The action looms right now with the Premier League back on the agenda after a full round of midweek matches.
Ralf Rangnick will take over Manchester United for the first time on Sunday against Crystal Palace after watching his new team defeat Arsenal from the Old Trafford directors box midweek.
Meanwhile, the Gunners will look to bounce back on Monday night against Everton and league leaders Chelsea will kick off the weekend’s action with a London derby against West Ham.
As always, Betfair Ambassador Dimitar Berbatov teases the action for Metro.co.uk …
West Ham v Chelsea

This is going to be a good game. West Ham have had a little slump recently, I have a feeling Chelsea will be too strong for them. Prediction 1-2.
Betfair Trade Odds: West Ham 4/1, tie 11/4. Chelsea 6/5
Newcastle v Burnley
This is an absolutely huge game for Newcastle. They haven’t won a game yet and they need to change so fast. I will go with them in this, it is a game that can be won. Prediction 2-0.
Betfair trade odds: Newcastle 7/5, Tie 5/2, Burnley 9/4
Lobos v Liverpool

Liverpool will have too much for the Wolves, they are too much. Mo Salah, the way he plays and the way he stands, can destroy any defense right now. They have too much class. Prediction 0-3.
Betfair trade odds: Wolves 7/1, tie 4/1, Liverpool 1/2
Southampton v Brighton
Brighton is on a strange streak at the moment and has created a lot of opportunities but can’t seem to get a win. Southampton put up a good fight against Leicester last time and I think it will be tough to beat. Prediction 1-1.
Betfair Exchange Odds: Southampton 6/4, Draw 9/4, Brighton 9/4
Watford v Man City
Imagine if Watford beat City, nobody gives them a chance but Watford put up a good fight against Chelsea and in the end they comfortably beat Man United. That said, Man City is too much. Bernado Silva has class at the moment, that goal he scored against Aston Villa was a beautiful team goal and the shot was perfect, that is also a tough finish, he is in great shape and deserves the praise he is receiving. City are firing at the moment and it will be difficult to stop them. Prediction 1-3.
Betfair trade odds: Watford 15/1, tie 7/1, Man City 2/9
Leeds v Brentford
The last time Leeds had a good victory, a victory they needed. They will want to gain some momentum and I think they will be able to get a home win against Brentford. Prediction 1-0.
Betfair Exchange Odds: Leeds 20/21, Draw 14/5, Brentford 3/1
Man United v Crystal Palace

All eyes will be on Old Trafford for Ralf Rangnick’s opener. The team and the players will want to prove themselves against him and that momentum after Arsenal’s victory will give them even more confidence. Hope they do work on this one. Prediction 2-1.
Betfair trade odds: Man United 8/13, tie 10/3, Crystal Palace 6/1
Come on, if the Spurs can’t beat Norwich, don’t be offended, but they’ll be in trouble. That being said, I hope this is tough, Norwich is fighting for their lives and will want to make things difficult. The Spurs only need to add the three points. Prediction 1-0.
Betfair Exchange Odds: Tottenham 2/5, Draw 4/1, Norwich 8/1
Aston Villa v Leicester
Villa had a good second half against City, they lost a couple of opportunities to equalize. Obviously, the Gerrrard factor is there and I like it as a coach. I think he will do a good job with Villa and I think they will get the victory over Leicester. Prediction 2-1.
Betfair Trade Odds: Aston Villa 6/4, Draw 5/2, Leicester 11/5
Everton v Arsenal
Rafa Benítez is in trouble and this is a huge game for them. They need to get Goodison Park moving, if he’s hostile and they really get on his side, it’ll give the team a big boost. I have played there and believe me, it is not a good place to play when their fans are behind them. If they can pressure, pressure and intimidate Arsenal, I think they can get a result. Prediction 1-0.
Betfair Trade Odds: Everton 5/2, Draw 11/4, Arsenal 6/5
