Barclay's Premier League - week 8

After the international break, there is often a need to settle back into the accustomed pace of the league and current form becomes somewhat of an unreliable barometer in the appraisal of teams. This weekend offers some intriguing fixtures, none bigger than the London derby that will determine the true quality of the Chelsea team. Manchester United look to be the team that stands to gain the most from this weekend’s fixtures while a fiery Tyne-Side derby awaits on Sunday that could prove one of the more unpredictable games of the weekend


A Tyne Side derby teeming with significance, this fixture could represent a catalyst for either team in their relative campaigns. Sunderland have had quite a lackluster start to the season and will be hoping that Newcastle are still licking their wounds following their comprehensive loss to Manchester United. Both teams look in need of inspiration and this should reflect in a hard fought draw.
