My Thoughts

A few very interesting fixtures this week.
Manchester United travel to Huddersfield and Man City host Burnley. I wouldn't expect anything less than 3 points for both of the Manchester clubs this weekend. Both clubs are in great form coming off of wins during the midweek Champions League fixtures and there is no sign of slowing down.

Spurs host Liverpool on Sunday which should make for an interesting affair. Liverpool will be high in confidence after their historic 0-7 away win during the week and Spurs might still continue to struggle playing at Wembely. If Pochettino's men drop points in this match, there is a good opportunity for the Manchester clubs to pull ahead.

Arsenal travel to the blue half of Merseyside to face Everton on Sunday. In recent years they have not performed too well against Everton but seeing as Ronald Koeman is struggling to find his feet, The Gunners might just come away with 3 points.

Chelsea face Watford at home on Saturday and I think it will be a very interesting match. Chelsea is on a poor run of form lately, losing to Crystal Palace last weekend and only coming away with a draw in their Champions League game. Seeing as Watford is 4th on the log and that they beat arsenal last weekend thanks to Cleverly's late winner, we could see the champions struggle against the Hornets.

Prediction: Lukaku to get a hat-trick as Utd end up scoring four again. City to edge past Burney; 2-0. Everton and Arsenal in a score draw 1-1

I agree with you here. I expect a draw from Arsenal. If it wasn't for Girouds goal last night they would not have won. The team is lacking confidence and Wenger's tactics don't seem to be working as well as it used to. And i would love a Lukaku hat-trick. He is my captain for FPL this weekend XD
