Make your Premier League predictions PREMIER LEAGUE PREDICTIONS (All kick-offs are 1500 GMT unless specified) SATURDAY Aston Villa v West Brom (1245 GMT) This will be obviously be a hard-fought derby and Villa have been showing their best form away from Villa Park. But because of their style and their habit of stealing points with the late goals I'm going for a narrow home win. Verdict: 2-1 Match preview Arsenal v Bolton Fans of both teams will be waiting to see who they buy and sell in the January sales and Arsene Wenger will be keen on rejuvenating his squad. Neither team have been great on the road and Bolton will be looking to bounce back after having a good November. But it won't be at the Emirates. Verdict: 2-0 Match preview Everton v Hull Hull are on a bad run and haven't won since the start of December. Everton are difficult to beat and are very good defensively. With Everton using their 4-5-1 system and playing with plenty of support in the middle, they should be too strong for Hull. Verdict: 2-0 Match preview Fulham v Blackburn Fulham have had a great two months and haven't lost since 1 November. And Sam Allardyce has shored up the Blackburn defence and made them difficult to beat. But because of Fulham's great run I'm going to stick with them. Verdict: 2-1 Match preview Middlesbrough v Sunderland Middlesbrough are on a shocking run and will find it difficult to keep hold of Stewart Downing. It is very hard to make a player stay when they clearly want to leave. Sunderland, meanwhile, have improved greatly under Ricky Sbragia and they will battle hard to get a point at the Riverside. Verdict: 2-2 Match preview Newcastle v West Ham West Ham have had a funny couple of months but they came back with a couple of good wins around Christmas. They are unpredictable and that is the way they will be for the rest of the season. Newcastle got thumped by Liverpool and beaten by Wigan after a good win against Tottenham, but I'm going for a narrow home win. Verdict: 2-1 Match preview Portsmouth v Man City Both are in need of a good result and with Portsmouth losing Jermain Defoe they will be wondering who they may lose next at Fratton Park. Mark Hughes will only add quality to his squad at Eastlands but I am still to be convinced by City. Verdict: 1-1 Match preview Stoke v Liverpool (1730 GMT) Liverpool are on such a good run they will not slip up here. They are extremely hard to beat - even when they aren't playing well. They also have Fernando Torres back and have plenty of strength in the centre. Stoke are also dealing with injuries and suspensions. An easy win. Verdict: 0-2 Match preview SUNDAY Wigan v Tottenham (1330 GMT) We have seen the different sides of Spurs recently with good wins in the FA and Carling Cup, but disappointing losses to West Brom and Newcastle in the league. Wigan are still doing well but I think Spurs will hang on for a point. Verdict: 1-1 Match preview Man Utd v Chelsea (1600 GMT) This has just got draw written all over it! Chelsea will come into the game saying 'don't lose'. United will be saying 'we can't let them beat us'. Managers don't necessarily pick teams to reflect that but these games are always tight. There will be bound to be talking points and possibly a sending off but a draw will certainly favour Liverpool. Verdict: 1-1 Match preview Mark Lawrenson was talking to BBC Sport's Mark Ashenden
