The Game Notes: City have been close to flawless at the Etihad this season, and they arrive near the top of the table looking hungry to move on from a rare slip. Brighton have been one of the most dangerous attacking sides in the league and have caused City real problems in recent meetings, so they should find a way to score. The home side’s quality on their own patch should still just about see them edge a lively game.

Exact score - 5 points
The Game Notes: The Cherries are flying right now, stringing wins together across competitions without conceding. Leeds are hard to beat and have one of the meanest defences around, but their habit of drawing games suggests they lack a bit of cutting edge going forward. With the Vitality buzzing, Bournemouth look well placed to grind out a win and another clean sheet.

The Game Notes: Brentford have gone off the boil lately and haven’t won in a while, even though they’re still sitting comfortably in the top half. Forest are scrapping near the bottom and have struggled for goals, but they’ve looked much livelier on the road than at home. Neither side is in a position to shut up shop, so goals at both ends and a share of the spoils feels about right.
Spursv

Correct result - 2 points
The Game Notes: Things are finally clicking for Spurs, who have put together a small unbeaten run and look far more assured than they did early in the season. Palace are heading the other way, with the leakiest defence in the division and mounting pressure after a run of poor league results. If the hosts start on the front foot, this could turn into a comfortable evening in north London.
Aston Villav
FulhamPredicted

The Game Notes: Villa have found their stride in the league over the past few weeks, picking up points against some strong opponents. Fulham have tightened up nicely and are tough to break down away from home, though they rarely carry much threat in attack on the road. Villa Park under the lights should give the hosts the edge in a close one.
Liverpoolv
ArsenalPredicted

Actual
0 - 1

The Game Notes: Arsenal come into this as the form side, with the best defence in the league, but they’ve had a bruising week. Liverpool are unbeaten in their recent outings, and although Anfield hasn’t been the fortress it usually is, big games tend to bring out the best in the place. Expect a cagey, low-scoring contest that the Reds nick by a single goal.
