making it early as i want opinions on finding the most likely winner. in a survivor pool and down to about a half dozen people, need to pick one premier team that must win, cannot use united, chelsea or liverpool. fixtures are:

Chelsea v Newcastle
Liverpool v Fulham
Man City v Arsenal
Middlesbrough v Bolton
Portsmouth v Hull
Stoke v West Brom
Aston Villa v Man Utd
Spurs v Blackburn
Sunderland v West Ham
Wigan v Everton

thoughts:

- would rather pick a home team obviously
- stoke, villa, man city non starters due to opposition and being useless
- boro unbeaten in five
- spurs were on form but blackburn seems a bad matchup
- portsmouth decent at home and wheels coming off hull, but have only won one in six
- are wigan terrible enough to pick everton away?
- not sure sunderland are good enough to pick

opinions?

I'd take Middlesbrough myself and the bookmakers seem to agree.

Tough weekend though. Try planning ahead in future.

Edit: Actuallt the bookmakers don't agree.
