Shay Given's Premier League Predictions
See what you think of Shay's tips and if you agree with his selections which when combined into one accumulator would return at odds of 11/1.
Southampton are bottom of the table and not much is going for them at the moment. I thought they played well against Liverpool last weekend but obviously they got nothing from the game.
It doesn't get much easier for the Saints as they head to Brighton and I think the Seagulls will be too strong for them, especially at home.
West Ham had a terrific result at Newcastle on Monday night, although I wasn't overly happy about it given it came against one of my former clubs!
That three points and the performance that went with it will give the Hammers a lot of confidence but they're facing an Arsenal team here that look like they are well and truly back in form.
The Gunners can't really afford to drop many more points if they want to win the league this season, as they currently sit nine points behind Liverpool, and I think they'll find a way to win this one.
Chelsea are becoming something of a dark horse this season. Nobody is really talking about them in the conversation with Liverpool and Man City and Arsenal but the Blues are sitting in third place at the moment and ticking along nicely.
Aston Villa are always difficult opponents but Unai Emery's side are having a little bit of a wobble at the moment and I fancy Chelsea to take advantage of that, especially as they are at home in this one.
Cole Palmer to inspire Enzo Maresca's men to another three points.
How many years have we talked about this fixture and it being one of the standout games of the season? Always a phenomenal game and this time around it looks like being more one sided than it's been for a long while...
Liverpool are absolutely flying and can do no wrong. Meanwhile Manchester City can do no right at the minute. Six games without a win and their confidence looks extremely low which is such a strange thing to be saying about Pep Guardiola's side.
If City are to have any hope of retaining their Premier League title then they need to get something from Anfield on Sunday. And with that in mind, I can see City setting up to be difficult to beat and trying to get a draw. And that's what I think they might get.
