Manchester City Vs Southampton
Manchester City gained 4 points from two huge matches against United and Arsenal and must now believe they are firm favourites for the Premier League title. The Blues could move into second place with a win over Southampton who visit The Etihad on the back of a 4-0 win over Newcastle The Saints have had an excellent campaign and could yet finish above Champions Manchester United this term. Sergio Aguero looks set to return to the squad and could feature as a substitute. Comfortable home win expected.
Prediction 3-0

Aston Villa Vs Fulham
Aston Villa have lost two matches in a row by an identical 4-1 scoreline and will hope to get back to winning ways when the League’s bottom club come to Villa Park on Saturday. Villa have been rocked by the news that Christian Benteke will be out for 6 months due to an achilles injury. Fulham look destined to play Championship football next season having lost four of their last five fixtures. The Cottagers need to turn things around fast if they are to have any chance of avoiding relegation. Score draw.
Prediction 1-1
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Cardiff City Vs Crystal Palace
Cardiff City host Crystal Palace in a huge relegation 6 pointer on Saturday. The Bluebirds are in the bottom three and need to improve their home form if they are to play in the Premier League next season. Crystal Palace are five points clear of their hosts thanks to a tremendous 1-0 win over Chelsea last weekend at Selhurst Park. Palace know that a win here would put them in pole position to retain their status in the Premier League. Narrow home win.
Prediction 1-0

Hull City Vs Swansea
Hull City have enjoyed a good campaign overall but have suffered a dip in form lately which sees them flirting with relegation heading into Gameweek 33. The Tigers managed to end a losing streak at The KC Stadium with an important win over West Brom and need to back this up when Swansea visit. The Swans followed their draw at Arsenal with an impressive 3-0 win over Norwich which saw them move to 33 points along with their hosts. Stalemate at The KC Stadium.
Prediction 0-0
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Newcastle Vs Manchester United
Newcastle United have suffered two heavy defeats on the bounce and will want to get back to winning ways on Saturday at St James’ Park. The Magpies sit 9th in the table and will hope to end the campaign in the top half of the division. Manchester United battled hard and earned a 1-1 draw with Bayern Munich midweek and will hope to bring the same attitude into this match. Juan Mata returns while RVP remains sidelined through injury. David Moyes will have to shuffle his pack further still following the news that Wayne Rooney will sit this match out with a toe injury. Score draw expected in the North East.
Prediction 1-1
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Norwich Vs West Brom
Norwich have stuck by manager Chris Hughton and the club sit 6 points clear of the relegation zone heading into Gameweek 33. The Canaries have a great opportunity to move to 35 points when West Brom visit Carrow Road on Saturday. The Baggies are 17th in the standings and in desperate need of points. Having taken the lead against Cardiff in stoppage time West Brom were devastated to concede what could be a hugely important goal at the end of the season. Norwich to boost their chances of survival with a win.
Prediction 1-0
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Chelsea Vs Stoke
Chelsea’s season may have come unstuck in the space of two weeks with costly defeats at Aston Villa, Crystal Palace and PSG in the Champions League. Mourinho is clearly unimpressed with his options up front and preferred Schurrle to Torres in Paris with Eto’o out injured. Stoke beat Chelsea in the reverse fixture at The Britannia earlier this season and sit 10th in the Premier League heading into this Gameweek. The Potters have won four of their last five and are in great form heading to Stamford Bridge. Chelsea win expected.
Prediction 2-0
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Everton Vs Arsenal
Super Sunday kicks off with a huge match at Goodison Park. Everton host Arsenal with a great opportunity to break into the Top 4 at the expense of The Gunners. Everton have won six in a row at home and their last two matches on the road and are in great form. The Gunners visit Goodison without a win in 3 Premier League matches and in the knowledge that their opponents will be 1 point behind them with a game in hand should they lose. Huge game for Everton and I expect a home win.
Prediction 1-0
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
West Ham Vs Liverpool
West Ham have surely done enough to retain their status in the Premier League following their win at Sunderland on Monday Night Football. The Hammers are 11th having recorded 37 points heading into Gameweek 33. Liverpool are the dark horses for a title challenge and are in great form heading to East London. The Reds have won their last four matches on the road and have scored 15 goals in the process. Andy Carroll scored on Monday and would love to bag a goal against his former employers on Sunday afternoon. Liverpool win expected.
Prediction 1-3
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Tottenham Vs Sunderland
Tottenham Hotspur have fallen off the pace for a Top 4 finish and look set to miss out on a Champions League berth for next season. Tim Sherwood will demand his troops keep the pressure on the sides above them and hope for Arsenal and Everton to slip up. Sunderland are in all sorts of trouble in the Relegation Zone and missed an opportunity to make up ground when they lost against West Ham on Monday. The Black Cats have lost 3 in a row on their travels and I expect them to be beaten at White Hart Lane.
Prediction 2-0
