Premier League fans will be treated to a super-duper Sunday of action this weekend with two massive games on the schedule.
High flying Nottingham Forest go to to Newcastle in the 2pm kickoff, as Nuno Espirito Santo looks to plot a path to European qualification and, in the 4:30pm game, old rivalries are renewed as leaders Liverpool head to Manchester City.
Ahead of two mouth-watering clashes, Paddy Power ambassador Joe Cole joined us during the week to give his prudent picks for these games.

2pm: Newcastle v Nottingham Forest
TV: Sky Sports Main Event / Sky Sports Premier League
Everyone has been getting a little bit romantic about Forest and thinking about them in the same way as the Leicester triumph of a few years ago – and could they go on and do it?
You can’t knock what they’ve done this season, they’ve been absolutely incredible, but losing 2-1 at Fulham last week was a setback.
They’ve kept the most Premier League clean sheets this season with 10 and they are ranked third for away form so far. Their counterattacking style really suits playing from home.
Newcastle need to bounce back from last week’s 4-0 loss at Man City and they can close the gap on Forest to three points with a win here, and that’s the result I’m going for.
Newcastle to win is my NAP of the weekend, the players will want to perform with the cup final just around the corner, and I don’t think Eddie Howe will be settled on his team, so there are a few places up for grabs.
I’m also backing Alexander Isak to score, he’s their top scorer with 17 goals this season,
I think the wheels are starting to come off slightly for Forest, so I’m also backing Newcastle to keep a clean sheet.
4:30pm: Man City v Liverpool
TV: Sky Sports Main Event / Sky Sports Premier League
This is a tough one to call, so the first pick I’m going for is both teams to score.
Even though Liverpool are a lot more secure at the back, I still think there will be goals, so I’m going to sit on the fence and go for a score draw.
Looking at some of the player picks for a Bet Builder, I’m going for Erling Haaland to have 3+ shots and Bernardo Silva to be carded.
Silva’s form has dipped a little this season, maybe he’s slowing down, he’s already picked up five Premier League bookings in 2024/25 and this is likely to be feisty in the midfield.
Looking at Liverpool, I fancy Trent Alexander-Arnold to provide an assist, he’s second behind Mo Salah in that list this season with six.
