After the Christmas rush things have settled down again in FPL terms. There was little change at the top of the table although long time leader Andy Harvey will be starting to look over his shoulder as his lead shrunk by another ten points. We look to be in for an interesting second half of the season.


Short Window

As Manchester United and Wigan had to play catch up last night this is going to be a very short window. You only have until Saturday lunchtime to get your predictions.


The Week Ahead

I think this is going to be another tough week to predict and I don't think there are any certainties at all. Sure you would expect Chelsea to beat Stoke at home and Man Utd to win at Bolton but in this the strangest of seasons nothing is guaranteed.

Leon and I are making the short trip to The Boleyn Ground for the West Ham v Fulham match on Sunday lunchtime. I have to be honest and say that I have quite a good feeling about this one. I know we can't win away from home in the league unless our lives depend on it, but I do think we might get something out of it.


Here are the fixtures in full:

Blackburn Rovers		v		Newcastle United
Bolton Wanderers		v		Manchester United
Chelsea		v		Stoke City
Hull City		v		Arsenal
Manchester City		v		Wigan Athletic
Sunderland		v		Aston Villa
West Bromwich Albion		v		Middlesbrough
Tottenham Hotspur		v		Portsmouth
West Ham United		v		Fulham
Liverpool		v		Everton
