Prediction: 2-1Prediction: 2-1
Blackburn v FulhamBlackburn v Fulham
Fulham will be buoyed by their great victory over Arsenal, which arrested a run of defeats. class="bodl" href="/sport1/hi/football/eng_prem/6183230.stm">Match report
But Blackburn are slowly getting their injured players back fit again and they have started to look more like the team that we know they can be.

Portsmouth v Aston VillaPortsmouth v Aston Villa
This is a big test for Martin O'Neill following Villa's slip against Man City on Wednesday and I think it might prove too difficult. class="bodl" href="/sport1/hi/football/eng_prem/6183238.stm">Match report
Portsmouth's home form is very, very good and not many away teams manage even to score at Fratton Park.

Reading v BoltonReading v Bolton
Reading are looking more than capable in the Premiership, both in the environment and in the teams they have to play. class="bodl" href="/sport1/hi/football/eng_prem/6183244.stm">Match report
But I fancy Bolton to react after their defeat by Chelsea on Wednesday - and a draw here won't be a bad result for either side.

Sheffield Utd v CharltonSheffield Utd v Charlton
Sheffield United go into the game off the back of a great result at Watford and I think this will be a game that they will feel they can win. class="bodl" href="/sport1/hi/football/eng_prem/6183262.stm">Match report
Charlton have really struggled and that hasn't changed since Les Reed replaced Iain Dowie as manager and I feel they will suffer again in a tight, scrappy affair.

Wigan v LiverpoolWigan v Liverpool
Wigan will be looking to take advantage of Liverpool's woeful away form but the law of averages suggests that Liverpool are going to score away from home sooner rather than later. class="bodl" href="/sport1/hi/football/eng_prem/6183274.stm">Match report
And Rafael Benitez's side will want to get their fans back on side after the goalless draw with Portsmouth.

I think Middlesbrough will set themselves out to play extremely defensively but I still do not believe that will save them here.I think Middlesbrough will set themselves out to play extremely defensively but I still do not believe that will save them here.

Everton v West Ham (1600 GMT)Everton v West Ham (1600 GMT)
Everton, without Andrew Johnson and Tim Cahill, do not look like scoring - and James Beattie has done nothing really for a long, long time.Everton, without Andrew Johnson and Tim Cahill, do not look like scoring - and James Beattie has done nothing really for a long, long time.
West Ham still have the feel-good factor under their new owner and after picking up the win last weekend.West Ham still have the feel-good factor under their new owner and after picking up the win last weekend.

Watford seriously need to start picking up results otherwise they will end up being cast adrift. However, I cannot see them getting anything here.Watford seriously need to start picking up results otherwise they will end up being cast adrift. However, I cannot see them getting anything here.
