Game of the Weekend

Manchester United v Arsenal - Sunday 16:30

Because Arsenal had it so easy the other night in that 7-1 win over PSV Eindhoven, and Manchester United didn't while having their struggles in Spain against Sociedad on Thursday, I'm going to go for an away win to Arsenal.

Alan's prediction: Arsenal to Win

Remaining Fixtures

Nottingham Forest v Man City - Saturday 12:30

Forest have had a tough week, having to go all the way to penalties in the FA Cup against Ipswich. But they're through to the quarter-finals now, as are Man City. This is a tough game to call, but I'm going to say it'll be a draw. Forest are having an unbelievable season and it could get even better - can you imagine finishing in the top four and winning the FA Cup for a Forest fan?

Alan's prediction: Draw

Brighton v Fulham - Saturday 15:00

It's a tough one to call, two very good sides as well who are both still in the FA Cup. I saw Fulham last week at Old Trafford, getting a good result after going all the way to penalties, but I'm still going to back the home team to win here.

Alan's prediction: Brighton to Win

Crystal Palace v Ipswich - Saturday 15:00

I think that Crystal Palace should win this, with the way that their form has been, although it will be interesting to see if Jean-Phillippe Mateta is back for them, probably not with that horrific injury he suffered against Millwall.

Alan's prediction: Crystal Palace to Win

Liverpool v Southampton - Saturday 15:00

This is the ideal game for Liverpool, I think, in between two massive Champions League games. They had the runaround the other night against PSG and if you're looking for a game for this weekend, you would pick to play Southampton at home this weekend, before PSG on Tuesday. There's only one winner for me.

Alan's prediction: Liverpool to Win

Brentford v Aston Villa - Saturday 17:30

Brentford are probably playing Villa at the right time given their struggles after European games. The win in Brugge will have taken a lot out of them on Tuesday night, and they have to go again in midweek. For that reason, I am going to say a home win.

Alan's prediction: Brentford to Win

Wolves v Everton - Saturday 20:00

There's no Matheus Cunha for Wolves, which is a massive blow for them. He is their standout player - I'm going to go for a draw in this game.

Alan's prediction: Draw

Chelsea v Leicester - Sunday 16:00

Leicester have been really poor and I don't see the result as anything other than Chelsea winning at home.

Alan's prediction: Chelsea to Win

Tottenham v Bournemouth - Sunday 16:00

Bournemouth are having an unbelievable season, Spurs not so much. They had a terrible result against AZ Alkmaar in midweek. For this reason I'm going to go for an away win for Bournemouth.

Alan's prediction: Bournemouth to Win

West Ham v Newcastle - Monday 20:00

Newcastle need to get some form back. It could well be the kind of game they want before the EFL Cup final. They were really poor in the second-half against Brighton in the FA Cup and need to bounce back, it will be very difficult just turning up in a cup final without that.

They've got a decent record at West Ham as well, so I'm going to go for an away win.

Alan's prediction: Newcastle to Win
