Bournemouth person sewage an fantabulous grounds against Manchester United, who haven't beaten them location aliases distant successful immoderate of their past 5 attempts.

United do look for illustration a different squad nether Michael Carrick, and they person sewage immoderate momentum arsenic good arsenic a Champions League spot successful their sights.

But while Bournemouth utilized to beryllium a squad who I ever fancied to score, and could beryllium rather open, precocious they person go a batch tighter astatine nan back.

The Cherries person drawn their past 4 games, pinch 3 of those matches ending goalless, and nan different 1 finishing 1-1.

They person now drawn 14 of their 30 convention games this play - including a 4-4 thriller erstwhile these sides met astatine Old Trafford successful December - and this smells of different tie to me.

Sutton's prediction: 1-1

Amari's prediction: United person picked up a bit. 1-3

Genesis' prediction: Another tie for Bournemouth. 1-1

AI's prediction: 1-2

Brighton person deed a spot of shape but really do you cognize what to expect from Liverpool astatine nan moment? They are truthful up and down - will they move up this week?

Liverpool's standout subordinate this play has been Dominik Szoboszlai, and they are astir apt looking to him to do thing typical again here.

I've mentioned earlier really Brighton fans are not having Fabian Hurzeler, truthful this tally of bully results arsenic head - they person won 3 of their past 4 games - has travel astatine a bully time.

I was astatine Anfield successful December erstwhile Liverpool won 2-0 and Brighton should person sewage thing retired of that game. This time, Brighton will hit them.

Amari's prediction: Brighton are 1 of those teams that tin astonishment you. I conscionable person a emotion they are going to triumph this. 2-1

Genesis' prediction: Brighton mightiness return nan lead but I deliberation Liverpool will bring it back. 1-2

AI's prediction: 1-2

Fair play to Clarets leader Scott Parker. His broadside are going to spell down, but they person remained competitory complete nan past fewer weeks and shown they are tin of getting thing successful matches whether they are location aliases away.

I don't spot them getting thing here, however. Fulham's shape is patchy but I've seen capable of them this play to cognize they are a bully squad connected their day, erstwhile they click.

Marco Silva's broadside are a squad I ever look to get incorrect erstwhile I make my predictions but if they play nan measurement they can, they will win.

Sutton's prediction: 2-0

Amari's prediction: Fulham are different squad who are very up and down. After watching them against Forest past week, I deliberation they are going to prime up again. 2-0

Genesis' prediction: Fulham will beryllium excessively strong. 2-0

AI's prediction: 2-0

I was astatine Chelsea's conclusion by Newcastle past play and they did not connection capable successful nan last third.

I besides request to mention their pre-match huddle earlier that crippled too. Deary me. I for illustration Blues leader Liam Rosenior but what was he talking astir erstwhile he said his players were location to "respect nan ball"?

It's nonsense. What are they going to respect next, nan area flag?

As for this game, good it will beryllium close. Everton pushed Arsenal each nan measurement past clip out, but couldn't rather bent on.

I deliberation this has turned into a large crippled for Rosenior's early now, because he needs a beardown extremity to nan play successful nan Premier League to suffice for adjacent season's Champions League.

Chelsea person sewage immoderate value players, of course, and I americium besides still not judge astir Everton astatine their caller ground, moreover though they hit Burnley successful their erstwhile location game.

I want to beryllium brave here, and prime a victor because I americium expecting some teams to spell for it... but alternatively I americium going to spell for a draw.

Sutton's prediction: 1-1

Amari's prediction: I was watching Everton against Arsenal, hoping they would clasp on, but they didn't rather negociate it. Chelsea person had a bad week but they will bounce backmost here. 1-3

Genesis' prediction: Chelsea will score, but Everton will return nan win. 3-1

AI's prediction: 1-2

The measurement Brentford will group up is almost tailor-made to look Leeds, really, to deed them connected nan counter-attack.

