Manchester City v Leeds United – Saturday 12:30
Is there any chance of an upset here? No. Leeds won’t go there to be negative, they won’t sit back and it’ll play right into City’s hands. Kevin De Bruyne will be running into space, when normally he’s running into brick walls, only he can find cracks in cement.
As much as everyone looks at Leeds and they enjoy watching them, there’s no chance. City will win this.
Prediction: Manchester City 3 Leeds United 0
‘Just win the game’ – Guardiola reveals City gameplan
Aston Villa v Liverpool – Saturday 15:00
We won’t see Villa winning this one 7-2 again. Even in that last game, it wasn’t like Villa battered them, it could have been 7-6. I thought goalkeeper Adrian was poor in that match, and it will very different with Alisson back.
Prediction: Aston Villa 1 Liverpool 2
‘We were not good enough’ – Klopp bemoans Liverpool showing against Real
Crystal Palace v Chelsea – Saturday 17:30
Palace are virtually safe and their season is basically over, they should have lost to Everton on Monday. Chelsea will have too much for them.
Prediction: Crystal Palace 1 Chelsea 2
Tottenham Hotspur v Manchester United – Sunday 16:30
It’s not going to be the prettiest game, two sides who don’t want to lose. Jose Mourinho won’t want to lose against one of his old teams, and when that happens he usually likes to go negative.
I think United have pretty much qualified for the Champions League, they’ve lost their edge a bit, but they’re doing well in the Premier League. Mourinho is under pressure, he can’t afford for his team to play like they did against Newcastle again.
I’m expecting Spurs to be on the front foot – they’ll set up to win 1-0, but they won’t. United to win this one.
Prediction: Tottenham Hotspur 1 Manchester United 2
