This weekend's Premier League action is shaping up to be a thrilling one, with the highlight being the highly-anticipated match between Liverpool and Manchester City at Anfield. As we all know, Pep Guardiola's side has been struggling lately and another defeat at Anfield, which has proven to be a difficult ground for them in recent years, is something they simply cannot afford.
However, there are other exciting matches to look forward to as well. Arsenal seems to have found their rhythm again and will be aiming to close the gap at the top to six points. But West Ham, fresh off a surprise win against Newcastle, will be feeling confident and determined to continue their winning streak.
As always, our Betfair Ambassador Alan Shearer is here to give us his expert insights and preview the weekend's action. Let's take a closer look at some of the matches he's highlighted.
First up, Brighton will be hosting Southampton. Brighton has been on a good run of form, securing a win against Bournemouth last weekend. On the other hand, Southampton put up a strong performance against Liverpool. But with Brighton playing at home, Alan believes they have the edge and predicts a win for them.
Next, we have Wolves facing Bournemouth. Wolves had a great result last weekend, coming back from a 1-0 deficit to score four goals. With the impressive form of Matheus Cunha, Alan predicts a home win for Wolves.
Crystal Palace will be facing Newcastle, who suffered a shock defeat against West Ham on Monday night. Crystal Palace has shown some vulnerability, but after their strong performance against Aston Villa, Alan predicts a draw for this match.
In the match between Nottingham Forest and Ipswich, Alan was particularly impressed with Ipswich's performance against Manchester United. However, he believes the home advantage will give Nottingham Forest the edge and predicts a win for them.
Brentford will be facing Leicester, who recently made the surprising decision to part ways with their manager Steve Cooper. Alan was taken aback by this decision and believes the timing was questionable. He predicts a home win for Brentford.
West Ham will be facing Arsenal, who have been boosted by the return of Martin Odegaard. West Ham had a great result against Newcastle, but Alan believes Arsenal's quality in attack will secure them the win.
Chelsea will be facing Aston Villa, who have been struggling in recent matches. Alan predicts a win for Chelsea, who have been on the rise and looking strong.
Tottenham will be facing Fulham, and after their impressive win against Manchester City last weekend, Alan believes they will have too much quality for Fulham to handle. He also hopes this win will give Spurs the consistency they have been lacking.
Manchester United will be facing Everton, and Alan believes United will have the home advantage and just about scrape the win, although he expects it to be a tough match.
And finally, we have the highly-anticipated match between Liverpool and Manchester City. With City's poor form and Liverpool's strong attack, Alan predicts a win for Liverpool at Anfield.
