Chelsea 4-0 Stoke City

Stoke are bad and Chelsea are the best team in the league at the moment. There really isn’t much more to say here, Stoke have been getting points against teams near them in the table, but as Liverpool showed last weekend, they are no match for the top teams. Expect Chelsea to roll in this one.

Southampton 1-0 West Brom

Southampton were humbled by Tottenham on Wednesday evening and with the quick turnaround expect a tight game from them in this one. West Brom struggle away from home and might find it very difficult if Southampton set up well.

Leicester City 1-1 West Ham

This was a tough prediction to make, West Ham and Leicester have both been anomalies this season, depending on which team shows up the outcome can be very different.

Liverpool 1-3 Manchester City

Here we are, the big one. Manchester City travel to Liverpool to take on Klopp’s team. City should be bolstered by the return of star striker Sergio Aguero; meanwhile Liverpool will sorely miss both Coutinho and key defender Matip. City have what it takes to score goals, the real question is how much can they control the ball and stop Liverpool on the counter.
