Downfall of Portsmouth & The Rise of Liverpool...

Halfway through the EPL season, 3 things are for sure.

1) Chelsea will win the Premiership.
2) 2nd placing is up for grabs between Man U and Liverpool.
3) Sunderland will be relegated.

Portsmouth is likely to follow Sunderland though. Other than being 2nd from bottom with 17 points, which honestly speaking, aien't too bad considering there are 20 over games left and 15th-placed Aston Villa is only 8 points better.

Portsmouth just loaned 2 players, Argentina player Andres D'Alessandro and Wayne Routledge from Spurs. I'm telling you why,

1) The team is in no form and manager has no idea whats wrong, so 2 new players.
2) We all know soccer is about team work, not individual players. Plus Ronaldo or Robinho are not either one of the loaned players.

If I recall correctly(may be wrong), Saints and Wolves tried the same thing last season. What happened?

Bolton on the other hand, is in good form and pushing for Europe which they missed out on last year. Always an efficient outfit, what better time to fuel their cause than to dig in on tonight's away fixture?

Bolton giving 1/4 ball on away to Portsmouth. Some plates offering level ball. I cannot see Portsmouth winning.

Draw game or Bolton win.

And did I say Liverpool is in hot steak this year? Then what about Liverpool at Anfield against a Birmingham at 18th-spot? Liverpool giving a one-ball handicap at W68.

No brainer.

My Guess:
Bolton Lvl
Liverpool -1
