Premier League Fixtures 26th December Part 2

West Ham United v Portsmouth
Jack Collison – who has spent hours studying Frank Lampard’s ‘best bits’ - has a chance of starting against the team that beat Liverpool last week but Danny Gabbidon’s hamstring injury looks serious – he could be out until February. It sounds like ages away. It’s next year.

Wigan Athletic v Blackburn Rovers
Jason Brown will almost certainly spend his Boxing Day getting more splinters from the Blackburn Rovers bench. Wigan have an injured midfielder which is horrible news for him but it could be great news for Jason Koumas. Cardiff were interested in buying Jason K but he wanted to stay in the Premiership. So with luck, Cardiff, you might be able to buy him in August.
