Week 21 Predictions

Last week, I got 2 results right but no perfect scores. This week,

West Brom 2-1 Fulham
Swansea 2-0 Aston Villa
Man City 3-1 Stoke
West Ham 1-1 Norwich
Tottenham 3-0 Reading
Southampton 1-2 Arsenal
Chelsea 4-0 QPR
Liverpool 2-0 Sunderland
Newcastle 2-2 Everton

Wigan 0-2 Man Utd

Halfway through the season and Wigan are only a point above the relegation zone. The Latics have only one once in their last 6 games, that victory ending a run of three successive defeats. It was a timely win for them, especially because they're getting their injured players back in the team.

Manchester United sit 7 points clear at the top of the table. While this lead is certainly not unassailable, it is a fantastic situation for them to be in. United's last game against West Brom happened to be their first clean sheet in 6 games and a lot of that is down to the return of captain Nemanja Vidic.

I expect United to prevail.
