Tonight we can enjoy another ‘Battle of Britain’ as Scottish Champions Celtic travel to Old Trafford to face the English champions Manchester United. This will be another great spectacle with Celtic supporters arriving in numbers as usual to give their side a terrific backing. There’ll be 76,000 packed into the stadium to witness a British style match with an unbelievable atmosphere. Unfortunately for Celtic I just can’t see them getting a result.

A lot has been written about the treatment of Ashley Cole by the England fans at Wembley last weekend. For me, the booing that greeted his every touch after his mistake against Kazakhstan was not due to the error but more to do with the perception of Ashley Cole from the British public.

Last weekend Tottenham fan Tony Morris from Harrow won the £100,000 Premier 10 jackpot by predicting the outcome of all ten Premier League games.

I must start by congratulating Tottenham fan Tony Morris from Harrow for his £100K jackpot win on Premier 10 last week. This was quite a feat when you consider some of the results including Bolton and Middlesbrough winning away, so well done to you. As Tony is a Tottenham fan, I’m sure it was hard for him to back Hull to win at White Hart Lane but I’m sure the cash will cheer him up after Spurs dismal start to the season.

Goals against Liverpool aren’t easy to come by especially for Manchester City. City have failed to score in their last six Premier League games against the Reds. In fact goals aren’t that much of a feature when these two sides meet; there have been just five goals in the last seven clashes - five have ended 1-0 and the other two have been 0-0 draws.

Only Southampton (9) have lost more often at Goodison Park in the Premier League era than Newcastle United. Just what the Toon Army wants to hear at this current time. But Goodison can hardly be called a fortress so far this season; Blackburn, Portsmouth and Liverpool have each left with all three points. So can Newcastle now with a tad more stability following the interim appointment of Joe Kinnear follow suit, rewrite history and rediscover their top flight feet?

Hull continue to impress while Tottenham continue to slide. That seems to be the quickest way to sum up the two teams so far this season. However if you wanted the lengthier version read on…

Paul Ince played under the reign of Alex Ferguson for six years and from Blackburn’s solid start - 10 points from a possible 18 placing them 7th in the league - highlights that the 40-year-old has picked up a tip or two from his former mentor.

It’s been around two and a half years since West Brom and Fulham last met, a time Baggies fans would rather like to sweep under the carpet; the Londoners thrashed West Brom 6-1 in February 2006. This however was at Craven Cottage. Tales from the Hawthorns cast a much different picture, one that the Baggies can take some heart from especially after their sterling win away to Middlesbrough last week.

This fixture in the last campaign resulted in one of the games of the season as Chelsea and Villa drew 4-4 as two penalties were awarded and 3 red cards dished out. I wouldn’t expect the same scoreline but with both sides in good form this should be a tightly fought encounter. Even though the home side will be undoubted favourites it’s worth remembering that the Blues have not beaten Villa in the last 5 Premier League encounters.
