Friday 8pm: Chelsea v Fulham

TV: Sky Sports

Who’s Graham Potter got to pick from? Only about 60 players I would imagine! God, it’s a revolving door. It’s quite incredible, isn’t it? It’s another thing with how he’s going to integrate these guys, not just into the team but into the squad, into the dressing room.

They’re playing Fulham who are having a great season, Marco Silva is doing a great job, but they’ve lost the last two Premier League games and they won four on the trot before then. They don’t want to get into a spiral.

NEW TO PADDY POWER NEWS?

They’ve lost just four of their last 12 Premier League games and they all came against the top five so they’re having a good season. This Chelsea team have won only two of their last 11 and they’ve only scored seven goals.

Kai Havertz is only on five and he’s their leading goal scorer. I’m going for Chelsea to Win this one. I think it will be tight but as they’re at home I’ll go for Chelsea to Win.

I think it’ll be tight, I think Both Teams will Score and I’m expecting Chelsea to Win this 2-1. Kai Havertz, I’m expecting him to be on the scoresheet so Havertz to Score Anytime.

Saturday 5.30pm: Newcastle v West Ham

TV: Sky Sports

St James’ Park will be absolutely rocking after they made it to the Carabao Cup Final. London will be invaded by Geordies like is used to be by the Tartan Army when they’d come down when Scotland played England and I’m delighted for them because it’s been so long.

I think it will be a great final against Manchester United but they’ll be so excited. Will it change the mentality of players, knowing that there’s a cup final approaching? This is a great Newcastle side at the moment and they’re 15 games unbeaten.

However, they’ve drawn 0-0 in three of their last four Premier League games and they have the best defence in the division with only 11 goals conceded. Quite an astonishing run I’m sure you’ll agree.

West Ham have had a difficult time but got their first win in eight Premier League games with that one against Everton. They’ve taken just two points from their last eight away in the Premier League. I think everything is pointing towards this absolutely tremendous Newcastle United side.

I’m going to go for Newcastle to win this relatively comfortably. I’m going for Callum Wilson to Score Anytime. He’s not been at his best of late but I do fancy him to get on the score sheet. I think he’s been very unlucky of late so it’s Callum Wilson to Score Anytime in a 2-0 Newcastle Win.

Sunday 2pm: Nottingham Forest v Leeds

TV: Sky Sports

Nottingham Forest will be disappointed to be on the receiving end of a 5-0 aggregate loss to Manchester United in the Carabao Cup semi finals during the week. It was hard for them but it was a semi final so it’s showing progress and they’ve been moving up in the league.

They’re unbeaten in four Premier League matches and have lost just two of their last 10 in the Premier League and they were against Arsenal and Manchester United. They’re unbeaten in six home Premier League games so it’s all going in Forest’s favour.

Leeds have no win in six in the Premier League and they’ve won only two of their last 16. I don’t think it’s going to be a goal fest but I’ve got Forest to Win this. I’ve gone 1-0 to Forest and I’ve got Chris Wood, an Ex-Leeds player, to Score First.

Sunday 4.30pm: Tottenham v Manchester City

TV: Sky Sports

I do expect a few goals in this one. I’ve gone for quite a few as Tottenham have got the worst defence in the top 12 with 31 goals conceded. They’ve scored 40 and only the top two have scored more than them.

This is the big statistic for me; they’ve conceded two or more goals in nine of their last 11 Premier League games. That’s shipping a lot of goals. They’ve lost four of the last five home Premier League games so they’re a bit nervous in front of their own fans.

Manchester City are the top scorers with 53 goals and they’ve scored in 28 of their last 29 Premier League games. I’m going for Manchester City to Win this one and I think there’ll be a few goals in it.

Erling Haaland’s done me proud all season. I’m going for Manchester City to Win this 3-1 and I’ll go for Haaland to Score Anytime again. He keeps racking up the pounds for me!
