Game of the Weekend
EFL Cup Final
Liverpool v Newcastle - Sunday 16:30
Newcastle need to deny Liverpool any space, play like they did against them at St James' Park when it ended 3-3. That was great. Two teams going head-to-head. Hopefully Isak gets the better of Van Dijk. That's a crucial battle between two players who are having a wonderful season.
Newcastle's big players have to turn up and if they do, they can win it. There's no doubt about it.
Alan's prediction: Newcastle to lift the trophy
Remaining Fixtures
Everton v West Ham - Saturday 15:00
I'm going for an Everton win. Newcastle got a win against West Ham and I was pretty disappointed with how flat they were. They didn't create much and I wasn't impressed with them.
Alan's prediction: Everton to Win
Ipswich v Nottingham Forest - Saturday 15:00
I think this will be an away win for Forest given the form that they're in - they were so impressive beating Man City last week. Forest have got some very impressive players and the manager is doing a great job - this will be an away win.
Alan's prediction: Nottm Forest to Win
Manchester City v Brighton - Saturday 15:00
I think that Man City, with the disappointment of last weekend and being at home where they've always been so strong, they will win.
Brighton are a very good side, having a good season, but I think that City will be too strong in this one. I think they'll have enough, it will be a tight game though.
Alan's prediction: Man City to Win
Southampton v Wolves - Saturday 15:00
Wolves are without Matheus Cunha again, but Southampton are having a dreadful season and they're already relegated for me.
Alan's prediction: Wolves to Win
Bournemouth v Brentford - Saturday 17:30
Bournemouth are having a brilliant season, the race for the top five is really hotting up, so I think they will win at home this weekend.
Alan's prediction: Bournemouth to Win
Arsenal v Chelsea - Sunday 13:30
It's a tough one to call. Arsenal weren't really pushed in the midweek and rested a lot of players - rightly so - and got a great draw against PSV at home. Despite that, I'm going to go for a draw in this one.
Alan's prediction: Draw
Fulham v Tottenham - Sunday 13:30
Spurs played in the Europa League on Thursday evening and it will have taken a lot out of them so I think it will be a home win for Fulham.
Alan's prediction: Fulham to Win
Leicester v Manchester United - Sunday 19:00
There are shoots of improvement at Manchester United, for that reason I'm going to say they'll win because Leicester have been really poor.
