West Ham can't win away and Manchester City haven't won at Old Trafford since 1974. Will this be the weekend where that all changes?

Premiership Preview
Man Utd v Man City (Saturday 12.45 Prem Plus)
Will the red mist descend on Old Trafford? The last meeting between these two sides resulted in Ronaldo receiving his marching orders for a shocking lunge on Andy Cole.

Sporting Index think Graham Poll will have his hands full and predict five bookings. United sit pretty at the top, 11 games unbeaten, with Rooney and Saha chipping in with seven goals a piece. City on the other hand are the Premiership's Jekyll and Hyde team; unbeatable at home, awful away.

A shock 3-1 win at Villa last Wednesday was their first away win of the season. More of a shock to City fans was that they managed to score three in a game! Goals have been hard to come by, failing to score in six of their last nine league games.

With that in mind, Sporting Index predict United will come out on top by two clear goals. However, City did take four points from their rivals last season.

Bolton v West Ham (Saturday 17.15pm Prem Plus)
West Ham have no away win in the Premiership and have failed to score on their travels in 10 hours. The Irons are clearly missing the presence of Dean Ashton, with top scorer Zamora not finding the net in three months. Under pressure and woeful against Wigan, Pardew could be in for an awkward evening with Arsenal and Liverpool leaving the Reebok empty handed.

The Hammers don't have a great record there, with no victory in their last six visits in all competitions - the most recent game being a 4-1 defeat in March. That day saw six players cautioned, and Sporting Index predict another intense affair with referee Howard Webb doling out four bookings.

Chelsea v Arsenal (Sunday 16.00pm Sky Sports 1)
The bitter Ashley Cole-Chelsea-Arsenal saga reignites at the Bridge, and it's sure to set up a tense atmosphere. Alan Wiley will have a busy afternoon according to Sporting Index who reckon he'll hand out six yellow cards.

Arsene Wenger's men have scored just twice in the last three away trips and have looked lightweight in midfield. With star man Thierry Henry out injured, can Robin van Persie come up with the goods?

The Gunners have a monumental task ahead of them with the Blues undefeated at home in the league since Mourinho took over. The champions have won six and drawn one at the Bridge this season, helped in part by the outstanding Didier Drogba.

He scored the winner in last season's corresponding fixture and will be looking to add to his eight goal tally in the league. Arsenal lost at Fulham recently and Sporting Index predict more misery for them in South West London. They reckon Chelsea will win by a one goal margin.
