Wolves v Leicester City, 8.30pm: Wolves have aligned frugality at the back with potency in attack of late as they look to gatecrash the top four. Leicester's win over Randers on Thursday will provide a shot in the arm to the Foxes' confidence. Prediction: Wolves 2, Leicester 0. Getty Images

SATURDAY: 4.30pm (UAE) - West Ham United v Newcastle United: Newcastle are on a roll; unbeaten in their last five matches including three wins on the spin, Eddie Howe's team look like they may pull off the great escape. Kieran Trippier's injury is a huge blow, but the Magpies should be good for at least a point against an inconsistent West Ham. Prediction: Newcastle 1, West Ham 1. Getty Images

Arsenal v Brentford, 7pm: Brentford announced their arrival to the big time by beating the Gunners 2-0 on their Premier League debut in August. The honeymoon period is over for Thomas Frank's side, though, with four defeats in their last five. Arsenal are four points off fourth with games in hand on all those above them. They need to inflict revenge to aid their Champions League qualification hopes. Prediction: Arsenal 3, Brentford 1. Getty Images

Aston Villa v Watford, 7pm: Defeat to Newcastle last time out left Villa manager Steven Gerrard raging, and he will be looking for a vast improvement against a Watford side struggling to survive. Hard to see the Hornets picking up points on the road. Prediction: Aston Villa 2, Watford 0. Getty Images

Brighton & Hove Albion v Burnley, 7pm: Draw specialists Brighton followed up victory over Watford with a defeat at Manchester United. The Seagulls will be without talismanic captain Lewis Dunk, who saw red in the 2-0 defeat at Old Trafford, which bottom-club Burnley will hope to capitalise on. Prediction: Brighton 0, Burnley 1. Getty Images

Crystal Palace v Chelsea, 7pm: Chelsea return from their trip to Abu Dhabi where they were crowned world champions with a tough trip across town to Crystal Palace. The Blues have lost ground on leaders Manchester City, and are unlikely to get much change out of an obdurate Palace. Prediction: Palace 1, Chelsea 1. Getty Images

Liverpool v Norwich City, 7pm: Liverpool pulled off a sensational win in midweek at Inter Milan and ride a four-game win streak into this Premier League encounter. Norwich tend to suffer more than most against the league's big hitters and Saturday's trip to Anfield will be no different. Prediction: Liverpool 4, Norwich 0. Getty Images

Southampton v Everton, 7pm: A comeback win over Tottenham sandwiched draws against Manchester United and Man City as Southampton have started to claw their way back into the top half of the table. Everton's win over Leeds last time out was their first under Frank Lampard and halted a run of six leagues games without a win. Prediction: Southampton 2, Everton 1. Getty Images

Manchester City v Tottenham Hotspur, 9.30pm. Spurs rode their luck to pull off a smash-and-grab victory when City visited the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on the opening day to top the league season, but fortunes have been reversed since. City top the table by nine points and their journey to another Premier League title will only continue at the Etihad. Prediction: Man City 3, Spurs 1. Getty Images

SUNDAY: Leeds United v Manchester United, 6pm: Rumours of a dressing-room power struggle paint a picture of a Manchester United side at odds with itself. Cristiano Ronaldo's return has been portrayed as underwhelming and troublesome, but no one else in the squad has come close to his nine Premier League goals this season. Leeds have a golden chance to test United's unity. Prediction: Leeds 1, Manchester United 1. Getty Images
