SATURDAY 2ND MARCH

Everton v Reading

Reading have picked themselves up a bit and at least have a fighting chance of survival from relegation. Everton are still strong despite their threadbare squad, but in seasons past Everton tended to start the season badly and get better. So if they repeat this sequence then Everton could even get a top 6 finish. For this game as it’s at Everton I only see one winner. Everton 1-0. 44

FIXTURES & PREDICTIONS

Chelsea still fancy their chances at 2nd at least and with West Brom a pale shadow of what they were at the start of the season, Chelsea as hosts must surely be favourites. West Brom haven’t got a big enough squad to compete with the big boys and as the season gets longer, injuries and the like begin to appear. Peter Odemwingie’s astonishing whoring himself to join QPR on transfer deadline day also didn’t help matters and as he’s now been sent off on loan never to be seen again, I think West Brom will probably be happy with a top ten place at the end of the season. They’ll get no points for that purpose here though. 3-0 to Chelsea.

Premiership

Chelsea v West Bromwich Albion

I can’t see Manchester United doing a ‘Devon Loch’ once more and throw it all away like they did last season. Alex Ferguson Unless they get key injuries and suffer a serious loss of form, United have got the premiership in the bag. That’ll be title number 20. An awesome achievement for Ferguson but it has to be said, the other top teams let him win this one. Chelsea have self combusted as usual and switched managers, and I have little pity for them. Arsenal have been pretty useless and Manchester City and especially their manager Roberto Mancini have been particularly woeful. All Ferguson can do is beat what they’re up against and that’s been pretty weak and tepid at times. Norwich come a calling and they’ll take a beating as well. Norwich aren’t out of the woods either yet, so they’ll at least fight. United will win though 2- 0.

Southampton v Queens Park Rangers

Both sides are fighting for survival and with Southampton looking the likelier to survive. Harry Harry Redknapp Redknapp has already done
