Premiership Predictions

After transfer deadline day on Thursday premiership action will resume on Saturday. Queens Park Rangers, who made a few signings but not as many as Harry Redknapp or Peter Odemwingie would have liked, will take on Norwich City at Loftus Road in a vital match at the bottom of the table. Wigan, who tried to sign John Stones before he chose Everton will play host to Southampton in another crucial relegation clash. On Sunday Manchester City will begin life without Mario Bolotelli at home to Liverpool, while West Brom (without Odemwingie) will entertain Spurs, who were unusually quiet on deadline day. It is 3 points for a correct score and 1 point for the right result.
