The title will be won on consistency basis NOT on the face-to-face results against the two giants.

Agreed its still early but my gut feeling tells me that unlike last season, whoever lags behind this time round, will find it almost impossible to catch up with the leading pack.

Predictions:

Chelsea 2 Wolves 0
Man utd 2 New Castle 2
Arsenal 2 Fulham 0
Liverpool 1 Man City 1

Chelsea must win otherwise AVB will be in trouble.
A tough game between Man U and Newcastle, the Magpies were a bit unlucky against the Citizens, they may grab a point against Man U.
Arsenal will be too much for a very poor Fulhma side
The game for the weekend smells like a draw but will be quite a tough match and an interesting one for neutrals

Referees:

Devils vs Magpies - Philip Dowd
Reds vs Citizens - Martin Atkinson

For that reason, I have revised my earlier 1:1 prediction at Anfield to 2:1, I believe there will be a penalty/controversial decision in this 2 games

Chelsea vs Wolves - 3:0
Man Utd vs NewCastle - 2:2
West Brom vs Spurs - 2:3
Arsenal vs Fulham - 4:1
Liverpool vs City - 3:3

Arsenal resurgence to continue against a poor Fulham. Chelsea must win this weekend or their title hope will start to dim due to lack of confidence.Newcastle will be a handful for United and may force a draw.City to drop two points with a draw at Anfield or may as well loose, i expect this to be a high score .

Haiya! they were also buying fans?
