Here's what Jeff makes of the most popular Super 6 predictions so far...

Everton v Bournemouth

Most popular Super 6 prediction: 2-1 (32%)

"The fact that both sides are level on 41 points speaks volumes about the fortunes of these two sides. Only four home league wins for Everton says it all, second only to relegated Villa.

"Most of the people I have spoken to think it's time for a change of manager but I'm not in that camp. With safety now assured Bournemouth can take their foot off the gas a little. The Cherries have never beaten Everton and I think their wait will go on a little longer."

Newcastle v Crystal Palace

Most popular Super 6 prediction: 2-1 (32%)

"I agree with the majority. It's remarkable to think that four years ago Newcastle finished a best-ever fifth under Alan Pardew. How times change.

"This is a must-win match for the Magpies if they are to avoid relegation and they go into it in decent form after a win and two draws, including an excellent fightback at Anfield last week. Palace have nothing to play for and Newcastle's need is greater."

Jeff predicts: 2-1

Stoke v Sunderland

Most popular Super 6 prediction: 1-1 (29%)

"Again, I have to agree with the majority. Stoke have gone off the boil - 12 goals conceded in their last three matches - there's a real end-of-season feeling about them.

"Sunderland, on the other hand are in the best form of the teams at the bottom of the table - one defeat in their last seven - and have given themselves a real chance of avoiding the drop. They also are keeping clean sheets - three in their last four - a lot of that is down to the addition of Lamine Kone, who looks a great signing.

"I see another stalemate here which will certainly suit Sam Allardyce."

Jeff predicts: 1-1

Pundits' Super 6 picks

Find out what the Soccer Saturday pundits and Jamie Redknapp are predicting in their Super 6 accas.

Watford v Aston Villa

Most popular Super 6 prediction: 2-0 (35%)

"Watford have struggled of late, with only one win in their last eight league outings and missed out on a place in the FA Cup final.

"I find all the talk and speculation about Quique Sanchez Flores' future unbelievable. Maybe Watford's owners should take a close look at Villa and stick with one manager rather than try a number of different ones."

Jeff predicts: 1-0

West Brom v West Ham

Most popular Super 6 prediction: 1-2 (34%)

"Again, I'm with the majority here and expect West Ham to win on the road.

"I was very impressed with how West Brom played in the second-half at White Hart Lane on Monday. They were awful in the first-half but thoroughly deserved a point for their second half show, and they could have nicked it! Salomon Rondon looks a decent Premier League player on that form.

"However, I like West Ham and what they've done this season. They could move ahead of Manchester United for a short time at least. They are unbeaten in nine and have scored in their last 13. It's West Ham for me."

Jeff predicts: 1-2

Sheffield Wednesday v Cardiff

Most popular Super 6 prediction: 2-1 (25%)

"I disagree with that 25 percent. A draw is all Wednesday need and I think that's all they will get.

"The Owls are having a bit of a blip, they are nervy and really feeling the pressure. They've only won one of their last six and struggled to beat any of the top eight - and Cardiff are in that top eight.

"Cardiff, however, have problems of their own. They don't score enough goals and while I'm sure they'll give this a go I think Wednesday will get the final play-off place."

Jeff predicts: 1-1
