Premier League Fixtures 30th October 2010

Arsenal v West Ham United
Arsenal’s win over Manchester City last week moved them to second in the table, if only on goal difference. A home match against bottom club West Ham (who are yet to win away) should be the ideal way of keeping up the pressure on leaders Chelsea West Ham have done better of late but this is still their worst ever start to a season.
Aaron Ramsey is set to make his long-awaited comeback just a few days after this match but he’s unlikely to play in the first team for another month.
Danny Gabbidon will hope to return to West Ham’s starting line-up after being rested for their Carling Cup win over Stoke City. Jack Collison is still out with a knee injury.

Everton v Stoke City
Stoke have only one away win this season and Everton have only one home win. A win for Everton would lift them into the top ten, at least until Aston Villa’s match on Sunday. Stoke have not beaten Everton since Danny Collins was two.
Ryan Shawcross will keep his place in defence for Stoke and Danny Collins could be ready to return from a knee injury.

Fulham v Wigan Athletic
Fulham are looking for only their second win of the season against Wigan, who are now a point ahead of them and unbeaten away. Fulham and Mark Hughes haven’t been together for long but both have won only three of their last twenty Premier League games. Wigan are hoping to extend their unbeaten run to five matches.
Simon Davies will hope his long-term ankle injury will allow him to play a part in this match.

Wolverhampton Wanderers v Manchester City
Wolves will be ready to pounce if Manchester City have lost any confidence as a reault of being beaten 3-0 by Arsenal last weekend. One thing Manchester City definitely have lost star striker Carlos Tevez but they aren’t exactly short in the attacking department.
Wayne Hennessey acquitted himself well for Wolves in the Carling Cup but he ended up on the losing side – and even if they hadn’t, I wouldn’t expect him to start this match. David Jones however is likely to keep his place and Dave Edwards might return to the starting line-up alongside him.

Manchester United v Tottenham Hotspur
Tottenham travel to Old Trafford in the hope of ending Manchester United’s unbeaten record. The last time they won there, Gareth Bale was only five months old. Now he’s 21 and Man Utd are probably really hoping he doesn’t play. Their wish might just be granted, if Harrry Redknapp considers Inter Milan to be more important.
Ryan Giggs (hamstring), Owen Hargreaves (knee) and Michael Owen (depends on which paper you read but Alex Ferguson says it’s hia hamstring) are all expected to be absent for this match. Micharl is expected to be out for up to five weeks but Ryan should return to full training on Monday.
Tottenham’s top scorer Gareth Bale spent a few days recharging his batteries in Wales but with another match against Inter Milen just days away, he could be rested for this match.
