• Hull City v West Bromwich Albion: So condensed is the table after 14 games that a win could take either side 12th, but a loss or draw and both could be in the bottom three by the end of the weekend. It will probably be a tight game. PREDICTION: Draw, 1-1. (Photo: Paul Ellis / AFP)

  • Liverpool v Sunderland: Liverpool found some form against Leicester in midweek, winning 3-1, and Sunderland don’t travel well. Should be a comfortable home win. PREDICTION: Liverpool, 2-0. (Photo: Adrian Dennis / AFP)

  • Queens Park Rangers v Burnley: Another bottom-off-the-table clash, with the winner likely to jump up the table. QPR have played well at home recently, and on-form striker Charlie Austin will be pumped up against his former club. PREDICTION: QPR, 2-0. (Photo: Michael Steele / Getty Images)

  • Stoke City v Arsenal: Arsenal have an indifferent record at Stoke, who played very well on Tuesday at Old Trafford and were unlucky to lose. Dropped points on the cards for the Gunners. PREDICTION: Draw, 0-0. (Photo: Andy Rain / EPA)

  • Tottenham Hotspur v Crystal Palace: Spurs are unpredictable, but if they have top-four aspirations then this is the sort of game they need to win. As it is Spurs, you could easily see any result from a 5-0 win to a home defeat. I'm going for Tottenham. PREDICTION: Tottenham, 1-0. (Photo: Facundo Arrizabalaga / EPA)

  • Manchester City v Everton: As long as Sergio Aguero keeps playing the way he is, City will keep winning as they chase Chelsea at the top. Everton are tough to break down, but City are too good for them. PREDICTION: City, 2-0. (Photo: Mike Hewitt / Getty Images)

  • West Ham United v Swansea City: West Ham impressed coming back from a goal to beat West Brom on Tuesday, but Swansea are motoring right now and playing some fine football. PREDICTION: Swanse, 2-1. (Photo: Stu Forster / Getty images)

  • Aston Villa v Leicester City: This Midlands derby is likely to be tight but Christian Benteke, who could be one of the league’s best strikers, will be the decisive factor. PREDICTION: Villa, 1-0 (Photo: Andrew Winning / Reuters)

  • Southampton v Manchester United: Southampton are so far failing their test against fellow Champions League contenders, having lost against Manchester City and Arsenal in their last two games. This match is the most winnable, despite United’s run of form, but Louis van Gaal’s side improved defensively. PREDICTION: Draw, 0-0. (Photo: Andy Rain / EPA)
