FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. Custom Detroit Lions Jerseys . -- Roddy White isnt concerned that he might not be 100 per cent healthy for the remainder of the season. The four-time Pro Bowl receiver just wants to get back on the field and help the Atlanta Falcons end their terrible slump. "Weve got to try to string some wins back to back if were going to get ourselves back in this race," White said Friday. "So its going to be important for me to be out there." Nine months after their season ended 10 yards shy of the Super Bowl, the Falcons have been one of the leagues biggest disappointments. They have lost four of five and are tied for the NFCs fourth-worst record. A season-ending foot injury to Pro Bowl receiver Julio Jones four weeks ago cost Atlanta one of the NFLs elite deep threats, and the passing attack has been further compromised by Whites right ankle and left hamstring injuries. White is eager to play Sunday when the Falcons (2-5) visit Carolina (4-3). The ninth-year veteran returned to practice Friday for the first time in over three weeks and is listed as questionable. "It went well," he said. "I ran some routes and did some things that are in the game plan. I felt real good out there." White played the first five games with a high ankle sprain, but had just 14 catches for 129 yards and no touchdowns -- far below the weekly statistics he accustomed to posting as the Falcons career-leading receiver. In helping Atlanta win the NFC South last year, White became just the fifth NFL player to have three consecutive seasons with at least 90 catches and 1,200 yards receiving. Coach Mike Smith says Whites status will be a game-time decision. White must successfully complete a hamstring test with trainers before team doctors will clear him to play. White, who missed the first game of his career two weeks ago in a home victory over Tampa Bay, has stood on the sideline the last two weeks and is eager to return to action. "That might be an understatement," Smith said. "Hes one of the most passionate, competitive guys that Ive been around. The sooner we get him back out, the better it is for everybody." Three other starters -- left tackle Sam Baker (knee), safety William Moore (hip) and defensive end Osi Umenyiora (knee) -- are also listed as questionable. All three practiced Friday but, like White, were limited in their participation. Linebacker Stephen Nicholas (thigh) has been ruled out for the second straight week. The Falcons passing attack ranks No. 4 in the NFL, but those numbers are somewhat misleading after Jones season ended when he was leading the league in yards receiving and ranked second in catches. Injuries to Jones and White have allowed opponents to double- and triple-team Pro Bowl tight end Tony Gonzalez, the NFLs No. 2 career-leading receiver. Unfortunately for Atlanta, quarterback Matt Ryan, when hes not being sacked or hit, has been forced to direct an offence thats essentially one-dimensional. With Steven Jackson hampered by a hamstring injury and the lines poor blocking, the Falcons rank last in the league in the rushing, but because theyre often trailing, Ryan has had to throw the ball throughout the second half. If White can return effectively, the team is confident that Harry Douglas will continue to improve as the No. 2 receiver and that Gonzalez might get more separation in coverage, particularly if hes matched up one-on-one. "At the beginning of the season, you know youve got a really good team with everybody (healthy), but seeing how banged up we are right now, youve just got to find ways to win games," White said. "Its tough sledding, but its the NFL, though." Notes: Smith said that Jones, who is still recovering from surgery, has been at the Falcons complex the last three days, but added that the 24-year-old has his leg immobilized and must not put weight on it. ... Starting linebacker Akeem Dent (ankle), reserve defensive tackle Peria Jerry (toe) and starting right guard Garrett Reynolds (knee) participated fully in practice and are listed as probable. ... The Panthers have three starters listed as questionable -- running back DeAngelo Williams (quadriceps), defensive end Charles Johnson (groin) and linebacker Chase Blackburn (foot).

