Friday 8pm: Fulham v Wolves

TV: Sky Sports Main Event and Sky Sports Premier League

The Wolves fans are probably wondering where that 3-0 win over Liverpool came from because they’re the joint-lowest scorers in the Premier League along with Everton. They’ve gone 33 games without a striker scoring a goal since Raul Jimenez scored against Watford last March. I just find that astonishing.

They’re away from home, they’re playing against a Fulham team who have taken 19 points since the end of the World Cup. Only Manchester United and Manchester City have won more points than them which is phenomenal.

They’re unbeaten in three in the Premier League, winning two of them, but they’ve not conceded a goal in that time. I don’t know if Aleksandar Mitrovic will play so I’ll go as if he isn’t and I’m going for Fulham to Win and it’s Bobby De Cordova-Reid to Score Anytime.

Saturday 3pm: Leicester v Arsenal

We thought Leicester had turned a corner, and they had a good run of it, but that loss to Manchester United last weekend was their first in four games in all competitions. They’ve conceded 41 goals and only Bournemouth have conceded more so you can see Arsenal scoring in this game.

Jamie Vardy has scored more Premier League goals against Arsenal than any other side and that’s 11. He’s not been playing much of late but will Brendan Rodgers look at that and say, ‘Jamie needs to start this game?’

I think Vardy might start but I do fancy Arsenal to Win. They’ve taken 28 points away from home, seven more than anybody else. They’re good away from home so I’ll go for Arsenal to Win 2-1 and Bukayo Saka to Score at Anytime.

Saturday 5.30pm: Bournemouth v Manchester City

TV: Sky Sports Main Event and Sky Sports Premier League

It’s a good opportunity for Manchester City to get back on track, this. It’s quite amazing, they’ve won only one of their last six away in all competitions and that was against Arsenal.

But City have got a 100% winning record against Bournemouth in the Premier League, that’s 11 out of 11. I do fancy this to be a comfortable City Win.

Erling Haaland looked very, very unhappy against RB Leipzig the other night. The arms were going up in the air, he was getting very angry. I think they’re going to have to start giving him the ball more to keep him happy.

Bournemouth are having a shocking time but they got their first win in eight Premier League games last week against Wolves but they’ve lost nine out of their last 13. I’m going to go for City to Win 3-0 and I’ll have my favourite Erling Haaland to Score Anytime.

Saturday 7.45pm: Crystal Palace v Liverpool

TV: Sky Sports Main Event and Sky Sports Premier League

Crystal Palace have not had a good time of it and they’ve got no win in their last seven Premier League games. Their only win in the last 10 was against Bournemouth and they’ve had no win in five home Premier League games, losing two and drawing three.

Palace will look at this and think, ‘Ohh, we’re playing Liverpool who have just been wounded against Real Madrid.’ But, Liverpool have won the last two in the Premier League without conceding and they’ve lost six of their last 15 away games.

Liverpool have had a 100% winning record when scoring first, though. I’ll back them to bounce back in this and I’ll go for a 3-1 Liverpool Win. I’ll go for Mo Salah to Score Anytime in this. He’s looking back his best and scored against Real Madrid last time out.

Sunday 1.30pm: Tottenham v Chelsea

TV: Sky Sports Main Event and Sky Sports Premier League

This is always a big game and Spurs came up trumps against West Ham the other day but Chelsea have enjoyed this fixture recently. However, you just can’t go with Chelsea for this, I am siding with Spurs to win this quite comfortably.

Chelsea have won just two of their last 14 Premier League games. I think Chelsea fans will be wanting this season over with and to be able to start a fresh next year.

They’ve got no win in five in all competitions and they’ve scored only three goals in their last nine games in all competitions. I think Kai Haverz is their leading goal scorer with five so it’s shocking.

Spurs have won three of their last four in the league, though that 4-1 loss to Leicester was a bad one. They’ve also got the worst defence in the top half with 35 conceded and they’ve scored 44 with only the top two scoring more.

I think that firepower at the top end could be key and I’ll go 2-0 to Spurs. Harry Kane’s been in absolutely superb form. He does have assists in his locker but I fancy Kane to Score Anytime.

Sunday 4.30pm: Manchester United v Newcastle

TV: Sky Sports Main Event and Sky Sports Football

It looks like Newcastle will have to revert to Loris Karius in goal, Nick Pope will be a big miss. He’s been fantastic, better than I thought he was, I must admit. When you’ve got a super-reliable goalkeeper it makes everyone perform little bit better.

But Newcastle have had a problem of late, no win in four Premier League games, drawing three of them. At the top end they’ve not been scoring, they’ve got three goals in their last seven in the league.

They do sill have the best defence in the league, only conceding 15 goals. I don’t think this is going to be a massive goal fest, but I do fancy Manchester United.

They’ve won 15 of their last 19 in all competitions and they did have a big comeback against Barcelona in the Europa League on Thursday night. I’m expecting my good friend Marcus Rashford to Score Anytime. I’m also going for Manchester United to Win 2-0.
