Leeds v Nottingham Forest - Friday 20:00, Live on Sky Sports

This is a tough one to call with both teams desperate for points. It was a great week for both teams with West Ham losing in the last minute to Chelsea. With so much at stake for both clubs, I'll go for a draw.

Man United v Tottenham - Saturday 12:30, Live on TNT Sports

With Spurs, their away form isn't too bad. Having said that, Man United are at home and flying. For that reason, I'll go for a Man United win. 

Benjamin Sesko got a big goal last week but hasn't really started at Man united, he's been in and out so it's very similar to Newcastle's situation with their strikers. He has to show a lot more, but that goal will do his confidence the world of good and he will be hoping he can play a big part again this week.

Arsenal v Sunderland - Saturday 15:00

I don't think Sunderland will turn their home form into away form this weekend. At home they've been amazing but going to Arsenal, with the form they're in and how they're playing, Arsenal will have too much for them. Home win.

---

Bournemouth v Aston Villa - Saturday 15:00

It was a shock that Aston Villa didn't beat 10-man Brentford last week. They've been superb in the league this season and Bournemouth have been up and down. I'll say Villa will bounce back here and take the points.

---

Burnley v West Ham - Saturday 15:00

West Ham were brilliant in the first half against Chelsea. The manner in which they lost last week will have hurt. Todibo is suspended but Burnley give me no confidence whatsoever that they can win a game. It'll be an uncomfortable draw.

It's a big opportunity for West Ham to pick up points. They have to take it. They can't afford to throw it away, but I don't think they will do that and I will go for the teams to share the points.

---

Fulham v Everton - Saturday 15:00

This is a really tough one to call. Fulham were unlucky against Man United losing in the final stages of the game having done well to come back from two goals down. Everton and Moyesy are doing a great job though. I don't think it'll be a great game, but I'll go for an Everton win.

---

Wolves v Chelsea - Saturday 15:00

I think Chelsea will be better than they were in midweek. There's a different expectation and they're up against a different quality of team. I think we'll see a different Chelsea this week and if there's a game you want to bounce back, you'd want to be playing one of the bottom three. Chelsea win.

---

Newcastle v Brentford - Saturday 17:30, Live on Sky Sports

Newcastle were poor the last time they were at home against Aston Villa and were punished. This a tough one to call. Not many expected Brentford to beat Aston Villa in the manner they did. With Newcastle back at home with the St James' Park crowd, I'll say Newcastle to win.

However, the noise will get a lot louder if Newcastle don't win this one for both the team and Eddie Howe.

Brighton v Crystal Palace - Sunday 14:00, Live on Sky Sports

They've got a bit of history these two. Palace still find themselves in an uncomfortable situation and can't seem to find any form whatsoever. I'll go for a Brighton home win.

The Strand Larsen of last season can lift Crystal Palace but I'm not sure this season's version can. It's unbelievable amount of money to pay for someone who has one league goal this season. He has to show the form of last season and not this one if he wants to prove himself at Palace.

---

Liverpool v Manchester City - Sunday 16:30, Live on Sky Sports

It could be a cracking game because both teams have been really poor defensively. They both have great players in forward positions, so I think I'll go for a score draw.

Here's my combined XI from both squads this season:

Alisson Becker
Jeremie Frimpong
Virgil van Dijk
Marc Guehi
Andy Robertson
Dominik Szoboszlai
Bernardo Silva
Ryan Gravenberch
Mohammed Salah
Erling Haaland
Hugo Ekitike
