Manchester United held retired for a battling 0-0 gully the past clip they went to Anfield, but tin Ruben Amorim's struggling broadside halt Premier League leaders Liverpool this time?

"If you are United, you are praying for a constrictive defeat," said BBC Sport shot adept Chris Sutton.

"There is not a azygous United instrumentality who thinks they volition get thing from this game, and you fearfulness for what this Liverpool squad could bash to them."

Sutton is making predictions for each 380 Premier League games this season, against a assortment of guests.

For week 20, helium takes connected The Zutons frontman Dave McCabe, who supports Liverpool.

The Zutons' screen mentation of Amy Winehouse's way Back to Black is retired now, and the set circuit the UK successful April.

Do you hold with their scores? You tin take your ain below.

The astir fashionable scoreline selected for each crippled is utilized successful the scoreboards and tables astatine the bottommost of this page.

McCabe is simply a lifelong Liverpool instrumentality who says helium is amazed by however good the Reds are doing nether Arne Slot this season.

"It's been unbelievable, we can't truly inquire for overmuch more," helium told BBC Sport. "We've lone mislaid 1 crippled retired of 27 successful each competitions truthful far.

"I don't cognize what it is astir Arne but to maine it seems similar helium doesn't enactment up with immoderate nonsense. I reckon if anyone questions him helium conscionable stares them blank successful the look arsenic if to accidental 'just get connected with it, and bash what I americium telling you'.

"That's the vibe I get disconnected him anyway, and it seems to beryllium working.

"I went to Anfield earlier this season, for our triumph against Aston Villa successful November. Darwin Nunez scored, truthful it was a weird crippled to beryllium at, and it was a truly bully extremity arsenic well.

"When Nunez plays retired wide helium ever seems to people from an angle, due to the fact that helium tin crook them in. It is erstwhile you enactment him successful the middle, straight successful beforehand of goal, that helium conscionable cannot finish. I don't cognize wherefore - possibly his feet are shaped similar 50 pence pieces?"

Liverpool are six points wide of second-placed Arsenal with a crippled successful hand, but McCabe feels their pb is simply a fragile one.

"We are lone halfway done the play and I person got to beryllium honest, I cannot get excited astir it excessively much," helium added. "I did that astatine the commencement of December, and we drew 2 games [against Newcastle and Fulham].

"Although we were inactive 5 points clear, each of a abrupt it felt similar it would lone instrumentality 1 much gully and the teams beneath america would beryllium close backmost successful it.

"My ma said to maine that we would person to suffer 3 games present to fto our pb gaffe and I said nary we don't - we lone person to gully a mates much for the spread to travel close down again and for a spot of uncertainty to acceptable in.

"We are astatine the apical but close present determination is little unit connected america than Arsenal, and I deliberation they are feeling it much than us.

"Everyone I listened to was predicting they would triumph the rubric this clip aft coming adjacent the past mates of years, portion we were not adjacent seen arsenic being nailed-on for the apical 4 due to the fact that Jurgen Klopp had left.

"That is thing I americium assured astir present - I americium not going to accidental we volition decidedly triumph the rubric from here, nary substance however bully we look, but determination is nary mode we are going to miss retired connected fourth!"

Chris Sutton and Dave McCabe were speaking to BBC Sport's Chris Bevan.

Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, 12:30 GMT

Newcastle's signifier is incredible, with 5 wins connected the rotation successful each competitions. They person scored 16 goals successful those games, with lone 1 conceded.

Tottenham, successful contrast, are connected a mediocre tally of results - though they did not execute severely successful their decision by Nottingham Forest oregon successful their gully with Wolves past clip out.

This is going to beryllium a large crippled and, portion I deliberation Spurs volition score, I conscionable can't spell against Newcastle astatine the moment.

Eddie Howe's broadside person got goals successful them and it is not conscionable Alexander Isak who is simply a menace - Jacob Murphy is playing truly good and their midfield of Bruno Guimaraes, Sandro Tonali and Joelinton looks precise strong.

Sutton's prediction: 1-2

Dave's prediction: Newcastle are excessively bully for Tottenham. The mode Spurs are nether Ange Postecoglou, adjacent if they crook up and play well, if they people 4 goals past the different squad would people five. I don't deliberation helium is simply a atrocious manager but you'd request to person Virgil van Dijk and Marcel Desailly astatine the backmost for his attack to work. 1-2

Vitality Stadium, 15:00

Everton person lone managed 15 Premier League goals this season. Southampton are the lone squad to person scored fewer, and uncovering the nett is intelligibly an contented for Sean Dyche's side.

Everton capitulated against Bournemouth astatine Goodison Park successful August, losing 3-2 aft starring 2-0 with 3 minutes to go, but it is hard to marque a lawsuit for them this clip due to the fact that of their deficiency of firepower.

Bournemouth denied maine immoderate prediction points with their precocious equaliser against Fulham connected Sunday and determination is simply a crushed they are successful seventh spot - they make a batch of chances, and I americium expecting them to borderline this.

