Birmingham v Chelsea

Roger Johnson / Melissa Johnson (Birmingham City)

New buck Melissa has certainly put in the spadework in her bid to be crowned queen WAG having released a WAGs Workout DVD with fellow footballer belles Nicola T and Lisa Munday. The skysports.com office swears by it. Melissa's website informs that through her modelling she has 'appeared on TV shows such as This Morning, Poor Little Rich Girls, Footballers Wives, Midsummer Murders, Dream Team and Test the Nation'. We'd rather be stuck in a lift with Vernon Kay without access to a gun than sit through that lot but Roger seems happy enough. The pair, who wed in 2007, are childhood sweethearts and with Melissa quite the looker and Roger widely regarded as being an all round good egg, the Blues duo might just cause the odd upset this season.

Frank Lampard / Christine Bleakley (Chelsea)

We had Bleakley down as being the shy and retiring type but her high-profile appearance in South Africa suggested she's warming to life as a WAG. The West London pair are established tabloids favourites having become a fixture in the red tops since going public with their relationship, with Bleakley's switch to ITV the most exciting move to date this transfer window. Having to get up in the middle of night and then cosy up to Adrian Chiles on a GMTV sofa every morning is the stuff nightmares are made of, but she'll draw consolation from the fact old Frank will be back home from training by the time she's done and dusted. Sky Bet have this high end couple as one of the favourites for the inaugural WAGs and Stags Premier League.
