Liverpool return to top spot after Chelsea hold Manchester City: Premier League predictions

A look at the weekend's action in the English top flight with Manchester United, Arsenal and Wolverhampton Wanderers all predicted to triumph

• 

  Fulham 1 Manchester United 4. Saturday, 4.30pm UAE time. United are flying under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and are in terrific form. Fulham's defence, which has struggled all season, will be overwhelmed by Marcus Rashford, pictured, Paul Pogba and Jesse Lingard. Reuters

  Crystal Palace 2 West Ham United 1. Saturday, 7pm. Both sides are inconsistent and are missing a regular goalscorer. But with Wilfried Zaha, pictured, back from suspension he could be the difference maker in this London derby. Action Images via Reuters

  Huddersfield Town 0 Arsenal 4. Saturday, 7pm. Huddersfield, for all their grit and effort, are a side clearly going down and this should be a case of how many Arsenal win by with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, pictured, and Alexandre Lacazette leading the line. EPA

• 

  Liverpool 3 Bournemouth 1. Saturday, 7pm. Liverpool have drawn their past two games but they can get back to winning ways here. Bournemouth will cause them trouble but Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah, pictured, should find plenty of space in the visiting side's backline. Getty

  Southampton 2 Cardiff City 0. Saturday, 7pm. Ralph Hasenhuttl, pictured, has improved things considerably for the Saints since taking over from Mark Hughes. They are unbeaten in their last seven games in all competitions and they should win here to move themselves clear of the bottom three. PA via AP

  Watford 1 Everton 1. Saturday, 7pm. On paper this should be a tepid encounter between two sides set for respectable mid-table finishes. But this is Marco Silva's, pictured, first time back at Vicarage Road since his acrimonious firing from his former employers 13 months ago. Expect a hot crowd but honours to end even.

  Brighton & Hove Albion 1 Burnley 1, Saturday, 9.30pm. Burnley have raised their game in recent weeks but Brighton are hard to beat at home. This cries stalemate with Burnley worth a point as the in-form Chris Wood, pictured, strikes again. Reuters

• 

  Tottenham Hotspur 2 Leicester City 1, Sunday, 5.30pm. Tottenham have injuries galore but they should still get the three points with Son Heung-min, pictured, having netted in both games since his return from South Korea's disappointing campaign at the Asian Cup in the UAE. EPA

• 

  Manchester City 1 Chelsea 1, Sunday, 8pm. Man City are back on top of the table but they were not convincing in beating Everton in midweek. Chelsea know how to beat City, having done it in December, and with Gonzalo Higuain, pictured, already among the goals since his loan move, he and Eden Hazard can surprise their hosts and earn a share of the spoils.

• 

  Wolverhampton Wanderers 2 Newcastle United 0, Tuesday 12am. Wolves can make it four league wins in a row here. They are flying at present and can cement seventh place in the table, with Raul Jimenez, pictured right, and Ruben Neves both in great form. Reuters

It feels like we had only got back to action and yet this is the last Premier League action for two weeks with the FA Cup taking prominence again next weekend.

Things start on Saturday at 4.30pm UAE time with Manchester United looking to maintain their excellent form at struggling Fulham.

There are five games at 7pm with Liverpool looking to go back top, at least for 24 hours, when they host Bournemouth at Anfield.

Brighton and Hove Albion's home game with Burnley is the late game at 9.30pm.

On Sunday, Tottenham Hotspur look to keep themselves in the title picture at home to Leicester City at 5.30pm, with current leaders Manchester City up against Chelsea at 8pm.

Wolverhampton Wanderers go for a fourth successive victory at 12am on Tuesday when they host Newcastle United.
