Premiership Preview and Tips 17th/18th

Lets take a look at this weekends Premiership fixtures and predict some results.

Blackburn V West Ham 2-0

Blackburn are in great form at the moment and are a difficult team to beat at home.Strong defensively and with McCarthy up front always likely to score.West Ham on the other hand are woeful defensively and powder puff up front.Their will only be one winner in this game as Blackburn continue their march up the table and West Ham slip ever close to the Championship.
My Tip Blackburn Easy winners 2-0.

Chelsea v Sheff Utd 4-0

Another win for Chelsea in midweek closes the gap on Utd to 6 points with the two sides due to meet in the middle of April,what a game that could be.Back to this game and another win for Chelsea to keep the pressure on.
Chelsea will have to much class for Sheff Utd and will win this comfortably.If Chelsea get an early goal it will be a big win for them as Utd will fold.Utd need a a few more victories to achieve there aim for this season of safety but this will not be a day when they get any points.
My Tip 4-0 Chelsea easy winners.

Man Utd v Bolton 3-1

When Utd went to Bolton earlier in the season nobody would have predicted a 4-0 win for them due to Bolton's very good home record.But the class of Rooney did for them that day and this game will be no different.Man Utd will be to good for Bolton (even if they do have a good record on this ground)and i expect them to win this game convincingly with Bolton getting a late consolation.
My Tip Utd 3-1 winners with Rooney scoring.

Boro V Man City 2-0

With City looking over there shoulders at Charlton who are 6 points behind them,they need to start to pick up points on their travels.I can not see anything but a Boro win due to the fact that Boro are good at home and City are awful away.City can not seem to score at the moment and this will be their downfall again.
My Tip Boro to score in each half 2-0.

Reading v Portsmouth 2-1

What a season this has been for Reading currently 7th in the table and looking to stay there or climb up a few places.Portsmouth on the other hand are in poor form especially away from home and i expect that form to continue.
My Tip Reading to continue their fight for a European place 2-1.

Spurs V Watford 3-0

Spurs are in great goal scoring form at the moment scoring 17 goals in their last 5 games they have also conceded 11 goals ion that time as well though.I think this game will be Spurs 1st clean sheet since they beat Fulham 4-0 in the cup.Watford are a good battling side but do not have the quality to win games in this division and i expect a easy Spurs win(as long as Jol does not meddle to much with his team like rest there key player Berbatov).
My Tip Spurs easy winners 3-0.

Wigan v Fulham 2-1

With both teams next to each other in the table,and both needing more points to guarantee their place in this league for next season this should be quite a good game.Wigan have improved dramatically in the last few games and are playing well.Fulham on the other hand do not win many games away from home and i expect that trend to continue.
My Tip Wigan to ease their relegation worries 2-1 .

On to Sunday's matches now:

Villa V Liverpool 0-2

I was very impressed with Liverpool last week against Barcelona if they had a bit of luck they would have won that game easily.If they continue to show the form from that game they will be far too good for Villa who are really just waiting for the season to end so they can build for next season.Villa's players are playing for their futures at the club but i expect Liverpool to be to strong for them and to keep another clean sheet.
My Tip Liverpool to be 2-0 winners and keep the pressure on Arsenal for 3rd place.

Charlton v Newcastle 2-0

A must win game for Charlton and i expect them to win this game against Newcastle who will be tired from their game on Thursday Night.Charlton can be a very strong home team and i expect Bent to fire them to a victory that will close the gap on the teams above them.
My Tip Bent double in a 2-0 win for Charlton.

Everton v Arsenal 1-0

This is a difficult game to predict and not a pretty game to watch.I think Arsenal struggle against sides that are physically strong and with the home crowd behind them Everton will not give Arsenal anytime to spend on the ball.
My Tip 1-0 win for Everton.

Those are my tips for the weekend.
Tip of the day is Charlton to beat Newcastle.
