The weekend kicks off in earnest on Friday night, as Bournemouth host Fulham, with the high-flying Cherries keen to continue their unbeaten run since the second match of the season two months ago. 

On Saturday, Ruben Amorim and Co have a must-win meeting with newly promoted surprise package Sunderland as Manchester United look to wrestle their season back on track, with Arsenal playing West Ham, and Leeds facing Tottenham rounding out the early afternoon action. 

That evening, Chelsea face a tough test against Premier League leaders Liverpool – but will hope that the Reds’ recent disappointments against Crystal Palace and Galatasaray boost their chances on home soil. 

Sunday sees Newcastle welcome Nottingham Forest, Wolves play Brighton, and Aston Villa clash with Burnley, before the weekend’s final crescendo that features Brentford looking for a Manchester double as they faceoff with Man City in the capital. 

Daily Mail Sport’s Tom Collomosse is the next expert for you to try and beat. 

So why don’t you take him on and see if you can win a tasty cash prize? 

Here are his thoughts ahead of the weekend:  

‘Will Liverpool’s mini-wobble turn into something more concerning? Luckily for Arne Slot’s team, Chelsea are hardly on top form themselves though – like his rival in the dugout – Enzo Maresca has the sort of attacking talent most clubs can only dream of. That’s why I’m going for a high-scoring draw in this one.

‘Manchester United surely can’t trip up again in a match they’d have won with their eyes closed under Sir Alex Ferguson. Can they? As well as Sunderland have played this term, all the big moments went in their favour when they won 1-0 at Nottingham Forest and I’m expecting it to be different at Old Trafford as Ruben Amorim clings to his job.

‘Elsewhere, Arsenal should sweep aside West Ham, new manager or no new manager as will Newcastle over Nottingham Forest. Brentford have performed above some expectations this term yet despite that, it is difficult to see them stopping Erling Haaland, who already seems to have the Golden Boot race locked down. 

‘Finally, I’m going for a point apiece between Leeds and Tottenham.’   

We will be back after the weekend to assess all the action, review the leaderboard and get ready for the next weekend of games.
