Preview: Norwich City v Aston Villa
Kings of the draw Aston Villa travel to Carrow Road to battle Norwich City on the final day of the 2011-12 Premier League season.
Villa have drawn a league-leading 17 times, while managing just seven wins. Only Wolves, who have tallied five victories, have won fewer games this season.
Meanwhile, Norwich have put up an impressive 11-11-15 record in their return to England’s top flight, including a 6-6-6 record at Carrow Road.
Despite having won just three away fixtures in the league this season, Villa have recorded 19 points away from Villa Park.
Prediction: Norwich City v Aston Villa
Norwich win their home finale, 2-0 Canaries.
Preview: Stoke City v Bolton Wanderers
Heading into this fixture at the Britannia Stadium, Stoke have nothing to play for, while Bolton are in need of three points to keep their hopes of avoiding relegation alive.
If Manchester City defeat Queens Park Rangers and Bolton take care of business at the Britannia Stadium, Wanderers will have successfully avoided relegation.
Easier said than done. Stoke are extremely tough at home, having been defeated just four times at the Britannia this season.
On the other side of the touchline, Bolton have actually been better away from the Reebok Stadium.
The Wanderers have notched 19 points away from home, while posting just 16 at the Reebok.
With that said, don’t expect a Bolton miracle at the Britannia on Sunday.
Prediction: Stoke City v Bolton Wanderers
Nothing to separate the two sides, 1-1 stalemate.
Preview: Sunderland v Manchester United
Sunderland play host to Sir Alex Ferguson and Manchester United on Sunday, with both Sunderland and United wanting to end their 2011-12 campaigns on a high note.
Now then, both Sunderland and United still have things to play for.
The Black Cats can still finish in the top half of the table, while United can still win the Premier League title.
Prediction: Sunderland v Manchester United
United take care of business, 3-0 Red Devils.
