• Chelsea v West Brom: The way Jose Mourinho’s Chelsea are playing, it is hard to see them having much trouble seeing off West Brom at home. The visitors have had some decent performances defensively this season and their best hope is to keep it to 0-0 at half time and hope Chelsea get frustrated. PREDICTION: 2-0 (Photo: Glyn Kirk / AFP)

  • Everton v West Ham: Both sides are on unbeaten runs (5 games for West Ham and 4 for Everton), Sam Allardyce’s visitors have won more away games (2) than Everton have won home games (1). It’s a tough one to call but with Diafra Sakho, West Ham’s top scorer a doubt, Everton have the advantage. PREDICTION: 2-1 (Photo: Gareth Copley / Getty Images)

  • MONDAY: Aston Villa v Southampton: Villa have dropped like a stone down the table. From three wins in their first four games, they have now lost six of their last seven, scoring just once. Southampton could make this a rout. PREDICTION: 0-2 (Photo: Richard Heathcote / Getty Images)

  • Hull City v Tottenham Hotspur: Spurs have a decent recent record at Hull. They are unbeaten in the Premier League era and have won two of three, including a 5-1 triumph in 2009. Recent form for both sides is poor and this could be a tight affair. 0-0 (Photo: David Rogers / Getty Images)

  • Manchester City v Swansea City: Ordinarily, you’d call this as a straightforward home win, but City have been jittery lately while Swansea are only three points behind them in the table. Wilfried Bony, pictured, who has just signed a new contract, is possibly the most powerful striker in the league and will cause any defence problems. City to scrape a win.

  • SUNDAY: Crystal Palace v Liverpool: Liverpool revisit one of the grounds where they let the Premier League title slip last season when they threw away a three-goal lead. The difference this time is that Palace are far less effective without Tony Pulis as manager and their defence is far easier to breach. PREDICTION: 0-2 (Photo: Peter Powell / EPA)

  • Stoke City v Burnley: Another side with an awful away record, Burnley have only managed two goals on the road this season (no surprises that they haven’t won a game). Stoke will power past them. PREDICTION: 2-0 (Photo: Laurence Griffiths / Getty Images)

  • Leicester City v Sunderland: It’s about time we saw Leicester play to the level they produced in defeating Manchester United earlier in the season. They have lost five out of the last six games, but Sunderland at home is just the match-up they need to get back on track. PREDICTION: 1-0 (Photo: Andrew Yates / Getty Images)

  • Newcastle v Queens Park Rangers: Newcastle have won four games in a row, while QPR have lost all five away games this season, scoring just twice. Owner Tony Fernandes is happy with the way they have played recently, but they still have just one win in eight and look like relegation certainties.
