Martin O’Neill has resigned from his post as manager of Aston Villa with only five days before the FA Premier league starts. This has left Aston Villa in a right state as O’Neill has left with immediate effect. Leaving the club to appoint Kevin MacDonald as the assistant manager. He will have to pick the side to play West Ham and that team will more than likely not include James Milner who is scheduled to sign for Manchester City in the next few days.

Why Did O’Neill Leave?

Rumours have it that O’Neill was unhappy that with the amount of money that was going to be available to buy players from the sell of James Milner to Manchester City. Recently Aston Villa owner Randy Lerner had been quoted saying that they must sell to buy, which is not really what O’Neill wanted to hear as he had started to build a young team and to have to sell your best players it not the way the club will challenge for the Champions League or even Premier league title.

This is why we think O’Neill resigned, because he’d taken Villa as far as he could with the resources at his disposal. He wanted to challenge for the Champions League places and Premier league title and had the right framework in place, especially with young English players, but his hand was force to sell and then not be given enough funds to buy in better quality players.

Who Will Villa Appoint?

We predict that Glenn Hoddle will be mentioned for the Villa job or even Sven Goran Eriksson getting another crack at managing a Premier league team.

Manchester United started the season of with yet another piece of silverware, by beating Chelsea 3-1 at Wembley in the FA Community Shield. This is the first time Manchester United have beaten Ancelotti’s team.

Antonio Valencia's scorer the opener after a good low pass from Wayne Rooney, and new signing Javier Hernandez scored on his debut with a comical goal after coming on as a half-time substitute.

Chelsea kept pushing for a goal, but found Edwin van der Sar in top form. However, Chelsea did pull a goal back through Salomon Kalou- after van der Sar had made a one handed save from a Daniel Sturridge effort.

Substitute Dimitar Berbatov killed the game off with a excellent lob in the final minutes. Paul Scholes was awarded the man of the match as he controlled the midfield from start to finish with a superb passing display.

This is a crucial game for both teams, as they both need the three points to help mount a serious challenge to Liverpool, who currently top the FA Premier League. I predict that Chelsea will bag all three points, winning 2-1.

Manchester United will dominate the first half and take the lead with Dimitar Berbatov getting on the score sheet. However, Chelsea will come out all guns blazing after Luiz Felipe Scolari gives his troops an ear bashing. Didier Drogba will equalise early on to setup a tense finish to the game and Frank Lampard will pop up in the last seconds of the game to score the winning with a header.

Prediction

Manchester United 1 - 2 Chelsea

Chelsea's 2-0 win over Newcastle United means that the title race goes down to the final game of the season.

Micheal Ballack settled Chelsea's nerves in the second half, with Florent Malouda scoring the second to seal the win. The pressure is now back on Manchester United as they travel to Wigan Athletic and Chelsea take on Bolton Wanderers.

This season has been the closes for ages and all eyes with be on the top and bottom of the table, I'm sure the final day of the season will be the most dramatic for along while. I think a lot of fans will be biting their nails, listening to the radio and praying that the results go their way.

I predict that Manchester United will win 3-1 against Wigan Athletic and retain the Premier League title. Chelsea have made the season interesting, but have just left it too late.

Will Fulham pulled off the great escape and survive the drop? They are definitely in the driving seat, after beating Birmingham City 2-0. Fulham wanted the win much more than Birmingham City and ran out deserved winners. The win moves them out of the bottom three and it looks like Roy Hodson has turned their fortunes around.

WIth Fulham's destiny is in their own hands, Birmingham City need to win against Blackburn Rovers and hope that both Fulham and Reading do not win. It's going to be a tall task as Blackburn Rovers are still chasing a UEFA place.

Elsewhere Reading have dropped into the bottom three and look almost certain to be relegated. After not scoring for the last six games they face bottom club Derby at the best possible time when on a goal drought. If they can't break the duck against Derby then the Championship beckons and with it the millions of pounds in lost revenue that Premier League status guarantees.

I've changed my predictions and I think that Reading and Birmingham City along with Derby will be relegated at the end of the season.
