Wigan Athletic vs Blackpool

predict :  Wigan Athletic -0.5

Relegation candidates – Remarkable speed the end of Blackpool

Blackpool promotion to the Premier League was only nine years after winning another playoff victory in the fourth division of English football. Since the brain has made the club until the end of the stage Ian Holloway has a small miracle, and his words of motivation, are not quantifiable.

Blackpool as favorites to be relegated.

Goalkeeper Matthew Gilks was the leader of Blackpool last season but could not make to stop the entry of 58 conceded goals in 46 league games was followed by six to three playoff games.

Blackpool extent this summer is the center of the Israeli Defence Dekel Keinan, freely from Maccabi Haifa. The 25-year-old played 15 times for his country and his experience should offer Ian Evatt and Alex Baptiste. Promising right-back Seamus Coleman is back and will stay with Everton, The Seaside hope in force shall be taken to mean hard to miss.

Probably the strongest in the Blackpool midfield. Charlie Adam scored 16 goals in league for the team last season, while captain Jason Euell, 33, has many top-class football to the bank. David Vaughan has 17 caps for Wales, while Keith Southern will play his ninth season at Bloomfield Road. With two straight matches starting on the opening day next match was due to delays in construction, Blackpool need to supply the players to peak performance.

Blackpool forward failed, the necessary background to maintain exploits target in the past year, the third finish in the division. However, with DJ Campbell back in Leicester City (11 goals in 17 games on loan) a frontline list of Brett Ormerod, Gary Taylor-Fletcher and Billy Clarke is not just fear in the hearts of opposing defenses.

Blackpool is only 17 registered players in its ranks, high as an alarming deficit in quantity and quality to ensure Blackpool stay in the top is short.

Half of the biggest challenges – Fulham at risk

When manager Roy Hodgson is lost or seamless seismic depend not only on persons entering to Fulham manager to replace, but how quickly which they do.

Fulham have been achieved at a rising curve, with 62 years old  at the helm, and a little more on top six, but with the expansion of the search for a new manager, for at price of 7/1, the team are not without value, is neglected .

Sven-Goran Eriksson is the favorite to the new manager at Craven Cottage, after Dave Jones, said today its commitment to the Cardiff City.

Goalkeeper Mark Schwarzer is strongly linked with a move to Arsenal and it is little wonder why – he was an important reason for the team just only 46 goals cenceded last season.

Defense Brede Hangeland and Aaron Hughes has a formidable central defensive partnership made last season in 66 league games between them and support Fulham in Europe League straight.

In fact, no european distractions should be kinder this year, Fulham squad for the rigors of the Premier League and could even go for Cup chase. They are far to win the Carling Cup. Who knows?

Newboy Philippe Senderos have are additional high-caliber experience, while benefiting John Pantsil from a World Cup with Ghana.

Fulham midfielder is strong, with class players like Damien Duff, Danny Murphy and Simon Davies is a good way to Craven Cottage.

Clint Dempsey showed that adding an experienced player in the World Cup with the USA, and Dickson Etuhu and Jonathan Greening options.

Bobby Zamora proved to be an imposing front in the last year, has also score with a powerful header. Only scored eight goals of the league last season.

Andrew Johnson’s injury have persistent and Diomansy Camara as striker that scored only 39 league goals last year must have a serious pad.

But Hodgson stimulate and inspire the troops of Fulham squad looks fragile and short on numbers.

Half greatest challenge – Blackburn for the eyes clash.

Although Sam Allardyce excellent record at Ewood Park, Blackburn Rovers seems they are anything but safe this season. This is the unpredictability of the Premier League clubs like Blackburn, but the first six finish for the club also plausible.

Blackburn have in the earlier incarnation of Europe League, called UEFA Cup, first competed since 2006, and Allardyce guided Bolton to the same competition in 2005 and 2007.

After the end of last season in 10th, Balckburn are expected that seems to be the Premier League table back uphill, and their squad team to do so in good shape.

There has been little change in personnel was Ewood Park this summer, Hugo Fernandez from UD Cornella and free out Steven Reid and Yildiray Bastürk.

