Premiership Preview

Charlton v Portsmouth (Saturday: 12.45 PremPlus)

Portsmouth travel to The Valley on Saturday having yet to concede a goal this term, and knowing a win will take them to the Premiership summit.

Having defeated Bolton at home, Charlton narrowly lost to champions Chelsea but there were many positives to take from their performance.

Bent and Hasselbaink finally look like a dangerous combination up front, and they could feature amongst the 2.4 to 2.6 total goals Sporting predict in the match.

Although Traore, Reid and Diawara are injured, The Addicks will be buoyed by the double they did over Pompey last season. With Charlton unbeaten in their last 8 home games against Portsmouth, Sporting Index see Dowie's men shading this by 0 to 0.2 goals.

There were only 2 cautions in the same game last season, and Sporting envisage another disciplined game with no more than 3 yellows.

Chelsea v Liverpool (Sunday: 13.30 Sky Sports 1)

Chelsea entertain Liverpool in their 12th meeting in two years. The Reds were handed a thrashing by Everton last week but bounced back to keep a clean sheet away to PSV.

These battles are notoriously tight and there have been three goalless draws in the last eight meetings between the two. Therefore, the total goals spread of 2.2 to 2.4 that Sporting Index predict is sure to stoke up interest.

Despite consecutive victories in last season's FA Cup semi-final and the Community Shield, Benitez faces an uphill task in outfoxing Mourinho. The Merseysiders have a wretched record at The Bridge with one victory since the Premiership began and Sporting see The Blues winning by 0.6 to 0.8 goals.

Last season's corresponding fixture saw a 2-0 victory for the home side which was an ill-tempered affair with three yellows and a red for Reina. Sporting Index can see another busy afternoon for Mike Riley, and estimate 5 yellow cards will be shown.

Manchester Utd v Arsenal (Sunday: 16.00 Sky Sports 1)

Following Mourinho vs. Benitez, a well established managerial battle resumes later on Sunday as Fergie squares up to Wenger once more.

United may have lost Giggs and Park through injury, but Ronaldo returns from suspension and Rooney should partner the in-form Saha. Despite enjoying midweek European success, Arsenal lost Toure through injury and his absence will be a big blow.

They are yet to win in the Premiership this season and Sporting Index reckon that trend will continue with the Red Devils triumphing by 0.4 to 0.6 goals. Sir Alex's team have scored 11 goals this season and the Gunners can't sit back and will need to attack.

It could be an open game although Sporting predict no more than 2.5 total goals in the match. The absence of Keane and Viera doesn't necessarily mean there'll be a lack of cards.

People's favourite Graham Poll has handled his fair share of these encounters and Sporting Index think 5 players will be cautioned.
