• Manchester City v Crystal Palace: Manuel Pellegrini's men have dropped just five points from the previous 30 and are sure to add three more to their overall tally as they look to maintain their title chase, especially with Chelsea showing signs of a possible wobble.

  • Hull City v Swansea City: Steve Bruce's side have suffered their unfair share of bad luck in recent weeks and are without a win in nine games. That won't change against a Swansea side who looked hungry against Spurs last week. Wilfried Bony is a good bet to bag at least a double. PREDICTION: Swansea, 2-1.

  • Queens Park Rangers v West Bromwich Albion: West Brom have slid down the table in recent weeks, but more due to a difficult run of games than any real loss in form. QPR, meanwhile, remain as inconsistent as a flip-flopping politician. The visitors will be too good and snatch a crucial away win. PREDICTION: West Brom, 2-1. (Photo: Jan Kruger / Getty Images)

  • Southampton v Everton: Ronald Koeman's side are in free fall, epitomised by their shock defeat to Sheffield United in the League Cup. This has the potential to be the game of the weekend, but will ultimately end with Everton adding to Southampton's woes. PREDICTION: Everton, 3-1. (Photo: Alex Livesey / Getty Images)

  • Tottenham Hotspur v Burnley: Tottenham's home form remains a concern for Mauricio Pochettino, despite their dominant 4-0 win over Newcastle United in the League Cup. Burnley, off the back of an important win over Southampton last week, will defend resolutely and make it difficult for Spurs to break them down. PREDICTION: Draw, 1-1. (Photo: Glyn Kirk / AFP)

  • West Ham United v Leicester City: West Ham fans will be having nose bleeds as they approach the hectic Christmas period inside the Champions League positions. Against bottom-placed Leicester, they will see this weekend as a massive opportunity to improve their goal difference. But football rarely works that way. PREDICTION: West Ham, 1-0.

  • Newcastle United v Sunderland: Newcastle are ravaged by injuries while their northeast neighbours are without a win in six games. The Tyne and Wear derby has a habit of throwing up some shock results and this could be another. Sunderland could be about to lump unsustainable pressure on Alan Pardew. PREDICTION: Sunderland, 4-1.

  • Liverpool v Arsenal: Sunday's match has all the ingredients of a thriller: poor defenders, quick and clinical attackers, dodgy form and questionable tacklers. Expect a red card, several goals and a share of the spoils. PREDICTION: Draw, 3-3. (Photo: Alex Livesey / Getty Images)

  • Stoke City v Chelsea: Can the likes of Eden Hazard and Cesc Fabregas do it on a cold Monday night in Stoke? On recent form the answer is not so certain. Mourinho will have his team set up for a battle, but Mark Hughes' side might just sneak a point. PREDICTION: Draw, 1-1. (Photo: Rui Vieira / AP)
