FIXTURE 1: CHELSEA VS SUNDERLAND (Predicted score 1-0)
The club is in total turmoil after the sacking of Jose Mourinho .It would be a strange atmosphere at Stamford Bridge. Sam Allardyce's Sunderland has showed glimpses of improvement after his arrival but has been inconsistent and has lost their last two league games. But Sam's men would fancy their chances against the team which is disturbed mentally right now and try to snatch points from Chelsea who are already having a dismal league run.Chelsea's team has to prove a point to themselves and would try to get the three points at home to be safe from relegation zone.Hoping for a close contest.

FIXTURE 2: EVERTON VS LEICESTER (Predicted score 2-3)
Nothing can stop the high flying foxes at this moment.The table toppers Leicester are having a fairy-tale of a season with the Vardy & Mahrez combo going strong and after beating Chelsea at home they would be confident of getting a positive result at Godison Park. On the other side Everton are finding hard to win games and have drawn the last 3 league fixtures.Everton are playing good attacking football at the moment but are not converting most of the chances created which will prove costly for Martinez's side against the ruthless Leicester side.Expecting a good attacking football match and lot of goals in this game.

FIXTURE 3: Manchester United VS Norwich City(Predicted score 2-0)
After a disappointing loss against Bournemouth Van Gaal's team would like to get back on track with the league race by a win at Old Trafford against a relegation threatened team .Norwich recently have gained some confidence and fighted out well to earn draws against Arsenal & Everton and trying to come off the relegation zone But, to beat United at Old Trafford seems to be a big task for Norwich team although an injury hit defence line of Man Utd looks a bit weak and vulnerable. Predicting a comfortable home win for red devils.

FIXTURE 4:Southampton vs Tottenham Hotspur (Predicted score 1-2)
Southampton are going through a bad run after failing to win their last 4 league meetings.Spurs lost unexpectedly against Newcastle at home and they will try their best to win this game to be in touching distance with the top 4. Tottenham's attack looks better and the saints defence is a bit shaky. It will be an exciting encounter.

FIXTURE 5: STOKE CITY VS CRYSTAL PALACE (Predicted score 1-1)
This is going to be a very close encounter with both the teams having a good run in the league .Padrew's team plays a free flowing football which will be tested by a disciplined and solid Stoke's defence .Stoke has kept cleansheets in their last 3 league outings making them one of the best defensive side of this league. Stoke's attack isn't bad either and they showcased their prowess going forward against a strong Man City side at the Britannia stadium and outplayed them. Crystal Palace's defence looks sound too. Be ready for a amazing tactical game between these two sides.

FIXTURE 6: West Bromwich Albion vs Bournemouth (Predicted score 2-1)
West Brom got a point at Anfield and fought well and defended their heart out. Albions have been grinding out draws against teams after their amazing win against Arsenal at home. Bournemouth have hit the ground running with wins against Chelsea at Stamford and against Man Utd at home last week.The cherries will be confident enough to get more points to stay alive in the epl and to keep themselves away from the relegation zone.This clash between the 13th & 14th placed team in the league could be another interesting encounter.

FIXTURE 7: Newcastle vs Aston Villa (Predicted score 3-0)
Newcastle's sudden surge in form has given a diffrent dimension to the premeir league's unpredictable nature. A win against Liverpool at home and against Spurs at White Hart Lane
has given McClaren's side a much needed confidence and hope to fight it out and to come up the table. Aston Villa on the other hand is finding it hard to cope up with other team in the relegation table and is lying at the bottom of the table with just 6 points.Looks like a Newcastle rout in this game.

FIXTURE 8: Watford vs Liverpool (Predicted score 1-1)
Watford has surprised and exceeded everyone's expectation and are playing amazing football as a unit .3 consecutive wins for Sanchez Florres' side keeps them pretty at7th in the table. Liverpool got a draw at the dying moments of the match against West Brom at Anfield last week ,thanks to the effort of the young Origi.Klopp would expect a much more better performance from his side defensively else his side could be punished by the in form strikers of Watford Ighalo and Deeney and they should be wary about it.Another exciting contest between two teams who are seperated by just 1 point at the table.

FIXTURE 9: Swansea vs West Ham (Predicted score 1-0)
Swansea is another team who is struggling at this moment and is going through a bad run.But a lot of positives could be taken from their last game at the Ethihad against Manchester City where they played the football that the Swansea side are known for.West ham has looked solid defensively for the past few games but they are finding it hard to score goals. West Ham wil try to continue to keep a good defensive shape in this match too and try to attack on counters.A interesting match with Swansea desperately wanting points to keep fighting for survival in the league.

FIXTURE 10:Arsenal vs Manchester City (Predicted score 2-1)
Biggest fixture of this week between two contenders for the title.Arsenal inspite of the injuries are playing outstanding football and is full of confidence after getting into round of 16 of the Champions League and a comfortable away win at the Villa park. City's inconsistency has been a worry this season .After a scrappy win at home against Swansea they would like to give a better performance against their title rivals. Kompany's absence can be a difference between the two teams but, the return of Aguero is expected which will be a boost for the team and when the best striker of the league finds his touch he is a game winner anyday. Long way to go in the title race but still this fixture could just give edge to either of the teams in the quench for the title.
