth after a great start with a 2-0 defeat against Tottenham last week so it will be interesting to see how they respond. QPR are shaping up to be the best of the promoted sides and have invested in quality players but still lack depth in quality. Wolves are my favourites for the game as they play free flowing football at home which should be enough for the win.

There are a further four fixtures on Sunday with Tottenham v Liverpool kicking off the action. This could be the game of the weekend with both sides evenly matched. Spurs were back to winning ways and were patient and impressive against Wolves. Whereas Liverpool were the latest side to fall at the Brittania Stadium, showing that they still have work to do. My prediction for this game is for a Tottenham to win although it will be a very close encounter.

Fulham welcome Man City to Craven Cottage in a game that could turn into a goal fest in a game for Man City could. Fulham have been very poor so far this season and are in serious need of an in form striker after a draw against Blackburn last week. Man City have hit the ground running so far with no team even coming close to challenging them in their first four matches. Man City will be the favourites in this one and it could be 3, or 4 goals.

The weekend ends with first real battle of the title contenders when Man Utd welcomes Chelsea to Old Trafford in the big super Sunday showdown and it will be the first real test for this Man Utd team as well as for manager Andre Villas-Boas. Manchester United have started well, sort of like Chelsea 12 months ago and have been scoring for fun and making history along the way, scoring the most goals in PL history after four fixtures. Chelsea have also been doing well having only dropped two points against Stoke and winning last three in a row. Chelsea will be confident heading to Old Trafford, having been the last team to defeat Man Utd at home. Both teams rested key players during their champions League mid week, shoeing how important both managers consider this fixture. My prediction is for a Man Utd win but just, they have been cruising so far and their defence has not being really tested and with doubts still over De Gea, I think Chelsea could cause them some real trouble.

Wayne Rooney First Goal Scorer 5/1 at William Hill and Victor Chandler
Arsene Wenger has to pick his boys up after conceeding late on in Dortmund. But after scraping 3 points against Swansea, Arsenal now face a Blackburn Rovers side with an under pressure Steve Keen.
And finally, this weekend see's A huge match between Tottenham Hotspurs and King Kenny Dalglish's Liverpool. Having been beaten by Stoke, the Reds will be looking to get Suarez back into scoring form. Although, Harry Redknapps inclusion of Adebayor in the starting line up paid off as he opened his account. This should be an interesting tie.
