Everton v West Ham
Southampton v Liverpool
Southampton are in a position where they can go for it in any game - which is why they made a big ricket when they rested a load of players and lost to Sunderland in the FA Cup - so this will be a big test of Liverpool's title credentials ahead of some pretty decent fixtures.
If Liverpool get through this, they are a major, major threat and I cannot see how Southampton will be able to stop Liverpool's attack, even though they have got Luke Shaw, who is a great talent and really deserves his call-up to the England squad. I'm not sure he will go to the World Cup, though.
PAUL PREDICTS: 2-3
Aston Villa v Norwich
Villa are not good at home but they need to win this football match desperately to avoid getting sucked back into danger. Norwich will make it hard, though, because they have a free swing after that great result at home to Tottenham last week and will be full of confidence.
People look at Norwich's last four fixtures- Liverpool, Man Utd, Arsenal and Chelsea - and say they will be tough, but Chelsea might be in the Champions league final, and Arsenal and Liverpool might have nothing to play for, so I don't think they will necessarily go down if they are not safe by then.
PAUL PREDICTS: 2-1 (says my heart)
Swansea v Crystal Palace
I thought Swansea did really well against Napoli in the Europa League and will probably have enough to stay up - and beat Palace. Palace have to work so hard every week to get a result that sooner or later it is going to catch up with them, and it did last week against United.
PAUL PREDICTS: 2-0
Tottenham v Cardiff
If I get it right and Liverpool win, Tottenham will have to win here to stay in the race for fourth - but they will. Cardiff are gone. Shipping four at home to Hull tells you that. I think they made a ricket by appointing Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, someone who doesn't know what to do in a relegation battle.
PAUL PREDICTS: 3-0
