The club looks much different than it did a year ago.
Who knows how tired Howard will be, but with Everton still winless and currently sitting 15th, expect the 34-year-old to be between the sticks for this one.
The biggest addition for Everton over the summer is a player Chelsea fans are familiar with—striker Romelu Lukaku. He has been loaned out by the Blues for a second straight year and makes no bones about the fact he is pulling for his new club in this ESPNFC story.
The reason the 20-year-old was loaned out again probably had to do with the signing of Samuel Eto’o (Anzhi Makhachkala), who suffered a slight injury for his native Cameroon against Libya in World Cup qualifying earlier this week.
However, Eto’o was training with Chelsea mid-week and may see his first action for the team here on Saturday.
Other Blues players notable by their absence this season are Juan Mata, David Luiz and Cesar Azpilicueta. Expect all three to get some playing time now the Premier League has revved up and the Champions League is on the not-so-distant horizon.
New signing Willian (Anzhi Makhachkala) should get some valuable minutes so don’t expect any regular starting XI’s from manager Jose Mourinho for the time being as he seeks chemistry from new players who have never played together.
With Lukaku now at Everton, Demba Ba shaky in his recent appearances and 32-year-old Eto’o still unfamiliar with teammates—and possibly nursing a minor injury—expect Fernando Torres to again be the preferred starter up front if Mourinho stays with a 4-2-3-1 formation.
Another player who may start is Andre Schurrle, especially with both Lukaku and Victor Moses (Liverpool) out on loan. So far Schurrle has been impressive when used across the attack but Lukaku and Moses are two incredible talents not to have room for.
Chelsea and goalkeeper Petr Cech have allowed just one goal this season but the Blues should really have their work cut out for them on the road here against Howard and Everton.


In their last 10 meetings, the clubs are 3-4-3, each with 14 goals. Both had 0-0 draws in their last league games so scoring could be at a premium. In this Goodison meeting last season, the Blues were 2-1 winners.
Chelsea is favorite here but this one will be too close to call so why not take a little chance wagering the draw and hope for a 0-0, 1-1 or 2-2 final score?
Makes sense as the Blues haven’t exactly looked world-beaters on offense yet, and the unbeaten but winless Toffees and Leighton Baines will do everything to get their first three points— they will at least put up one helluva fight on home soil.
With both sides coming off the international break and 0-0 scores last time out in Premier League play, an equally small play on the under also makes sense.

Andre Villa Boas will look to his big money signings, Soldado, Lamela and Erickson to help the crowd forget Bale and I think that on Saturday the shackles will come off a Tottenham team that have stuggled to score from open play thus far this season. Spurs have only netted two goals in three games and all three of their games this season have finished 1-0. Norwich City have also struggled in front of goal and won 1-0 last time out against Southampton in a game that they easily could have lost. Overall, Norwich manager Chris Hughton is doing a great job and he will look to set his team up to be hard to beat when the Canaries visit Tottenham this weekend. But on Saturday, I have a feeling that Tottenham are due a big offensive performance and I think if spurs get on top early, they could win this game by three or 4. I'm going to take Tottenham to win minus the handicap.
This week FootyMad's match preview focuses on the game between Tottenham Hotspur and Norwich City at 15:00 on 14th September 2013 in the Premier League.
Footymad preview History of the Tottenham Hotspur v Norwich City fixture


Tottenham Hotspur prepare to entertain Norwich City at White Hart Lane on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The Spurs are clearly on top, having won 15 and lost only 5 of the 27 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at White Hart Lane was just last season, in September 2012, where the two sides shared the spoils courtesy of a 1-1 final scoreline in a Premier League match.
Tottenham Hotspur could not have a worse home record, losing every single one of the last six matches played! These low-scoring games have seen just 0 goals scored and conceded.
The away form of Norwich City is pretty dire, losing every single one of the last six matches played! These low-scoring games have seen just 0 goals scored and conceded.
Tottenham Hotspur lie just outside the playoff positions in the Barclays Premier League, picking up 6 points from their 3 games so far.
Norwich City's 4 points from 3 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 9th position.

