Analysis:-

Arsenal vs Everton
Arsenal are unbeaten in the EPL since the loss in the North London Derby against Spurs on October 2nd, and their recent form is quite impressive in both domestic and Europe competitions. Regardless of their loss to Olympiacos in UCL, Arsenal will eventually ease past the "Toffees" in this showdown; and the recent visit of Arsenal legend Thierry Henry will give both players and fans the momentum to clinch victory.

Manchester United vs Wolverhampton
Knocked out of the big European competition, Nemanja Vidic's SERIOUS injury, lack of confidence in De Gea! Well, these are the top concerns that are itching the backs of the Red Devils' supporters. But, Wolverhampton won't be a concern as Man. United and Sir Alex will try their best to send a message to their fans that the recent elimination from Europe was just a miscalculation. In my opinion, the Red Devils will win it; even though, I see some back and forth action!

Chelsea vs Manchester City
Both teams were on the edge in midweek, as both were facing elimination from the UCL. Well, one team managed to go through (Chelsea, as first place); while the other won the match but its "rival" won also. Roberto Mancini promised the City faithful that he'll bring them back to the spotlight this season; but from the looks of it, that spotlight is missing. Yes they are first place in the EPL, and yes they can win the "domestic" treble this season; but, in my point of view, reaching, at least, the last eight in the UCL would satisfy the fans more. Villas-Boas shut his critics in the past week by the thrashing, both, Newcastle in the EPL and Valencia in the UCL with the same result (3-0). But that doesn't mean he'll be able to repeat it against a star studded side like the Citizens! From my experience in the Italian Calcio, Roberto Mancini ALWAYS won his matches when he gets eliminated from Europe. And this week he'll do the same!
