- 2 points separate Watford and Everton. Watford have lost 2 in a row and would be willing to bounce back to keep in touch with the top 10. Everton escaped with a draw but they're a shadow of the their early season form at the moment.
- A couple of key games in the relegation battle with Swansea taking on Sunderland. Have Sunderland started their escape 4 months ahead of schedule? Or can Swansea claim a key 3 points? The other is Hull vs Palace. Palace got an important win against Soton and can have a comfortable break from the bottom 3 with another win. Hull could jump out if they win.
- Burnley host Bournemouth as they would be looking at a crucial win to steer clear of relegation. However, Eddie Howe has Bournemouth playing some excellent football and a win would cement their place in the top half.
- Arsenal are going very nicely and host an improving Stoke at the Emirates but who can stop Alexis?
- Leicester and Man City need a win in their game, especially the former who are playing like relegation contenders rather than champions right now. No Kun and Dinho for Man C makes things a little tougher for them but you can't warrant picking Leicester atm.
- Chelsea have now won 8 on the trot and have passed two tough tests in consecutive weeks. They host West Brom who themselves are going under the radar a bit. They sit 7th on the table, 1 point behind United. Pulis won't make things easy but Chelsea should look at making it 9 in a row.
- Soton and Boro are separated by 2 points. The hosts are looking to bounce back to keep in touch with EL whereas Boro will be looking to rise further up the table.
- Liverpool host West Ham in a game where they're looking to bounce back after capitulating like the Pool of old. West Ham need to get something going or else they will find themselves in the bottom 3 sooner rather than later. I think Pool have this comfortably.
- United vs Spurs is the big game. United will be looking to silence some critics whereas Spurs will be looking at the top 4.
