Premiership Preview
Blackburn v Arsenal (Saturday Prem Plus 17.15)
Arsenal are raining goals at the moment. Charlton were hit for four in their last Premiership fixture, Liverpool were hit for six in the Carling Cup and let's not forget their 3-1 win in the FA Cup. However, Blackburn have much to shout about when it comes to form in front of goal.

They've won their last three Premiership matches and scored four goals at Goodison on Sunday. With both teams in goalscoring form, Sporting Index surprisingly predict a total of only 2.4 to 2.6 goals at Ewood Park.

The Gunners will look to their 6-2 win over Rovers last month for inspiration. However, with three goals in the last eight minutes, the scoreline was flattering. With 11 bookings in their last two encounters, can Arsenal live with another physical battle away from the Emirates?

Their form against the 'big' teams is well known, but defeat away to Bolton, West Ham, Fulham and most recently Sheffield United, might get some punters questioning Sporting Index's prediction of a one goal victory for Arsenal.

Tottenham v Newcastle Utd (Sunday Sky Sports 1 16.00)
Tottenham find themselves four points from the top-six and the pressure is on to improve their festive record which saw one Premiership win in four. However, their home record is solid with only the blue and red half of Merseyside securing smash and grab wins this season at the Lane.

They've won their last three home games and with Newcastle losing their last three away fixtures, Sporting Index reckon Spurs will sneak this by a one goal margin. Despite Lennon and Keane missing through injury, they should have enough attacking ammunition in Berbatov, Defoe and Malbranque to breach a Newcastle defence without a clean sheet in eight games.

However, the Magpies will boast of the fact they've won their last two meetings 3-1. The bragging rights end there with Spurs winning the preceding four games without conceding a goal! With only two bookings in Newcastle's 3-1 triumph last month, a few eyebrows might be raised to see Sporting Index predicting five cautions this time around.
