Manchester United continue climb, Liverpool take another step towards the title: Premier League predictions

A look ahead at the action in England's top flight

Bournemouth v Manchester United, Saturday, 4.30pm: When you've only scored 13 goals in 10 Premier League games, it's not advisable to keep missing penalties, but Manchester United managed to do so twice at Norwich. However, they still grabbed three points, and the hosts are struggling to score themselves of late. PREDICTION: Bournemouth 0 Manchester United 1. Reuters

Arsenal v Wolves, Saturday, 7pm: They win some, they lose some, they draw some. Arsenal just can't seem to decide if this is going to be a good season or not. Throw in a disgruntled captain swearing at his own jeering supporters, and it's not a great foundation for success against a dangerous Wolves side, who like to draw some more than most.

Aston Villa v Liverpool, Saturday, 7pm: Liverpool have dropped just two points and so far are managing to keep Manchester City at arm's length. He might not be scoring quite as many as before, but Mohamed Salah remains the spearhead of one fantasic side. PREDICTION: Aston Villa 0 Liverpool 3. AFP

Brighton v Norwich, Saturday, 7pm: Norwich have only one team below them, while Brighton's defeat of Everton lifted them into the relative comfort of 14th place. Norwich need to stop shipping goals at such an alarming rate or they will be back in the Championship. PREDICTION: Brighton 3 Norwich 1. Reuters

Manchester City v Southampton, Saturday, 7pm: Losing 9-0 at home is embarrassing enough without the prospect of facing the Premier League's top scorers in the next match. Southampton kept City down to three goals in the midweek League Cup meeting. They would probably take that margin again now. PREDICTION: Manchester City 4 Southampton 0. AFP

Sheffield United v Burnley, Saturday, 7pm: Chris Wilder is working miracles with Sheffield United, and all credit to him. Another point away from home last time out at West Ham means they sit in eighth after more than a quarter of the season gone. This will be gritty, and very close. PREDICTION: Sheffield United 1 Burnley 1. AFP

West Ham v Newcastle, Saturday, 7pm: West Ham looked much livelier with Robert Snodgrass in the line-up, even if they didn't have enough to see off a tenacious Sheffield United. But he could make the difference against an indifferent Newcastle. PREDICTION: West Ham 2 Newcastle 0. PA

Watford v Chelsea, Saturday, 9.30pm: Chelsea had won seven in a row before the League Cup game at Manchester United in midweek, and with Christian Pulisic announcing his true arrival with a hat-trick against Burnley, they are looking like a formidable team again. Frank Lampard has done a great job at introducing youth, and will relish this trip to the league's bottom club. PREDICTION: Watford 0 Chelsea 3. AFP

Crystal Palace v Leicester, Sunday, 6pm: Can Leicester keep going in the same fashion as their title miracle? There are no signs of slacking off just yet, and the small matter of a 9-0 win at Southampton last time will not harm the confidence. If they can stop Wilfried Zaha, fairly or not as Arsenal attempted, they should carry on that momentum. PREDICTION: Crystal Palace 1 Leicester 2. PA

Everton v Tottenham, Sunday, 8.30pm: Signs of recovery from Everton. Signs of a return to form from Tottenham, despite defeat at Liverpool. This could go either way, though Spurs may just edge it with their quality. PREDICTION: Everton 1 Tottenham 2. Reuters

Crisis? What crisis? Manchster United have taken quite a pummelling this season, seemingly unable to do anything right. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer the wrong person in charge, not enough goal threat, lacking in star quality.

Well, win in the 4.30pm kick-off at Bournemouth on Saturday and United climb to fifth place and on the shoulder of the Champions League places. Yes, it might only be for a few hours, but they are also the only side to have taken points from Liverpool this season. They are not finished just yet.

Liverpool travel to Aston Villa at 7pm and will more than likely maintain their comfortable lead at the summit, while West Ham v Newcastle is going to be a right scramble.

The late game on Saturday, at 9.30pm, sees rock bottom Watford lose at home to Chelsea. Probably.

Leicester can continue their remarkable season on Sunday at 6pm when they visit Crystal Palace, while the final game sees Everton host Tottenham (8.30pm).