 Leicester will be without suspended midfielder Matty James when they resume Sky Bet Championship action against Wigan at the King Power Stadium.
James will serve a one-match ban against the Latics after being sent off for two yellow card offences during the Foxes' defeat at Charlton prior to the international break.
The only other absentee is expected to be Sean St Ledger as he continues to make progress in his recovery from a knee injury.
Andy King (Wales), Kasper Schmeichel (Denmark) and Chris Wood (New Zealand) have returned from international duty unscathed but captain Wes Morgan only got back from winning his first cap for Jamaica on Thursday so manager Nigel Pearson will have to decide if it is too late for him to be involved on Saturday.
Midfielder Dean Hammond will hope to make his Leicester debut after joining the club from Southampton at the end of August.
Winger Callum McManaman, meanwhile, is back from suspension for Wigan.
The 22-year-old has missed the last three Latics games since being sent off moments after coming on as a substitute against Bournemouth last month.
However, boss Owen Coyle is once more likely to be without striker Grant Holt, who has suffered a setback on his return from a knee injury.
Centre-backs Ivan Ramis (knee) and Gary Caldwell (hip) are not expected to be back in first-team action until the end of October.
Loanees Nick Powell and Ryan Shotton, borrowed from Manchester United and Stoke respectively on transfer deadline day, are in line to make their debuts with the former likely to slot into central midfield following James McCarthy's move to Everton.

Middlesbrough manager Tony Mowbray has said striker Kei Kamara has the opportunity to prove his fitness for Saturday's trip to Ipswich Town.Kamara, 29, has been on international duty with his native Sierra Leone, but received a work permit to allow him to complete his move to the Riverside.The former Sporting Kansas City forward signed on transfer deadline day."He'll be in and around, the frustration is he's done no work with the team," Mowbray told BBC Tees."Kei will meet us in Ipswich and we'll have a chat with him and see how he's feeling, whether the travelling has taken its toll."While Kamara came through the international break unscathed, putting him in line to make his debut against the Tractor Boys, Hungary international Josef Varga was injured in a 3-0 defeat by Romania and missed the 5-1 win against Estonia.
"Josef has done well for us and has adapted pretty quickly to this league which is unique in intensity," Mowbray added."He's had to feel his way in, which has been difficult because people expect you to hit the ground running from day one."We'll give him every chance, he's played his part this season and done very well."If Varga is unavailable, Mowbray could turn to another of his August signings in Jacob Butterfield to fill the gap."Jacob knows the league and has played in the league with Barnsley," Mowbray said.

"In training he looks a very technically proficient footballer. If Jacob does get an opportunity we'll hope he hits the ground running."

"Ozil has a style that will integrate (with) our style of play," Wenger said.  "He has all the attributes to be one of our leaders.
"Ozil is at a good age, he is already a great player. There is room for him to become dominant and step up."
Arsenal return from the international break in good form after overcoming arch-rivals Tottenham 1-0 at the Emirates in their last Premier League outing, thanks to a goal from Olivier Giroud.
And Wenger admits that he is glad to get back to action on the pitch after finally ending questions over signings.
The Frenchman was under pressure from sections of the Arsenal fans to bring in new additions during the window, but he insisted he was always confident of managing to capture quality rather than quantity.
"I looked a bit lonely when I said I was optimistic (about a big signing)," he continued. "At the Tottenham game I thought we would manage it. We were open to bring one more player in, or two."
Arsenal will be without Tomas Rosicky (hip) for the visit to Wearside, although Jack Wilshere and Theo Walcott are both available after coming through their international outings with England unscathed.
For Sunderland boss Paolo Di Canio, it has been a tough a start to the campaign, with his side yet to record a win in the league - a 1-1 draw with Southampton sandwiched between defeats to Fulham and Crystal Palace, leaving the club 19th in the table.
The Italian will not be happy to hear either that Sunderland have won just one of their last nine home games against Arsenal in the Premier League.
Di Canio has made three new additions to his squad since the 3-1 defeat at Selhurst Park last time out, bringing in Ki Sung-Yueng, Andrea Dossena and Fabio Borini before the window closed.
The latter is on loan from Liverpool and has targeted a regular run in Di Canio's side after struggling with injuries over recent seasons.


"My first thought is to have a clear season with nothing major happening," he told The Sunderland Echo.
“I've always proved myself in the short-term – Swansea was a three-month loan (where he scored six in eight Championship starts) and then it was three months at Roma before injuries.
"I would like at least six or seven months without getting injured, which would mean all season."
Sunderland could welcome back Lee Cattermole while strikers Jozy Altidore and Steven Fletcher are also both available for selection.
However, they will be without the suspended John O'Shea as well as Craig Gardner (groin) and Phil Bardsley (ankle).

