February fixtures preview.....

All teams are scheduled to play 3 times in Feb except Watford and Wigan who will play 4 times. Although with Wigan struggling for any sort of form at the moment the extra fixture might just be a recipe for conceding more goals.

The Watford fixtures are more interesting to study in that the Hornets have had 2 recent victories against West Ham (FA Cup) and Blackburn. 3 of Watford's game in Feb are at home - Bolton, Wigan and Everton and they have to travel to West Ham who are desperately low on confidence. We reckon 2 clean sheets are not out of the question for Aidy Boothroyd's men - particuarly if they come away from Old Trafford tonight without being thumped.

The following teams play 2 of their 3 games at home in Feb: Liverpool, Tottenham, Blackburn, Midlesbrough, Manchester City, Aston Villa, Fulham and Charlton.

In the search for clean sheets no one teams fixtures really jump out. It would be no surprise if the top 4 don't concede many goals and of the others Blackburn playing Sheff Utd and Portsmouth at home and Everton away is tempting along with Bolton who have Fulham at home and Watford and Spurs away.

We'll update the blog tomorrow with the form players from January.
