Man City vs Aston Villa
Shooter : So we enter the final straight in the race for fourth place, with these two and Spurs ensuring there'll be a new team in next season's CL. Both teams are in fine form, but I think they'll do Tottenham a favour by drawing 2-2 in this Eastlands thriller.
Prediction : Draw Actual Result : Home Win
Looter : A huge game in the battle for fourth, and while Villa are on a three-match winning run, I am finding it hard to look beyond City. Just two defeats in 17 at home means Roberto Mancini's side are favourites for me. 2-1
Prediction : Home Win Actual Result : Home Win
Portsmouth vs Wolves
Shooter : This will be a strange encounter as Pompey players won't want to pick up any injuries ahead of the FA Cup final - and Wolves players will be thinking of their summer holidays after securing Prem survival. I'll go for a 1-0 win to Avram Grant's hosts.
Prediction : Home Win Actual Result : Home Win
Looter : With the relegation places now finalised, you'd think this would be a meangingless game. But it's far from that with Wolves playing for their futures ahead of some big summer recruitment and Pompey playing for cup final places. I actually think, despite the table, Portsmouth are the better side, so I'll tip them up to win. 1-0
Prediction : Home Win Actual Result : Home Win
Stoke City vs Everton
Shooter : The mid-table Potters have little to play for and have lost Sorensen for the season. Pulis knows each place means about £500k, though, and they could jump up to 10th spot with a win. The Toffees are in fine form so will put up a firm fight - and I reckon it'll be a draw. 1-1
Prediction : Draw Actual Result : Draw
Looter : The Potters were an absolute shambles in their 7-0 thrashing at Chelsea, so you can expect Tony Pulis to demand an instant response. But Everton have lost just two league games in 2010 - and I think they will do again here. 0-2
Prediction : Away Win Actual Result : Draw
Tottenham vs Bolton
Shooter : Harry's hosts are in pole position for fourth place, and I don't think their defeat at Old Trafford will have rocked their confidence too badly. Spurs' home record is immense this season and they'll be far too hot for the Trotters to handle. 3-0
Prediction : Home Win Actual Result : Home Win
Looter : Victory here would put Tottenham in pole position for fourth ahead of their midweek showdown with City, but Harry Redknapp will remind his players a job needs doing here first. Old Trafford aside, Spurs have been red hot lately and I think they'll simply sweep Bolton aside. 3-1
Prediction : Home Win Actual Result : Home Win
Fulham vs West Ham
Shooter : One way or another, either in celebration or consolation, Fulham will have a European hangover heading into this fixture and I think the Hammers, who will be able to play with freedom after retaining their PL status, can pinch all three points in a 1-2 away win.
Prediction : Away Win Actual Result : Home Win
Looter : By the time this game is played Fulham could well have a European final to look forward to but their exertions in midweek will surely take their toll. The Hammers are now safe from the drop so can play without fear, so I think a draw is on the cards here. 1-1
Prediction : Draw Actual Result : Home Win
Liverpool vs Chelsea
Shooter : Rafa's Reds are somehow clinging onto slim hope of finishing fourth so need all three points - but they know a win here would all-but hand Man Utd a record total of English titles. Chelsea are in red-hot form and I think they'll virtually seal the title here. 1-2
Prediction : Away Win Actual Result : Away Win
Looter : This match is not only your Shoot4theLoot decider this weekend, but in my book it's probably the title decider too. I still think the title will end up at Old Trafford, which means Liverpool doing their old enemies a favour by taking a point here. 2-2 - and an Anfield cracker.
Prediction : Draw Actual Result : Away Win
Sunderland vs Man Utd
Shooter : The Manchester United juggernaut is firmly in top gear, and as they're facing former Red Devil Steve Bruce and his Black Cats, I simply can't see anything other than an away win. I fancy the hosts to score with Bent netting, but think it'll be a 1-3 scoreline.
Prediction : Away Win Actual Result : Away Win
Looter : United are ending the season with typical ruthless efficiency and although Sunderland will give them a good game, expect United to pull clear late on and make another step towards the title. Goals aplenty - but United to prevail. 2-4
Prediction : Away Win Actual Result : Away Win
Blackburn vs Arsenal
Shooter : The Gunners have got van Persie back in business, but they'll struggle for motivation as they can't be caught in third and are out of the title race. Rovers have been handy on home turf but have drawn quite a few games - and I think this one will be a 1-1 or 2-2 draw.
Prediction : Draw Actual Result : Home Win
Looter : Rovers are ending the season in style and look good for a mid-table finish. They've recently held both United and Chelsea at Ewood and with Arsenal guaranteed third (no lower or no higher) I think a point apiece is on the cards here. 1-1
Prediction : Draw Actual Result : Home Win
Wigan Ath vs Hull City
Shooter : It'll be hard for Hull's players to stay focused as they're Championship-bound and talk of administration is refusing to go away. Wigan, meanwhile, know a win could see them jump up two places, which is worth about £1m and would be a nice addition to the budget. 2-0
Prediction : Home Win Actual Result : Draw
Looter : This looked like a huge game, but given that the relegation tussle is already decided, it looks like a dead rubber to me. Expect Hull to rest their big names in order to protect them and ensure summer sales, so a weakened side will have little chance against Latics. A big home win for me. 3-0
Prediction : Home Win Actual Result : Draw
Charlton vs Leeds United
Shooter : This is a titanic tussle in League One, and sorry Leeds fans but I think you're boys are going to wilt under the pressure. The Addicks have been a tough nut to crack at The Valley, and although the Whites are handy on the road I've got a feeling they'll lose 2-1.
Prediction : Home Win Actual Result : Home Win
Looter : There may be title deciders going on this weekend, but the League One showdown at The Valley is as big as you will find outside the top flight. It's win or bust as far as Charlton's automatic promotion hopes are concerned, while Leeds also need the points to stay ahead of the chasing pack. Expect a very nervy draw, 0-0 or 1-1
