Below were the predicted outcomes for the midweek fixtures of Tues 26th and Wed 27th April 2005.
| Tues 7:45 | West Brom v Blackburn |
| West Brom were thrust back into the relegation places after their 4-0 defeat away at Boro but this result belies their current form and they have done well to pick up after being bottom at Christmas and doomed for the drop. At home they are undefeated in their last 6 and have to take all 3 points if they are to give themselves a chance of staying in the Premiership. They are up against a Blackburn side who now have nothing left to play for after virtually securing their Premiership status and have only won 4 away but they are an improved team under Mark Hughes, even if they prefer to resort to more brutal tactics. West Brom have so much more at stake here but just need to be more patient and not expose themselves to the counter attack if they are to prevail. | |
| Home Win 1-0 | |
| Wed 7:45 | Newcastle v Middlesbrough |
| Both these sides have well publicised injury problems and both have endured miserable runs of late after exits from Europe. Newcastle have been narrowly missing out recently but their home form isn't too bad having won 4 from the last 6. Every time Souness looks to have turned the corner some internal dispute rears it's ugly head and his team are back to square one but eventually they should learn from their mistakes. Even though Newcastle have nothing left to play for they will want to do well in front of their own fans against local rivals Boro, a side who have not lived up to their billing recently aside from their home defeat of West Brom but the Baggies had chances to go 0-3 up before Boro finally got to grips with the game and finished 4-0 winners. This result papers over some of the cracks; they have lost 7 from 16 on the road and will not find things so easy at St. James Pk. | |
| Home Win 1-0 | |
