Selected matches:

Bournemouth v Sunderland (TNT Sports)

Ally: "Sunderland look as though they are having a little bit of a wobble. Beaten 3-1 at home to Fulham last week. I think this game will be tight, I really do, but I see the home side just edging it."

Prediction: Bournemouth 2-1 Sunderland

Fletch: "Difficult one to call. Sunderland, even though their form has dipped, are still difficult to beat. But I probably make Bournemouth favourites at home. I just think the better form is with them at the minute."

Prediction: Bournemouth 2-0 Sunderland

Arsenal v Chelsea

Ally: "What a game, dear me, Arsenal vs Chelsea. Discipline again cost Chelsea last week at home to Burnley, the sending off of Fofana cost them dearly. Their form has been alright though, but I just think the pressure on Arsenal is absolutely massive, and I can see them coming up with the goods. Home victory."

Prediction: Arsenal 3-1 Chelsea

Fletch: "I'm going to be watching this with fascination to see whether Chelsea actually have a go. They didn't have a go away at Arsenal in the semi-final of the Carabao Cup. I think Chelsea would like nothing more than to put a spanner in the works of Arsenal's title charge - but I just don't feel like they are good enough against the very best. So I'm going for an Arsenal win."

Prediction: Arsenal 2-0 Chelsea