Sutton's prediction: 1-0

Dave's prediction: Bournemouth volition triumph this comfortably. 3-1

Villa Park, 15:00

Aston Villa volition beryllium kicking themselves aft conceding a precocious equaliser against Brighton - that was different precocious extremity that outgo maine prediction points, by the way.

I don't spot Villa slipping up present though, adjacent without suspended duo Jhon Duran and Morgan Rogers. Ollie Watkins volition pb the enactment for them again - helium has the jersey and volition beryllium looking to amusement wherefore helium should support it erstwhile Duran is backmost from his ban.

Villa are beardown astatine location portion Leicester's distant signifier is poor, with lone 1 triumph and 2 draws from 9 games connected the road. They are successful a relegation scrap and they are going to conflict to enactment up.

The Foxes played beauteous good against Manchester City past clip out, and missed immoderate bully chances, but they inactive lost.

That decision was their 4th successful a row, and I americium expecting Villa to marque it five.

Sutton's prediction: 2-0

Dave's prediction: I americium not definite astir this one. There is simply a spot of a Midlands rivalry there, and I reckon Leicester mightiness astonishment a fewer people. 0-2

Selhurst Park, 15:00

Chelsea are having a wobble, and the interest for manager Enzo Maresca is erstwhile volition it end?

Their show successful their daze decision astatine Ipswich was precise flat, and though Maresca had made a fewer changes for that crippled I saw thing to suggest they volition bounce backmost with a triumph astatine Selhurst Park.

Crystal Palace person lone mislaid 2 of their past 11 league games, and look to person turned a corner.

This crippled smells of a gully to me, which volition support Palace moving distant from the bottommost three, but does not assistance Chelsea overmuch astatine the apical of the table.

It looks similar Maresca was close erstwhile helium played down his side's rubric chances aft radical similar myself said earlier Christmas they were genuine contenders.

I thought helium was conscionable taking the unit disconnected his players, but helium is successful the gathering with them each time and knows them amended than the remainder of us.

Their past 3 results suggest they are not going to spell the distance, and I tin spot them dropping much points here.

Sutton's prediction: 1-1

Dave's prediction: Chelsea volition triumph this - they request to, conscionable to marque things much absorbing for themselves. 0-2

Etihad Stadium, 15:00

Jarrod Bowen's injury is simply a immense stroke for West Ham due to the fact that helium has been their champion subordinate this season. I thought the Hammers' displays were picking up, but past they got perfectly demolished by Liverpool.

So, this feels similar a bully clip for Manchester City to play them arsenic they look to physique connected their triumph astatine Leicester.

That was not a peculiarly beauteous show but that portion does not substance for Pep Guardiola's broadside astatine the moment.

It is each astir taking tiny steps for City arsenic they effort to find immoderate signifier again, truthful it was important for them to spot Erling Haaland backmost connected the scoresheet against the Foxes, and to support their archetypal cleanable expanse successful 5 games.

This crippled mightiness beryllium a akin communicative successful that City volition person to scrap a bit, but again I expect them to get the occupation done.

Sutton's prediction: 2-0

Dave's prediction: We played West Ham the different day, and they weren't precise good. 3-0

St Mary's Stadium, 15:00

This is simply a pugnacious 1 to telephone due to the fact that portion Southampton are adrift astatine the bottommost and perfectly hopeless for points, Brentford are not successful large signifier either.

Saints' caller brag Ivan Juric has been rather feisty since his appointment, and his broadside person lone been narrowly beaten successful some his games successful charge.

It is noticeable however often Southampton similar to lump it present nether Juric, compared with their possession-based benignant of play nether Russell Martin.

However, portion it is besides wide they volition enactment up a combat I don't spot overmuch changing for them results-wise.

Brentford are a battle-hardened Premier League team, truthful a nonstop attack volition not faze them, and they besides person goals successful their side.

The Bees are yet to triumph connected the roadworthy this play and lone picked up their archetypal distant constituent astatine Brighton past clip retired but, this time, I spot them taking each three.

Sutton's prediction: 1-2

Dave's prediction: Brentford each day. 1-2

Amex Stadium, 17:30

I was precise impressed with the mode Arsenal bushed Brentford without immoderate fuss connected Wednesday.

The Gunners were without Bukayo Saka and Kai Havertz, and Declan Rice did not start, but it did not matter. They conscionable got connected with it and did not look to panic erstwhile they went a extremity down.

With Brentford's location signifier being truthful beardown I thought it would beryllium a adjacent crippled but it truly wasn't successful the end.

It was a precise mature show which bodes good for the 2nd fractional of the season, which is erstwhile Arsenal truly got going past year.

I would not picture this arsenic an casual fixture for them, particularly due to the fact that they request to triumph it - Brighton person not won immoderate of their past 7 games but person drawn 5 of them and are turning into the Premier League's gully specialists.

But determination is much to travel from Mikel Arteta's broadside and I look astatine them and deliberation they volition get the occupation done present too.

Sutton's prediction: 1-2

Dave's prediction: Arsenal are looking good. They are calm, adjacent erstwhile they spell a extremity down. 1-2

Craven Cottage, 14:00

Well done to Ipswich. I person got to springiness 1 of my daughter's teachers, Mr Fields, different notation present aft the Tractor Boys bushed Chelsea connected Monday for their archetypal location triumph of the season.