Bournemouth's new signing Tokelo Rantie has been granted a UK visa and could make his debut in Saturday's Sky Bet Championship clash with Blackpool at Dean Court.
Manager Eddie Howe confirmed his record signing had gained the necessary paperwork, but he is yet to arrive in the country after international duty and his new manager will leave it late before making the call.
Winger Matt Ritchie is "not too far away" according to Howe having been missing since pre-season but the former Burnley boss has been keeping his cards close to his chest on his two other absentees.
Josh McQuiod and Eunan O'Kane were both sidelined before the international break and Howe confirmed he is unsure whether they will be match fit for the clash with the unbeaten Tangerines.
Top-of-the-table Blackpool, meanwhile, could give forward Thomas Ince his first start in over a month.
The Sky Bet Championship's surprise package have shot to the summit despite the absence of their highly-rated 21-year-old, whose only act since August 5 was to come off the bench and score the winner against Watford at Bloomfield Road.
Ince has been struggling with a groin injury and did not feature for the England Under-21s in either of their recent games, yet that was more as a precaution.
The Tangerines have centre-back Gary Mackenzie (hamstring) back in training while Northern Ireland international Craig Cathcart (knee) faces a late fitness test.
Deadline-day recruits Bradley Orr, Nathan Tyson and Dutch winger Marvin Zeegelaar are all awaiting their debuts.

Stoke V Man City  Live Stream  Stoke V Man City, Stoke V Man City online free, Stoke V Man City live stream video.Manchester City travel to Stoke on Saturday looking for their first ever Premier League victory at the Britannia Stadium. The 2011-12 champions have visited Stoke on five occasions since their return to the top flight in 2008, collecting just four points along the way.The last four league meetings between the sides in the Midlands have ended in 1-1 draws, with Javi Garcia earning a point for the visitors after Peter Crouch's opener in the most recent clash there in September last year.
However, both sides go into this clash under new management, with Manuel Pellegrini having taken the reins at the Etihad Stadium after Roberto Mancini's departure late last season, while former City boss Mark Hughes has replaced Tony Pulis at Stoke.
Hughes spent 18 months at the helm at City between June 2008 and December 2009, and has lost three of his four meetings against them since leaving - games that came during his time in charge of Fulham and QPR.
But the Welshman will hope to emulate his record against his former employers from his period as manager of Blackburn Rovers between 2004 and 2008 - when he won four and drew four of his eight encounters with them - at his new club.
Another former City man looking to make an impression at Stoke is midfielder Stephen Ireland, who arrived at the Britannia Stadium on a season-long loan from Aston Villa on transfer deadline day.
The 27-year-old - who is in line to make his debut on Saturday - enjoyed the most productive season of his career under Hughes at the Etihad Stadium in 2008-09, when he scored nine Premier League goals.
And the former Republic of Ireland international cannot wait to work with the 49-year-old and his coaching team again.


"They are all really good people, and I mean it when I say that I am excited to be here working with them again, they are the best coaching staff that I have ever had," he told Stoke's official matchday programme.
Hughes has a fully fit squad to choose from for the game - a luxury not enjoyed by the man in the opposite dug-out.
Pellegrini will again be without captain Vincent Kompany, who is continuing to recover from a groin injury, while new signing Martin Demichelis is expected to be out for around another month with a knee problem and Micah Richards (hamstring) remains absent.
Playmaker David Silva is also a doubt after suffering a minor thigh complaint while on international duty with Spain.

Freedman plans to assess the ex-United striker’s condition tomorrow morning, hours before Leeds and Bolton Wanderers meet at the Reebok Stadium.
Beckford, who joined Wanderers from Leicester City in July, represented Jamaica this week and arrived back in Lancashire yesterday. Freedman is yet to decide whether he will start against the club who launched his professional career.
Bolton boss Freedman –himself a former United player – said: “I can’t imagine Jermaine wanting to miss Leeds but we’ve got to be professional. We need to see his eyes and see how he is after the long travelling and playing for 40 minutes.
“Jermaine’s going through a spell where he’s not scoring as many goals as he would like but if he keeps on getting in the right areas and keeps getting the opportunities then goals will come. It’s a no brainer for me.”
Beckford scored 85 times during three excellent seasons at Elland Road and claimed the goal which lifted Leeds out of League One in 2010.
The 29-year-old has made three appearances against United since leaving the club – two for Leicester City and one for Huddersfield Town –but has failed to find the net.

