EPL Weekend Schedule

You Will Never Walk Alone

Another exciting week of the English Premier League is upon us. The picture at the top and bottom of the league is still not clear. As Arsenal and Man. Utd. battle for 2nd place, a fierce 4-team battle is brewing at the bottom for survival, as only 2 points seperate the teams. Unfortunately, only one of the four teams will survive, with West Bromwich having a game-in-hand and a one-point egde over Southampton. However, one win could decide who stays, and who leaves to the lower division. The three lowest-ranked teams are relegated. The EPL Prediction Index (EPLPI) stands at 15 and 33 since March 19, 2005.
