A win for Pep Guardiola would be the perfect tonic following their midweek European defeat to Juventus in the Champions League.

But it would spell back-to-back defeats for Ruben Amorim whose Manchester United side lost at home to Nottingham Forest in their last league match.

Elsewhere, Butcher is predicting more misery for the under-pressure Wolves manager Gary O’Neill.

The ex-Ipswich defender is backing his former club to go to Wolves and win 2-1 this weekend. Such a result which could be the final nail in the coffin for O’Neil, amid speculation that he could soon be sacked.

Elsewhere, Butcher thinks Arsenal will easily win at home against Everton and is opting for a 3-0 scoreline.

He believes league leaders Liverpool will also stroll to a 2-0 win against Fulham at Anfield.

Butcher is also tipping Brighton to beat rivals Crystal Palace and backing Bournemouth to beat West Ham.

The Midlands derby between Nottingham Forest and Aston Villa will finish 2-2, according to Butch. He’s also backing Brentford to win a point at Stamford Bridge when they take on London rivals Chelsea.

And he thinks Spurs will also endure a frustrating weekend and is tipping Southampton to get a point off the north Londoners when they visit the south coast on Sunday.