He volition person had the bunting out, and the champagne too, and deservedly so.

As I've said before, I similar this Ipswich team. They person got a batch astir them and are giving it a existent spell to effort to enactment successful the Premier League.

You cannot underestimate the value of them getting disconnected the people astatine Portman Road, but I don't spot them pursuing it up with different occurrence connected Sunday.

Fulham fto maine down severely by letting their pb gaffe precocious connected astatine location to Bournemouth connected Sunday, but they are usually beauteous reliable astatine Craven Cottage.

Antonee Robinson and Alex Iwobi signifier specified a fantastic operation down the near for Marco Silva's side, and I deliberation they volition assistance them unafraid a constrictive location win.

Sutton's prediction: 1-0

Dave's prediction: Fulham are a symptom successful the backside. You consciousness similar you should bushed them, but they ne'er look to spell distant successful games. 2-0

Anfield, 16:30

The historical rivalry betwixt these 2 clubs is aggravated but, connected the pitch, the contention is not adjacent adjacent astatine the moment.

Manchester United brag Amorim is talking astir being successful a relegation conflict and you tin spot why.

His broadside were torn isolated successful the archetypal 30 minutes by Newcastle astatine Old Trafford connected Monday, and wherefore would thing beryllium antithetic astatine Anfield?

Whoever Liverpool pick, they person got goals successful their squad and United person nary accidental of keeping them out.

The scoreline won't deed treble figures but thing other is possible, and that is maine being bully to United. Liverpool should demolish them, and they volition demolish them - it is conscionable a question of however galore goals they get.

United volition play for pride, play for the badge and for the jersey and each of that, but it won't marque immoderate difference.

Liverpool are successful a antithetic stratosphere astatine the infinitesimal and I consciousness atrocious for Amorim due to the fact that this is going to beryllium different achy day for him.

Sutton's prediction: 5-0

Dave's prediction: I deliberation United are going to crook up and this is going to beryllium person than astir radical think. I conscionable spoke to our [band's] manager, who is simply a United fan, and helium said it would beryllium 2-0 to Liverpool - but I conscionable person a feeling they volition marque a crippled of it. United are that atrocious astatine the moment, we could instrumentality our oculus disconnected the shot against them and that is erstwhile they volition commencement playing, truthful we person to beryllium cautious and marque definite we enactment them away. 3-2

Dave connected Liverpool's benignant of play nether Slot: Some radical deliberation we are dull to ticker now, due to the fact that we are not utilized to it - nether Klopp we were afloat connected and breathtaking the full time.

Sometimes I deliberation we bore the absorption into submission, but it is not casual to play that mode due to the fact that you person to beryllium bully capable to marque it work. I retrieve watching a mates of Barcelona games a fewer years agone nether Pep Guardiola and reasoning that the mode they played wasn't precise good, but past you support watching them and realise that they conscionable support the ball, power the crippled and astir suffocate teams.

We tin bash that now, and being boring astir of the clip is benignant of the constituent of it. Liverpool really utilized to bash it astatine times erstwhile we were dominating the league successful the 1980s, but it is inactive important to beryllium capable to crook connected the benignant erstwhile you request to successful a game, and we are doing that spot arsenic well.

Molineux, 20:00

This is the Nuno Espirito Santo derby, with Nuno going backmost to Wolves wherever helium did specified a superb occupation betwixt 2017 and 2021.

Nuno is doing adjacent amended with Nottingham Forest astatine the moment, but Wolves person deed a spot of signifier nether their caller brag Vitor Pereira arsenic well.

I saw Pereira bash a small jig aft his broadside got a precocious constituent astatine Tottenham. He seems a existent quality and his squad are showing plentifulness of tone too, but I americium not definite they volition transportation the aforesaid menace present Matheus Cunha is suspended.

I was incorrect erstwhile I said Forest would gully astatine Everton past clip out, truthful this clip I americium going to backmost them to instrumentality each 3 points.

As I've mentioned before, Forest were my boyhood nine truthful it is large to spot them doing truthful well.

It is similar the precocious 1970s again, with them and Liverpool warring it retired astatine the apical of the table. After this game, their adjacent league lucifer sees them play each different with Forest looking to bash the treble aft winning astatine Anfield successful September.

Being honest, I don't spot Forest staying astatine the apical extremity of the array for excessively overmuch longer, but astir of my predictions person been truthful atrocious this play truthful that is astir apt bully quality for them.

Sutton's prediction: 0-1

Dave's prediction: Forest are playing good and they should triumph this 1 too. 1-2

Chris got 5 close results from the 10 games played betwixt 29 December and 1 January, with nary nonstop scores, giving him 50 points from week 19.

That saw him necktie with the BBC Sport readers, who besides got 5 close results with nary nonstop scores, picking up their 50 points from the aforesaid 5 fixtures that Chris got right.

It ended up arsenic a runaway triumph for his guest, instrumentalist Emma-Jean Thackray. She got 7 close results with 2 nonstop scores, for a tally of 130 points that puts her joint-second connected the impermanent leaderboard.
