Terry Butcher has opened up ahead of the fifth round of Premier League fixtures

Terry Butcher is backing Manchester City to beat Arsenal this weekend - in the biggest game of the season so far.
In his latest round of weekly predictions for GBNews, the England legend has tipped City to beat Arsenal 1-0.
The Gunners managed to take a point from the Etihad last season - as they pushed the champions all the way in the race for the league title.
But Butch, 65, thinks Mikel Arteta will come off a loser this time round when he takes on City manager, and his former boss, Pep Guardiola.

And Butcher, now a UK leading motivational speaker following his retirement from the game, is also predicting a better weekend for Liverpool.
They were humbled last week in a home defeat to Nottingham Forest.
But Butcher, who won 77 England caps, thinks Liverpool will get back to winning ways in Saturday’s home game against Bournemouth and land a win.
Butcher is also tipping Chelsea, Aston Villa, Ipswich and Manchester United to triumph.
But he thinks Fulham vs Newcastle; Brighton vs Forest and Spurs vs Brentford will all end in stalemates.
Many eyes will be on the King Power Stadium on Saturday for Leicester v Everton, with growing uncertainty around the Toffees’ manager Sean Dyche.
He has shortened further in the odds to be the first Premier League manager to leave this season, and now leads the sack race at 13/8. It comes after Everton were knocked out of the Carabao Cup on penalties at home by Southampton.
The Blues went into Tuesday's third-round tie under pressure having surrendered a 2-0 lead to lose 3-2 two games in succession, leaving them bottom of the table with no points from four games.
They took a first-half lead through Abdoulaye Doucoure but after that was cancelled out by Saints defender Taylor Harwood-Bellis, it was the visitors who emerged victorious from the shootout.

Dyche, who started the season as a 14/1 sack race outsider, will be hoping to turn things around when he takes his team to fellow strugglers Leicester on Saturday.
But Butcher is predicting a 1-1 draw.
