Newcastle leads Crystal Palace by three points in the league table, but they have an equal record in their five meetings here: three draws and a win apiece. In light of recent improvement in the Crystal Palace camp, a stalemate is likely as they try to frustrate Newcastle's attacking threats.

Aston Villa has won the only two games against Nottingham Forest this year, though they have lost their last two visits here. Forest's present home woes do not inspire confidence in their ability to continue the home winning form against Villa as of now.

Both sides are in very poor form at the moment, winning none of their last three respective games. However, with Sunderland far ahead and at home, Tottenham can be relied upon to fight for a win, given their precarious relegation battle, which will be none of Sunderland's business. So a draw could be the result.

Chelsea has won just one of five of these fixtures, losing three of the last four. The hosts are presently not in excellent form, which is necessary to counter Man City's relentless attack, so I believe the visitors will likely steal the show at one time or another.

With a perfect home win record for Manchester United and a 60% win rate against Leeds at Old Trafford in their last five meetings and no losses, the hosts have a better chance of winning this game.
