Week 31 Predictions

Last week, I got 4 results right and 1 perfect score. This week,

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

Sunderland 0-2 Man Utd

Sunderland are a team in disarray. They are ranked lowest in the 'form' table, having picked up only 2 points in their last 6 games. As a result, they are not safe by any means and need to pick up points soon in order to avoid getting engulfed in the relegation scrap.

Man United could field a weakened side with one eye on Monday's FA Cup quarterfinal replay against Chelsea. While this may give the Black Cats some hope, United still have enough quality to see them through and record a 7th consecutive league win.

I expect United to win comfortably.

Week 17 Predictions

Last week, I got 2 results right and one perfect score. This week,

Newcastle 1-1 Man City
Liverpool 2-0 Aston Villa
Norwich 2-1 Wigan
QPR 0-0 Fulham
Stoke 1-2 Everton
Tottenham 2-0 Swansea
West Brom 2-1 West Ham
Reading 1-1 Arsenal

Man Utd 3-0 Sunderland

Man United got a great result last weekend when they beat champions Man City in the first derby of the season. The win puts them six points clear at the top of the table. Nemanja Vidic could finally make his long awaited return to the first team and United can further increase their lead at the top.

Sunderland beat Reading in their own six-pointer in midweek. That game put an end to their four match winless streak. However, they still need to do a lot of work before they can start to break away from the relegation-threatened sides.

I expect goals from the home side.
