Cardiff City v Manchester City (3.30pm, Sun, Sky Sports 1 HD)
Arsenal v Fulham
Arsenal might be heading into this on the back of a good Champions League win, but they are only papering over the cracks. Before that Villa's win against them was not smash-and-grab. Arsenal were well beaten. Add to that the fact that after just two games of the season they are playing full-backs in the centre of defence, things are not good. Arsene Wenger needs to go out and buy and I don't mean just Luis Suarez. He needs two, three, maybe even four big signings who will improve the side. I am not sure we will see any of that but this is already a hard, hard game for Arsenal.
You only have to look at two of the signings Fulham have made in Scott Parker and Adel Taarabt. Parker is solid and Taarabt can do special things and change games. Mind you I still think he, and indeed Fulham, are a bit like a bag of Revels and you just don't know what they are going to come up with next. They can be great on the day but Arsenal could easily wipe the floor with them. Fulham will need to have all 11 players playing at the top of their game, not just Damien Duff, Dimitar Berbatov and a couple of others. But they do have the players to beat them.
PAUL PREDICTS: 1-1
Everton v West Bromwich Albion
I thought Roberto Martinez would have bought more than just ex-Wigan players. It's not exactly lazy but it is not being 'unlazy', if that makes sense! Surely he could have got fresh players who were better value for money than Arouna Kone; for a start I thought he would've been bringing players in from Spain. Mind you the one thing he can't do is lose Leighton Baines or Marouane Fellaini because last week they played well. Yes they drew at Norwich and looked like they might get beaten, but they played well.
I am not sure you can say the same thing about West Brom. I know they are away at Goodison Park where they will be under pressure from the off. I don't see West Brom going down but when you watch a side fail to get a shot at goal in the first half against Southampton, you know that is a problem. I am sure Steve Clarke will have seen they just didn't create anything, never mind take chances.
PAUL PREDICTS: 3-0
Hull City Tigers v Norwich City
No-one expected Hull to beat Chelsea but now it's a different story altogether. This week they have to go out and beat Norwich and put three points on the board. Steve Bruce is a good manager and I am sure he will have highlighted certain games they need to win. This is one of them. I suppose the one good thing is that although they got beat last week, there was one positive: damage limitation. With the early penalty and then the second goal soon after, it really could have been five, six or seven. It won't happen again but if Hull lose this one then you are a madman not to bet on them going down.
I wouldn't say the same about Norwich. They've bought well in the summer and already Ricky van Wolfswinkel has scored and Nathan Redmond looked good against Everton. Add Gary Hooper and now on-loan Johan Elmander, and they have got goals in them. I just don't see them being one of the sides to go down and last week alone, they looked decent. But they cannot lose this one against a newly-promoted side. They just can't afford to even at this stage.
