Sky Sports Paul Merson is back to look ahead to another round of Premier League fixtures, as Tottenham, Arsenal and Manchester City look to pick up more points in the title race. Wholesale Football Jerseys Outlet . Spurs can go top of the table with a win at West Ham, while Arsenal host Swansea and City play Liverpool for the second time in four days.Merse predicted five of the eight Premier League outcomes at the weekend, so read on for his Wednesday night shouts... Mersons last Premier League predicitions Result Merses prediction Leicester 1-0 Norwich 2-1 Southampton 1-2 Chelsea 1-1 Stoke 2-1 Aston Villa 3-0 Watford 0-0 Bournemouth 1-1 West Ham 1-0 Sunderland 3-1 West Brom 3-2 C Palace 1-1 Man Utd 3-2 Arsenal 1-2 Tottenham 2-1 Swansea 2-0 Arsenal v Swansea - 7.45pm, Wednesday I agree with Graeme Souness that Arsenal were a joke on Sunday, but I believe they will beat Swansea at home. They simply have to win this because if they lose, then its almost goodnight for the title race. For that reason, Id say this is probably the biggest game of the season so far for Arsenal. Swansea had a kick in the teeth after losing from 1-0 up at Spurs and they are probably the perfect team for Arsenal to play this week because theyre a nice team who wont kick Arsenal off the pitch. Arsenal should win - but if they dont score in the first 20 minutes, it could get very cagey.PAUL PREDICTS: 2-0 (Sky Bet Odds 5/1)Stoke v Newcastle - 7.45pm, Wednesday I never go against Stoke at home. They hit a bit of a brick wall a few weeks ago, but wins over Bournemouth and Aston Villa have made them a hot team again. When they get going, they can beat anybody - and I expect them to beat Newcastle. This is a very big game for Newcastle, but I have to go for Stoke.PAUL PREDICTS: 3-1 (Sky Bet Odds 14/1)West Ham v Tottenham - 7.45pm, Wednesday This could be the hardest game Tottenham have got left to play this season. I know they play a north London derby on Saturday - but if Arsenal play like they did at Old Trafford, theyll get turned over. Every West Ham fan does not want Tottenham to win the Premier League and the atmosphere will be like a cup final on Wednesday night. Mark Noble was on The Fantasy Football Club recently saying the atmosphere against Liverpool was phenomenal - and I think this will be the same. The best I can see Tottenham coming away with is a draw. Theres not a lot between these teams on their day and I cant believe the bookies have got West Ham at 3/1 to win at home.PAUL PREDICTS: 1-1 (Sky Bet Odds 5/1)Liverpool v Man City - 8pm, Wednesday I was speaking to Phil Thompson on Saturday and we thought whoever won the cup final would probably lose this game. Now Im not so sure. Liverpool will be so devastated at the manner of the defeat at Wembley and this is a bigger game for City because Man Utds win over Arsenal has put severe pressure on them finishing fourth. This is a game for the mind and the fitness of the players - Sunday will have taken more out of the losing team than the winning team - and I see another close one.PAUL PREDICTS: 1-1 (Sky Bet Odds 5/1)Man Utd v Watford - 8pm, Wednesday Man Utd are really getting some momentum behind them and the goals of Marcus Rashford seem to have lifted the whole club and the fans. When one of your own scores a couple of goals, then the supporters walk away seeing a brighter future. Away from him, it feels like some of the others are now getting used to playing for a very big club. Anthony Martial was playing in front of small crowds at Monaco and now hes learning his trade in front of 75,000 at Old Trafford. This will be hard against a decent Watford team, but I expect United to win.PAUL PREDICTS: 2-1 (Sky Bet Odds 15/2) Also See: Merse: LVG deserves credit Premier League questions Marcus Rashford profile Souness on Arsenal Cheap Buffalo Bills Jerseys .

His tenure as the GM in Vancouver was all too brief. Though he led the Canucks to what was then a franchise record-shattering campaign in just his second season, Nonis was gone and replaced one year later. RICHMOND, Va. -- Training camp just started, and the Washington Redskins are already in no mood to mess with any kind of Achilles tendon injury.First-round pick Josh Doctson has been bothered by a sore left Achilles tendon since May and the problem hasnt gone away. So the Redskins on Thursday put the rookie wide receiver on the physically unable to perform list, not long after they lost outside linebacker Junior Galette for the season with another torn Achilles tendon has he prepared for camp.On the first day of workouts, it was clear the team is playing it ultra-safe with Doctson.Coach Jay Gruden said Doctson underwent a non-surgical treatment before training camp started Thursday. Theres no official time frame for the 22nd pick to get on the field with his teammates, though Gruden said the Redskins are going to hold him out for a little bit until hes fully healthy.We werent very satisfied with the way his Achilles was coming along. He still had a lot of soreness in the morning when hed wake up, Gruden said. I dont think hes very far away, but were being probably more cautious right now because it is a significant deal. The Achilles for a wide receiver with his explosion, we want it to be 100 percent. We dont want it to re-occur, so were trying to nip it in the bud right now.It has already been a rough road to the NFL for Doctson, who missed the final three games of his collegiate career at TCU, including the Alamo Bowl, with a broken wrist. When he fell to 22, the Redskins took him and envision him as a big piece of their future offense.Even though Doctson isnt in the mix early in training camp, getting him better is a long-term game plan, especially considering that DeSean Jackson and Pierre Garcon are free agents after next season. But with all the chatter about higher expectations coming off an NFC East title, the Redskins would like to get Doctson ready for the season opener Sept. 12 against the Pittsburgh Steelers.Doctson said hes listening to teammates and coaches who are telling him its a long process and is trying to bbe patient despite the Achilles tendon becoming a lingering issue. Cheap Indianapolis Colts Jerseys. Its going to be a long year, so Ive got plenty of time, Doctson said. I heal fast. My first time really being injured was my senior year, and that was a broken wrist. Ive had hamstrings and stuff like that, but I always heal up quick, so Im not really worried about it.Its not anywhere near panic time for Doctson, who hasnt played in a game since Nov. 14 against Kansas. But Gruden joked that the staffs message to Doctson is: Be patient, but hurry up.Thursday was Doctsons first day of rehab for the injury, which first happened at rookie minicamp in May and was then aggravated during organized team activities. What started as a tweak has become a problem bad enough that Washington is slow-playing his health for now.Doctson watched the first day of camp from the sideline but is OK with the conservative approach.Everybody wants to play football, but you cant rush it, the 23-year-old said. I rushed it in OTAs and did what I did. Im just going to be patient this time.Doctson isnt concerned, and neither is quarterback Kirk Cousins, who also brushed off playing on the one-year franchise tag when a long-term deal couldnt get worked out. Cousins doesnt have a long-term deal but hes thinking long term when it comes to Doctson.Well be praying for Josh to get healthy as fast as possible, Cousins said. We do believe hes a great talent and can help us, so were excited not just for this week or next week but for the long haul of what he could for the Redskins.Game notes LG Shawn Lauvao (ankle), LB Perry Riley (foot), TE Derek Carrier (knee) and WR Reggie Diggs (knee) also went on the PUP list Thursday prior to the teams first workout. ...
