UK fixtures/results for this weekend

[hedgehog444]

It's a big weekend coming up this weekend with some tasty fixtures, one that stands out is Liverpool vs Manchester United on Sunday in the English Premier League. We may be early on in the season but every match still counts and there are plenty of decent games to be played elsewhere up and down the country too. So, as every teenage lad and working class man awaits eagerly, let's take a look what's in store ....

all following games kick off on Saturday 31st August 2013 all kick off times GMT+1 (UK)

Manchester City vs Hull City (12:45)
Newcastle United vs Fulham (15:00)
Norwich City vs Southampton (15:00)
West Ham United vs Stoke City (15:00)

Everton look set to face a very tough travel to South Wales, Cardiff proved last weekend they can do their stuff at home and Martinez's side will need to work hard for this one. Away win or score draw will perhaps be a bookies favourite. An expectant home win for Manchester City, although they have already been caught out this season by another newly promoted side.
Elsewhere, there are expectant home wins for Newcastle, Norwich vs Saints will be a very close call as to will West Ham vs Stoke City. An interesting Saturday ahead!

[Thereishope]

The only game that I really have any interest in is the Liverpool vs Manchester United. Not familiar with any other teams. I'm sure the whole thing will be interesting an fun to watch though!

[Catharsis.]

As an Evertonian, I can say that I'm not 100% confident about our trip to Cardiff after what we saw last week, but I think that match said more about Man City than it said about Cardiff, really. I would be disappointed if we lost to them, honestly.

Liverpool vs Man United is definitely an interesting one. I probably wouldn't mind seeing United beat our dear neighbours in that one.
