Aston Villa's recent form has been far from sparkling since the start of the year with three of their four home losses occurring over the last two months. Their FA Cup exit to Newcastle was far from convincing; however, the red card may be mostly to blame.

Leeds have been resilient in recent weeks and have used this trait to grind out results when needed; losing only two of their last 15 matches across all competitions.

Score Prediction: Aston Villa 1-1 Leeds

West Ham and Bournemouth both go into this match in relatively good form. West Ham have won five of their last seven games across all competitions and have received two red cards across that period, whilst Bournemouth are unbeaten in their last six Premier League outings.

Both teams have shown weakness in defence, even from leading positions, with West Ham frequently dropping points from winning positions, as showcased in their last Premier League bout v Man United.

Score Prediction: West Ham 1-2 Bournemouth

Man City go into this match as favourites, having won 10 of their 13 home games this season, and having already done a double against Newcastle this season, in the EFL Cup. Meanwhile, Newcastle have only won three of their 13 away games in the Premier League this season.

Despite their convincing victory against Qarabag in the Champions League, Newcastle's Premier League form doesn't inspire as much confidence, with only one win from their last five, losing three.

Score Prediction: Man City 3-1 Newcastle

Nottingham Forest massively impressed in midweek, handing Fenerbahce their heaviest defeat of the season, and new boss Vitor Pereira will hope that is a sign of good things to come. Forest racked up 23 shots and four big chances worth 2.74 xG - they really could have scored more goals. Defensively, they were also spot on, January signing Stefan Ortega only had to make two saves all game.

Liverpool have had plenty of time to rest and prepare with an eight-day break since their convincing performance against Brighton last time out. While they haven’t fared well against Forest in recent years, failing to win any of the last three head-to-head encounters, they have looked strong in the final third in recent games. The Reds have bagged 20 goals in their last seven matches across all competitions, winning five of those games.

As they aim to continue their top four push, I think Liverpool will continue to show the same resilience they've been impressive with recently and make it three wins on the bounce.

Score Prediction: Nottingham Forest 1-2 Liverpool

Sunderland recovered well from their 1-0 defeat to Liverpool last time out in the Premier League by getting past Oxford in the FA Cup. That defeat at the Stadium of Light represented the first loss that Sunderland have suffered at home in the Premier League this season - a remarkable achievement for a newly promoted side.

Fulham’s recent form will also encourage Sunderland, they come to the Stadium of Light having lost each of their last three matches in the Premier League. However, Fulham did manage to beat Sunderland when the sides last met, with Marco Silva’s side running out 1-0 winners in that clash, thanks to a late strike from Raul Jimenez.

Both sides will be missing two key midfielders for this one, with Granit Xhaka nearing a return but not yet available and Fulham's Sasa Lukic also out, a player you would ideally want holding things down in midfield away against a team who have lost one game at home all season.

Fulham's issues away from home and Sunderland's home record this season are just too glaring to go against, so I think the Black Cats will edge this on.

Score Prediction: Sunderland 2-0 Fulham

It's eight games without a win for Spurs, who now find themselves in a relegation scrap. While they deserve some sympathy for the injury crisis they are currently having to deal with, defensive performances have been really poor, and Spurs have shipped multiple goals in each of their last six league matches, including against both Burnley and West Ham.

Arsenal have now dropped points in five of their last seven Premier League matches, and they come into this clash under a bit of pressure. Despite that Spurs have not won a North London Derby in their last seven attempts and have not won in the league since December. It's hard to see their poor run of form ending here, and what better way for Arsenal to silence some doubters than with a dominant derby day win.

Score Prediction: Tottenham 0-3 Arsenal
