Birmingham 0:1/4 Blackburn
I reckon it's either a home win or draw. If Birmingham can defend well, there's a slight chance they can win this match. But of coz, they still need to depend on results elsewhere. Blackburn will need to win, and Aston Villa fail to do so at West Ham, if they're to clinch sixth spot for the third time in six seasons, and gain entry to the Intertoto Cup.
Suggest : Birmingham -1/4
Chelsea 0:2 Bolton
The Blues clinched their first title for 50 years, when they won 2-0 at Bolton in 2005. This year, they will need Wigan to hold Man Utd to a draw if they beat Bolton. I think this should be home win without any doubts, with just a matter of how many goals. Chances of Anelka on the score sheet is good as he has the habit of scoring against all his former teams. I feel Chelsea knows the chances of the ELP title is not in their hands, but rather they will focus more to the Champion League success.
Suggest : Bolton +2 (or +21/2 at S'pool @1.50)
Derby 1:0 Reading
Given the h'cap at 1 goal, this seems to be a bit too high as Reading has gone 6 matches without a goal. But of coz this a last chance for them to stay in the ELP if they beat Derby hoping Fullham and Birmingham lose or draw. The only threat from Reading would be Kitson & Doyle, but i do see Derby stand a chance to upset this game. Derby has a resonable goalkie R.Carroll, but it's just the defence that let them down. They do scored in their last 3 games, so at h'cap +1 would be good to consider that.
Suggest : Derby +1 (or +11/2 at S'pool @1.50)
Everton 0:3/4 Newcastle
After watching Newcastle against Chelsea last week, they were poor and lack of ideas upfront. But of coz, it was a MUST win game for Chelsea if they were to stand any chance of the title. I did suspect Chelsea will win the game coz there's a bad blood between Keegan & Fergie. In this way, you could said Newcastle did a favour for Chelsea, hoping next season they will "return" them one. Everton fought hard against Arsenal but it's the scoring part that Everton needs. If Everton were to field either A.Johnson, Yakubu or Anichebe, two in attack - they might finish their last home game with a sweet victory for their fans and looking to the UEFA qualification.
Suggest : Everton -3/4
