Fulham Vs Stoke
Fulham played out a forgettable 0-0 draw against Norwich in their last League outing. Since then, The Cottagers have had two weeks off to recharge their batteries and will welcome Stoke to Craven Cottage on Saturday lunchtime. Stoke City were able to put an end to a disappointing run of form which had seen them win none of their previous 5 matches before the win over Reading in Gameweek 26. A win here would surely be enough to keep Fulham away from the Relegation zone. Can see this ending in a draw.
Prediction 1-1

Arsenal Vs Aston Villa
Arsenal fans made their displeasure known when Championship side Blackburn knocked The Gunners out of the FA Cup at The Emirates on Saturday. Supporters at The Emirates were left deflated yet again when Bayern Munich taught The Gunners a lesson in The Champions League last 16 on Tuesday. Aston Villa fans were made to sweat for the last few minutes when West Ham visited Villa Park. That win could be crucial in May, and moved Paul Lambert’s team out of the Relegation Zone. Villa should be fully recharged having had 13 days between their last fixture.
Prediction 2-1

Norwich Vs Everton
Norwich enjoy their second Premier League match in a row at Carrow Road. Three consecutive draws have moved The Canaries to a tally of 29 points entering Gameweek 27 – 6 points clear of danger. Norwich travel to Old Trafford next weekend so would love to pick up some points before that difficult trip. Everton had to travel to Oldham for the FA Cup on Saturday following their defeat at the hands of Manchester United in Gameweek 26.
Prediction 1-1

QPR Vs Manchester United
Queens Park Rangers lost their unbeaten run when they visited Swansea in Gameweek 26. Rangers were well beaten and ended up losing 4-1 at The Liberty Stadium. Harry Redknapp has since had 2 weeks to raise the morale of his players before Manchester United visit Loftus Road. The Red Devils have played twice since their last League game gaining two positive results in the process. The R’s will need a huge performance if they are to trouble the League leaders on Saturday.
Prediction 1-3
————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————-
Reading Vs Wigan
Reading seem to have become attached to a 2-1 scoreline – All of their last 3 matches have ended with that score featuring two defeats and one victory. Despite being in the bottom 3 entering Gameweek 27, The Royals have a real chance of climbing the table when 19th placed Wigan visit The Madejski. Wigan are also in dire need of a win having secured just 3 points from their last 6 matches. Reading have won 3 of their last 4 home matches and I am backing them to record a huge win on Saturday.
Prediction 2-1
————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————-
West Brom Vs Sunderland
West Brom were finally able to end their win-less streak and secured a huge win at Anfield to do the Double over Liverpool this season. That away win moved The Baggies to 37 points – Two behind Liverpool. Lukaku continues to get on the scoresheet and West Brom must be enjoying having such talent available even though Lukaku is ultimately a Chelsea player. Sunderland have lost two in a row in the League most recently at home to Arsenal. Home win expected here.
Prediction 2-0
————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————-
Manchester City Vs Chelsea
Super Sunday kicks off when Champions Manchester City welcome Chelsea to The Etihad Stadium. Manchester City were dire in their away match against Southampton and lost 3-1 in Gameweek 26. City have now all but conceded the Title to United but will want to ensure they do not lose their grip on 2nd spot. Chelsea despatched Wigan 4-1 in their last League match and are closing the gap on City above them. Both clubs won their FA Cup fixtures 4-0 at the weekend and will be brimming with confidence.
Prediction 2-1
————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————-
Newcastle Vs Southampton
Newcastle United were unable to record their third League win in a row when a brace from Gareth Bale saw The Geordies lose at White Hart Lane. Despite their impressive recent form, The Magpies are still flirting with relegation and need more points to move clear of danger. Southampton recorded a huge 3-1 win over Champions Manchester City in Gameweek 26 and sit ahead of Newcastle on goal difference as they make the long trip to the North East. Cabaye to orchestrate a home win here.
Prediction 2-0
————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————-
West Ham Vs Tottenham
West Ham United appear to have done enough to be clear of any relegation worries this season. With Andy Carroll back from injury The Hammers will look to turn around their recent form which has seen them take just four points from their last six matches. Tottenham are flying at the moment and can be thankful to Gareth Bale for scoring all of their League goals since Gameweek 23 when Dempsey found the net. West Ham will need to keep a lid on Spurs number 11 if they want to get anything from this game.
Prediction 1-2
