Tarquin says:

Blackburn v Portsmouth

Blackburn seem to scrape out the wins at home, always a good policy - but frankly I don't see Pompey scoring

2-0

Bolton v Sunderland

Lawro expects something out of Sunderland every week - I don't know why, they're rubbish, expect Bolton to win

1-0

Everton v Tottenham

Tough one, Everton will be vulnerable without Jags, but Tottenham don't travel too well, could be an interesting game

1-1

Fulham v Aston Villa

I don't know how much of a resurgence Villa are having, and if they're capable of beating one of the best home sides in the league, depends how the counter-attack works I guess

1-1

Hull v Stoke

Lawro doesn't think Hull can score, I feel that even though Hull are useless at home (I still wonder why when they have such good support, must be psychological) they can beat Stoke, who are now safe and don't go for it on the road - very important game tho, three points would almost clinch it - Hull will surely be up for it

1-0

West Brom v Wigan

I think West Brom could actually win this, I don't know why, maybe I'm drunk, don't put your house on it, but don't put it on Lawro's score draw either

1-0

West Ham v Liverpool

Liverpool should still be up for this, the title does look out of their hands completely, but they've still got some hope in them, and they've been scoring lots lately

1-3

Manchester United v Manchester City

Probably the third biggest game of the weekend - yup, that's how predictable the top has become - it's never a sure-fire thing with any derby, let alone the Manhester one, but I'd be a fool to not expect a United victory, even if they rest Ronaldo and co

1-0

Arsenal v Chelsea

Two sides dumped out of the Champions League but days ago, this game just oozes misery - I think Arsenal handle failure a lot better

1-0

Newcastle v Middlesboro

The game of the week, possibly even season - and it will be horrible to watch - if it's a draw they are both royally screwed, but I think Newcastle may provide and give themselves an outside chance of staying up

1-0