For Chelsea, they need to get back into the race for the top four, and for Leicester, if they lose it will be one of the worst ever starts to a title defence.I wouldnt say a win puts Chelsea back in the title hunt, I have seen plenty of them this season and Id be shocked if they won the league from this position. But it could get them back in the race for Champions League qualification. Watch NOW TV Watch Sky Sports for just ￡6.99. No contract I think opponents have sussed out Leicester. When Liverpool ripped them to shreds, they squeezed hard and were nicking the ball for fun.Leicester are not going to pass around you, and when you are organised at the back, its difficult for them to create. I dont see anything other than a Chelsea win.PAUL PREDICTS: 3-1 (Sky Bet odds 10/1) Hull 0-2 Chelsea Middlesbrough v Watford - Super Sunday, live on Sky Sports 1 HD from 12.30pm It depends which Watford turns up - the one that beat Man Utd or the one that was poor against Burnley.They let in goals and score plenty, and theres not bundles between the two teams in terms of quality, so I think it will be an entertaining draw.PAUL PREDICTS: 2-2 (Sky Bet odds 14/1) West Ham 1-1 Middlesbrough Southampton v Burnley - Super Sunday, live on Sky Sports 1 HD from 3.30pmSouthampton are a good team and I think some people are underestimating them. You look at their back four and they wouldnt look out of place at a club like Arsenal.They should have won easily at Leicester, and I dont care what standard of football you are playing, to keep six straight clean sheets like theyve done is some achievement. Burnley were unlucky and should have got a draw against Arsenal, but they have struggled on their travels.PAUL PREDICTS: 2-0 (Sky Bet odds 9/2) Leicester 0-0 Southampton Liverpool v Man Utd - Monday Night Football, live on Sky Sports 1 HD from 7pmI dont think Man Utd will be able to live with Liverpools attacking players and if the hosts start quickly they will have too much at Anfield.This is a huge game for Man Utd, though, because Im predicting Arsenal, Chelsea, Man City and Tottenham all to win, and the gap could grow quickly. All the top teams are capable of stringing six wins together so you dont want to be playing catch-up this early. Im not sure Jose Mourinho knows his best team yet and he needs to get that sorted. They played well for 20 minutes against Stoke, but for a large part of that game they didnt look like scoring.Considering the way Liverpool press high, I think Man Utd will struggle to open the game up.PAUL PREDICTS: 3-1 (Sky Bet odds 14/1) Premier League Vault | Liverpool 1-2 Man Utd 2012 West Brom v Tottenham - Saturday, 3pmTottenham are playing very well at the moment and while the Man City result was brilliant, these are the types of games that win you Premier League titles. Kenny Golladay Jersey. If Harry Kane got injured last season you couldnt see Spurs winning a game for toffee. Now it seems like nothing has changed despite his absence, which is a massive compliment to the other players.West Brom have turned the corner but I have been majorly impressed by Tottenham.PAUL PREDICTS: 0-3 (Sky Bet odds 12/1) Sunderland 1-1 West Brom Bournemouth v Hull City - Saturday, 3pmI fancy Bournemouth at home. They are playing well and got a good result at Watford after beating Everton.If they win this game too, they could have a really comfortable season. Its only early but you need to win the games against the teams around you and I think Bournemouth will do that on Saturday.They play an open style of football and Jack Wilshere looked very sharp against Watford - I know he missed a sitter but hes getting back to where he was at Arsenal.PAUL PREDICTS: 3-1 (Sky Bet odds 14/1) Watford 2-2 Bournemouth Arsenal v Swansea - Saturday, 3pmIf I was Bob Bradley, I would probably have waited until Monday before taking charge! This is a tough first game.Swansea have a great recent record at the Emirates and Arsenal were lucky against Burnley, but I see a Gunners victory here. Play Super 6! Play the Soccer Saturday Super 6 game NOW! What has impressed me with Arsenal is they werent great against Southampton and Burnley, but they won both matches. In previous years they would have probably dropped points.Its always dangerous coming off an international break and star players like Alexis Sanchez will have done a lot of travelling, but the way Arsenal are playing at the moment means Swansea will do well to get near them.PAUL PREDICTS: 3-0 (Sky Bet odds 7/1) Burnley 0 - 1 Arsenal Stoke v Sunderland - Saturday, 3pmThese two teams are at the bottom for a reason. Still, each will think it only takes one big win to get up and running.It would be massive for Sunderland, who have thrown away quite a few points already this season. I dont usually go against Stoke at home, though, and I know their record is poor at the moment but there was cause for optimism at Old Trafford.David Moyes side have been a bit unlucky at times but they are so reliant on Jermain Defoe its scary.PAUL PREDICTS: 2-0 (Sky Bet odds 8/1) Manchester Utd 1-1 Stoke Man City v Everton - Saturday, 3pmEverton have gone off the boil a little bit recently and I dont see how they can match Tottenhams tempo when they beat Man City.They need to press high and make sure Claudio Bravo cant pass it out. You let him kick it long because they have Raheem Sterling, Sergio Aguero and David Silva, and none of them are over 5ft 8in.Teams are catching on to this because it forces City to take even more chances at the back, which gives you opportunities. But can Everton play that way for 90 minutes? I dont think so.City always have a go and Everton will create chances, so it should be high scoring.PAUL PREDICTS: 3-2 (Sky Bet odds 20/1) Tottenham 2-0 Man City Crystal Palace v West Ham - Saturday, 5.30pmChristian Benteke should be unplayable. He is tall, strong, quick and great in the air, and it was just a lack of confidence at Liverpool. Hes got that back now and has been great for Palace.In contrast, West Ham are struggling and their confidence is shot, so if Alan Pardews side start quickly I can see them running away with it.It is a concerning time for the Hammers because it took an unbelievable piece of magic by Dimitri Payet to get a draw at home to Middlesbrough.They have played Watford, Bournemouth, Southampton and Boro at the London Stadium and only have one win. All the big boys are still to come.PAUL PREDICTS: 3-1 (Sky Bet odds 14/1) Everton 1-1 Crystal Palace You can watch Liverpool v Man Utd, plus Englands tour of Bangladesh and the British Masters on Sky Sports.