Team News:
Cardiff have started the better of the three teams promoted from the Championship and currently sit 11th with four points from their three games, while Hull are in the bottom three - having won once against Norwich, but losing to Chelsea and Manchester City away from home.
Malky Mackay's side beat City at home, while also securing a point against Everton before the international break in a strong start to the season and they will hope to keep that run going, although they have won just five times in 30 visits to east Yorkshire, with Hull having triumphed in 11.
Steven Caulker could return for Cardiff, having withdrawn from England's squad due to an ankle injury, although doubts are held over goalkeeper David Marshall (hip) who was forced off in Scotland's World Cup qualifying win over Macedonia on Tuesday.
Andreas Cornelius (ankle) is definitely out, while Craig Conway will also not feature, having been omitted from Cardiff's 25-man Premier League squad.
The Scottish winger scored the goal to seal Cardiff's Championship title in a 1-1 draw at Burnley in April, but has featured in just 35 minutes of August's Capital One Cup win over Accrington Stanley.
Mackay is confident that Conway, who submitted a transfer request last season in his search for regular first-team football, will respond to the snub in the best possible manner.
He said: "This was not a cold hard decision. Me and my staff sat down and chatted. We looked right across the squad and tried to come up with the correct balance and we believe we have done that.
"But also I believe it is for the best for Craig too. He is player who is really establishing himself with Scotland at international level under Gordon (Strachan).
"To do that he will need to be playing games and that was going to prove difficult here."
Scottish duo Allan McGregor (groin) and George Boyd (ankle) should be available for Hull, despite missing international duty, while Sone Aluko is struggling with a hamstring injury and Yannick Sagbo will serve the last game of a three-match ban.


However, Abdoulaye Faye could return, having come through a reserve fixture in the week, much to Bruce's delight.
"I would never want to pick out individuals but one of the big reasons we're at the level we are today was big Abdoulaye," Bruce told The Hull Daily Mail.
"He was terrific in those last few months of the season. It's great to see him back with all the experience that he brings. That’s a great help to us and he comes back into a very strong part of our squad."

 Mainz
Mainz had a fantastic start of this season picking up three wins in the opening three matches, but in the last round they were brought down to earth heavily losing 4-1 to Hannover 96 away. It was first really bad performance by Mainz, and they could have easily conceded more than four goals in that match.

Bad news for Mainz is that their standard Danish midfielder Niki Ziemling suffered a hamstring injury, while playing for Denmark against Armenia in the qualifier during midweek, and will be out of the team for the following three weeks. So the option left for coach Thomas Tuchel is to use Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting at Ziemling`s position, but Choupo-Moting is not the same quality player as Ziemling is, so that side in the Mainz formation will be weaker.

In the recent head to head Bundesliga games, Mainz have managed two wins, two draws and two losses against Schalke 04. Also there were at least three goals scored in the last five out of six Bundesliga matches played between Mainz and Schalke 04.


Schalke 04


Schalke 04 finally managed a nice 2-0 home win against the favorites Bayer Leverkusen in the last round. Their deadline transfer addition from AC Milan - Kevin-Prince Boateng settled in really well right away from the start, and he was amongst the best team players in the match against Bayer Leverkusen. Jefferson Farfan was also great in that game, so the trio Farfan, Boateng and Draxler is expected to be amongst the dangerous midfield lines in the league.

The left-back and former German national team player - Dennis Aogo, who came from Hamburg, also strengthened the defense, so i expect Schalke 04 to start climbing up the table in the following weeks.

Team captain Benedikt Howedes returns back in the starting line up after serving his red card suspension, but Klaas-Jan Huntelaar is still not ready to play. Adam Szalai will once again be the only striker in the formation and Huntelaar is expected back in the team next week.

 From 32 matches played between these two teams, only five matches have ended in draws. Bayer Leverkusen have 16 wins and Wolfsburg have 11 wins.Bayer Leverkusen are definitely one of the best three teams in Germany right now, while Wolfsburg are too inconsistent and not very reliable. I expect Bayer Leverkusen to be highly motivated in this match, as if they drop points again this early in the season, they will hardly catch up with Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund later on.I think Bayer Leverkusen will get back on a winning track this weekend, and i suggest backing them to win.
Bayer Leverkusen

After the perfect start of three straight wins, Bayer Leverkusen lost their last away match with 2-0 against Schalke 04. For the first time this season, they showed a bad performance and their way of playing in that game was not that fluid as it was in the previous games. However, the International break came in perfect time for the team to refresh and regroup, and i expect them to get back again in their winning days.

