Birmingham City 1-0 Blackburn Rovers
Chelsea 3-0 Bolton Wanderers
Derby County 2-2 Reading
Everton 3-2 Newcastle United
Middlesbrough 2-1 Manchester City
Portsmouth 2-0 Fulham
Sunderland 2-1 Arsenal
Tottenham Hotpsur 2-1 Liverpool
West Ham United 2-2 Aston Villa
Wigan Athletic 1-2 Manchester United
Where is the Premier League trophy heading? Chelsea should have no problem rolling over Bolton, so it's down to Manchester United's visit to Wigan. I think there's too much importance on the game for United to slip up, so I anticipate a tenth league triumph for Sir Alex Ferguson.
Down at the bottom, Birmingham will do their bit by beating Blackburn at home. Reading will end up frustrated at Derby and earn a draw that won't be enough to keep them in the league. Portsmouth will point towards Wembley with a win over Fulham, which will mean Roy Hodgson suffering relegation, and Alex McLeish leading the celebrations at St Andrews.
In the other games, Everton will seal fifth spot with a win over Newcastle. Closest challengers Aston Villa will have to settle for a point at West Ham, while Middlesbrough should end their season on a high with a win over Manchester City, in what could be Sven's last game in charge. Arsenal and Liverpool have nothing to play for and that will show, as I expect both to ring the changes and end up losing against Sunderland and Tottenham respectively.
Last week I again got only FIVE correct results and ONE perfect score. Let's hope I can end the season on a high!
