The final round of Premier League fixtures before the November international break features several intriguing match-ups.
Read on as we preview the Matchday 10 fixtures, starting with the Friday night clash between Everton and Coventry City.
Everton vs Coventry City
Everton shrugged off recent defeats against Chelsea and Arsenal by recording league and cup victories over Newcastle United.
The Toffees head into the weekend seventh in the table, and could move above local rivals Liverpool with a win tonight.
Newly-promoted Coventry have picked up nine points from their first nine games, but they have been vulnerable away from home.
Prediction: Everton to win.
Leeds United vs Tottenham Hotspur
Leeds United have been a tough nut to crack in the league this season, losing just twice. However, they have gone five games without a win.
By contrast, Tottenham Hotspur have bounced back from a sticky start, picking up ten points from their last four games.
Spurs will fancy their chances at Elland Road, but Leeds should be able to take at least one point.
Prediction: Draw.
Fulham vs Newcastle United
Fulham are unbeaten in their last three league outings (W2, D1) and are a good bet to keep rolling this weekend.
They have defeated Newcastle United in each of their last two meetings at Craven Cottage, which bodes well for their chances on Saturday.
The Magpies are struggling to get to grips with manager Matthias Jaissle’s tactical demands, and this could be another tough afternoon.
Prediction: Fulham to win.
Arsenal vs Hull City
Arsenal’s 1-0 victory at Liverpool last weekend moved them three points clear of Manchester City at the top of the standings.
The Gunners are a banker bet to at least maintain their advantage by defeating Hull City at the Emirates Stadium.
Hull have defied expectations since winning promotion to the Premier League (W2, D5, L2), but they are unlikely to trouble Arsenal on Saturday.
Prediction: Arsenal to win.
Nottingham Forest vs Manchester City
Man City’s 1-0 home defeat against Brighton & Hove Albion last weekend highlighted that they are still a work in progress under manager Enzo Maresca.
City bounced back with a 3-2 Champions League win at RB Leipzig midweek and should have enough quality to beat Nottingham Forest at the City Ground.
Forest manager Oliver Glasner ripped into his players after their defeat at Brentford last Saturday. They are prime candidates for relegation.
Prediction: Man City to win.
Ipswich Town vs Bournemouth
Since losing 5-1 at Chelsea in October, Bournemouth have reeled off an impressive seven-game unbeaten run in all competitions.
They have scored 19 goals and conceded just once during that run, and should prove too hot for Ipswich Town to handle at Portman Road.
The Tractor Boys have collected 11 points from nine games, but Bournemouth’s attackers will relish facing their leaky defence.
Prediction: Bournemouth to win.
Sunderland vs Chelsea
Having qualified for the Europa League at the end of last season, Sunderland went into this campaign in a buoyant mood.
However, manager Regis Le Bris is under massive pressure, with the Black Cats rooted to the bottom of the table with just five points.
Things are unlikely to improve against Chelsea, and Sunderland may decide to pull the plug on Le Bris if they lose this game.
Prediction: Chelsea to win.
Brighton & Hove Albion vs Brentford
Shrewd transfer business has helped Brighton & Hove Albion and Brentford establish themselves in the top half of the Premier League.
The Seagulls are the division’s top scorers with 24 goals, but they may find things difficult against a Brentford team that is tough to break down.
Keith Andrews’ side have drawn all four league matches on the road this season, and they are fancied to collect another point at the Amex Stadium.
Prediction: Draw.
Crystal Palace vs Liverpool
Online bookmakers rate Liverpool as the favourites to win at Selhurst Park, but it’s hard to back them with any conviction.
Fenerbahce exposed their defensive vulnerabilities in the Champions League in midweek, and Crystal Palace could cause similar problems.
The Eagles will be confident after showing plenty of spirit to snatch a point from their Europa League game against Hoffenheim on Thursday.
Prediction: Draw.
Manchester United vs Aston Villa
Manchester United’s 3-2 comeback win over Roma in the Champions League kept manager Michael Carrick at the club a little longer.
United must show the same spirit consistently if Carrick is to remain in the hot seat. Sunday’s game against Aston Villa will show whether the players are up for the fight.
Villa have gone off the boil a little after compiling a seven-game unbeaten run in all competitions, but they could still make life difficult for United.
Prediction: Man United to win.
