Premier Predictions (Week 05)

Premier League back for 4 weeks till the next Internationals, and a few good looking games this week. 7 On Saturday, 2 on Sunday and 1 Monday.
The early game might see a frosty handshake between Martinez and Mourinho over the Stones transfer, and a chance for Lukaku to impress his old boss.
Man City's 100% record will be under pressure at the ever improving Palace.
The late game on Saturday is not as big as it used to be, but Rodgers will be hoping for a win here to forget their last game.
Monday night will be interesting to see if West Ham can show a bit of away form at Upton park?

Everton v Chelsea
Arsenal v Stoke
C Palace v Man City
Norwich v Bournemouth
Watford v Swansea
West Brom v Southampton

One Day To Go

One day left in the craziest money go round seen in the Premier league's history.
Possibly a few mega deals to go through tomorrow?
Man City are the big spenders so far. thanks to 3 mega deals.
Man Utd started the transfer window spending but now seem to be balancing the books and are currently in profit (unless any of the reported deals actually go through).
Arsenal are still struggling to open their wallet (maybe they should just buy some extra doctors and physio's for their fragile players?),
Everton are probably broke and won't have long to spend the Stones money if they finally give in, and with Chelsea's current form they might be blowing some serious money tomorrow?
Every player West Ham have been linked with has gone elsewhere so I would be surprised if we get anyone.
Newcastle and Sunderland have spent big this window but at the moment it doesn't appear to have helped.
Same can be said of Liverpool, Villa and Tottenham.

Figures below from more accurate European sources rather than sensationalist newspaper figures which seem to be way off the truth sometimes, a couple of undisclosed fees to add when I find the info.
