WEDNESDAY
Chelsea v Bolton
Bolton would not have beaten West Brom last year - that is the extent of the influence of Owen Coyle.
But Chelsea have started to turn the corner so I think they will edge it, although it will be a closer contest than you might have expected at the start of the season.
Prediction: 2-0
Here's Martin Lawrenson's view on the Chelsea v Bolton match:
Has he not been watching them the last few weeks? How is losing 3-1 'turning the corner'?
For Arsenal's prediction, he mentions the win over Chelsea.Mark Lawrenson, and I suspect the predictions were made before last night, but I suspect I can read this on F365 mediawatch at some point soon
Wigan v Arsenal
We are never sure about Wigan - they won at Wolves and looked good value for it but they are not a team that can just shut up shop.
Arsenal will be out for revenge after last year when they were leading and got beaten 3-2 and I expect them to get it after their excellent win over Chelsea.
Prediction: 0-2
For Arsenal's prediction, he mentions the win over Chelsea.
Good news. But Villa are absolutely useless.

I just realised there are lots of games today.