Stefan Kiessling failed to score for the first time this season in the match against Schalke 04 and also the wingers had a bad day.

The Italian right-back Giulio Donati is a player to watch, as he was impressive in his first three performances for Bayer Leverkusen. He is a perfect replacement for last season`s great on-loan right-back Daniel Carvajal who returned back to Real Madrid.

Positive for Bayer Leverkusen is that they have a full squad available for selection, and even their latest addition from TSG Hoffenheim, the striker Eren Derdiyok might get some playing time in this match as well.

Probable Bayer Leverkusen line-up :
Leno,Donati, Toprak, Spahic, Boenisch,L. Bender, Reinartz, Castro,Sam, Kiessling, Son

Wolfsburg

Wolfsburg started this season with two wins and two losses, and they are still searching their best form. Last season Wolfsburg lacked consistency in their games and it seems that they still cannot find a way to tie several good games in a row.

They managed a 2-0 home win over Hertha Berlin in their last match, but they were not that impressive in that game.

In the last moments of the transfer window they lost two players. Japanese midfielder Makoto Hasebe moved to Nuremberg, and their striker Patrick Helmes returned to his home-town team of Cologne.

Wolfsburg have a weak bench, coach Dieter Hecking uses almost the same staring eleven in every match this season, so it will be interesting to see for how long they can hold up with the top teams in the league.

Defensive midfielders Koo and Luiz Gustavo, wingers Vierinha and Ivan Perisic, and the striker Ivica Olic were all out with their national teams during the past week at long trips across the world, so that might have an impact on the team performance this weekend.

Probable Wolfsburg line-up :
Benaglio,Träsch, Naldo, Knoche, Rodriguez,Koo, Luiz Gustavo,Vieirinha, Diego, Perisic,
Olic

Only Hull have had fewer shots than Fulham (24) while West Brom are the only side yet to score in the league.
Fulham will hope to change that trend however, having avoided defeat in their last 5 matches against West Brom and scored 15 goals in their last 5 home league games against the Baggies.
The home advantage may well be telling in this fixture and Fulham could secure their second win of the season, though they may have to settle for the odd goal this time out. A win on Saturday against West Brom at Craven Cottage could inch Martin Jol a little farther from the hot seat, but a loss could crank the temperature up to broiling. Steve Clarke's Baggies reloaded on transfer deadline day and this bottom-of-the-table clash is massive for both sides.
It seemed altogether more fitting to trail into an ellipses rather than feign excitement with an exclamation point or even confidently state the facts with a full stop.
The fact of the matter is, Fulham haven't given us much to be excited about thus far and the club's deadline day (lack of) activity didn't exactly stoke the flames of passion. Although, as I've suggested, it's quite possible that Shahid Khan was satisfied with the club's earlier transfer window activity, is unconvinced by Martin Jol, and wants to let it ride until January, or even before, before he decides on whether or not Jol is his man.
Saturday's home match against a West Brom side desperate for a win will either inch Jol closer to security or hurl him to the top of the first-manager-to-be-sacked list.
In some ways, it's an unfair deal for the Dutchman. Three points in the bag and on to the next one is what everyone is wanting and expecting given the Baggies' dismal start to the season. However, Steve Clarke was able to bring in Morgan Amalfitano, Stephane Sessegnon, and Victor Anichebe on transfer deadline day and suddenly a side that has yet to score a goal in the 2013/14 campaign looks significantly more capable, especially down the flanks. Fulham, through a combination of injuries, aging legs, and disinterested attack-minded players has struggled defending the flanks, especially on the left side where the fleet-footed Sessegnon is likely to operate against the concrete-footed John Arne Riise.
Brede Hangeland and Aaron Hughes will have their hands full with one or both of messrs. Anelka and Anichebe and without plenty of midfield help tracking runs into the defensive third, the Fulham back four could be pushed and pulled dangerously out of shape.
On the other hand, West Brom wasn't one Amalfitano, one Sessegnon, and one Anichebe away from being a brilliant side. With any luck, the international break afforded Dimitar Berbatov and Darren Bent, two players unencumbered by national team duty, the opportunity to get on the same page - or at least in the same book - when it comes to how they will play together. If Martin Jol wants to keep his job I hope he was in on that conversation too.
The Baggies find themselves bottom of the table for a reason, but I have confidence that they won't prop up the rest of the Premier League for long. Let's just hope they don't start their ascent Saturday.

