First thoughts are Birmingham could well spring a surprise here as Pompey are now in the FA cup semi's and looking at league positions it looks like there easiest route to a UEFA cup spot as its looking more and more unlikely they will finish 5th in the Premiership which will be the last qualifying place now Man U are out of the Cup.
Birmingham will realise this and try to get the most out of this match as they are desperate for points at the moment and one of the form sides in that relegation bunch and have done quite well on the rd under Mcleash, the least i can see them getting here is a draw if not the win.

Villa should have little trouble pushing aside a dismal Boro side who will have had the wind taken out of their sails by getting beat by Cardiff at the weekend, Villa are on fire at the moment form wise and will be looking at this as a must win game to keep in contention for a Euro spot and create a bit of space between them and the Chasing pack.
Suppose there is a chance of Middlesborough trying to bounce bag after such a result and trying to nick a point to ease their relegation fears but Villa should be too strong for them.
Villa win

As for Chelsea v Derby then as the odds suggest it should be a pretty straight forward win with a hatful of goals for the blues but i won't be touching them at those odds after Saturdays result.
