Bolton v Arsenal
I think Bolton will be relegated.
I just do not understand why they did not take a punt on a player to replace Nicolas Anelka, who was always going to leave.
Arguably the three teams that win promotion from the Championship this season will go straight back down.
So if Bolton could survive this time around they would be OK next season as well.
On this basis it would have been worth paying over the odds in January to bring in a new striker.
Arsenal, with a big Champions League tie looming, will want to get this over as soon as possible.
I think over the last few weeks they have shown a soft mental side that has resulted in a lack of wins in recent Premier League fixtures.
Verdict: 0-2
Derby v Fulham
I'm hoping that this will be an open and exciting game.
You would think that both managers would say to their players 'let's go for it'.
Derby need to give their supporters something to cheer while Fulham really must see this as a game they have to win.
I'm predicting thrills and spills - to the extent that it might appear fifth in the running order on Match of the Day!
Verdict: 2-2
Portsmouth v Wigan
Portsmouth have got an important FA Cup tie coming up and that will ensure competition for places will be intense.
Pompey have made Fratton Park a difficult place for opposition teams to come and play - and although Steve Bruce has done a good job at Wigan I think his team will lose this match.
Verdict: 2-1
Reading v Blackburn
I think this match matters more to Reading.
They have come back strongly after their run of eight consecutive Premier League defeats.
Blackburn have had an unusual season in that they have lots of good players but have had one or two indifferent spells through the campaign.
That said, I still think that over the last three years they have punched above their weight.
Verdict: 2-1
Sunderland v West Ham
I was quite impressed with West Ham at Everton last week, though I think the disallowed Yakubu goal should have stood and that the home team would have gone on to win had it done so.
The Hammers have a couple of young players - the likes of James Tomkins and Freddie Sears - that bodes well for them.
But Sunderland will see this as a game that they can win - and help them edge away from trouble in the process.
Verdict: 2-1
Man Utd v Aston Villa Kick-off 1715 GMT
Aston Villa look like a side who need a break.
Martin O'Neill picks his strongest available team every week and some of his players are starting to look a little leggy.
Goals have not been forthcoming and they did not play well against Sunderland last week.
Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson is able to rotate his squad regularly because he has so many quality players and match-winners in his squad.
When Ferguson does rotate it does not seriously hinder his team's attacking qualities.
Verdict: 2-0
SUNDAY
(All kick-offs are 1500 BST unless specified)
Chelsea v Middlesbrough Kick-off 1330 BST
Chelsea have some of their players fit and available again and they really have the bit between their teeth at the moment.
They are putting serious pressure on Manchester United for the Premier League title.
Regardless of whether you think manager Avram Grant is tactically good or inept, he has so many good players dictating what happens on the pitch - and that makes a big difference.
After Cardiff defeated Middlesbrough in the FA Cup I looked at Boro and thought 'oh dear, what is going to happen to them?'.
However, they have responded really well and that is great credit to their manager - but they won't take any points from Stamford Bridge.
Verdict: 3-0
Tottenham v Newcastle
Newcastle had a good win against Fulham last week and I reckon that most neutrals would want the Magpies to retain their Premier League status.
However, there is a massive difference between beating Fulham at home and taking on Tottenham at White Hart Lane.
Spurs are pushing on with their development all the time and in Aaron Lennon, Steed Malbranque, Robbie Keane and Dimitar Berbatov, they have a really good front four.
I like coach Juande Ramos, who has had a long look at what he has and worked out what he needs to do over the summer.
Verdict: 3-1
Liverpool v Everton Kick-off 1600 BST
If this match was taking place a month or so ago I would have tipped Everton to win.
However, Tim Cahill is injured, Mikel Arteta appears to be struggling a little for form and they have picked up just one point from the last two games.
Liverpool need a performance after their showing against Manchester United last week.
Forget about Javier Mascherano - in terms of performance Liverpool were very much second best and United did not have to play all that well to beat them.
The most worrying thing for Liverpool was that they got done through the middle on five separate occasions. Normally they are so strong down the centre of their team.
Verdict: 2-0