Fulham
Fulham continue to have problems at the back with Kieran Richardson still sidelined, while Aaron Hughes missed international duty in the week with a thigh problem.
Meanwhile Fernando Amorebieta is yet to make his debut, though he is nearing a return to fitness from a knock and could be in contention.
Stekelenburg should be back fit but will have competition in goal from Stockdale, who impressed against Newcastle last time out.

West Bromwich Albion
James Morrison pulled out of international duty along with compatriot Graham Dorrans so both are doubtful for this one but could be in contention.
Youngster George Thorne is back in training but will need to play some reserve matches before he is ready for first team action.
With Ben Foster set to miss out for some time Boaz Myhill should continue to get the nod over Luke Daniels in goal.
New signings Sessegnon, Anichebe and Amalfitano could all be in contention but may settle for a place on the bench this time out.

Hannover coach Mirko Slomka is keeping his fingers crossed that Mame Diouf will be able to lead his side's attack against Bayern Munich on Saturday, and more importantly that he will commit to a new contract.
The Senegalese forward is attracting interest from clubs throughout Europe, but Slomka hopes he can convince the player to stay where he is.
``I'm happy and grateful that Mame is currently a Hannover player,'' he said. ``All the rest is the job of our manager Dirk Dufner.
``He's leading talks and trying to tie him down to us beyond next summer. I think that we have good arguments to convince him to accept a new long-term contract with Hannover.''
Diouf has netted twice this season and is currently leading the Reds' charge into the top three of the Bundesliga, which is why Slomka hopes he will be able to pick him at the Allianz Arena on Saturday.
``We'll have to see. Diouf has extraordinary qualities and he is one of the Bundesliga's top strikers,'' Slomka said.
``If he's not fit, then we're going to have to change something.''
Bayern coach Pep Guardiola most certainly has to change something given the absence of midfield trio Thiago Alcantara, Bastian Schweinsteiger and Javi Martinez.
Their combined loss could not come at much a worse time, according to midfielder Arjen Robben, who is looking ahead to three weeks in which Bayern have a packed fixture list.
``Things are really going to get busy now and this is when we need all of our players,'' said the Dutchman.
``Therefore it's a shame that we're without three important players.''
Bayern will be looking to bounce back from an ``unnecessary'' draw with Freiburg, according to Robben, who should be joined by UEFA's Best Player in Europe Franck Ribery and Thomas Muller, behind the lone striker Mario Mandzukic.

Match Preview: Saturday 14th Sep,2013, One of the important match Aston Villa V Newcastle of England Premier League HD Quality Live  Aston Villa V Newcastle streaming is available here Aston Villa V Newcastle Live Stream online video England Premier League Video Free The match will take plcae at  on 9/14/13 Preview Pictures and Wallpapers its mean all things are available in my blog please see and check here for latest things.Aston Villa V Newcastle Live Stream Aston Villa V Newcastle,Aston Villa V Newcastle online free, Aston Villa V Newcastle live stream video.Despite having an impressive start to their season in three extremely tough opening fixtures Villa will have pinpointed this as the real start to their league campaign and will look to get their first home win on the board. Newcastle, however, will come into the game in confident mood after picking up their first three points of the season last time out and due to a number of returning stars they pose far more of a challenge than early on in the season.

Team News:
The French core of the side will be key for the Magpies while Villa will look to their pace on the counter and play to their strengths. This should be a tight and entertaining affair.
Stephen Ireland admits his time at Aston Villa is as good as over after joining Stoke City on loan.
Ireland left Villa for Stoke on transfer deadline day after finding himself frozen out of the first-team picture under Paul Lambert.
The 27-year-old, who has joined Stoke on a season-long loan, is in the final year of his contract at Villa and he accepts he is likely to leave the club on a permanent basis next summer.
Ireland says he would be interested in a move to Stoke on a full-time basis after being encouraged by his first impressions of the club.
Asked if he thought his spell at Villa was as good as over, Ireland told Sky Sports: "I would think so, although I am still officially contracted to them.
"If I do well at Stoke and they want me at the end of the loan spell - and as I will be out of contract - I think that, yes, my Villa career is effectively over.


