Liverpool vs Newcastle (Mon 20:00 GMT)

All the stats say Liverpool will win this. They’re unbeaten in 14 games against Newcastle home or away. Also, Newcastle with injury problems.

A little bit of pressure is gathering on Eddie Howe. Out of Europe, not sitting too well in the Premier League.

I think they’ve been ahead of their time. There’s no way they should’ve qualified for the Champions League last year. They’ve got lots of injury problems.

I think Newcastle and Eddie Howe, for the first time, are under a little bit of pressure.

They’re going to Anfield where their record is not great. I think Liverpool will win the game, I’m going 3-0 Liverpool win.

West Ham vs Brighton (Tue 19:30 GMT)

West Ham beating Manchester United 2-0, going to Arsenal and winning 2-0 and missing a penalty.

Sixth in the Premier League, winning a European trophy in the calendar year. David Moyes did an unbelievable job – West Ham flying.

Big blow with [Lucas] Paqueta coming off against Arsenal. He’s been one of their best players.

Brighton, on the back of beating Spurs 4-2, this should be a home game. Home advantage will count in this one. David Moyes and his West Ham side to beat Brighton. I’m going with a 2-1 scoreline to the Hammers.
