Birmingham v Blackburn

Of all the relegation-threatened teams, Birmingham are the only side playing at home and that has been underestimated.

I think Birmingham will beat Blackburn in what will be arguably their most important game since they were promoted.

Blackburn are not a team to lie down, they have good players and a good manager.

But Birmingham know they need to win to give themselves a chance of staying up - and the crowd will push them over the line for me.

Verdict: 2-0

Chelsea v Bolton

Bolton are safe after chasing the prize of avoiding relegation and Gary Megson has done well, especially giving the fact that they've never replaced Nicolas Anelka.

They are back to the difficult, snarling Bolton of old, but I think Chelsea will be too strong for them.

Once they got over their injuries and the disruptions of the Africa Cup of Nations, they've improved beyond all recognition.

Their resurgence has coincided with the fact that Didier Drogba, Petr Cech, John Terry, Ricardo Carvalho and Michael Ballack have all been fit and playing together.

But I think they will finish second, though I don't expect that to have any effect whatsoever on the Champions League final to come.

Verdict: 3-0

Derby v Reading

I know Reading are going Pride Park, but Derby will be out for a last hurrah because they won't want to end the season with another beating.

Reading just can't score and they don't look like scoring. They've got a look of doom about them.

You would rather go to Derby than Old Trafford or Chelsea, but Reading aren't playing well and they need goals.

Derby will want to sign off with at least a point and with some kind of encouraging display to give their fans some hope for the summer.

Verdict: 1-1

Everton v Newcastle

Everton are back in control of their European destiny and I think they will beat Newcastle.

It's a top performance by David Moyes - he's the best manager outside the top four.

You could argue that, because of his resources - or lack of them - he has done even better than the managers who finished third and fourth this season.

Kevin Keegan has come in for some stick after his comments about the top four dominating the Premier League.

I think what he was trying to say was that unless he gets a pot of money, he won't get near the top four - he's not wrong.

Verdict: 2-0

Middlesbrough v Man City

If Sven-Goran Eriksson gets his P45, it will be one of the most ridiculous decisions in the course of the Premier League season.

He has got Manchester City's respect back, he has supporters on his side, he is building for the future and he has got a top-10 finish. It would be a nonsense decision if he is sacked.

Middlesbrough are finishing with two successive home games because of City's fixture list.

It would be nice for them to finish with two home wins. And I think they will.

Verdict: 2-1

Portsmouth v Fulham

It's a lot to ask of Fulham to get another away win.

Everyone keeps saying that Portsmouth have got one eye on the FA Cup final, but I still think this is too big an ask for Fulham.

Fratton Park is a tough place to go for a result, and so I think Fulham will go down on Sunday.

You'll have to ask Mohamed Al Fayed about Fulham's future. If he decides to stick with Roy Hodgson and keep the team together, along with a transfer budget, then they'll have a chance of coming straight back up.

But if he decides to cut his losses and sell Brian McBride and Jimmy Bullard, then it's a completely different question.

The problem with Fulham is it has been coming for a while. The day they sacked Chris Coleman was the day the death-knell was sounded.

Portsmouth, meanwhile, will want to show some semblance of form, which has not been very good recently.

Harry Redknapp will want to see some recovery. He does not want his side to go to Wembley lacking confidence and goals.

Verdict: 1-1

Sunderland v Arsenal

This match will show Roy Keane just how far his team will have to improve if they want to compete with the likes of Arsenal.

The Gunners will no doubt ring in the changes next season, but Arsene Wenger will have to bring in players with plenty of mental strength.

Keane wants his Sunderland side to have the same mentality he had as a player, but that will take some time.

And if they want to go to the next level, Keane will have to do some wheeling and dealing in the summer.

Verdict: 0-2

This game has end-of-season written all over it.

Liverpool have gone a bit flat after the Champions League exit and Tottenham have gone flat two minutes after winning the Carling Cup.

I think it will be a decent game, but with nothing at stake it's heading for a draw.

These two teams will be bringing in new players in the summer, especially as there will be pressure on both Spanish managers to finish higher in the league next season.

Verdict: 1-1

West Ham v Aston Villa

Villa have been knocked flat by last week's defeat to Wigan, especially as Everton only need a point against Newcastle to qualify for Europe.

West Ham have not been playing well of late and there is plenty of speculation about Alan Curbishley's future.

But I think the Happy Hammers will win at the weekend and send the Upton Park faithful into raptures.

Verdict: 2-1

Wigan v Manchester United

There is no way Manchester United will lose this match. I think they will cruise to victory and defend their title.

I know United old boy Steve Bruce will have his team ready to have a real go at Man Utd, but defensively it's a bit of a mis-match.

United have so many match winners, if they unleash them in a game of such importance at the JJB Stadium, they'll win easily.

I think Man Utd have become even stronger than last year, the way they play their football is outstanding.

All the neutrals should enjoy this duel, although I doubt Chelsea and Man Utd fans will feel the same.

It's an incredible situation to see two teams fighting for both domestic and European honours - it may never happen again.

Verdict: 0-3