Aston Villa: Nathan Baker should be back in contention from an ankle injury but is unlikely to go straight back into the side, with new signing Jores Okore perhaps the favourite to start alongside Vlaar after an impressive home debut against Liverpool.
Full-backs Lowton and Luna were both rested in cup action against Rotherham but should return to start, while Karim El Ahmadi may replace Leandro Bacuna in the only change from the last league game.
Andi Weimann started both international games for Austria during the break so may be a little fatigued, while new signing Libor Kozak should be among the substitutes having scored against Italy in midweek.

Newcastle United: Ryan Taylor is the only player certain to miss out against Villa, though he may be joined on the sidelines by Jonas Gutierrez who is still recovering from a hamstring injury.
The visitors welcome back Steven Taylor from suspension, however he may struggle to find a place in the team straight away, while new signing Loic Remy and key man Yohan Cabaye are both available after the latter failed to secure a desired move to Arsenal.
Remy could partner Cisse up front with Newcastle looking far more threatening after his and Cabaye's introduction from the bench against Fulham, so the latter is also likely to start in place of Anita.
Newcastle have failed to win 19 of their last 21 away matches in the Premier League.
Newcastle United will steal the ball from the opposition often     
Aston Villa will stray offside often

Kightly ready for Clarets bowNew Burnley loanee Michael Kightly is in line for a baptism of fire if he makes his debut against east Lancashire rivals Blackburn on Saturday.
The Clarets swooped for the Stoke winger on transfer deadline day and he could slot straight into Sean Dyche's XI at Turf Moor for the derby contest.
Dyche only has one injury worry to contend with - midfielder Ross Wallace is out until the new year due to a knee injury as he looks to guild Burnley to their first win over Rovers in 34 years.
The side which started the 3-0 win against Derby before the international break is likely to be given the nod again at Turf Moor, with Kightly possibly displacing Keith Treacy or Scott Arfield in the only change.

Team News:
Striker Jordan Rhodes has been fitted with a cast on his broken hand and will be available for Blackburn.
Rhodes has struck four times in his last two outings but gave Rovers fans a scare ahead of the meeting with their neighbours when he pulled out of the Scotland squad at the start of the week. However, after having the cast fitted, Blackburn have declared him fit for the clash at Turf Moor.
There is less good news elsewhere, though, with David Dunn - whose last-gasp goal against the Clarets at Ewood Park last year salvaged a point - out for the next couple of weeks due to a knee injury.
Midfielder Lee Williamson (back) and full-back Adam Henley (hamstring) will be in Gary Bowyer's squad but DJ Campbell (ankle), Paul Robinson (back), Dickson Etuhu (knee) and Ruben Rochina (shoulder) all miss out again.
Pawson's last Burnley game was the home draw with Millwall in September last year when he had something of a nightmare and Brown, who sent Kieran Trippier off at Leeds two seasons ago, last refereed us at Ipswich in November last season.
There will be more on the two referees in the build ups to the respective games.
Back in January 1972 Burnley jumped a queue of clubs to sign 21-year-old goalkeeper Alan Stevenson from Chesterfield, and, in the last few days, he's left his first club again to sign with fellow League Two club York City.
Chesterfield had built up a reputation of producing goalkeepers around forty years ago and it was there manager Jimmy Adamson went looking when he realised a replacement was needed for Peter Mellor.
He paid £50,000 for Stevenson, and only Paul Fletcher at the time had cost Burnley money, and the new goalkeeper went on to play 438 league games for us, just one short of the post-war record held jointly by John Angus and Jimmy McIlroy.


Over the last three days you've been voting for the August Goal of the Month. There were 14 goals to choose from but 13 of those goals were never in with a chance of winning it.
That was because Danny Ings' fifth and last goal of the month, our opener at Pride Park last Saturday in the 3-0 win against Derby, was, by some margin, the one voted the best.
It won 79.9% of the vote, a massive return given the number of goals to select from, and that left so few votes for the remaining goals that only one other, Keith Treacy's opener against Yeovil, got past 5%.
The winning goal, which looks better every time I see it, came when Dean Marney played the ball forward from the edge of our box as far as Treacy who flicked it on for Ings just our side of the half way line.
It was a brilliant flick but Ings still had a lot to do and do it he did. He moved forward with the ball before brushing past the last defender on the edge of the box, a defender who now claims he should have done better by fouling Ings, before slotting the ball across and past former Burnley goalkeeper Lee Grant.
The four managers nominated are those with the clubs in the top three places - Paul Ince (Blackpool), Harry Redknapp (QPR) and Dyche - along with Eddie Howe who has steered Bournemouth into sixth place following their promotion last season despite their two heavy defeats on the road.
The Football League, in confirming Dyche's nomination, said: "Three wins and a draw from five games following the eve-of-season sale of the prolific Charlie Austin demonstrated Dyche's ability to make believers of his players. Built a firm foundation with three clean sheets."

