Selected matches:

Liverpool v Chelsea

Ally: "Chelsea are quite literally all over the place, absolutely all over the place. Shocking against Forest, they've got to do a lot better but I don't see them picking up anything at Liverpool, who are still going for that Champions League place."

Prediction: Liverpool 2-1 Chelsea

Fletch: "Chelsea are in no kind of form, I can't see it improving at Anfield. They need a new manager, they need a rethink, they might need a clear-out, they certainly need this season to end. Liverpool at home are going to be too good for them. I doubt Chelsea will score."

Prediction: Liverpool 2-0 Chelsea

West Ham v Arsenal

Ally: "What a game. Must-win for the two of them, so it will be an absolute cracker. Arsenal, with the results recently, have put themselves in an unbelievable position to go and win the title for the first time in so many years and I think they will put a dent in West Ham's bid to avoid relegation."

Prediction: West Ham 1-3 Arsenal

Fletch: "There's a bit of desperation for West Ham because they've probably got to find seven points from their last nine, so they know they can't lose. With that in mind, I think they might try and get the point against Arsenal because it's an easy game to lose. We might see quite a defensive setup from West Ham. Arsenal have had a lot of emotion in the last few games. Maybe there will be a little bit of a drop-off, so I'm going to go for a draw."

Prediction: West Ham 2-2 Arsenal
