In depth prediction:

Sheffield United are not on good run while Chelsea are on fire. But a visit to Sheffield will not be easy.
Sheffield United 0 vs 2 Chelsea

Arsenal are on fire, thrashing Reading at the Majeski where Man U and Chelsea only drew 1-1 and won 1-0. Everton are strong but can't hold a candle to Arsenal.
Arsenal 3 vs 0 Everton

Bolton have not conceeded at home and United are on a winning streak. The best defence vs the best attack. This would be a fantastic clash. Tight and unpredictable.
Bolton Wanderers 0 vs 1 Manchester United

Wigan on high but aren't good on the road. Fulham have an average performance.
Fulham 1 vs 1 Wigan Athletic

Undefeated Aston Villa visit Anfield. Tinkering may happen again and Villa should capitalise.
Liverpool 1 vs 1 Aston Villa

Eager to counter their league cup exit against Newcastle. They are freescoring and were impressive in their 2-1 defeat at Chelsea.
Portsmouth 3 vs 0 Reading

Tottenham are finding form. Watford are slipping.
Watford 0 vs 3 Tottenham Hotspur

Both teams are not having a comfortable start. Newcastle might edge charlton.
Newcastle United 2 vs 1 Charlton Athletic

Haha, whatcha think? 8 losses in all competition? time for 9?
West Ham United 0 vs 3 Blackburn Rovers

Manchester City vs Middlesbrough

Big Guns victorious in Carling Cup

Manchester United, Newcastle United, Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool all enjoyed victories in the midweek carling cup match up. All but two of the big guns fielded a full first team squad but despite that, they were victorious.

Liverpool perhaps was the most unconvicing of the lot edging newly promited Reading 4-3. Chelsea beat Blackburn 2-0 with only Shevechenko dropped from the side. They played an experimental 3-5-2 formation which paid of at Ewood Park.

Newcastle performed fantastic after their home win against high flying Portsmouth. A debut for Giussepi Rossi, on loan from United, paid of after he opened the game's scoring with Nolberto Solano scoring 2 after that.

The 2 big guns who fielded a understrength side were Manchester United and Arsenal. Arsenal strolled to victory against West Bromwich whilst Manchester United needed a late extra time strike by debutant Keiran Lee 1 minute from a penalty shootout. Aliadiere scored a double for Arsenal the previous night.

Other results was Tottenham comfortable 5-0 over MK Dons and Charlton kicking out Bolton with Darren Benr's strike.

Carling Cup Fourth Round Draw
Birmingham City v Liverpool
Chelsea v Aston Villa
Chesterfield v Charlton
Everton v Arsenal
Notts County v Wycombe Wanderers
Southend v Manchester United
Tottenham v Port Vale

With Alex Ferguson setting a 90 point target for the season, Man United would want to keep their form going and stick to the top of the table.

United we stand

Wigan Atheltic 1
Baines 5'
Manchester United 3
Vidic 62'
Saha 66'
Solskjaer 90+3'

Through thick and thin, they stand united. That was the attitude that saw them come from behind to hammer Wigan 3-1. After Baines fired Wigan to the lead with a superb free kick. Manchester United did not look at their best in the first half and the game was tough to watch for United fans.

But through thick and thin, United fans should stand by their team. Those who turned of their television missed the United revival. Ryan Giggs came on to turn the game on it's head.

United owned the second half. Immediately after the restart, Solskjaer and Saha got close. Until the 61st minute when Vidic's equaliser and first United goal atarted the comeback. Louis Saha continuing his fine form by scoring the 2nd goal by controling and finishing in 1 swoop. Solskjaer finished the post international game with a deflected shot to round of a fine game for United and Rooney.
