Selected matches:

West Ham v Sunderland (TNT)

Ally: "A really good game to look forward to. West Ham are coming off a brilliant, much-needed result against Spurs - they are definitely a better team when Callum Wilson plays. That said, Sunderland have been one of - if not the - success stories of the season. I saw them win 2-1 at Chelsea this season and that's exactly the same scoreline I'm going for here."

Prediction: West Ham 1-2 Sunderland

Fletch: "It's a massive day for West Ham. You can't win at Tottenham and then blow it at home against Sunderland if you want to stay in the Premier League. I don't mean that disrespectfully to Sunderland, but it's a big day for West Ham. But I just think Sunderland will be too good for them."

Prediction: West Ham 1-2 Sunderland

Arsenal v Man Utd

Ally: "What a game we've got. Manchester United put in a performance that was probably their best in a long, long time against Manchester City. They were excellent and I thought Bruno Fernandes was outstanding. However, I'm going for the team that I think will be champions at the end of the season."

Prediction: Arsenal 3-1 Man Utd

Fletch: "United were better under Carrick in the derby. Can they do it again? Can they make it back-to-back performances? I don't think they're quite ready for that. I think it'll be competitive, but I'll go for Arsenal."

Prediction: Arsenal 2-1 Man Utd
