Bournemouth host Sunderland at 12.30 on Saturday, with Burnley vs Brentford, Liverpool vs West Ham and Newcastle vs Everton kicking off at 3pm.

EXPERT PREDICTIONS 

Craig Hope is the Daily Mail Sport expert to beat this week

Wolves v Aston Villa – AWAY WIN

Bournemouth v Sunderland – HOME WIN

Burnley v Brentford – DRAW

Liverpool v West Ham – DRAW

Newcastle v Everton – HOME WIN

Leeds v Man City – AWAY WIN

Brighton v Nottingham Forest – DRAW

Fulham v Spurs – HOME WIN

Man Utd v Crystal Palace – HOME WIN

Arsenal v Chelsea – HOME WIN

Leeds United host Man City at 5.30pm.

Sunday sees Brighton vs Nottingham Forest, Fulham vs Tottenham and Man United vs Crystal Palace kick off at 2pm, before Arsenal face Chelsea at 4.30pm in a crunch London derby.

Daily Mail Sport’s expert this week is CRAIG HOPE. Here is his take on the weekend’s games… 

‘This is being seen by some of an optimistic Spurs persuasion as the weekend when they put some distance between themselves and the bottom three. 

‘I think their situation will be worse come Sunday night. Why? West Ham are unbeaten in four in all competitions and have one of the league’s most in-form players in Crysencio Summerville. They go to Liverpool as underdogs given their opponent’s recent upsurge, but as Burnley showed last month, there is a way to frustrate the Reds and then exploit some of their weaknesses at the back. I fancy West Ham to get a draw at Anfield.

‘As for Spurs, I just cannot see them beating any team right now. Fulham have better attacking players and will be buoyed by last week’s win at Sunderland. This might look an easier task for Spurs than some of their recent fixtures, but they are so low on confidence that their slide into the bottom three feels almost inevitable.

‘Elsewhere, it feels like Man City and Arsenal will emerge from the weekend as you were, while Manchester United’s good run is almost certain to continue against a Crystal Palace beset with problems on and off the field.’

Think you can do better than Craig this week?
