I wouldn't be surprised if the top four stayed as they are, with the possible exception of Spurs dropping to fifth and Arsenal overtaking. I'm rather hoping that Everton can sneak into the European places (our run-in to the end of the season isn't too bad, with only Chelsea and Liverpool being that bad, really), though slightly more realistically, I think Spurs and Bolton for the UEFA Cup.

I think Sunderland and Portsmouth are certain for the drop, with the remaining place going to either Boro, West Brom or Birmingham. Hopefully Birmingham so Steve Bruce's name disappears from being related to the England managers job!

Going with Chelsea for the FA Cup and Man Utd. for the Carling.
I think you're spot on, although I can't really see Middlesbrough being relegated once they get their squad back to full strengh. I'd like to see Wigan make the UEFA cup too, but I fear that they won't be consistent enough in the final part of the season. Bolton seem the most likely candidate to take that final European spot, so I'd say your predictions are sound. Good work.
