Wolves v Liverpool

Arsenal v Burnley

City v Palace

Chelsea v Leicester

Cardiff v Man Utd

Everton v Spurs

All of these games look tricky for the top sides. Liverpool have a difficult trip away to Wolves but Watford have opened the door for away sides at Wolves now so its difficult to predict what kind of game this will be. Liverpool should have too much to be beaten and the pressure is probably on them to come away with a victory. Wolves will have the stand out star – Ruben Neves on full display here as the transfer window approaches. What will it take to prize him away?

Burnley should not trouble a resurgent Arsenal too much. Nevertheless this will be an interesting trial for Unai Emery as Arsenal memory that his time in the French and Spanish Leagues are unlikely to have prepared him for.

City enterain Palce who are exactly the kind of team who can causse City problems through direct running and skillful play. I still haven’t forgiven the team or their fans for their disgraceful fouls last January and consequently I want to see them crushed.

Chelsea should romp past an increasingly open Leicester side. Cardiff v Man Utd has a drab and dour ring about it. Everton may well cause Spurs some trouble.
