Aston Villa v Newcastle

The Magpies have well and truly had the better of this match-up in recent times having scored 11 goals across their last three meetings, all comfortable wins.

Saturday afternoon’s game is a meeting of the Premier League’s form teams as both have won five of their last six games, the same record as Liverpool.

Unai Emery’s troops produced a valiant performance against PSG in the week but were ultimately eliminated from the Champions League and it seems likely the effort expended in that endeavour will count against them this weekend.

Newcastle boast the third best away record in the top flight this season.

Our Prediction: 3-1 to Newcastle

Ipswich v Arsenal

The Tractor Boys have beaten Bournemouth and drawn with Chelsea this month but they’ve left it late in the day if they are to avoid relegation.

The Portman Road faithful have had precious little to cheer this season as Kieran McKenna’s side have scraped just seven points from 16 home games.

As for the Gunners, they have the small matter of a Champions League quarter-final second leg against Real Madrid to negotiate before they start to think about Ipswich.

One way or the other, they may suffer from a European hangover come Sunday lunchtime but there’s probably no need to overthink a contest between the teams currently 18th and second in the table.

Our Prediction: 2-0 to Arsenal

Manchester United v Wolves

Vitor Pereira’s side are finishing the season in fine form.

A 4-2 victory over Spurs last time out made it four wins in succession and five unbeaten.

Wolves were boosted further by the return of talisman Matheus Cunha from suspension last weekend and the talented Brazilian marked the occasion with a goal.

Man United are without a win in their last four outings in all competitions with a home game against Lyon to come on Thursday night.

The Red Devils were well and truly outplayed by Newcastle last weekend and Ruben Amorim won’t be relishing the prospect of facing one of the league’s most in-form teams this weekend, regardless of how their Europa League quarter-final plays out.

Wolves won the reverse fixture 2-0 on Boxing Day.

Our Prediction: 3-1 to Wolves

Leicester v Liverpool

A cut-and-dry fixture here, surely?

The Foxes stopped their goalless losing streak with a 2-2 draw away to Brighton last weekend but the broader picture remains very bleak indeed.

Leicester have mustered just 18 points this campaign and their goal difference of -45 tells a damning story.

Whereas Arne Slot’s side are at the opposite end of the scale with 76 points to their name and a positive goal difference of 43.

It’s night and day.

Our Prediction: 3-0 to Liverpool

Tottenham v Nottingham Forest

Given West Ham are playing Southampton on Saturday, there’s a chance Ange Postecoglou’s men will be 17th in the table at kick-off on Monday night.

Like Man United, Spurs will be focused on Thursday night’s Europa League commitment first and foremost.

In contrast, Forest are wholly concentrated on a strong finish in the league with Champions League qualification firmly in their sights.

Nuno Espirito Santo’s side lost to Aston Villa and Everton in their two most recent outings and now have Newcastle, Man City, Chelsea and Villa breathing down their neck.

In previous years, a trip to North London would be a daunting task under such pressure but Spurs have failed to win ten of their 16 home games in the league this term.

Our Prediction: 2-1 to Nottingham Forest