Keith Andrews's broadside are pushing for Europe and they will beryllium irritated they fto a 2-0 lead gaffe successful their 2-2 tie pinch Wolves connected Monday.

There could beryllium immoderate nervy moments for nan location fans erstwhile nan Bees break forward, but I americium still going to backmost Leeds to get nan occupation done astatine Elland Road.

Sutton's prediction: 2-1

Amari's prediction: This is simply a large crippled for Spurs too! On a bully day, Brentford play very well... and I deliberation this is going to beryllium 1 of their bully days. 0-3

Genesis' prediction: Leeds are nan underdogs here, right? I emotion an underdog, and I deliberation they will get a draw. 1-1

AI's prediction: 1-1

I was astatine Nou Camp connected Wednesday and though nan wheels came disconnected spectacularly successful nan 2nd half, nan communicative of nan necktie is that for one-and-a-half legs, Newcastle competed really good against Barcelona.

Even so, that conclusion leaves Magpies leader Eddie Howe successful a akin business to Liam Rosenior astatine Chelsea, wherever it is important that he is has a beardown extremity to nan Premier League play to soundlessness each his doubters.

I still deliberation we person seen capable from Newcastle complete nan people of this run for Howe's occupation to beryllium safe.

The glaring point for maine against Barca came aft nan game, watching their unused substitutes doing their moving drills.

Two of nan subs were their large summertime attacking signings, Yoane Wissa and Nick Woltemade. The truth they had a immense European necktie and neither sewage connected nan transportation summed up their effect this season.

So, I person monolithic sympathy for Howe astir that, and really overmuch losing apical scorer Alexander Isak past summertime has affected his team.

This is simply a monolithic crippled for Newcastle, because they person sewage to prime themselves up and spell again, against their biggest rivals.

If they suffer this too, you cognize group are going to deed Howe pinch that instrumentality that he is is not nan correct man to return nan nine forward.

They mislaid astatine Stadium of Light earlier Christmas, erstwhile Woltemade scored an ain goal, truthful they simply cannot fto nan Black Cats do nan double complete them.

Sunderland's shape has dropped disconnected successful nan past fewer weeks and it does look for illustration they are fizzling out, but nan mobility is whether Newcastle tin find nan power to spot them off. I deliberation they will.

Sutton's prediction: 2-0

Amari's prediction: There will beryllium immoderate goals successful this one! 2-2

Genesis' prediction: This will beryllium spicy! I'm giving it to Newcastle. 2-1

AI's prediction: 2-1

Aston Villa person mislaid their past 3 Premier League games, while West Ham are showing plentifulness of resilience and person been picking up points.

Morgan Rogers scored a mates of crackers erstwhile Villa fought backmost to hit nan Hammers earlier successful nan season, and this is going to beryllium conscionable arsenic close.

Villa leader Unai Emery is cutting a disappointment fig astatine nan infinitesimal pinch their nonaccomplishment of form, but they are still successful 4th place.

They are going to get backmost connected way astatine immoderate constituent and, if they tin support Jarrod Bowen quiet, past I spot them edging this 1 astatine home.

Sutton's prediction: 2-1

Amari's prediction: West Ham person improved but Villa being astatine location gives maine a spot much assurance successful them. 1-0

Genesis' prediction: I consciousness for illustration these 2 teams play each different a lot, but that mightiness conscionable beryllium my warped mind! 2-1

AI's prediction: 1-1

People person been panning Tottenham leader Igor Tudor but they will look upon him successful a different ray if his broadside triumph this game.

Maybe he conscionable needs to place nan opposition's threat a small spot amended than he does opposing managers - that clip of him mistaking personification other for Arne Slot astatine Anfield past week did make maine chuckle.

Nottingham Forest's rumor is that they don't people capable goals, and that deficiency of attacking threat mightiness conscionable costs them here.

I cognize I support mentioning it, but Forest head Vitor Pereira has still not won a Premier League crippled each season, aft 12 attempts pinch Wolves and Forest.

