There's a bit of surprise further down, though, with Preston, Nottingham Forest, Leeds and Derby all set to secure a play-off place, despite none of those sides currently occupying a top-six spot.

It's bad news for the Second City rivals as Villa have been tipped to slip down into the bottom half, while Birmingham are set to finish bottom. Sunderland and Bolton, currently 24th and 23rd respectively, are being backed to climb to safety, while Reading and Burton will join the Blues in being relegated.

The Sky Sports predictor is based on a system called Elo, originally set up to rate chess players. It takes into account form, who your team still has left to play, and how well a team has done in previous seasons.
