Blackburn (A)
Aston Villa (H)
Tottenham (A)
Wolves (H)

There's some tricky games in there, the 3 that stand out are: Blackburn, Spurs and Sunderland. Here's what i think:
Fulham (A) - Tight game. Fulham need to be careful as they're close to the bottom 3, and with a run of bad results, they could find themselves in a scrap, not that i expect to see them going down.
PREDICTION: DRAW
Blackburn (A) - Blackburn are fighting for their lives down the bottom and are in serious danger of losing their premier league status. They stayed up by the skin of their teeth last season, and before they play us they travel to Mersyside to play Everton, in what will be a difficult game for them. That being said, i'd expect a win but it will be a tight game here too.
PREDICTION: WIN
Aston Villa (H) - Villa have been out of sorts so far this season, having ups and downs and some sections of the Villa fans are getting on manager Alex Mcleish's back. Upfront they have pace and could trouble our defence, so far they've gained 2 wins, 6 draws and 2 defeats from home, i think this may end up a 1 - 1 draw
PREDICTION: DRAW
Tottenham (A) - A very difficult game this one. Spurs are flying at the moment and have been playing some great football this season and currently sit in 3rd on 46 points but in their next 3 premier league games they have to play Man City,Wigan and Liverpool. Two very tough away games there, and i think they'll only pick up four points from them games. I can only see a Spurs victory in this one.
PREDICTION: LOSS
Wolves (H) - At the moment, Wolves sit 1 point above fellow strugglers Blackburn and are in another scrap for survival, after almost going down last season on a dramatic last day, coming back from 3 goals down. Their fixtures leading up to our game are: A derby against Villa, at home to Liverpool, away to QPR and another derby against West Brom. All difficult games for them, and since Wolves have only won once away all season, i can't see them changing that against QPR or us.
PREDICTION: WIN
Mackems (H) - Sunderland are climbing back up the table and now look like they could finish in the top half, but when Bruce was in charge, they looked like they could actually find themselves scrapping down the bottom half if they weren't careful. Now Martin O'neil has come in and steadied the ship and has them playing alot better than they were. Sunderlands strikers shouldn't really give our defence a hard time but Sessengon looks a right handful and could definatley 'cause some trouble at the back. Sunderlands games leading up to the derby are: Swansea (H), Norwich (H), Stoke (A), Arsenal (H), West Brom (A). You'd expect them to gain atleast 7 points from them games and that could give them alot of confidence coming into this, but we will have Tiote, Cisse and Ba back from international duty so i can see this being a good game but a game in which we will win.
PREDICTION: WIN
I've predicted a total of 11 points from a maximum of 15 and if we end up getting them, then we've done superb!
Predictions?