I don't deliberation he will triumph this week, either, though this is going to beryllium an highly tight game.

Spurs' first purpose will beryllium to debar immoderate calamities for illustration their reddish paper against Crystal Palace successful their erstwhile location convention game.

They person a fewer injuries, but they still person a adjacent spot of value successful their team.

Tottenham besides person a spot of positivity and momentum aft Wednesday's location triumph complete Atletico Madrid, moreover though it wasn't capable to move astir their Champions League tie. Now they request to build connected that.

Sutton's prediction: 1-0

Amari's prediction: If we play for illustration we did against Liverpool and we get immoderate players backmost from wounded too, past we tin do this. Forest person sewage immoderate bully players but we conscionable request to get a result, it doesn't matter how. 3-2

Amari connected why he supports Spurs, and his favourite players: It's down to my dada - each azygous personification connected my dad's broadside is simply a Spurs fan. When I was kid, my heroes were Gareth Bale and past Dele Alli - erstwhile he first came to us, he was incredible.

Amari connected whether Spurs will enactment up aliases not? It's been specified a frustrating clip because I don't cognize what's been going wrong. We tin opportunity it's because of injuries but each squad has those. We person been missing tons of players, but we still person a bully squad.

I've been stressed astir it before, but I americium not stressed astir it correct now. If we are still successful this business pinch 3 games near past it is different, we mightiness beryllium going down. Now? I do judge we tin get retired of this.

Genesis' prediction: I americium going to springiness you a unusual 1 present - I deliberation Forest will astonishment people. 1-3

AI's prediction: 2-1

I don't deliberation this crippled has immoderate base connected nan Premier League title race.

The communicative that has been doing nan rounds for a agelong clip is that whoever wins this crippled wins nan title, but that is not nan lawsuit now - City are not catching Arsenal immoderate happens astatine Wembley.

City are retired of nan Champions League now but I person sewage to opportunity I thought they were superb connected Tuesday against Real Madrid, earlier and aft they went down to 10 men.

They went for it and they were not conscionable brave, they created plentifulness of chances.

With nan quality of nan Premier League this season, I deliberation this will beryllium a very different game, however.

I fearfulness this will beryllium a really disfigured and dull encounter, wherever some teams debar taking risks.

Sutton's prediction: 0-0 aft other time, City to triumph connected penalties

Amari's prediction: I deliberation City successful a last are a different squad to nan 1 we've seen successful nan past fewer weeks. It will beryllium adjacent though. 1-2

Genesis' prediction: Come connected nan Gunners! It's going to happen, we are going to win. 2-1

Genesis connected why she's ever been an Arsenal fan: I will watch each men's World Cup for sure, and nan women's tournaments too, but I americium ever a Gunner - you can't swipe that off!

AI's prediction: 2-1

Chris sewage 4 correct results from nan 10 games successful week 30, pinch 1 nonstop score, for a full of 70 points.

That saw him necktie for nan play triumph pinch nan BBC readers who, collectively, ended up pinch precisely nan aforesaid tally.

Chris and nan readers moreover picked up points successful nan aforesaid fixtures - including an nonstop people for Arsenal's 2-0 triumph complete Everton - and you also, wrongly, some went for a 2-1 Brentford triumph complete Wolves successful nan last crippled of nan weekend, ensuring that crippled would not supply an outright winner.

AI still had hopes of triumph going into Monday's match, and would person snatched nan play triumph if nan last people had been 1-1, not 2-2. It ended up pinch six correct results pinch nary nonstop scores, leaving it connected 60 points.

Chris's guest, Angry Ginge, was ne'er successful nan running, however. He managed only 1 correct consequence - though astatine slightest he was correct astir his team, Manchester United, beating Villa - and nary nonstop scores.

That intends he joins Picture Parlour's Katherine Parlour astatine nan bottommost of nan impermanent leaderboard, connected 10 points.
