Birmingham City vs Everton
Shooter : There's absolutely no doubt the Toffees are running out of steam after a long, hard season with a fairly small squad, and they only just edged out Derby last time out. They're only 3 points behind Liverpool after last weekend's results, though, so have plenty to play for - as do Blues due to them being 4 points above the trapdoor. McFadden is likely to miss out against his former employers, but the likes of Forssell and Larsson are still a handful at St Andrews - a draw for me. 1-1
Prediction : Draw    Actual Result : Draw
Looter : Blues might well welcome mercurial Frenchman Olivier Kapo back to action, but the one player who could win this game for them, hands down, is former Toffee James McFadden. But Faddy remains sidelined and I expect Everton to pinch a win that keeps Blues still fearing for their Premiership lives. 1-2
Prediction : Away Win    Actual Result : Draw
Bolton vs West Ham
Shooter : This is last-chance saloon for the Trotters, who were stuffed 4-0 at Villa Park and are 4 points from safety. They did, however, show some real fight at The Reebok before the Gunners' storming comeback - and know it's Championship football for them next season if they don't take all the points. The Hammers, meanwhile, really are in no man's land in mid-table and lost 1-0 in midweek. They're simply going through the motions so I reckon it'll be a crucial home win. 2-0
Prediction : Home Win    Actual Result : Home Win
Looter : The Trotters really are drinking at the last chance saloon and need three points desperately. Failure to do so will almost certainly spell relegation, but in West Ham face a side seemingly destined to finish no higher, and no lower, than 10th or 11th. I don't think it will be pretty but I feel Bolton could nudge a win. 1-0
Prediction : Home Win    Actual Result : Home Win
Derby vs Aston Villa
Shooter : Disastrous is the only way Derby's campaign can be described, and I don't think it'll get any easier against their Midlands rivals. Ten goals in 16 home games tells it's own story for the Rams, who only lost 1-0 at Everton but will be taking on a Villa outfit buzzing from a four-star drubbing of Bolton at Villa Park last time out. The visitors should have too much pace and trickery for the hosts and collect a fifth away win. 0-2
Prediction : Away Win    Actual Result : Away Win
Looter : The Rams are, quite simply, THE worst Prem team of all time and are still, incredibly, to win under Paul Jewell. Despite the gloom of their season, there has been ever so slight signs of improvement and might (just might) pinch a point with Midlands pride at stake. 1-1
Prediction : Draw    Actual Result : Away Win
Reading vs Fulham
Shooter : Roy Hodgson may not admit it, but the 3-1 defeat by Sunderland was the final nail in Fulham's relegation coffin. Reading may have lost comprehensively at Newcastle, but they know three points here will move them a huge step closer to survival and this will spur them on. The Royals have won 8 of 17 at home this season, while Fulham have yet to taste victory on the road. That won't change - 3-1.
Prediction : Home Win    Actual Result : Away Win
Looter : Another huge fixture at the bottom sees Steve Coppell's Royals face the struggling Cottagers. Roy Hodgson admitted after last week's home defeat to Sunderland that he was "almost in tears", and it could get a lot worse here. But David Healy has finally found form and he might just help them to something of a shock win. 0-1
Prediction : Away Win    Actual Result : Away Win
Sunderland vs Man City
Shooter : With talk of signing the likes of Ronaldinho this summer, Sven is clearly already looking towards next season as their defeat by Chelsea ended their slim European hopes. Sunderland, however, are arguably the form team of the division having won 3 on the trot to pull them up to 13th and within touching distance of arch rivals Newcastle. In Kenwyne Jones they have a real handful on home turf, 2-1 for me.
Prediction : Home Win    Actual Result : Away Win
Looter : Considering Sunderland were relegation strugglers for so long and City were European chasers until they ran out of steam, it seems improbable that a Black Cats win here would reduce the gap to 10 points between the sides. Roy Keane's men have really hit form and three wins on the bounce (and eight from 16 on home turf) suggests the points will be staying on Wearside. City are without Nedem Onouha and Micah Richards in defence so are likely to struggle at the back. 3-1
Prediction : Home Win    Actual Result : Away Win
Tottenham vs Middlesbro'
Shooter : Tottenham are another team already planning for next season but they showed some fighting spirit in a 1-1 draw at Ewood. They're the league's entertainers, especially at the Lane, as they are full of goals and a shambles at the back. Boro will give them a decent game, as they are all-but safe - and £12m striker Afonso Alves will be buzzing after his brilliant brace against United. I'm going for a 2-2 draw.
