Archived tips :

Middlesbro' vs Hull City
Shooter : This is it for Boro, who enter last-chance saloon against the Tigers this weekend. Their form is abysmal, but if they are going to stage a Great Escape they need to win here, and Hull are right in the relegation scrap, although not as desperate. It'll be tight - 1-0.
Prediction : Home Win    Actual Result : Home Win
Looter : It's win or bust now for Boro, and despite having collected just four wins at home this term, I do fancy them to bag the points. Marlon King will be fired up to sink his former club and I think, if selected, he could fire the hosts to a dramatic win. 1-0
Prediction : Home Win    Actual Result : Home Win
Portsmouth vs West Brom
Shooter : I'm not wearing a straight jacket, I'm not on hallucinogenic drugs - I just genuinely believe Albion are going to win this game. These two drew at The Hawthorns earlier this season, and although a win may not be enough for survival, the Baggies have fond memories of playing Pompey in recent seasons, so I'm for a shock 2-1 away win!
Prediction : Away Win    Actual Result : Draw
Looter : I think the West Brom players know their bid to stay in the top flight is all but over and a defeat at Fratton Park will push them closer to the trap door. Portsmouth, on the other hand, are upwardly mobile under Paul Hart and they should win with ease. 2-0
Prediction : Home Win    Actual Result : Draw
Stoke City vs Newcastle
Shooter : Shearer's arrival certainly lifted the mood both among the players and the fans, but even he can't stop the Toon from being shocking at the back and clueless in midfield, as shown against Chelsea. Stoke's home form is nearly as good as Chelsea's, and they've got confidence running through every single player. 2-0 to the hosts.
Prediction : Home Win    Actual Result : Draw
Looter : It's dire times for Newcastle and it's testament to Stoke's fine season that they go into this match as clear favourites. Shearer faces a huge task to resurrect the flagging Geordies, but I think they can pick up a valuable victory here. 1-2
Prediction : Away Win    Actual Result : Draw
Sunderland vs Man Utd
Shooter : This is a huge test of United's resolve after their shocking show against Porto and last-gasp win over Villa - but they're not champions for nothing and I reckon they'll scrap for a vital victory over a goal-shy Sunderland side devoid of confidence. 1-2
Prediction : Away Win    Actual Result : Away Win
Looter : If results go against them, Sunderland could well find themselves in the relegation zone come the end of the day. They'll face a United side who, although looked vulnerable against FC Porto, will know they can't afford to slip up with both Liverpool and Chelsea breathing down their necks. 1-2
Prediction : Away Win    Actual Result : Away Win
Tottenham vs West Ham
Shooter : If Spurs had got Palacios in their engine room I'd fancy them for a home win in this London derby, but their key midfielder is banned after seeing red at Blackburn and they'll really miss him. The Hammers are 7th for a reason - they're a very compact and fluent outfit under Zola's tutelage. 2-2
Prediction : Draw    Actual Result : Home Win
Looter : This is a big match in the battle to finish seventh and claim a place in next season's Europa League. The Hammers have been playing some good stuff and I think they can go to their rivals and bag a share of the spoils and stay ahead of Spurs in the race for Europe. 1-1
Prediction : Draw    Actual Result : Home Win
Wigan Ath vs Arsenal
Shooter : It's a tale of two strikers at The JJB. Zaki is having a mare after being AWOL, while Adebayor is firing on all cylinders for the Gunners, who also have a fully-fit Fabregas pulling the strings in midfield at the crucial stage of the season. 0-2 for me.
Prediction : Away Win    Actual Result : Away Win
Looter : The Gunners look pretty safe in their bid to finish in the top four and secure a spot in next season's Champions League. So with this term's CL occuping their thoughts, and the fact that they have serious defensive problems, I can see them only earning a draw at The JJB. 0-0
Prediction : Draw    Actual Result : Away Win
Aston Villa vs Everton
Shooter : Everton's fine form means they have emerged as a bigger threat to 4th-placed Arsenal than out-of-sorts Villa, who are still wondering how they left Old Trafford defeated having largely outplayed United. Villa's season is falling apart - but I think they'll draw 1-1 here.
Prediction : Draw    Actual Result : Draw
Looter : These two will know each other pretty well this term, with this their third meeting in five months. It currently stands at one match all, and I think there'll remain little between them as I can see an entertaining draw here. 2-2
Prediction : Draw    Actual Result : Draw
Man City vs Fulham
Shooter : The City team that trots out at Eastlands is a different beast to the toothless one on the road, but the fact they played Hamburg on Thursday means they'll still be a bit knackered come the weekend. Fulham are rock-solid on the road - and I'm nearly tempted to tip a shock away win for Roy's boys...but I'll play it safe - 1-1.
Prediction : Draw    Actual Result : Away Win
Looter : It may come as a surprise, but City boast more home wins this term than Liverpool, Chelsea and any side other than city rivals, United. Fulham, by contrast, are woeful on the road. Although City will have Europe on their mind, it's a nailed-on home win for me. 2-0
Prediction : Home Win    Actual Result : Away Win
Chelsea vs Bolton
Shooter : Bolton have got enough points in the bank to start thinking they're nearly safe, and I can't see them leaving London with anything. Hiddink totally outwitted Benitez at Anfield, so getting the better of Megson should be like taking candy from a ginger baby. 2-0
Prediction : Home Win    Actual Result : Home Win
Looter : The Blues will quite rightly be buzzing after their destruction of Liverpool in midweek and I think Bolton will set up quite defensively as a result. The likes of Drogba, Malouda, Essien and even Kalou looked full of confidence at Anfield, but I think it's Bolton old boy Anelka who will do the damage here. 3-0
Prediction : Home Win    Actual Result : Home Win
Crystal Palace vs Cardiff
Shooter : Cardiff may be a bit leggy after playing in midweek, but their four-star demolition of the Rams ensures the adrenaline will be pumping through the players who are on the charge for promotion. Palace have little to play for but I think their strong home form, and City's 11 draws on the road so far, points to another draw here. 2-2
Prediction : Draw    Actual Result : Away Win
Looter : The Bluebirds will still have aspirations of catching the top two, but to achieve that, will have to go for the jugular and all three points here. But Palace are one of the few sides with little left to play for so I expect the Welshmen to take the points. 1-2
Prediction : Away Win    Actual Result : Away Win
