Lawro Liverpool v Tottenham (17:30 GMT) Liverpool's 3-2 defeat against Southampton after leading 2-0 pretty much summed up how things have been under Jurgen Klopp. There is lots of promise and you can see green shoots of recovery and then something happens to make you go 'whoa, hold on a minute'. When I was a player in the 1980s, when Tottenham had to cross the Watford Gap you used to just forget about them - they used to get beaten a lot when they travelled north. There is no way you would describe them as soft touches on the road under Mauricio Pochettino, though. They have strength and steel as well as ability and I don't think they will come away from Anfield empty handed. Would a draw be enough for their title hopes? With Leicester playing on Sunday, I think they would take a point and see what happens. Pochettino is not going to go all out for a win because that would play into Liverpool's hands, and I think avoiding defeat will be his priority. If they don't win, then they are still in contention. Lawro's prediction: 1-1 James' prediction: (Saul) Jurgen Klopp is probably still screaming at his Liverpool players for letting that lead slip against Southampton. I think they will beat Spurs. 2-1
Merson Aston Villa v Chelsea - Saturday, 12.45pm I don't see anything but a Chelsea win. I don't know what has happened at Villa, it's a bit of a joke to be honest. They had a two-week break and then sacked the manager three days before the next game, very strange. please log in to view this image Chelsea were held at home by West Ham last time out He should have gone ages ago. He should have gone after the transfer window when they didn't sign anybody, but he stayed and they haven't got any better. PAUL PREDICTS: 0-3 Arsenal v Watford - Saturday, 3pm There's no pressure on Arsenal so they will win this game. They are the best team in the country when there is no pressure on them. please log in to view this image Watford beat Arsenal in the FA Cup, but Merse does not think they will do so again They lost the big one in the quarter-final of the cup but Watford don't have much to play for and I can't see them winning at the Emirates again. PAUL PREDICTS: 3-0 Bournemouth v Man City - Saturday, 3pm This should be a good game. Bournemouth were well beaten at Tottenham last time out but have been doing well otherwise recently. Man City have some hard games coming up and are fighting for their lives to get in the top four now. One minute they are trying to win the league, now they are fighting for the top four. please log in to view this image Wilfried Bony netted in City's win over Bournemouth at the Etihad It's a hard game for City and I don't think they will make the top four at the end of the season. I worry about them, what a nightmare it would be if Pep Guardiola comes and they are not in the Champions League. PAUL PREDICTS: 1-1 Norwich v Newcastle - Saturday, 3pm A massive game for both sides. Newcastle were quite lucky against Sunderland in their last game. They finished well in the final 10 minutes but Sunderland let them back into it. please log in to view this image Georginio Wijnaldum netted four in Newcastle's last meeting with Norwich Norwich had a good result at West Brom and I think they can win this and leave Newcastle in real trouble. PAUL PREDICTS: 2-1 Stoke v Swansea - Saturday, 3pm There's not too much riding on this game. Swansea are pretty much safe and it's difficult for Stoke to push for the top four because it's not just one team they are chasing, there are a few teams with not much between them. please log in to view this image Merse fancies Stoke to beat Swansea You are better off being seven points behind one team than six points behind three teams. I still think they will win this one at home though. PAUL PREDICTS: 2-1 Sunderland v West Brom - Saturday, 3pm It's a must-win game for Sunderland and I think they will do it. West Brom are not the worst team on the road but they were poor against Norwich in their last game and I'm going for Sunderland to win. please log in to view this image Jermain Defoe scored in Sunderland's last match against Newcastle It will be hard for them to get out of the bottom three so this is a big game for them. PAUL PREDICTS: 2-0 West Ham v Crystal Palace - Saturday, 3pm West Ham are flying at the moment and Palace are on a slippery slope. I think the Hammers will win and move above Man City in the table. please log in to view this image West Ham are pushing for the top four Palace are seven points above the bottom three but they are not out of trouble. They just can't win at the moment and if they lose this then they will be looking nervously over their shoulders. PAUL PREDICTS: 3-1 Liverpool v Tottenham - Saturday Night Football, 5.30pm, Sky Sports 1 HD I'm going for Spurs. They were very good against Bournemouth last time out and this is a big game that they have to win. please log in to view this image The last time Liverpool played Spurs it was Jurgen Klopp's first match in charge Some people are saying it's a must-not-lose game for Spurs, but I think they need the win with the fixtures they have coming up. PAUL PREDICTS: 1-2 Leicester v Southampton - Super Sunday, 1.30pm, Sky Sports 1 HD This is a hard one for Leicester. In fact, I think their next three games are their hardest. People talk about their last three but if they put these three to bed they might not have to worry about the last three. please log in to view this image Leicester's Jamie Vardy scored twice for England over the international break Southampton are a decent side, Shane Long will cause problems, and Leicester will have to attack. The pressure has been getting to Leicester a bit, they haven't been great lately and they have just got over the line in a few games, but if they can win the next three they would put it to bed. PAUL PREDICTS 1-1 Manchester United v Everton If Man City don't win on Saturday then this is a big game for United, but it depends what Everton side turn up - they are a real bag of revels. please log in to view this image Merse thinks United can beat Everton at Old Trafford We are at that stage of the season where teams like West Ham and United have to win to challenge for the top four. Draws are no good, so they need to have a go for it. PAUL PREDICTS: 2-1
Few stats Spurs win - 13 of 23 (12 Spurs fans, 1 other) Draw 7 (3 Spurs, 4 Other) Liverpool 3 (All Spurs) Leicester win - 11 of 23 (7 Spurs, 4 Others) Draw 8 (7 Spurs, 1 Other) Loss 3 (All Spurs) No post yet 1 (Spur)
Liverpool v Spurs is definitely the toughest prediction of the weekend. The bookies have it by and large - LIverpool 6/4, Spurs 7/4, draw 23/10. Shortest result odds 5/1 on a 1-1 draw
