Tarquin:

Manchester United v Arsenal

I really don't expect too many nerves from United, one point out of six is nothing - Arsenal are certainly capable of an upset, but United should win

2-0

Bolton v Hull

I expect a nil-nil if I'm honest, but I'm going to foolishly stick my neck out and say Hull will make relegation interesting

0-1

Everton v West Ham

Should be a pretty comfortable affair for Everton

2-0

Middlesboro v Villa

Tough one, depends how both teams approach this - Villa have nothing to play for, and Boro could be dejected or determined, I vote snore draw

0-0

Newcastle v Fulham

Newcastle have it up 'em, and Fulham don't travel well, so, while a draw is conceivable (and preferable for me), I expect a Toon victory

1-0

Stoke v Wigan

Ooo, the battle for 11th...I want Stoke as high as possible to show up Lawro who said they would be rock bottom, so 25-0... or maybe not

2-0

Tottenham v Man City

Sigh, how depressing that Tottenham will probably get into Europe - you know last year Europe was 65 points, and 7th was 58 - Spurs can only get a maximum of 54, shows how mediocre this season has been..bring on Burnley - should be a straight home win

2-0

West Brom v Liverpool

Sunday's game is a little tricky - should United actually lose Liverpool may well romp home, if the title's done with then knowing Liverpool they'll collapse and hand the Albion three points (see: Fulham), but conventional wisdom tells me to stick with a Pool victory, West Brom are too feeble at the back

1-2

Chelsea v Blackburn

I don't see Blackburn bringing anything to this

3-0

Portsmouth v Sunderland

I say this every week - Sunderland are rubbish! This will be dull, and there might be a goal

1-0
