YTM Predictions Week 34

Hi Readers!

Here are my thoughts on what promises to be an exciting Easter weekend of football.

Good Friday

Everton v Fulham
I would love to say that Fulham will get something here, but Everton have looked very good in recent weeks, and should pick up the three points here with AJ grabbing a goal or two.
YTM Prediction - Home Win

Man City v Charlton
This is a key game before any of the other relegation battlers play on Saturday, and the team who wins would take a giant leap to safety. Emile Mpenza looks like a lively forward, and it would not surprise me if he bagged another. Never write off a team that includes Darren Bent though!
YTM Prediction - Draw

Saturday

Arsenal v West Ham
West Ham beat the Gunners in the game at Upton Park earlier in the season. The Gunners have had a good break as they were not in the Champions League Quarter Finals, and they should prove to be too strong at the Emirates.
YTM Prediction - Home Win

Blackburn v Villa
Villa don't concede many goals, and they will have to be wary of the potential ability of McCarthy and Pedersen. I think that this one will be an entertaining draw, so no Clean Sheets to be had here!
YTM Prediction - Draw

Chelsea v Spurs
Match of the weekend by far. Spurs will be looking for payback after their exit in the FA Cup, but Chelsea need to keep up with Man United. Should be a fairly open game, and I expect Chelsea to keep up their good form with a win, and Drogba grabbing another goal against Spurs.
YTM Prediction - Home Win

Middlesbrough v Watford
Middlesbrough were awful against West Ham, and they will need to raise their game to get three points against Watford. Aidy Boothroyd men are still fighting, and they may scrape a draw at the Riverside.
YTM Prediction - Draw

Pompey v Man Utd
Pompey are on poor form, and Man United will not turn the heat down, as they look to get three points and hope that Spurs take something from Chelsea.
YTM Prediction - Away Win

Reading v Liverpool
Liverpool's performance in Eindhoven was the most professional showing in European football a long time! Reading will have to be on top form if they are to get anything from this game. My money is on Crouch... It is always on Crouch!
YTM Prediction - Away Win

Sheff Utd v Newcastle
Newcastle had a very disappointing result at home to Man City last weekend, and they will be looking to get three points against the Blades, who have been very blunt of late. However, Warnock's men will be fighting, and they could surprise the Geordie Boys.
YTM Prediction - Home Win

Wigan v Bolton
I can't see this being the match of the weekend somehow. This Lancashire derby will have a lot of grit and determination, but not goals...
YTM Prediction - Draw

That's your lot guys, have a Happy Easter!
