Premiership Predictions weekend 3rd & 4th march

OK lets take a look at this weekend's fixtures and see if we can get some right.
The big game of the weekend is of course:

Liverpool v Man Utd:

This match has come at a bad time for both clubs with the 2nd leg of there champions league matches next week.It will be interesting to see what team both managers will field.With Man Utd needing to win to prevent Chelsea from gaining ground on them i am sure Fergie will field his strongest team possible.Liverpool on the other hand will not win the title so there best chance for a trophy is the Champions League so Rafa will probably rest some of his stars much i suspect to Liverpool fans dismay as i know they love to beat Utd. Man Utd have done well on this ground in recent years so my prediction is 0-1.

Arsenal v Reading:

It's been a bad week for Arsenal beaten in both cups despite putting in some good performances.Reading on the other hand are having a fantastic season and scared Utd on Tuesday night by coming from 3 nil down to lose 3-2.Despite Arsenal's injury problems you have to back them to win this game being the home team my prediction 2-1.

Portsmouth v Chelsea:

Chelsea fresh from winning the first trophy of the season despite not playing very well will be far to strong for a Pompey side that have struggled in recent weeks.My prediction 0-2.

Fulham V Villa :

Well i watched Fulham get battered by Spurs 2 wks ago and then go on and out play Utd the following week but still lose.Which Fulham team will turn up.Villa on the other hand have not played for what seems months so they should be very fresh and with new players aiming to impress this could be a very entertaining game.I think a draw will do for Villa to stop the rot away from home. My Prediction 1-1.

Man City V Wigan:

Not got a lot to say about these two struggling teams apart from Wigan have started to perform much better of late.A great performance at Arsenal would have seen them come away with the 3 points but for some strange decisions by the officials. My Prediction 0-1.

Newcastle V Middlesbrough:

Well Newcastle are in indifferent form Boro were taken to extra time by the baggies so what will happen in this local derby.Derby games often end in a draw but i think Boro might just nick this one.My Prediction 1-2.

Sheff Utd V Everton

Again both teams have been up and down this year Sheff Utd Being a much stronger outfit at home than away from home.I cannot see anything other than a draw in this game as i think both teams will cancel each other out.My Prediction 0-0.

Watford V Charlton:

A must win game for both teams Watford need the win the most otherwise they will have no chance of staying up (not that they have much chance anyway) and Charlton need the win (being the only side with a chance of staying up out of the bottom 3 clubs) to close the gap on Wigan and the rest.I think Charlton fresh from there win last week and with Darren Bent back and scoring will be too strong for Watford.My Prediction 0-2.

Bolton V Blackburn:

Well this game is being shown on Sky why i do not know as i do not think this will be worth watching.Blackburn will play there spoiling game and as both sides are both physical (nothing wrong with that)i think there will be free kick after free kick a stop start dull game that will probably be won by a goal from a set piece.My Prediction 1-0.

West Ham V Spurs

What a great couple of weeks for Spurs 4 Nil win over Fulham and then a 4-1 win over Bolton.West Ham on the other hand will have to win this game to have any chance of survival.A 4-0 defeat to Charlton last week is not acceptable and it looks from the outside that they have just thrown in the towel.I suppose with the signing of Quashie from the Baggies in January we should have known they were going to be relegated (relegated with soton,wba) not someone you want to have around when you are struggling.(I am sure it was not all his fault).Anyway back to the game this again is being shown on sky and i think this one will be a cracker.My prediction 1-3.



These are my thoughts on the weekend matches and my predictions.I do not claim to be an expert and if you choose to follow my predictions on your head be it.If you do follow my predictions and they make you some money i would just like to say that all donations are welcome.
