CHRIS SUTTON offers his predictions for this weekend's action
Manchester United will return to winning ways, Arsenal to drop points at home to Brighton, Aston Villa to beat Tottenham and goodbye Southampton – Mail Sport’s CHRIS SUTTON offers his predictions for this weekend’s Premier League action
- Chris Sutton predicts the scores for another jam-packed weekend of action
- Manchester United will return to winning ways with the visit of Wolves
- An AI supercomputer reveals the updated likely final Premier League standings
The Premier League enters its final three rounds with the title, top four and relegation all to be decided.
However, this weekend will go someway to finalising all three. Arsenal need to win all of their games and hope Manchester City drop four points, though this weekend, with the visit of Brighton, could spell trouble.
Meanwhile, Manchester United will be hoping to return to winning ways against Wolves and stop Liverpool’s top four resurgence dead in its tracks.
At the bottom, Leeds and Leicester know that only a win will do now as relegation draws nearer and nearer.

Sam Allardyce has a tall order on his hands avoiding two defeats from his opening two games
Aston Villa 2-1 Tottenham
Who knows which Tottenham will turn up? Villa would leapfrog Spurs if they win by more than two goals.
I don’t expect that, but I expect a narrow Villa win.
Aston Villa will return to winning ways against Tottenham at Villa Park this weekend
It is uncertain week to week just which Tottenham team will turn up on any given afternoon
Chelsea 2-1 Nottingham Forest
Forest are awful away from home, with just one win all season.
Chelsea are difficult to predict, but surely even they can win this one.

Man Utd 2-0 Wolves
Saturday is the day United bounce back.

Brentford 2-0 West Ham
West Ham should be safe and are now focusing on Europe.
Brentford won the reverse 2-0, and I’ll go for the same again.
West Ham were beaten at home by Brentford earlier this season and will lose again away
Everton 1-2 Man City
Everton’s counter-attacking at Brighton worked to perfection and they will hope those tactics pay off again.
But ultimately the City machine will roll on.
Everton produced their best performance of the season at Brighton but the City machine will roll on
Arsenal 2-2 Brighton
We saw what Brighton did to United when they pressed high, United were chasing shadows.
That is a warning to Arsenal and this will be an open draw.
