Archived tips :
Aston Villa vs Blackburn
Shooter : Big Sam and Martin O'Neill will have a huge job on their hands getting their players motivated for this one - but I reckon home advantage will be the swaying factor as the Villans look to leapfrog Man City into fifth place. 2-1
Prediction : Home Win Actual Result : Away Win
Looter : Villa's top-four hopes are over for another season, but will still want to finish on a high. Blackburn, however, have enjoyed a great last third of the campaign and could claim a draw here. 1-1
Prediction : Draw Actual Result : Away Win
Bolton vs Birmingham City
Shooter : Both sets of players will already be thinking of their summer jollies when this dead-rubber kicks off. Blues have had a decent season but are not too clever on the road, so I'll back Owen Coyle's Trotters to pocket all three points in a 2-0 win.
Prediction : Home Win Actual Result : Home Win
Looter : Hardly a last-day cracker, although both these sides can take satisfaction from a decent enough season. Bolton are better at home than Birmingham are away, so I'll tip the hosts to claim a narrow win. 2-1
Prediction : Home Win Actual Result : Home Win
Burnley vs Tottenham
Shooter : I reckon most of Tottenham's starting line-up from Eastlands will have celebrated long and hard, but with third place in Redknapp's sights, he'll field a fairly strong team against the calamitous Clarets, who are woeful home and away. 0-2
Prediction : Away Win Actual Result : Home Win
Looter : Regardless of the outcome of Wednesday's massive game at Man City, Tottenham's reserves would canter to a victory at Burnley, so bad have been the Clarets this year. A shoot4theloot banker here - away win. 0-3
Prediction : Away Win Actual Result : Home Win
Everton vs Portsmouth
Shooter : Pompey's players have been a credit to their fans for not just capitulating, and I think the incentive of the FA Cup final has helped to keep their chins up - but the Toffees will be too strong for them and should canter to a comfortable 3-0 win.
Prediction : Home Win Actual Result : Home Win
Looter : Pompey's players have been in decent form since relegation was confirmed, although the promise of the FA Cup final ensures they haven't let themselves get rusty. I, however, have been impressed with the Toffees at home and they should edge a win here. 2-1
Prediction : Home Win Actual Result : Home Win
Hull City vs Liverpool
Shooter : It's the final act of a disastrous season for both teams concerned here - and it's also likely they could have new managers for next season. Hull have been horrid under Dowie and I think Rafa's Reds should have enough about them to tame the Tigers. 0-2
Prediction : Away Win Actual Result : Draw
Looter : A match that has little riding on it - other than potentially it could be Rafa Benitez's last game in charge. Much will depend on Hull's attitude, but given only pride is at stake, I'll tip the Reds to edge it. 0-2
Prediction : Away Win Actual Result : Draw
West Ham vs Man City
Shooter : City's players will be licking their wounds after their midweek heartache against West Ham's London neighbours Spurs. The hosts can play with freedom but I think Tevez will be itching to score against his former employers, and will do in a 1-3 win.
Prediction : Away Win Actual Result : Draw
Looter : It promises to be a summer of rebuilding at Upton Park and this match could mark Gianfranco Zola's last in charge. He'll have his troops fired up against his countryman Roberto Mancini, but I'll have to tip the away win here simply on the basis that City are better and stronger. 0-1
Prediction : Away Win Actual Result : Draw
Wolves vs Sunderland
Shooter : Sunderland have been rotten on the road, losing 12 of 18 away games, while McCarthy's men have built their survival bid around solid if unspectacular form home and away. This looks like a home win, but I've got a sneaky feeling the Cats will get the cream. 0-1
Prediction : Away Win Actual Result : Home Win
Looter : It's been a great season for Wolves given their sole objective was survival. They were well beaten at Pompey last week but I fancy them to get one over Sunderland given that it's Mick McCarthy's former club and the men in gold have been pretty solid at home. 1-0
Prediction : Home Win Actual Result : Home Win
Millwall vs Swindon
Shooter : Millwall's form since the turn of the year has been unbelievable (Jeff) and they know they've got to win to crank up the pressure on second-placed Leeds, who are in pole position for automatic. Swindon also have promotion hopes but I think they'll lose 2-0.
Prediction : Home Win Actual Result : Home Win
Looter : A huge match, with events at The New Den and Elland Road determining promotion to the Championship. Both Swindon and Millwall can grab second with victory, but that may ensure a stalemate and both to be left disappointed. 1-1
Prediction : Draw Actual Result : Home Win
Leeds United vs Bristol Rovers
Shooter : This is it for Leeds and the equation is 'simples' - win and they're up. The pressure and tension is going to be unbearable at Elland Road, where the home fans will be tetchy if there isn't an early goal. I've got a horrible feeling it's going to be a 1-1 draw.
Prediction : Draw Actual Result : Home Win
Looter : The task for Leeds is simple: win and they're promoted. Bristol Rovers aren't exactly fearsome opposition, but Leeds may be nervy and don't often do well in the acid tests. But I fancy them here to edge the win and limp over the line. 2-0
Prediction : Home Win Actual Result : Home Win
Arsenal vs Fulham
Shooter : Fulham picked up a few injuries from the midweek game with Stoke so with a Europa League final on the horizon, Hodgson is likely to field a shadow team at The Emirates. The Gunners need to win to guarantee third place in a disappointing campaign, and they will - 3-0.
Prediction : Home Win Actual Result : Home Win
Looter : The Cottagers have the Europa League final to come so will field a second-string XI here. And with Arsenal not quite yet guaranteed third, a home win looks on the cards for me. A routine 2-0 win.
