PL: Weekend Predictions

Arsenal 2-0 Everton
Aston Villa 3-2 Wigan Athletic
Blackburn Rovers 3-0 Derby County
Bolton Wanderers 1-1 Sunderland
Fulham 2-2 Birmingham City
Liverpool 3-1 Manchester City
Manchester United 3-1 West Ham United
Middlesbrough 2-0 Portsmouth
Newcastle United 1-1 Chelsea
Reading 1-1 Tottenham Hotspur

In the early kick off on Saturday Manchester United should see off the challenge of West Ham. At the other end of the table, a must-win game between Fulham and Birmingham will most probably end in a draw, a result that won't help either team that much. Roy Keane will demand his Sunderland side keep going until the end of the season despite being safe, so I reckon they will nick a point at strugglers Bolton. With Tottenham's attacking talent I think they will also nick a point at Reading. Middlesbrough should dispell any relegation fears by beating Portsmouth, who only have eyes for Wembley. Aston Villa will keep going in the battle for fifth by beating Wigan, while Blackburn can only win against the league's whipping boys Derby.

Sunday begins with Arsenal at home to Everton. With no pressure or expectation on the Gunners, expect them to come out on top. In the day's other game Liverpool will give their fans something to cheer up following their Champions League exit, by beating Manchester City. Bank Holiday Monday sees Chelsea travel to in-form Newcastle. I think Kevin Keegan will do the unthinkable and do Sir Alex Ferguson a favour by gaining a draw.

Last week I only managed FIVE correct results and ONE perfect score. Much room for improvement, I'm sure you'll agree.
