Premiere League weekend preview


It’s a huge weekend in the English Premier League as the season reaches it’ climax. Who will win the title? Who will reach Europe? Who will go down? This weekend should give us some big clues!

Chelsea 2.5 Draw 3.00 Man Utd 2.7

With a three point lead going into this match a victory here for Man Utd over their closest rivals would all but secure the Premiership title. Any chance for Chelsea?

Birmingham 2.8 Draw 3.2 Liverpool 2.3

After a crushing defeat at the hands of Aston Villa last week Birmingham are in real trouble of suffering relegation. On Saturday they face a huge task as they welcome Liverpool to St Andrews.

Man City 1.85 Draw 3.4 Fulham 3.75

Fulham could be relegated this weekend if a number of results go against them but they’ll fancy their chances of taking something from a Man City side with nothing to play for.

Sunderland 2.2 Draw 3.2 Middlesboro 3.00

Both these sides are locked together on 36 points and should be clear of any relegation worries. Sunderland lost to local rivals Newcastle last week and will look to regain some North East pride here.

Tottenham 1.85 Draw 3.4 Bolton 3.75

Two wins in a row for Bolton have given their survival hopes a shot in the arm and on Saturday they look to move out of the relegation zone when they travel to White Hart Lane.

West Ham 2.4 Draw 3.2 Newcastle 2.7

After an excellent run of form lately Newcastle are now just five points behind West Ham in the Premier League. Another win for Kevin Keegan’s side?

Wigan 2.1 Draw 3.2 Reading 3.2

Reading are in real trouble after three consecutive defeats and Steve Coppell’s side can’t afford to lose again here against Wigan on Saturday.

Portsmouth 2.1 Draw 3.2 Blackburn 3.2

Both these sides have Europe on their mind as we approach the end of the season. Blackburn need to win to keep their Intertoto Cup hopes alive while Portsmouth will qualify for the UEFA Cup if they beat Cardiff in the FA Cup Final in three weeks.

Everton 2.2 Draw 3.2 Aston Villa 3.0

This is a huge game for both sides as the race for 5th place and the UEFA Cup spot reaches its conclusion. Villa are in great form and are going for their fourth win in a row.

Derby 9.0 Draw 4.75 Arsenal 1.28

Both these sides will be playing out the season with nothing to play for and for Derby it’s a season they’ll be eager to forget with just one win in the league all year!