Burnley: Heaton; Trippier, Duff, Shackell, Mee; Treacy, Marney, Edgar, Arfield; Vokes, Ing

Blackburn Rovers: Kean; Kane, Hanley, Dann, Spurr; King, Lowe, Evans, Marshall; Cairney, Rhodes

New Manchester United signing Marouane Fellaini could make his debut for the Premier League champions.Wayne Rooney is not expected to be rushed back from a head injury so Danny Welbeck should support Robin van Persie, while Chris Smalling may replace Phil Jones at right-back.Crystal Palace loan signings Barry Bannan and Cameron Jerome are both likely to feature at Old Trafford.Jonathan Parr could return after missing five months through injury. It's very early days of course, but it's been a mixed bag for 'new era'-Manchester United so far this season as they prepare to face Crystal Palace, a team they've never lost to in eight previous meetings in the Premier League era.

Team News:
Four points from the opening nine is their lowest total in four seasons and this match comes after they failed to score in back-to-back league games for the first time since 2007. The serene and impressive start at Swansea has been followed by a stalemate with Chelsea and then a narrow defeat at Anfield, leaving David Moyes with the same record from his first three league games as his predecessor at Old Trafford. This, however, is a game that every United fan will expect three points from against their newly-promoted opponents.
I thought Palace did fairly well when I saw them against Tottenham on the opening weekend of the season in a 1-0 defeat at Selhurst Park, a day most memorable for Ian Holloway's post-match meltdown - which has cost him an £18,000 fine and two-match touchline ban, starting with this match.
The narrow loss to Spurs wasn't harsh, but they battled hard against one of the top sides and Kagisho Dikgacoi brought a good save from Hugo Lloris near the end as they pushed for a late equaliser.
A 2-1 defeat at Stoke, after taking the lead, and then a confidence boosting 3-1 home success over Paolo Di Canio's Sunderland are the only other things we've got to go on so far - it's a decent enough start.
When he was in charge of Blackpool in the Premier League, Ian Holloway's team had a real go against Manchester United... scoring twice both home and away against them only to end up losing the two games. A win here with his latest club really would be headline news. Interestingly enough though, Crystal Palace were actually victorious the last time they played at Old Trafford - 2-1 after extra time in a Carling Cup tie a couple of years ago.
Whatever happens in this one, we'll miss Holloway's energetic and intense presence on the touchline.
  
Head-to-head
Crystal Palace have never beaten Manchester United in eight Premier League meetings, losing six and drawing twice.
The Eagles have not won a league match at Old Trafford since a 2-1 victory in December 1989.
But they did emerge winners from their last fixture at Old Trafford, prevailing 2-1 after extra time in the League Cup fifth round in November 2011.
United have won 529 Premier League matches, compared to Crystal Palace's sum total of 38.

Manchester United
Four points from a possible nine is Manchester United's lowest points total after three games since 2008-09 (also four points).
This is the first time Manchester United have failed to score in back-to-back Premier League games since 2007 (between 9 May and 12 August 2007 they failed to score in three on the spin).
David Moyes has matched Sir Alex Ferguson's record of one win, one draw and one defeat from his opening three league matches.


Crystal Palace
Palace have three points from three games this season. In their last top-flight season (2004-05), they picked up only one from their opening six matches.
In their last season in the Premier League (2004-05), Crystal Palace scored 11 penalties - a joint-record in the competition. Palace also scored more penalties than any other side in the top four divisions last season (13 - including the playoffs).
In their last match (against Sunderland), 12 of Palace's 18 shots came from outside the box.
Danny Gabbidon scored his first Premier League goal against Sunderland. He has now scored in all four English league divisions.
The Eagles have taken the lead in each of the last two fixtures (they also led against Stoke before losing).
