This weeks Predictions

Bolton vs. Aston Villa

Bolton need another win to qualm any fears of relegation and they could get it here. Aston Villa have been struggling greatly in the last few months with no win since early February. Their main problems have been defensively and the Reebok Stadium is notorious for teams being put under a lot of pressure in their box, which could lead to a Villa collapse.

Score: 2-0

Everton vs. Man City

Everton are on a massive high at the moment with the upcoming FA Cup final. The chairman has been singing the managers praises, and Moyes, has nothing but compliments for his injury hit squad. They have been on a great run since their poor start to the season, without which they could be pushing Arsenal mighty close for 4th place right now.
City struggle greatly away from home and have nothing to play for now. This could end up the same as Sven’s last game in charge up at Middlesbrough.

Score: 3-0

Fulham vs. Stoke

This encounter features two teams who have performed above all expectations this season. Fulham’s turnaround has been remarkable and Roy Hodgson deserves all the praise for the marvellous job he has done. They play very good football and are very difficult to beat away from home.
In contrast, Stoke have been a disaster away from home, picking up only one win. Tony Pulis has his side’s determined home performances to thank for the clubs expected survival in the Premiership.

Score: 2-0

Hull vs. Liverpool

Hull look in serious trouble. After their astonishing start to the season, their fall from grace has been equally dramatic. They have very difficult fixtures to come and are the team that Newcastle and Middlesbrough will be hoping to overtake.
Liverpool are in great form and are giving the title a real go in the run in. Rafael Benitez will be kicking himself that he didn’t encourage his side to play in a similar fashion earlier on in the season, which has probably cost them the title.

Score: 1-4

West Brom vs. Sunderland

West Brom look like they are going down, but Tony Mowbray will be determined his side don’t do so without a fight. If they have any chance of staying up, they have to win this game. Over the season, their big problems have been in both penalty areas and they will need a dramatic reverse in fortunes if they are going to keep their hopes alive.
Sunderland have had good home wins recently and will see this as an ideal opportunity to secure their Premiership status for another season.

Score: 2-1

West Ham vs. Chelsea

This has the makings of a good game. West Ham play good football and Zola has them playing the right way. He has worked wonders with a squad which has had no luck at all with injuries. The fans will be up for a chance to end Chelsea’s title hopes once and for all.
Chelsea are still plugging away in the league, but look to have left it to late. They may have an eye on the Nou Camp and could take their foot of the gas at Upton Park.

Score: 2-1

Manchester United vs. Tottenham

Its Man United’s title to lose now. They just need to keep churning out results to both retain their title and keep momentum up ahead of their clash with in form Arsenal in the Champions League.
Tottenham are safe now and hoping to get into Europe again next season, which would be a remarkable achievement for Harry Redknapp considering the clubs position when he arrived.

Score: 2-0

Newcastle vs. Portsmouth

The Shearer effect has yet to reap any real words, with only a point at Stoke to show for two spirited second half displays. His side need a win here against a struggling Portsmouth side and will be hoping the return of Mark Viduka can ignite his team going forward.
Equally, Portsmouth need to start picking up some points to avoid being sucked into the relegation spots late in the season.

Score: 1-0

Arsenal vs. Middlesbrough

Arsenal’s return to form has been impressive. They performed well up at Anfield and will feel they threw away the win in the end. They have played some great football going forward and will be hoping they can hold it together at the back ahead for the upcoming Champions League games.
Middlesbrough look to be in dire straights. They could of turned the corner after their win against Liverpool recently but their fortunes have hardly improved. Gareth Southgate has a task on his hands keeping his club in the top flight.

Score: 3-0

Blackburn vs. Wigan

This is set to be a real dogfight. Blackburn are fighting for their lives and Wigan are also a physical side. The game promises to be an old fashioned contest and will not be one for lovers of flowing football.
Sam Allardyce needs a result here or his side could fall through the trap door.

Score: 0-0
