Saturday 13th August Football Picks (English and Scottish Premier League)

Finally... After 2 loooong months, football is finally back in its finest form as the English Premier League returns to action. After all the riots that broke out up and down the country over the last week, it will be nice to be able to sit down and be entertained for 90 minutes and forget about all the crap... well unless you have a ticket for Ewood Park to see Blackburn play Wolves (sorry Blackburn and Wolves fans).

It is always tough to predict how teams will react at this stage of the season as new signings are blooded and different teams will be at different stages of the return to full match fitness. For that reason alone I would not launch myself into a 2 footed tackle (my fault for following Rio Ferdinand's Twitter page) and dive into big picks.

Instead, I have had a look through the Saturday coupon and picked out the following matches:

Liverpool v Sunderland (http://www.goonersguide.com/football-pick-11300-Liverpool-v-Sunderland.htm)

Fulham v Aston Villa (http://www.goonersguide.com/football-pick-11306-Fulham-v-Aston-Villa.htm)

Newcastle United v Arsenal (http://www.goonersguide.com/football-pick-11301-Newcastle-United-v-Arsenal.htm)

Inverness CT v Rangers (http://www.goonersguide.com/football-pick-11317-Inverness-CT-v-Rangers.htm)
