Burnley v Bournemouth - Saturday, 15:00

I don't have any belief in Burnley and the way Bournemouth are going on, I'm going to say an away win.

Alan's Prediction: Bournemouth Win


Sunderland v Brighton - Saturday 15:00

Sunderland at home, one week ahead of the derby game against Newcastle. I think they'll be tough to beat.

I think Granit Xhaka can maybe be back as well, so I'm going to say Sunderland, tight home win.

They were poor last weekend and it was a great result for Port Vale. They'll be looking to bounce back at home after the FA Cup, and for the most part this season in the Premier League, they've more than held their own.

Alan's Prediction: Sunderland Win


Arsenal v Everton - Saturday 17:30, Live on Sky Sports

It was a bit of a poor result for Arsenal in midweek, but Everton going to Arsenal will be a step too far.

I think Arsenal will win, but it will be difficult because of how very good Everton are away from home and how their style of play suits them.

Alan's Prediction: Arsenal Win


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

Two teams that have been in the Champions League this week and will be again next week. I'm sure you'll see changes to the starting eleven for both. I'm not confident either way, so I'll go for a draw.

Alan's Prediction: Draw


West Ham v Man City - Saturday 20:00, Live on TNT Sports

City have to go pretty faultless from now till the end of the season if they want to win the league. There was a massive shock in midweek getting beaten by Real Madrid, especially in the way they did.

But Pep will change it up, and it shouldn't really affect them because who comes in are really talented players. West Ham have made a right fist of it - six weeks ago they were dead and buried. You have to give Nuno real credit for at least making a fight of it, but I think Man City will have too much for them.

Alan's Prediction: Man City Win


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

Leeds have been dragged into the relegation battle again after their last game against Sunderland - a poor result at home. Crystal Palace are up and down, and it seems to be a bit chaotic at their club. I'm going to go draw.

Alan's Prediction: Draw


Man United v Aston Villa - Sunday 14:00, Live on Sky Sports

Villa seem to be in freefall, but Man United were really poor at Newcastle, even against ten men.

It's tough to call because Villa have to bounce back, but I'm going to go for a Man United home win because they'll have a free week to prepare, whereas Aston Villa have an away game in Europe.

Alan's Prediction: Man United


Nottm Forest v Fulham - Sunday 14:00, Live on Sky Sports

Tough one. I'm seeing little bits of improvement in Forest. I can't understand why Fulham made so many changes in their FA Cup when they're basically safe, but they will come back and change the team completely again. I think they have to bounce back, so Fulham away win.

Alan's Prediction: Fulham Win


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

I have no confidence whatsoever in Spurs, so Liverpool home win. It could be messy. Anything could happen at Anfield, if Liverpool score early, then Spurs could capitulate.

The size of the game for Tottenham, I know Liverpool have got a huge game against Galatasaray which they have to get through and win, but the magnitude of this for Tottenham is incredible.

I have no belief or confidence that they'll go there and win.

Alan's Prediction: Liverpool Win


Brentford v Wolves - Monday 20:00, Live on Sky Sports

Brentford home win. I saw Wolves a couple of times away from home, and I think Brentford will just overpower them.

Alan's Prediction: Brentford Win
