BOURNEMOUTH vs NOTTINGHAM FOREST (1500)
On paper a dull fixture, but more likely to be a compelling one between two sides that have totally surpassed expectations so far this season. Between them, they’ve put together eight wins and four draws in their last six outings. Hard to predict the outcome with each possible outcome a realistic possibility. Draw.
BRIGHTON & HOVE ALBION vs EVERTON (1500)
Two consecutive wins for the hosts after a series of painful draws. What would the Toffees give for that? Home win.
LIVERPOOL vs IPSWICH (1500)
Was there ever a more certain certainty? Home win.
SOUTHAMPTON vs NEWCASTLE UNITED (1500)
Speaking of certainties, here’s another one. Probably. Away win.
WOLVERHAMPTON WANDERERS vs ARSENAL (1500)
The Arse are snapping at Pool’s posterior while well aware of Forest snapping – albeit more vigorously – at theirs. Away win.
MANCHESTER CITY vs CHELSEA (1730)
Chelsea come into this on the back of some poor form. City, well they don’t fill their fans with optimism. Could and should be a cracker. Draw.
SUNDAY
CRYSTAL PALACE vs BRENTFORD (1400)
You can fit a Rizla between these two, but not much else. Still, the Bees stand out, just. Away win.
TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR vs LEICESTER CITY (1400)
A relegation six-pointer? Hmm, maybe. Either way, fun to contemplate. In their last six league games, the two sides have accumulated a combined total of one point. That’s 35 points dropped from their possible last combined of 36. Let that sink in. Home win.
ASTON VILLA vs WEST HAM UNITED (1630)
Not a-bloody-gain? Yep, fraid so. See if we can get something from this today. Confident? Hardly. Draw.
FULHAM vs MANCHESTER UNITED (1900)
Another fixture to make you smile. Unless you are of the red persuasion, in which case you’re likely to be even redder at the end of this. Home win.
BOU vs NFO
BHA vs EVE
LIV vs IPS
SOU vs NEW
WOL vs ARS
MCY vs CHE
CRY vs BRE
TOT vs LEI
AST vs WHU
FUL vs MNU
