17:30 – Leicester v Man City

It really is a super Saturday of football to look forward to and this game being one of the highlights. Leicester are looking to become only the fourth ever side to do the double over Pep Guardiolas side, which would be some achievement.

Jamie Vardy has a great goalscoring record against City. Two of his three hattricks have actually come against Man City also. City for their part have had 27 clean sheets in all competitions, which is staggering really.

THOMMO’S TIPS: This is a tough one to call, but I’ll side with Man City here. Man City to win 2-1 on the correct score. I think both teams will score however. I also fancy Gabriel Jesus and Jamie Vardy both to score anytime. 

20:00 – Arsenal v liverpool

A game with fantastic tradition going down through the years. This could be the fixture in the Premier League with the most goals scored between both sides. Some incredible players have graced this game and I expect plenty of goals in this one.

Liverpool have only managed two away wins out of 20 against Arsenal which isn’t a great record going into this one for Jurgen Klopp’s men. Liverpool seem to have gotten their act together recently after a very shaky period, along with mounting injuries.

THOMMO’S TIPS: I’m going to go for goals in this one, due to the history of the two sides. Alexandre Lacazette to find the net for me in 90 minutes. I’m also going for 3-2 liverpool win
