Barclays Premier League weekend match predictions

Crystal Palace vs Arsenal
Prediction: 0 - 3
Arsenal have a relatively easy game on paper to bounce back from a 2 - 1 defeat to Borussia Dortmund midweek in the champions league. Crystal Palace are currently sitting in 19th in the league and league leaders Arsenal should have no problems winning this match by a large goal margin. Olivier Giroud should continue his fine goal scoring form with two of the goals which I expect to be assisted by current star player Mesut Özil who will also grab a goal for himself.

Aston Villa vs Everton
Prediction: 1 - 3
The meeting of the Belgium giants, Christian Benteke and Romelu Lukaku, both players who I think will get on the scoresheet this match. Benteke will grab Villa's only goal early on but a comeback from Everton will see them end up winners after a brace from Lukaku and a late game finisher from Kevin Mirallas.

Liverpool vs West Brom
Prediction: 4 - 1
Could we see the return from injury of Phillipe Coutinho? If so we will finally witness the deadly trio of Sturridge, Suarez and Coutinho for the first time this season. After loosening their grasp on top form in the premier league a home game against West Brom should be a great time for Liverpool to get back to winning games by a few goals. Sturridge and Suarez will both grab two of the goals with Stephen Sessengnon getting a consolation for the visitors to deny a clean sheet for the reds.

Manchester United vs Stoke City
Prediction: 2 - 1
Another game that David Moyes and Manchester United should really be winning. But will it be another occasion where they drop points? Stoke will put up a fight but a headed goal from one of united's centre backs will give them a lead in the second half before Wayne Rooney puts the game beyond doubt. Although Stoke will threaten a comeback late on through Ryan Shawcross heading in a corner it will be too late.

Norwich City vs Cardiff City
Prediction: 0 - 0
Two teams near the bottom of the table so far this season will both be hoping for a win this match. However a goalless draw is the most likely outcome with neither team notorious for goals right now.

Southampton vs Fulham

Prediction: 1 - 1
Another draw, this time with a goal apiece. Fulham come off their biggest win of the season after Patjim Kasami's wondergoal against Crystal Palace on Monday, however a stern Southampton defence will keep them out until a late Berbatov goal. Southampton will then reply almost immediately through a header from a corner coming from either Jose Fonte or Dejan Lovren.

Sunderland vs Newcastle United
Prediction: 0 - 4
Newcastle will run riot in this Tyneside derby with QPR loanee Loic Remy scoring his first hat trick for the club. Hatem Ben Arfa will add another goal to completely finish off Sunderland who will remain bottom of the table.

Chelsea vs Manchester City
Prediction: 1 - 3
City will take charge early on in this match through Aguero who will go on to complete his hat trick before 60 minutes is up. Towards the end of the match Chelsea will bring on Fernando Torres who will grab a 90th minute consolation goal for the blues but it will be too little too late.

Swansea vs West Ham
Prediction: 5 - 2
In the game of the week Swansea will continue their increase in form, coming back from two early hammers goals to eventually win 5 - 2. Ricardo Vaz Te and Winston Reid will give the lead to West Ham but defensive mistakes will lead to two goals each from Wilfred Bony and Jonathon De Guzman before late frustrations lead to an own goal.

Tottenham vs Hull City
Prediction: 3 - 1
To round of this weeks fixtures Tottenham Hotspur will dominate Hull City at White Hart Lane. Although Robbie Brady will give the visitors early hope from a free kick a penalty from Roberto Soldado and then a brace from in-form Andros Townsend will crush the dreams of an away win for the visitors.
