It was 20 years ago this week when when Arsene Wenger replaced Bruce Rioch as manager of Arsenal. They played at Highbury then. They play at the Emirates Stadium now. During those 20 years Wenger has led the Gunners to 3 league titles and 6 FA cups. Arsenal also qualify for the Champions League every year but they have still yet to win it, or the European Cup. Wenger once claimed that qualifying for the Champions League was the equivalent to "winning a trophy". The Frenchman is one of the great managers of the modern era.
This weekend Wenger will lead his Arsenal side into battle against Chelsea in what is the biggest match over the next three days. Elsewhere Manchester City will be hoping to keep up their 100 % record at Swansea, while Manchester United, who have lost their last two in the league, will host last season's champions Leicester. There will be seven other matches. So I will make predictions for the lot of them.

Manchester United v Leicester (1-1)
Bournemouth v Everton (1-2)
Liverpool v Hull City (2-0)
