The battle in opposition to relegation is heating up within the Premier League and there are 5 groups sweating over their prime flight future who will likely be in motion in midweek.
Two of them face one another as Newcastle United host Everton, whereas groups at the moment inside the underside three together with Watford, Burnley and Norwich Metropolis all face troublesome fixtures.
Former Premier League striker and Sportsmail columnist Chris Sutton previews the important thing clashes this week and provides his predictions.
NEWCASTLE UNITED VS EVERTON (7.45PM, TUESDAY)
There are sure to be new signings on present and it's about whether or not they can hit the bottom operating. Can Chris Wooden get his first aim for Newcastle? Will supporters get to see a few of these Bruno Guimaraes expertise which they've been watching in YouTube clips of their new £33million man?
Is Dele Alli able to taking part in like he did in his prime? What about Donny van de Beek? Everton wish to play a extra expansive sport underneath Frank Lampard however proper now, their precedence is to not be dragged down into the relegation race.
They're at the moment on the sting of it. Lose to Newcastle, nevertheless, and they're correctly in it. This sport may go both approach. It's sure to be an in depth contest.
PREDICTION: 1-1
WEST HAM UNITED VS WATFORD (7.45PM, TUESDAY)
Watford received their first clear sheet of the season away at Burnley in Roy Hodgson's first sport. That's what the pragmatist Roy needs to do - make them troublesome to beat, at the start, which is what he wished to do when he grew to become my supervisor at Blackburn in 1997.
Beneath Claudio Ranieri, Watford's gamers would go into video games questioning: 'What number of do you assume we'll concede at this time?' If you're holding clear sheets, you'll decide up factors.
Watford will go to West Ham with a plan to defend and attempt to nick a aim on the counter-attack. However David Moyes is an excellent supervisor. He can have his personal plan and I feel West Ham will edge this.
PREDICTION: 2-1
BURNLEY VS MANCHESTER UNITED (8PM, TUESDAY)
Burnley have at all times discovered a approach out of hassle underneath Sean Dyche however it's beginning to really feel as if their luck is up. It's largely about whether or not Maxwel Cornet and Wout Weghorst can rating sufficient to cause them to security.
Weghorst is a giant lad at 6ft 6in with goalscoring report, although I do know some scouts from different golf equipment have reservations about his mobility. It is going to be fascinating to see how he fares within the athletic and bodily Premier League.
Manchester United will likely be feeling embarrassed after that FA Cup exit to Middlesbrough. You by no means know what you'll get from United from one sport to the subsequent however I count on they may bounce again.
PREDICTION: 1-2
NORWICH VS CRYSTAL PALACE (7.45PM, WEDNESDAY)
Within the reverse fixture at Selhurst Park, you would possibly recall how Crystal Palace took a 3-0 lead and the Norwich supporters determined to create their very own enjoyable. 'Let's fake, let's fake, let's fake we scored a aim,' they sang mockingly, earlier than celebrating wildly within the away finish.
That was the awful midwinter when all hope appeared misplaced. Now, Norwich have given themselves a shot at staying up, primarily by utilizing 4-4-2 underneath Dean Smith.
He tweaked that system of their FA Cup win over Wolves on the weekend, although, so it is going to be fascinating to see what he goes with and if the proficient Billy Gilmour begins.
Palace are a robust aspect, with Conor Gallagher, Michael Olise, Odsonne Edouard and extra. I say this one ends in a draw.
PREDICTION: 1-1
