Ally and Fletch are predicting more pain for winless Wolverhampton Wanderers when they head to Arsenal, as the TNT Sports duo return with their latest Premier League predictions.

Arsenal shook off last weekend's dramatic defeat to Aston Villa with a comfortable UEFA Champions League win over Club Brugge - and will now look to reassert themselves at the top when Wolves visit The Emirates, live on TNT Sports and discovery+ from 19:00 on Saturday night.

Elsewhere, Arne Slot’s Liverpool secured a much-needed - and slightly controversial - Champions League victory over Internazionale in midweek. They will hope that momentum carries into their clash with Brighton & Hove Albion on Saturday as they push to steady their domestic form.

On Sunday, the Tyne-Wear derby returns to the Premier League for the first time since 2016, as Sunderland and Newcastle United face off with just a solitary point separating them. Both are in the early mix for the European places, adding extra spice to an already fierce rivalry.

Fletch was spot on in tipping Villa to trouble Arsenal last weekend, stretching his lead at the top of the predictions table. But with a packed festive schedule ahead, there's still plenty of time for Ally to mount a charge in the late weeks of 2025.

Selected matches:

Arsenal v Wolves (TNT Sports)

Ally: "You can't see anything other than a home win, can you? Let's be honest about it. Wolves just can't buy a win, I really feel for them. I think it's going to be three points at The Emirates for the Arsenal."

Prediction: Arsenal 3-0 Wolves

Fletch: "Wolves are awful. There's no light at the end of the tunnel and they could end up being the worst team in Premier League history. If Arsenal don't win this, I don't know what they'll do."

Prediction: Arsenal 5-0 Wolves

Sunderland v Newcastle

Ally: "What a game this is going to be, let me tell you. I was at the last one not so long ago in the FA Cup, when Newcastle were far too strong at the Stadium of Light. I'm not too sure that's going to be the case this game. I can see a high-scoring draw."

Prediction: Sunderland 2-2 Newcastle

Fletch: "I think Sunderland at home, roared on by the crowd, the first big derby back in the Premier League, will just give them that bit extra. Obviously Newcastle were in Germany against Leverkusen in the week, so that might take its toll. With a bit more freshness, I like Sunderland to win."

Prediction: Sunderland 2-1 Newcastle
