The top two are both in action live on Sky Sports in a weekend that could help either side move a step closer to the league crown.Tottenham face a tough trip to Anfield to take on Liverpool on Saturday Night Football and defeat could open the door for Leicester to increase their lead to eight points when they face Southampton on Super Sunday. Mersons last predictions Result Merses prediction Everton 0-2 Arsenal 1-1 Crystal Palace 0-1 Leicester 2-1 Watford 1-2 Stoke 1-2 West Brom 0-1 Norwich 1-0 Chelsea 2-2 West Ham 1-1 Swansea 1-0 Aston Villa 2-0 Southampton 3-2 Liverpool 2-1 Newcastle 1-1 Sunderland 1-1 Man City 0-1 Man Utd 2-1 Tottenham 3-0 Bournemouth 2-1 Meanwhile, Manchester United will be looking to continue their quest for a top-four place when they take on Everton in the other live clash on Sunday, and Norwich and Newcastle face off in a crucial relegation battle on Saturday.Merse correctly predicted six Premier League outcomes last time, and also called two perfect scores, including the Tyne-Wear derby. TFFC Podcast Max and Merse preview the weekends Premier League games Read on to see who he is backing this week...Aston Villa v Chelsea - Saturday, 12.45pmI dont see anything but a Chelsea win. I dont know what has happened at Villa, its 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. 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 didnt sign anybody, but he stayed and they havent got any better. PAUL PREDICTS: 0-3 (Sky Bets odds: 9/1)Arsenal v Watford - Saturday, 3pmTheres 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. 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 dont have much to play for and I cant see them winning at the Emirates again.PAUL PREDICTS: 3-0 (Sky Bets odds: 7/1)Bournemouth v Man City - Saturday, 3pmThis 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. Wilfried Bony netted in Citys win over Bournemouth at the Etihad Its a hard game for City and I dont 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 (Sky Bets odds: 5/1)Norwich v Newcastle - Saturday, 3pmA 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. Georginio Wijnaldum netted four in Newcastles 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 (Sky Bets odds: 8/1)Stoke v Swansea - Saturday, 3pmTheres not too much riding on this game. Swansea are pretty much safe and its difficult for Stoke to push for the top four because its not just one team they are chasing, there are a few teams with not much between them. 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 (Sky Bets odds: 8/1)Sunderland v West Brom - Saturday, 3pmIts 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 Im going for Sunderland to win. Jermain Defoe scored in Sunderlands 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 (Sky Bets odds: 15/2)West Ham v Crystal Palace - Saturday, 3pmWest 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. 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 cant win at the moment and if they lose this then they will be looking nervously over their shoulders.PAUL PREDICTS: 3-1 (Sky Bets odds: 14/1)Liverpool v Tottenham - Saturday Night Football, 5.30pm, Sky Sports 1 HDIm going for Spurs. They were very good against Bournemouth last time out and this is a big game that they have to win. The last time Liverpool played Spurs it was Jurgen Klopps first match in charge Some people are saying its 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 (Sky Bets odds: 9/1)Leicester v Southampton - Super Sunday, 1.30pm, Sky Sports 1 HDThis 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. Leicesters 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 havent 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 (Sky Bets odds: 5/1)Manchester United v Everton, Super Sunday, 4pm, Sky Sports 1 HDIf Man City dont 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. 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.

Datsyuk will miss Tuesdays game against New Jersey and could be sidelined longer, while Cleary will likely miss at least the next three games. Its been an injury-plagued season for Datsyuk, who has suited up for just 39 games. Yeezy Boost 350 V2 UK . -- If Henry Burris has his way, he will be the starting quarterback to lead the Hamilton Tiger-Cats back to the Grey Cup next year. http://www.cheapshoesukonline.org/onitsuka-tiger-sale-uk.html .25 million option on reliever Jose Veras. GREEN BAY, Wisc. -- Packers defensive coordinator Dom Capers has been either a head coach or defensive coordinator in the NFL for 23 seasons.He doesnt need any of that experience to figure out the Chicago Bears game plan for Thursday night.The Packers probably will be without their three top cornerbacks. That unit will be under siege from Brian Hoyer, who is the first quarterback in Bears history to have four consecutive 300-yard passing games.When you look at the Bears statistics, I would anticipate theyll throw the ball because thats what theyve been having a lot of success doing, Capers said.On the other side of the coin, the Packers have had shockingly little success throwing the football. Quarterback Aaron Rodgers funk continued in last weeks 30-16 loss to Dallas. While the numbers looked nice at the end of the game -- 31-of-42 passing for 294 yards and a 90.8 passer rating, Rodgers turned over the ball twice and the Packers scored one touchdown in four trips in the red zone.After the game, Rodgers said he would go home and watch the game over a glass of scotch.The scotch was great, Rodgers said. You know, I saw things that weve been seeing throughout the year. Were close. Weve been making some plays at times, but not good enough consistently. Weve got to clean some things up, Ive got to make some better throws at times and weve got to get on the same page a little bit more consistently, especially in the red zone. The last two weeks weve really struggled down there, turning the ball over a few times, I have, so youve got to clean that stuff up. You cant take points off the board like that.The numbers are startling. Rodgers, who owns the NFLs best career passer rating and ranks among the all-time best in completion percentage and yards per attempt, ranks 20th, 26th and 26th, respectively, in those categories.Rodgers, however, remains undaunted that he -- and the offense -- will get back on track.Its football, he said. Theres going to be stretches where youre playing really great and stretches where youre just a little bit off, and weve just been a little bit off I think collectively. Im confident. Were five games into it. Were going to get it fixed pretty soon.As for Hoyer, hell be attacking a no-name group of cornerbacks.The Packers pplaced their top player, veteran Sam Shields, on injured reserve due to a concussion sustained on Sept. Puma Rihanna Creepers UK. . 11 at Jacksonville.The other starters, second-year players Damarious Randall and Quinten Rollins, probably wont play because of groin injuries. That will leave Green Bay with some combination of Micah Hyde, the teams No. 3 safety, LaDarius Gunter, an undrafted free agent in 2015, Demetri Goodson, a sixth-round pick in 2014 who returned from a four-game suspension last week, and Josh Hawkins, an undrafted free agent in 2016, trying to stop the prolific receiver trio of Alshon Jeffery (29 receptions, 487 yards), Eddie Royal (29 receptions, 338 yards) and Cameron Meredith (26 receptions, 295 yards). Even without Dez Bryant, Dallas quarterback Dak Prescott lit up the Packers for 247 yards, three touchdowns and a 117.4 passer rating last week.Especially on a short week and with everything that they do schematically, we have our work cut out for us over the next 48 hours just trying to see what theyve done, see whos playing, Hoyer said. The one constant is obviously that front seven is really good. We have to handle those guys and then react to how theyre going to play us on the best end.Chicagos offensive stats are hard to fathom. The Bears are seventh in total offense, including fourth in passing offense, but theyre just 31st in scoring with 16.8 points per game. Theyve topped 20 points only once in six games.Obviously, these games are won by who has the most points, Bears coach John Fox said. Weve come up a little short in that area.Injuries havent just wiped out Green Bays cornerback depth. Theyve left a mess of the running back depth chart, too. Starter Eddie Lacy played through a sprained ankle last week and was very sore on Tuesday, according to coach Mike McCarthy.His backup, James Starks, had knee surgery on Sunday. As a response, Green Bay acquired Knile Davis from the Chiefs in a trade on Tuesday. The other option is Don Jackson, an undrafted rookie whos on the practice squad.Chicago, on the other hand, has gotten production from rookie Jordan Howard, who has 330 yards and a 5.0-yard average.
