Prediction: 2-0
Match preview
Bolton v Portsmouth
Bolton look safe, regardless of what happens in other games, but they should make absolutely certain of staying up with a win here.
Portsmouth will have one eye on the FA Cup final, especially since they are already down. If I were playing for them, I wouldn't think about pulling out of tackles but I would be very careful in avoiding injury.
Prediction: 2-1
Match preview
Hull v Sunderland
I think if Hull lose this, then they are down. This is a big chance for them - they desperately need a win. But even a point against Aston Villa on Wednesday could have made all the difference but the 2-0 defeat hit them hard.
Their confidence is extremely low and they are not getting any breaks. Sunderland have started to play much better of late so they are not going to roll over.
Prediction: 1-1

West Ham v Wigan
I went to Anfield on Monday and I was very surprised because West Ham laid down and died. They did everything but have their tummy scratched by Liverpool in the 3-0 defeat.
Half the team did not seem to be committed whatsoever and I think their manager Gianfranco Zola will walk at the end of the season even if they do stay up.
They were perhaps thinking of this Wigan match while they were at Liverpool, believing a win here will be enough to keep them safe, which is very dangerous.
However, I am going to go for a home win here. The only caveat to that is, with Wigan, they are unpredictable. Nobody could foresee what they did in the last few minutes against Arsenal on Sunday.
Prediction: 2-0
Match preview
Wolves v Blackburn
Wolves, I believe, are safe but their manager Mick McCarthy probably won't agree and will target another win to be sure of staying up.
I'm backing them to get that against Blackburn. Rovers are a handful and an awkward team to play against but they don't carry the same threat on the road as they do at Ewood Park.
Prediction: 2-1
Match preview
Arsenal v Man City (1730 BST)
How do Arsenal react to last weekend's shock 3-2 defeat at Wigan? And how do City react to losing a game against Manchester United, which they deserved a draw out of.
What surprised me in the derby was that City boss Roberto Mancini took Adam Johnson off and put Patrick Vieira on, which suggested to me that he was happy with a point - which I didn't understand.
But I think that he would take a draw from this game, and gamble on winning their home games against Tottenham and Aston Villa.
Prediction: 1-1

SUNDAY
Aston Villa v Birmingham (1200 BST)
Villa are in really good form - since their FA Cup semi-final disappointment they are back pushing for fourth place again.
The unbelievable run that neighbours Birmingham went on has probably drained them but, even if they don't win any of their last three games, they have still had an excellent season.
Prediction: 2-0
Match preview
Burnley v Liverpool
The only way Burnley could get a positive result here is because they are going to get relegated and the pressure is off.
But Liverpool, even without the injured Fernando Torres, will get plenty of chances at Turf Moor - and, crucially, they will be flying back from Madrid after their Europa League tie, instead of a tiring journey over land.
Prediction: 1-2
Match preview
Everton v Fulham
This is a good time to play Fulham because, like Liverpool, they have been on a lengthy European sojourn.
Everton are finishing the season strongly; they are starting to concede one or two more goals than they would have liked but I cannot see them slipping up in this one.
Prediction: 2-0
Match preview
Chelsea v Stoke (1600 BST)
I think Manchester United are going to win all three of their remaining games so Chelsea are going to have to win all three games too if they are going to win the title.
They are not going to have too many problems against Stoke, although Tony Pulis's side are on a good run and won't make it easy for them. The Blues' visit to Liverpool next week is likely to be the key fixture for them.
I am going for a home win, on the proviso that Chelsea manager Carlo Ancelotti plays one up front, not Didier Drogba and Nicolas Anelka together - Anelka looks fitter and faster so it should probably be him. I would expect him to leave out Michael Ballack if he picks John Obi Mikel, because if the pair of them play, they slow things down too much in midfield.
Prediction: 2-0
