Manchester City vs Crystal Palace
Clive: 2-1
"I still think City will just about get the job done—they’ve got the firepower."
Paul: 1-2
"They’re not the side they were, and I’ve got a feeling about Palace pulling off a shock."

Clive: 2-0
"Leicester just aren’t doing enough, and Brighton are solid at home."
Paul: 3-0
"I can’t see Leicester scoring. Brighton will dominate."
Nottingham Forest vs Everton
Clive: 1-0
"Forest have been flying under Nuno—they’ll be too strong at home."
Paul: 2-1
"I’m with you, Clive. Forest are a really good side now, especially at the City Ground."
Southampton vs Aston Villa
Clive: 2-0
"Villa will want to bounce back and Southampton have gone, sadly."
Paul: 3-0
"Villa will be out to make a statement after Europe. This will be straightforward."
Arsenal vs Brentford
Clive: 2-0
"They’re flying after beating Real Madrid—momentum is with them."
Paul: 3-1
"It’s a great time to play Brentford. Arsenal will be buzzing."
Chelsea vs Ipswich
Clive: 2-1
"Ipswich have heart, but I think Chelsea have too much."
Paul: 2-0

Liverpool vs West Ham
Clive: 3-0
"They’ll be hurting after Fulham—and they’ll respond big."
Paul: 2-0
"They won’t slip up again. Anfield will demand a response."
Wolves vs Tottenham
Clive: 1-0
"I don’t say it often… but I think Spurs will lose. Wolves are strong at home."
Paul: 2-1
"It hurts me, but yeah—Wolves look dangerous and we’re far too inconsistent."
Newcastle vs Manchester United
Clive: 1-0
"United just don’t convince me. Newcastle are riding high."
Paul: 3-1
"They’ll be full of confidence and United are there for the taking."
