With the monotony of the International Break behind us, Paul Coyte and Clive Allen have returned to the GB News studio to give their expert Premier League predictions for a bumper weekend of football.
The pick of the matches across Saturday, Sunday and Monday will be the Manchester derby on Sunday afternoon, while Villa v Nottingham Forest looks an interesting top of the table crash.
The weekend kicks off with Everton v Arsenal, a mismatch on paper between the 15th and 2nd placed teams, but a potential upset as Arsenal's title challenge looks to be over and there's a good feeling around Everton at the moment.
As Spurs legend Clive Allen said: "There is so much to play for with the run in to the end of the season now and I think we can now say with April upon us it's definitely the business end of the season."
Without further ado, here are Paul and Clive's predictions.