Such continuity of the defense for a defensive squad that have good perform last season, with Christopher Samba and Ryan Nelsen are often uncontrollable. Phil Jones youngster always an excellent prospect in central defense.

Blackburn midfielder backline is also stronger midfield mix Morten Gamst Pedersen and David Dunn joins protect with robust physical stature of Steven N’Zonzi.

With a bit of deficiency in terms of control options may call Allardyce riches of his transfer of market knowledge appeal to the power of their strikers Nikola Kalinic, Jason Roberts and Junior Hoilett for exercise.

Bettors may be interested in market for Blackburn Rovers on Premier League handicap, where you can take the triumph with a handicap of total +36 points.

Who will be Blackburn competitors in mid table ? Fulham still have a chance to finish among the top six.

The four major candidates – Aston Villa should be cautious

Having finished sixth in three seasons, Aston Villa have the Champions League threatened with a check online football on the basis of rapid and extreme talent British youth.

Goalkeeper two years at Villa Park Brad Friedel has built his reputation as a great goalkeeper in the Premier League era. He  will be 40 in May 2010 and O’Neill survey was possible replacement, but Friedel still has no league game in six years that go not to lose short term need.

The defense is a vital strength, Villa last season showed their ability to fend off the attacks, even the best (keeping clean sheet at Old Trafford and Arsenal), which in just 39 goals during the campaign (an aberration 7-1 to Chelsea). If they achieve at the first four – Richard Dunne, to be named in the PFA team of the season, is still a major influence on the back. Some attack force in the back would not be complete.

The midfielder James Milner if he stays or goes, the key issue is here. He was great last season and scored seven goals and helping others at 12 assist and show a cool head the conversion of a penalty that lost in the Carling Cup final.

Ashley Young and Stewart Downing are wide range of excellent options and a key source of goals for Villa. Stiliyan Petrov is the heart that the team leads but could in the mantle of extremely talented young Fabian Delph occur, which should show up again this season.

Attack Gabriel Agbonlahor scored a personal best 13 goals in the league last year and those born and bred Brummie of the nature of the figurehead of approaches is in requires a top-four. He will pay to win the Golden Boot in the coming season?

John Carew is a physical presence to qualified ahead, but will be 31 on September, while Emile Heskey (only three goals in the league last season) still never been so productive.

A premium striker for an attack that only 52 goals scored in the league needed last season, a killer advantage. What is Aston Villa possibility of big four in the top Premier League?

*** Rio Ferdinand out until early September

***Manchester City are ready to wield the axe in a bid to trim their bulging squad with England internationals Wayne Bridge, Joleon Lescott and Shaun Wright-Phillips in the firing line.

The top four – Liverpool the mistakes of last season.

After losing in the Champions League last season, Liverpool will be desperate to finish in the first four. Take a look at Liverpool options.

Goalkeeper Pepe Reina in Liverpool has perhaps the best goalkeeper in the Premier League, and always excellent Spanish should mean that the club had nothing to fear in the net.

To won the title, the Premier League show on Liverpool this season but their defense has been strengthened by the acquisition of Scottish Danny Wilson, from Rangers joined in a business of 5 million pounds. There is uncertainty on the left side, but with Fabio Aurelio and Emiliano Insua about to join Fiorentina. New boss Roy Hodgson have in order to fill this gap and the poor, the marginalized who, Wayne Bridge from City is rumored that the purpose of transmission.

Midfielder. Much of the media is new signing Joe Cole, who arrived on a free transfer from Chelsea, and continue to score against them this season. Cole brings the skill and craft that does not exist in the Liverpool midfield last season, and it will be interesting to see how the gel containing Steven Gerrard, who has committed to Liverpool, despite seems consistent with a move away from Anfield to be linked .
Gerrard scored scorching distance, while Liverpool won one last trophy – the FA Cup in 2006 and the captain is the man for Liverpool.

Attack as always, the weight of expectation hanging in the attack especially to Fernando Torres who is trying to be a top scorer in the Premier League for this season. His deputy, David N’Gog showed improvement last season flashes, but Torres is probably assisted in finding the new addition, Serb Milan Jovanovic on forward.
