What are the latest Premier League predictions for the weekend?
Football on Off the Ball. But I just think there's very little wiggle room for success at Celtic. And I know Hart's at the top of the league at the minute and could easily go on to win it. But I think if you win the league and you win the cup at Celtic, the fans are still going to be saying, well, we need success in Europe. Join in the obsession.

But certainly we're looking to this weekend's football for some help and guidance. Still I'd say Ben Barrett from William Hill is with us.
And we also have green scene purveyors of hopefully good knowledge. Fresh off defeats in the quiz with David and Matthew. Gentlemen, you're welcome. Hello, how are you? Ben, good morning to you. How are you? I'm very good, thank you very much. How are you all doing? Well, I do need to recover from Cheltenham, I'm not going to lie. It has been a bit of a bloodbath. You and me both. You and me both. Don't worry about that. Yeah. This weekend's football is, of course, interesting and I hope there are some opportunities, but there's also loads of stuff that I'm like, I haven't a clue what's going to happen. Chelsea and Newcastle, for example. Newcastle off the high slash low of nearly beating Barcelona. Chelsea off the absolute devastation of being off for 15 minutes and the fact that they don't have a goalkeeper.
So I don't know what's going to happen there. And then the game on Sunday between Manchester United and Villa at 2 o'clock. Man United, Sandro Martinez injured. But Villa off the back of European exploits, but actually feeling good about life for a change. I don't know. I can't tell what's going to happen. Yeah, I suppose it's a really hard one for Manchester United because they don't really play any games of football anymore. At least we can watch Villa on Thursday night and be like, oh, we can see what kind of form they're in. So yeah, United, like last season, I just think of that. That game that Villa were obviously pushing for the Champions League and United done a job on them somehow. I don't think that'll happen this weekend.
It'll be a completely different game. Martínez got sent off stupidly for being an idiot and also the referee illegally disallowed a goal that Morgan Rodgers scored that would have put them on the look. That's what happened, David. They're the facts. They are the facts, but the facts are that Man United won that game and Villa are now in the Europa League. And that's maybe, you know, something from last season that they can kind of think back to because obviously Villa have the extra games and United don't have to play those nonsense Mickey Mouse European competitions. Exactly, that nobody actually... wants to be in even though they try desperately to strive to be there I'm going to run through the fixtures very quickly it's Burnley Bournemouth 3 o'clock kick-off on Saturday Sunderland Brighton 3 o'clock kick-off and then half past 5 it's Arsenal against Everton Arsenal obviously pretty happy with their late equaliser Chelsea Newcastle is also a half-five kick-off on Saturday and then the 8 o'clock kick-off is West Ham versus Manchester City
Again, I mean, obviously you would just expect Man City to roll through, but that just hasn't been happening. Palace-Leeds is a huge game for Leeds if they can get anything from it. It feels like Palace are safe now. Man Utd-Villa, two o'clock kick-off as well. Forest against Fulham. If Forest pick up points there, then the pressure that ratchets up on Spurs at half-past four in officially Igor Tudor's last game against Liverpool on Sunday night. So let's dig into the Liverpool-Spurs game. Ben, what are the markets telling us about what people expect to happen here? I mean, I don't know if anyone else is starting to feel a little bit sorry for Spurs, but it's not going well, is it?
