Leicester Vs Norwich
Leicester City seemed to be heading for a share of the spoils when they visited Arsenal in Gameweek 26 but conceded a late goal to leave The Emirates empty handed. The Foxes remain top of the Premier League but have seen their lead cut to just two points with Spurs and Arsenal loitering. Norwich visit Leicester following their 2-2 draw against West Ham last time out. The Canaries are in terrible form at a crucial time of the Season and need to turn things around quick if they are to avoid playing Championship football next Season.

Southampton sit top of the Premier League form table with five wins from their last six outings in the League.

Chelsea have turned their Season around under the guidance of Guus Hiddink. The Blues won 5-1 against Manchester City to book their place in the FA Cup Quarter Final on Sunday and will be full of confidence heading into this fixture. With both sides in good form this match should be evenly balanced. All square at St Marys – Back a score draw here.

Stoke Vs Aston Villa
Stoke ended their losing sequence of 3 consecutive matches with a 3-1 win at Bournemouth in Gameweek 25. The Potters have struggled in recent weeks and were in danger of falling out of the Top 10 before the win at Bournemouth. Aston Villa were thrashed 6-0 by Liverpool infront of their own fans at Villa Park last time out. The Villains are rooted to the bottom of the Premier League table with just 12 fixtures remaining and a mountain to climb. Home win expected at The Britannia.
Prediction 2-0
——————————————————————————————————————————————————————
Watford Vs Bournemouth
Watford picked up a big win at Crystal Palace in their last Premier League outing and sit 9th in the Premiership heading into Gameweek 27. Troy Deeney bagged a brace last week and his form has some pundits suggesting a place in the England squad is warranted ahead of Euro 2016. Bournemouth lost their second consecutive match when Stoke visited the South Coast and left with all three points. The Cherries are just four points clear of the drop zone and have plenty of work to do if they are to maintain their top flight status. Home win expected at Vicarage Road.
Prediction 1-0
——————————————————————————————————————————————————————
West Brom Vs Crystal Palace
West Brom picked up an impressive win away at Everton in Gameweek 26 to move them 8 points clear of the Relegation battle raging below them. The Baggies will be targeting 40 points to secure their survival and will hope to move three points closer when Crystal Palace visit on Saturday. The Eagles have been in dire form with just a single point to show from their last six Premier League outings. Alan Pardew’s side side ahead of their hosts on goal difference and could settle for a draw here. Stalemate at The Hawthorns – Back a bore draw here.
Prediction 0-0

Manchester United Vs Arsenal
Manchester United’s Season reached a new low when they were beaten by Danish minnows FC Midtjylland in the Europa League. Louis Van Gaal is under intense pressure with Jose Mourinho widely linked to the managerial job at Old Trafford. The Red Devils face a huge test against an Arsenal side who are in good form ahead of their trip to Manchester. The Gunners are just two points adrift of League leaders Leicester following their 2-1 win in Gameweek 26. Danny Welbeck bagged the winner and could return to haunt his former Club on Sunday. Away win expected at Old Trafford.
Prediction 1-2
——————————————————————————————————————————————————————
Spurs Vs Swansea
Tottenham Hotspur underlined their title credentials with a huge win away at Manchester City in Gameweek 26. Spurs have won five straight Premier League games and sit 2nd in Premiership heading into Gameweek 27. A disappointing defeat in the FA Cup should galvanise Spurs resolve further to push on for glory in the Premier League. Swansea have found the going tough this Season and are battling to keep themselves out of the Relegation Zone. The Swans have picked up creditable results on the road in recent weeks which will give them hope they can get a result from North London. Home win expected at White Hart Lane.
Prediction 2-0
