Prediction
Arsenal have a run of games now which they should win. Swansea at home last week brought three points, and now Arsenal must get three points away at Blackburn and at home to Bolton. The home games with Olympiacos and Shrewsbury, it goes without saying we expect to win. Blackburn away is always a tricky game regardless of where they are in the league. Even without Wilshere and Vermaelen again, we should have more than enough to get the win on Saturday.

Since taking charge of West Brom, Roy Hodgson has lost just twice and the former Fulham and Liverpool manager has strengthened his side with the additions of Ben Foster from Birmingham, Shane Long from Reading and Zoltan Gera from Fulham.
United have added significantly to their own squad, though, bringing in David De Gea from Atletico Madrid, Phil Jones from Blackburn and Ashley Young from Aston Villa. And with Tom Cleverly impressing in the Community Shield following his loan spell at Wigan, Ferguson seems to have added the youth his squad needed.
Ferguson confirmed Evra is still struggling, so either Fabio or Jonny Evans will likely step in. Darren Fletcher (virus) and Antonio Valencia are pencilled in for reserve-team appearances on Monday, while Javier Hernandez (concussion) is sidelined for another fortnight.
Last season: West Brom 1 Manchester United 2, Manchester United 2 West Brom 2.

The wait is over. The new season is upon us and it promises to be better than ever.
After a thrilling end to last season we begin this season with 6 teams going for the title, not to mention the top 4. And the relegation battle looks to be ever so close.

I believe we will say loads of goals on day 1, with Swansea facing a tough day 1 start in Manchester, all top 4 teams are facing tough starts but looking to win their games and i believe its “hard but possible”.
As we all know you don’t know what to expect in the premier league, but one this is certain. Excitement.
The biggest game for me is the Newcastle v Arsenal Rematch of the game of the season last year (4-4) and as an Arsenal fan I’m sure that if its 4-0 at half time, it won’t be over.
Other big games include Liverpool v Sunderland and Manchester United hosted by West Brom. Stoke city v Chelsea
Lets hope for a great season
