After a disappointing loss to Manchester United, Liverpool will look to bounce back here against Arsenal, a side that have won 9 of their last 10 league matches. The Gunners are in good form and should be able to see off the Reds, especially at home with their 8 consecutive home victories. Whilst Liverpool have looked stronger in 2015 than they did at the end of 2014, so have Arsenal, and at home I can only see a victory for the team that claimed March's Manager of the Month and Player of the Morth - Arsenal
Prediction: 3-1
Everton vs Southampton
With the Saints chasing European football, Everton will need to be on their guard as Koeman's men look to go marching in to the final eight games of the season. Whilst Southampton's defence has been rock solid all season, we will see how they cope without Fraser Forster, who's unfortunate injury means Kelvin Davis will replace him. Pelle hasn't been on form in the Premier League, but showed against England that he hasn't lost his touch. Southampton need him now if they are to secure a European spot.
Prediction: 0-1
Leicester vs West Ham
If Leicester stay up it will be a huge achievement for the Foxes, and they will hope to begin their push for survival at home today against the Hammers, but I can't see Nigel Pearson's men overcoming Allardyce's team, even though they are in strikingly poor form compared to their flying start to the season,.
Prediction: 0-2
Manchester United vs Aston Villa
This rejuvenated Manchester United side will look to continue their good run of form in a break of a dangerous few games for them. With Spurs and Liverpool beaten, and Manchester City and Chelsea to come, United need this victory to keep confidence high, and with the likes of Rooney and Fellaini playing well I think they can overcome a poor Aston Villa, even though in Villa's last away game they claimed a 4-0 win against Sunderland.
Swansea vs Hull
Looking to set a Premier League points club record, Swansea need just 5 more points to beat their highest ever points tally in a season, and I feel it is almost impossible for them to lose this one. This is still set to be close though, and I think a one goal victory for Swansea or a draw is the most likely result.
Prediction: 1-1
West Brom vs QPR
Prolific English goalscorers Saido Berahino and Charlie Austin square off today at the Hawthorns. Since Alan Irving got sacked, West Brom have kept 6 clean sheets and lost just 3 games, and top goalscorer Berahino clearly loves the Hawthorns, as 15 of his 18 goals have come at home. QPR have conceded the opening goal in 23 of their 30 Premier League games this season, and if they let Tony Pulis's Baggies open the scoring today we could see the goals tumble in. Austin is QPR's only hope today.
Prediction: 3-1
Chelsea vs Stoke
Unbeaten at home this season in the league, the future champions of English football will look to secure a regulation victory against Mark Hughes's side. A tough victory against Hull showed everyone that Chelsea can win the horrible games as well, unlike last season, and will do the same today with an easy win against the Potters.
Prediction: 2-0
