Featured Games
Queens Park Rangers vs. Tottenham - LIVE on Sky Sports
There is definitely going to be some interesting dialogue (if any) taking place between the managers on the sidelines in this game. Harry Redknapp hosts the club of which he used to manage, as he looks to defeat Villas Boas' Tottenham side.  Harry Redknapp claimed that he is not "Bitter and Twisted" following his sacking as Tottneham boss last Summer. However, Villas Boas may have heard things differently, and despite what they are saying in the press, one can only wonder if there is some heat between these two managers. The topic of managers seems to be overshadowing the game as such, but as QPR lie at the bottom of the table, it seems like Tottenham will have intent to win this, in 3rd place in the table, they will look to capitalize and take the three points.

Manchester United vs. Livrpool - LIVE on Sky Sports
It is arguably one of the greatest footballing rivarlies ever. Excellent footballers, clash of big personalities, controversial refereeing and more. This match has all the combustable elements for a magnificent game. With the racial allegation against Luis Suarez fading to the background, things can still be blown out of proportion, as these big derbys tend to bring out the best in both teams (sometimes the worst too, behaviour wise). But the atmosphere is going to be great in Old Trafford, and everyone will be looking forward to this, one of 2 Super Sunday games. Howard Webb has his work cut out for him, and I also predict some touchline controversy. This is a hard one to call, but I will call this as a draw.

Arsenal vs. Manchester City - LIVE on Sky Sports

Another game filled with footballing talent, a bit of bad blood but a game that always is one I remember well. Manchester City and Arsenal play very good football, and their matches have been very enjoyable to watch in the past, and no doubt that they will be this time. This will be a cracking end to a great matchday in the Premier League, I see Arsenal taking the three points at home.

Predictions
Saturday 12th January
Queens Park Rangers 0 - 2 Tottenham Hotspur
Reading 2 - 2 West Bromwich Albion
Sunderland 0 - 1 West Ham United
Stoke City 0 - 2 Chelsea