Prediction : Draw    Actual Result : Draw
Looter : Middlesbrough proved against Man United last week that they are capable of mixing it with the best. And in Samba star Afonso Alves finally look like they have found someone to lay the ghosts of Viduka and Yakubu to rest. You never know what you're going to get with Spurs either, so I'll go for a high-scoring, highly-entertaining 2-2 draw.
Prediction : Draw    Actual Result : Draw
Portsmouth vs Newcastle
Shooter : Newcastle's turnaround was triggered by Keegan playing a frontline of Owen, Martins and Viduka, all of whom found the net in a 3-0 rout of Reading on home soil. That was the Toon's third win on the spin, but FA Cup finalists Pompey are in decent nick themselves, having won 6 of their last 8 in the Prem. Defoe should be back from his grandmother's funeral in the Caribbean to torment the Toon backline, but I reckon it'll be a score draw. 2-2
Prediction : Draw    Actual Result : Draw
Looter : Two teams in form clash at Fratton Park and I fully expect Keegan to stick with the 4-3-3 formation that has served him so well lately. The tactic works great when you are on top as Michael Owen drops back to supplement the midfield. But Owen and Butt against Diop, Muntari Diarra (if fit) and Pompey's other muscle men does not add up to me and I can see a home win. 2-1
Prediction : Home Win    Actual Result : Draw
West Brom vs Watford
Shooter : The Baggies seemed to be heading for a morale-sapping defeat at Blackpool as the game entered the last 10 minutes in midweek - but three goals in the closing stages turned the game on its head and put them top of the league to boot! It's quite feasible these two will be filling the top-two promotion spots come the end of the season, and Watford are winning games again after their long run of draws. Albion are quite nervous at home but I think these rivals will cancel each other out. 2-2
Prediction : Draw    Actual Result : Draw
Looter : The Hornets' shock 3-0 home defeat to Barnsley on Wednesday has really piled the pressure on them to pick up at least a point at The Hawthorns. But Albion proved in midweek at Blackpool that they're ready to take the Championship title race by the scruff off the neck and I think they'll win again here. 2-1
Prediction : Home Win    Actual Result : Draw
Liverpool vs Blackburn
Shooter : Rafa's Reds are basking in the glory of yet another magical European night at Anfield, but with Everton still breathing down their necks they know a three-point haul is vital here to secure that lucrative fourth place. The hosts will relish playing someone other than Arsenal after 3 straight games against the Gunners, and although Rovers are a tough nut to crack I think they'll just be edged out in a 2-1 win for the Reds.
Prediction : Home Win    Actual Result : Home Win
Looter : Most of the attention will be on David Bentley in this one amid talk of a £10million summer approach by Liverpool. And I don't think the England man will disappoint and he could lead Rovers to a draw against a Liverpool side who may just struggle to repeat the highs of Tuesday's triumphant display against Arsenal. 1-1
Prediction : Draw    Actual Result : Home Win
Man Utd vs Arsenal
Shooter : United are really missing the presence of Vidic at the heart of their defence but are scoring goals for fun at the moment, and in Cristiano Ronaldo have the best player on the planet in the form of his life. Arsenal's confidence will have taken a severe battering from their Anfield heartache, and although I reckon they'll find the net, expect Fergie's troops to bank all three points. 2-1
Prediction : Home Win    Actual Result : Home Win
Looter : Two months ago, Arsenal were six points clear at the top of the pile and were dreaming of even securing a title triumph at Old Trafford. But a succession of draws, coupled with a string of high-profile cup defeats, means the backside has fallen out of their season. And I expect United to brutally expose their fragile confidence and finally end the Gunners' title hopes once and for all. 3-1
Prediction : Home Win    Actual Result : Home Win
