da pixbet: There’s another full fixture list of Premier League football to enjoy this weekend, with issues to be sorted at the top and the bottom of the Premier League table. Manchester United minus Wayne Rooney will be looking to extend their lead over Arsenal at home to Fulham, while the Gunners travel to Bloomfield Road to face Blackpool. Tottenham will be looking to bounce back from their Champions League thrashing at the hands of Real Madrid at home to Stoke as they seek to ensure their season doesn’t end with a whimper. Arguably the most attractive looking game takes place at Anfield on Monday night as Liverpool host Manchester City, but in terms of importance you can’t look beyond the relegation six-pointer between Blackburn and Birmingham at Ewood Park.
Man United are 25/1 to fire a blank against Fulham and Man City without Wayne Rooney! – worth a flutter?

Villa v Newcastle: No question Aston Villa need to lift the mood and banish questions around Gerard Houllier’s future, but unpredictable Newcastle have enough quality to make it another uncomfortable afternoon for the under-fire French boss. Draw.

Man United v Fulham: Even without Wayne Rooney, United will have far too much for Fulham. Eexpect a fired-up Dimitar Berbatov to prove he’s worth a starting place. Home win.
