Saturday 3pm: Arsenal v Bournemouth

I think this will be quite comfortable for Arsenal. Bournemouth will be worried about this game, they’ve lost 10 of their last 14 Premier League games. They’ve got the worst defence in the league conceding 48 and they’ve scored only four in their last nine in the league.

I don’t see Bournemouth scoring and, being kind to them, I fancy Arsenal to Win this 3-0. I’m going for Bukayo Saka to Score Anytime and Gabriel Martinelli to Score Anytime, he got a couple in the week against Everton.

Saturday 5.30pm: Southampton v Leicester

TV: Sky Sports Main Event and Sky Sports Premier League

Leicester did have a little bit of a decent spell recently but losing to Blackburn in the FA Cup will be so disappointing for Brendan Rodgers. Reading his comments in the paper, he was absolutely desperate and he didn’t hold back.

They’ve now lost their last three games and they’ve only won two of their last nine. But what do we make of Southampton? It’s just bewildering! Losing against Grimsby, a League Two club, in the FA Cup was absolutely shocking.

They’ve lost 10 of the last 12 in the Premier League. I’m going to go for Leicester to Win this but it will just be a narrow victory. I’m going for Kelechi Iheanacho to Score Anytime, he’s up for player of the month at the moment and is in great form.

Sunday 2pm: Nottingham Forest v Everton

TV: Sky Sports Premier League

Nottingham Forest will fancy their chances in this one and, what you’ve got to understand is, their six Premier League wins this season have all been 1-0 so they can keep a clean sheet. However, they’ve taken just one point from their last three games.

But, at home, they’re unbeaten in eight Premier League games. As they’re at the City Ground I think this will go in Nottingham Forest’s favour. I don’t think it’s going to be a great game, though.

Everton have lost their last two games without scoring, that’s no surprise. They’ve not won any of their last eight Premier League games against newly-promoted sides so it doesn’t look good for Everton.

I’m going for Nottingham Forest to Win 1-0 and for Chris Wood to Score First and get the only goal of the game. I think he’ll have a big impact, he’ll try and bully the Everton centre backs.

Sunday 4.30pm: Liverpool v Manchester United

TV: Sky Sports Main Event and Sky Sports Premier League

Manchester United are coming to Liverpool, probably for the first time for many years, really fancying their chances. They’ll be coming in heads up, shoulders back with everybody up for this and so they should.

Erik ten Hag’s done a wonderful job, they’ve won 18 of their last 22 in all competitions and they’ve scored two or more in their last 12 games in all competitions. I do think there’s going to be a lot of goals in this, I really do.

Liverpool now have clean sheets in their last four league games, I’m not sure that will be the case on Sunday! Mo Salah has scored nine in his last five games against Manchester United in all competitions. There’s some omens there.

I went for this scoreline and got it right in the recent Arsenal v Manchester United game, I’m going for 3-2 to Liverpool. I think there’ll be loads of goals in it. It’s the usual suspects, Mo Salah to Score Anytime and Marcus Rashford to Score Anytime as well.

Monday 8pm: Brentford v Fulham

TV: Sky Sports Main Event and Sky Sports Premier League

Fulham and Brentford have both had a really good seasons. Brentford are unbeaten in their last 12 Premier League games which is their best-ever run.

They’ve conceded just three in their last seven Premier League games and are unbeaten in eight in the league. I’m finding it hard to split these two.

We’ve had some feature games this weekend with poor teams in action but Fulham are unbeaten in their last seven so are on a great run themselves. I watched them against Leeds in midweek. I thought Leeds were a bit unfortunate but Fulham are on one of those runs.

I can’t separate these two and I do expect a few goals. I’ll go for a high-scoring draw, 2-2. Two big forwards involved in this one so I’ll take Ivan Toney to Score Anytime and Aleksandar Mitrovic to Score Anytime also.
