Chelsea v Everton - Saturday 15:00

David Moyes has Everton playing some good football and they're solid.

Chelsea are under pressure so this is really tough to predict. I think Everton will get a result here, so I'll go for a draw.

Alan's Prediction: Draw


Liverpool v Brighton - Saturday 15:00

It's a really tough game for Liverpool. I guess it's easier playing away when you're under pressure because the scrutiny from home crowds is a lot higher. Liverpool have to try and block out all the noise again and it's massive for Liverpool.

They've silenced things for a few days after beating Inter and they have to keep doing that. Whether they can or not is a tough one. I guess Slot's team selection will be similar to Tuesday evening. 

I'll back Liverpool to carry on from their good result in midweek and say Liverpool win.

Alan's Prediction: Liverpool Win


Burnley v Fulham - Saturday 17:30, Live on Sky Sports

Another tough one to predict. Burnley are in poor form. I watched them last week against Newcastle and I know Scott Parker came out to say it was their best performance of the season, but I wouldn't agree with that. I wasn't impressed with them at all. I'll go for a Fulham win.

I thought Burnley would struggle even before a ball was kicked and that's what's happened. It's not a surprise to me where they are in the table - I think they'll be relegated. 

Alan's Prediction: Fulham Win


Arsenal v Wolves - Saturday 20:00, Live on TNT Sports

There hasn't been an uplift at all from Wolves. They have just two points in the league. They don't score any goals and basically, I give them no chance and no hope this weekend and for their survival chances.

Wolves aren't far off being the worst Premier League team in history. I don't see any positive from them this season and I can't see any improvement happening. They tried changing management and there's been no improvement.

Arsenal need a nice, positive win and to get a bit of belief and confidence back - and as I said, if you need one game at home after a defeat, you'd want Wolves.

Alan's Prediction: Arsenal Win


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

Oliver Glasner is doing an amazing job at Palace. They're in European action on Thursday as City were yesterday so this is tough to call.

Anyone who plays Crystal Palace this season know they're in for a tough game. I'll go for a draw because I think Palace will put up a right good fight and I like the way they are.

Alan's Prediction: Draw


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

This is a tough one to call again. The manager bounce when Sean Dyche arrived seems to have stalled a bit, but I think they can come good again on Sunday and I'll go for a Forest win. It'll be tight, but I'll go for Forest to win.

Alan's Prediction: Nottm Forest Win


Sunderland v Newcastle - Sunday 14:00, Live on Sky Sports

As tough as it's going to be, I do think Newcastle will go there and win. Sometimes you're better off flipping a coin because forget about form, who's doing well.. it doesn't matter. It's a derby and we all know what happens. I hope the referee is strong and allows one or two things to go because that adds to the excitement. I'll go for an away win.

I'm looking forward to it. I can't wait.

Alan's Prediction: Newcastle Win


West Ham v Aston Villa - Sunday 14:00, Live on Sky Sports

Because of how Villa played last weekend and the form they're in, I'll go for an away win

West Ham have improved under Nuno and are tougher to play against, but I think Villa will just have too much for them and I'll go for an away win.

Alan's Prediction: Aston Villa Win


Brentford v Leeds - Sunday 16:30, Live on Sky Sports

It's a huge game for both sides. Leeds had a great week against Chelsea and Liverpool. They've got character and are willing to fight but I think it'll be different away from home.

I'll go for a home win and for Brentford to bounce back.

Alan's Prediction: Brentford Win


Man United v Bournemouth - Monday 20:00, Live on Sky Sports

I think Man United will have enough to beat Bournemouth. It'll be tough but at home at Old Trafford I think they can make it two wins in a row, I'll got for a home win. 

Alan's Prediction: Man United Win
