Saturday 3pm: Brentford v Nottingham Forest

Not many teams beat Brighton. They were so unlucky against Manchester United in the FA Cup semi final but that was a massive win for Nottingham Forest, especially after going behind in the game.

That was Forest’s fist win in 12 Premier League games so that tells you where they’re at. Brentford, what a great season they’ve had. Absolutely terrific.

Great result beating Chelsea 2-0, but it was their first win in seven Premier League games and it was their first clean sheet in 10. Forest had a right go at Anfield but I think Brentford, it doesn’t matter what game it is, they always turn up.

I’m going for Brentford to Win this one 2-0. I know he’s always short price but you’ve got to have Ivan Toney to Score Anytime.

Sunday 2pm: Fulham v Manchester City

TV: Sky Sports

Fulham have proved to be a thorn in a lot of sides this season. They’ve played very, very well. I don’t think they’re as strong without Aleksandar Mitrovic but Manchester City, what a team.

They’re on one of those runs now where they’re like a steam roller and they were quite astonishing against Arsenal. At 3-1 the other night I did think my 3-2 prediction was going to come up trumps but Erling Haaland had other ideas.

Fulham, they lost against Aston Villa 1-0 which is no great shame, Villa are playing very well. They’ve won just one of their last seven Premier League games and have no clean sheet in eight. That doesn’t look good when you’re coming up against Man City.

I do think Fulham will score so I’m going to go for Manchester City to win 3-1. Haaland just wants to rack up as many goals as he can. He’ll be saying to Pep, ‘I want to start, I don’t feel tired’. It’s Haaland to Score Anytime.

Monday 8pm: Leicester v Everton

TV: Sky Sports

Leicester, what is happening with them? They drew with Leeds through a late Jamie Vardy goal the other night. Maybe they’re feeling quite decent at the moment. Everton are just finding it so hard to score but they did hang on for that draw at Crystal Palace.

This is a massive game. Everton have dropped into the bottom two after the midweek results and they do need something dramatically. I do fancy Leicester to maybe just edge it though. I’m going for Leicester to Win this game 2-0.

I just don’t think Everton will be able to score. I think Vardy will be an impact sub. I’m looking at Kelechi Iheanacho, who’s done quite well, you’re always wanting more from him. I’m expecting him to start, to lead the line, and Iheanacho to Score at Anytime.
