Archived tips :

Aston Villa vs Newcastle
Shooter : Keegan badly needed all three points against Boro, but although the Magpies look strong on paper, Owen, Butt and Duff are simply not the players they once were. Villa were mugged by Fulham so will be bang up for this one and should inflict the Toon's 9th away defeat. 2-1.
Prediction : Home Win    Actual Result : Home Win
Looter : The Toon might only have one goal to their name under Keegan, but he's certainly made them harder to beat as two draws in his three Prem games so far will testify. He may not get his first win quite yet, but with a moody Michael Owen keen to prove Capello wrong for his midweek bench role, expect him to fire the Magpies to a creditable point. 1-1
Prediction : Draw    Actual Result : Home Win
Bolton vs Portsmouth
Shooter : Pompey may have lost their talisman in Benjani - but Defoe is arguably a much classier finisher and should thrive under Redknapp's counter-attacking outlook. Bolton's tails are up after winning at Reading, though, so I think these two will share the spoils. 1-1
Prediction : Draw    Actual Result : Away Win
Looter : All of a sudden there are high expectations on Portsmouth and with a strikeforce of Defoe and Baros, you'd be right to expect them to win. OK, Bolton picked up a superb win at Reading last week, but Pompey are the away-day specialists and can win once again here. 0-2
Prediction : Away Win    Actual Result : Away Win
Derby vs Tottenham
Shooter : Spurs are leaner, meaner and slicker under Ramos' tough regime, and outplayed the champions of England in their last outing. Displays and results have slowly been improving, and they should have far too much class for Jewell's relegation-bound Rams despite their draw at Blues. 0-3
Prediction : Away Win    Actual Result : Away Win
Looter : The Rams have strung together their best sequence of the season and now boast (?!) a two-match unbeaten record. But the ever-improving Spurs have way too much class and expect them to teach Derby another very harsh lesson in Premier League life. 0-5
Prediction : Away Win    Actual Result : Away Win
Everton vs Reading
Shooter : The alarms bells are ringing big style in Coppell's ears after six straight defeats in the Prem plunged them down to 17th. Everton failed to break down a resilient Rovers defence, but should have much more joy on their Royals appointment for a comfortable win. 2-0
Prediction : Home Win    Actual Result : Home Win
Looter : Everton genuinely have class all over the pitch and should routinely dispatch a Reading side, who now have very genuine relegation fears. Tim Cahill might be a little jet-lagged after his Australia exploits in midweek, but don't bet against him coming off the bench and making an impact. 2-0
Prediction : Home Win    Actual Result : Home Win
Middlesbro' vs Fulham
Shooter : Fulham dug deep to get a battling point at Bolton and then followed it up with a Jimmy Bullard-inspired home win over Villa to give them a shred of hope. They'll be looking to earn another point so will be very defensive, and Boro - despite finally having Alves on board - could well be frustrated in a draw. 0-0 or 1-1.
Prediction : Draw    Actual Result : Home Win
Looter : If there's been a greater sight in the Premiership this year than Jimmy Bullard's celebration at full-time last week, then I'm yet to see it. The boy with the barnet is buzzing and he can make the difference again as Fulham chase the win that gives their survival hopes a real shot in the arm. 0-1
Prediction : Away Win    Actual Result : Home Win
Sunderland vs Wigan Ath
Shooter : Sunderland are this season's Jekyll and Hyde of the Prem, as they love playing at home (where they've won more games than Liverpool, Blackburn, Pompey, West Ham...) but are useless on their travels, as are visiting Wigan who roll into town with 1 win on the road from 13 attempts. Home wins are key to the Cats' survival bid, so 3-1 for me.
Prediction : Home Win    Actual Result : Home Win
Looter : Wigan were recent victors here in the FA Cup, but the Black Cats will be a different proposition this time around. In Kenwyne Jones they already have a notable threat up front, but watch carefully for the new boy Rada Prica, who has given the Wearside faithful the Swede smell of success. 3-0
Prediction : Home Win    Actual Result : Home Win
West Ham vs Birmingham City
Shooter : Big Eck's Blues are in a real dogfight now and their lack of real quality in attack is starting to cost dear. The Hammers are slowly getting all of their top men back to full fitness, and should bank all three points from a sixth home win of the campaign. 2-0
Prediction : Home Win    Actual Result : Draw
Looter : The Hammers saw off Liverpool in their last clash at Upton Park and should be good for a repeat performance against a Birmingham side, who now have just one win in their last 10 games. Blues may rally late, but by then it could all be too late. 2-1
Prediction : Home Win    Actual Result : Draw
Chelsea vs Liverpool
Shooter : These were always tetchy affairs due to the Special One and Rafa's disliking of each other - and they usually end up in a stalemate. But I've got a sneaky feeling Grant's Chelsea are going to nick this one to truly end the Reds' faint title hopes. Anelka to get the winner, 1-0.
Prediction : Home Win    Actual Result : Draw
Looter : You don't just tip a team to win away at Chelsea when the Blues have a 70+ unbeaten league run on their home turf without good reason. But Liverpool have so much to prove and I have a very sneaky feeling that this is the week they could come good. And Jermaine Pennant vs a understandably off-colour Ashley Cole could be the key battle of the match. 1-2
Prediction : Away Win    Actual Result : Draw
Man Utd vs Man City
Shooter : There will be so much emotion involved in this game, but United will be focused on avenging the derby defeat at Eastlands earlier this season and have no room for error after the lucky draw at Spurs. Sven's got Benjani but it won't be enough for City. 2-0
Prediction : Home Win    Actual Result : Away Win
Looter : Emotions will be riding high at Old Trafford as Manchester remembers the Busby Babes, 50 years after their tragic loss. Expect the occasion though to pump United up beyond all measure and they might be on the wrong end of a bit of a hiding. 3-0
Prediction : Home Win    Actual Result : Away Win
Leicester vs Plymouth Argyle
Shooter : This has all the ingredients for a fierce battle as Holloway welcomes his former club to the Walkers Stadium. Argyle haven't won in six and are sliding down the table, while lowly Leicester simply can't afford to lose as they hover above the dropzone. A draw for me, probably 1-1.
Prediction : Draw    Actual Result : Away Win
Looter : What would look like an ordinary Championship clash has now turned into something of a grudge match with all the ill feeling between Foxes boss Ian Holloway and his former club spilling out in the build-up to this one. But Argyle have sold off so many of their key players that every point they gain from here on in will be something of a bonus. But it won't happen here as Leicester gain a vital 2-1 triumph.
Prediction : Home Win    Actual Result : Away Win
