Newcastle v Sunderland (Saturday, 12:45pm)
The latest instalment of the Tyne-Wear derbies! These games are usually a cracker and this one should be no different especially as this is one the passionate derbies you will ever see in football.
While Sunderland fans will be feeling more optimistic after Yohan Cabaye's departure from Tyneside and Loic Remy's suspension at Norwich, Alan Pardew still has very good players at his disposal.
I don't think Newcastle are a Champions League team but they can reach that level if Mike Ashley spends money to improve them.
And yet, they are comfortable in eighth place right now while their Wearside rivals are going to Wembley for their Capital One Cup final in March and are in the last 16 of the FA Cup.
But league and cup form goes completely out of the window in derbies. Newcastle have lost their two meetings with Sunderland but I see that coming to an end on Saturday.
Gus Poyet may have beaten Pardew in their last three meetings but they have been at his team's ground. He has yet to face him at St James' Park as a manager.
Still, they did grind out a crucial win against Stoke which a vital preparation for a game like this and there is no reason why they cannot do the double over the Magpies.

Although Sunderland fans will probably disagree with me, I am going for a Newcastle win.
Score: 2-1
West Ham v Swansea (Saturday, 12:45pm)
Sam Allardyce must be delighted with his side's determination in their 0-0 draw at Chelsea, considering they looked fully committed to the cause, which had come into question previously.
That type of result can really help thier self-confidence and belief, not to mention their woeful season. Andy Carroll has returned but it will take a while for him to settle back into the Premier League rhythm.
Swansea are not exactly the ideal side to play in this situation either! They haven't been as slick and stylistic as they were last season but they have got back on track with a midweek home victory over Fulham.
I think this tie will end all square but I wouldn't be surprised if the home fans celebrated a win at full time because of the great result at Stamford Bridge.
Score: 0-0
Cardiff v Norwich
Preferably this match will be settled by how both teams play rather than a controversial goal as what happened at the end of the reverse fixture at Carrow Road.
Since then, Cardiff have obviously changed their manager and Norwich are steadily improving.
Still, Chris Hughton's will have to improve their peformance levels against Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's team, as the Canaries were outplayed in large parts of their draw with Newcastle.
But they at least didn't get beat and their problem has been scoring goals but they have tightened up at the back without conceding a goal in their last two league games.
Cardiff did give their best at Old Trafford in midweek but I think they will get the win here which can take them off the Premier League basement.
Score: 2-1
Everton v Aston Villa
Although I expected Liverpool to win the Merseyside derby, I didn't expect the scoreline to be that comfortable!
Everton just had one of those off days even though it was the worst day to have it but I think they should bounce back against Aston Villa.
VIlla themselves had a derby this week but quite a different outcome. It showed the character Paul Lambert has got in his dressing room after the first 10 minutes when they went 2-0 down to come back and win 4-3.
That result will give them more belief of getting a result here but Roberto Martinez's side should be too strong for them, especially at Goodison Park where they have only lost once this season.
Score: 3-1
Fulham v Southampton
Fulham have been on a bad run recently, although in fairness they have had to travel to Arsenal and Swansea. The game that really exposed their problems was the 4-1 home defeat to Sunderland.
Raul Meulensteen still has an aging squad and they need some youth with pace soon. I still don't think they will go down as there are worse teams in the Premier League but this game isn't likely to be an easy ride for them.
Mauricio Pochettino's men got a fully deserved result against Arsenal especially with the way they made the Gunners look average in the first half.
But Dani Osvaldo has been banned for his training ground clash with Jose Fonte and if he carries on like this then he needs to leave as he will bring everyone else down.
But the way they played in midweek showed they won't let that play on their minds as long as there is football to be played, and the Saints are some of the best footballers around at the moment in my opinion.
Score: 1-1
Hull v Tottenham
Hull were pretty unfortunate in both of their meetings at White Hart Lane this season, losing thanks to penalties, quite literally.
Although they have suffered back-to-back defeats, I don't think they are in serious danger of getting relegated as Steve Bruce is an experienced manager who, despite how his time at Sunderland ended, does know how to manage in the top flight.
As for Tottenham, I think Tim Sherwood will be glad to see the back of free-scoring Manchester City after their 5-1 humping in midweek.
Their defence usually isn't as bad as that but they were outplayed all over the park. Although I would back them to win this one, I see Hull frustrating them at the KC Stadium.
Score: 2-2
Stoke v Man Utd
Like Hull, I don't expect Stoke to be in any danger of relegation even after their setback at Sunderland. The positive for Mark Hughes though is they still had a go at the Black Cats even when reduced to 10 men and I expect them to have a go at Manchester United.
Still, this game could have come at the worst time for them, with new signing Juan Mata shining against Cardiff and with Robin Van Persie and Wayne Rooney coming back from injury.
David Moyes has made a masterstroke in signing the Chelsea outcast as he is the type of player who can change a game and against Cardiff he alone lifted the mood at Old Trafford.
The title race was over weeks, if not months, ago as far as United is concerned but they can still make the top four. Liverpool, Tottenham and Everton are still vulnerable in the race for Champions League qualification and United are still in the competition as well.
Score: 0-1
West Brom v Liverpool (Sunday, 1:30pm)
I do feel slightly sorry for the Baggies after being 2-0 up against Aston Villa who then ended up on the wrong end of a 4-3 scoreline.
From the neutral it was a cracking match but Pepe Mel will want to put that result behind him and respond against Brendan Rodgers' side who are on the back of a thumping Merseyside derby win.
Sturridge and Suarez are proving to be unplayable and Liverpool in general have a very good side so West Brom will need to watch that.
I doubt the game will be as open as the 4-1 reverse at Anfield but if Liverpool turn up the heat as they did against Everton they can win this game comfortably. However, I see West Brom earning a draw.
Score: 2-2
Arsenal v Crystal Palace (Sunday, 4:00pm)
Arsene Wenger should know that his side's 2-2 draw at Southampton won't be a slip-up in their quest for the Premier League title.
They were severely outplayed in the first-half and responded well only to be pegged back. Still, Manchester City only drew there this season and many good teams will struggle to win at St Mary's.
Although this seems like a home banker, Crystal Palace have won their last two league games against Stoke and Hull and will be confident.
Given how they started under Ian Holloway, Tony Pulis has given the Eagles a fighting chance of survival, which shows how tight the bottom half of the table can be.
I don't back them to get anything here but Palace are on a good run at the moment.
Score: 3-1
Man City v Chelsea (Monday, 8:00pm)
Chelsea already won the reverse fixture at Stamford Bridge earlier in the season but this is their biggest test yet and if they can get a result here then they can win the league.
Man City's home form has been incredible and they have scored 16 goals past Manchester United, Tottenham and Arsenal alone.
And I think the visitors will go initially to not lose aka "19th century football" which he accused West Ham of on Wednesday.
What were the Hammers going to do at Stamford Bridge? Push everyone forward and have no defence at the back?
Besides, what were his tactics at Old Trafford and the Emirates Stadium? Playing for a draw and they drew 0-0 both games.
I think this will also be City's toughest home game yet this season and I back them, even without Sergio Augero, to win it…just!
Score: 2-1
