Football... Only Bettor. Listen to the latest episode now.

Aston Villa v Leeds - Saturday 15:00

Leeds are tough to beat. The system tweak that Daniel Farke made a few weeks back has been working and Dominic Calvert-Lewin is obviously a handful.

I still think if this game would have had been at Elland Road, I might have gone for a different outcome, but with it being at Villa Park and the expectancy on Aston Villa, I think Villa will win this one.

It is a tough one, because, with Spurs playing Arsenal, Spurs are at home and with the other teams playing as well, you'd much rather be in Leeds' position with the six points clear of the drop like they are, but that can be wiped out in a week.

Brentford v Brighton - Saturday 15:00

Brentford are very hard to beat. He's done a remarkable job Keith Andrews has. However, whatever happens between now and the end of the season, they won't want to switch off and they're a tough outfit. I think they've got a bit of aggression, they've got togetherness, they've got the pieces of skill that you need as well with big Thiago up front.

Brighton are very different. You feel as if the manager is under pressure because of the standards Brighton have set in previous seasons. I would expect Brentford to win this one.

I think if Brighton were to be beaten this weekend he should be worried about his job. There's been some noise already and they got booed off in their last home game and that's only going to get louder if Brentford beat them, so I get that and understand it.

Chelsea v Burnley - Saturday 15:00

I worked the Hull v Chelsea game in the FA Cup and Chelsea were really impressive. It should have been a lot more because they missed so many chances. But, they were really poor defensively against Leeds before that.

Burnley got their win against Palace then mad seven changes in the FA Cup and get dumped out of that which it's tough to know, because they've not exactly got loads of fixtures, but Chelsea will have too much for Burnley at Stamford Bridge.

Burnley didn't have any midweek game, but I guess Scott Parker is also trying to look after the squad and he's trying to give players minutes who perhaps haven't played much this season, but it was a strange one.

For Hull, making all those changes on the Friday evening, I get it, because they're fourth, and they're going to try to get into the Premier League. But for Burnley, you've just had a great win, and you're not playing again for another eight days. It was a surprise for me.

West Ham v Bournemouth - Saturday 17:30, Live on Sky Sports

This is a tough one to predict. I'll probably sit on the fence and go with a draw in this one. You've got to give West Ham and Nuno great credit because they were done, as we said, a month ago.

They were down and out but they've clawed their way back and Summerville is having a great time scoring goals. I go back to my point that their form has probably cost two managers their jobs in terms of them panicking In Forest and in Spurs, because of what West Ham have done. Bournemouth are in really good form, so I'm going to go for a draw in this one.

Manchester City v Newcastle - Saturday 20:00, Live on TNT Sport

Well, it's going to be a minimum of five games that Newcastle play Man City this season, it could even be six, depending on what happens in the Champions League if Newcastle were to get through the round of 16 as well as Man City, then they could meet each other again, but five times guaranteed with the draw in the FA Cup.

I mean, with Newcastle's form at the Etihad, it'd take a brave man to predict anything other than a Man City win. As much as it hurts me, probably because of that, Man City.

Newcastle are going to be full of confidence off the back of three straight away wins. But it hasn't helped that Man City have had a free week and Newcastle had a long journey on a Wednesday when they're playing on a Saturday night. So, yeah, it's a big ask for Newcastle, but they're in good form away from home.

I just look at their record at Manchester City and it's dreadful. So, it'd take a brave man to predict anything other than a City win.

City will be raring to go for this. I mean, there's no doubt that they would have watched the Arsenal game. Pep would have watched the Arsenal game and now they've now got to go and put the pressure back on. They play before Arsenal this weekend again, so, it's their turn to put the pressure back onto Arsenal for their game on Sunday.

Crystal Palace v Wolves - Sunday 14:00, Live on Sky Sports

It was a poor result for Palace at home to Burnley. It really was a shocking result. They've had a few. In the FA Cup as well, they had a poor result. I think Crystal Palace are probably so much looking forward to the end of the season, for obvious reasons, to sort of regroup and sort the manager's situation out and to bring in one or two players. It's been a tough season which looked very promising at the beginning, and particularly after what happened last season with the FA Cup and the Community Shield and all that stuff.

Having said that, they are playing Wolves, and I know they had a good result against Arsenal but I'm going to go with a home win for Palace.

Nottm Forest v Liverpool - Sunday 14:00, Live on Sky Sports

Nottingham Forest have a change of manager and it was a huge decision which sort of came out of the blue. But I think Liverpool look as if they've got some sort of normality back, so I'll go for an away win.

I think it'll be between Nottingham Forest and West Ham for who does take that third relegation place. I don't see Forest getting anything this weekend. I think they'll make it tough but not have enough on the day. I think, as Arsenal found it tough, City found it tough there as well, and Liverpool will as well because I think Vitor Pereira will get a great reception and the City Ground will be rocking. However, I think the form that Liverpool are in, they'll just have too much.

Sunderland v Fulham - Sunday 14:00, Live on Sky Sports

I mean, Sunderland as I said, we've said it so many times their home record is brilliant. I know that record went against Liverpool, where I thought Liverpool were superb going there and battling the way they did. But I think they'll get back to winning ways at home against Fulham.

I think, because of how they're playing and everything else that goes along with them, then yeah, Sunderland for the three points.

Tottenham v Arsenal - Sunday 16:30, Live on Sky Sports

Arsenal have to win the game. I mean, it's pretty simple. It would be a disaster if they didn't, and they're not in great form, losing a 2-0 lead in the way they did against Wolves, they go into it under huge pressure. It might even be more if City beat Newcastle on Saturday night.

But Spurs give me no confidence, even with the new manager bounce, that they would hope that they're going to get so I'm going to say an Arsenal away win.

Everton v Manchester United - Monday 20:00, Live on Sky Sports

It is a tough one, but I think the atmosphere will be amazing and it'll be tough for Man United regardless the good the good form they are in. I think I'm going to say a draw.
