Sunderland vs Southampton (Sunday 2am AEDT)
The resurgence of Southampton has been spectacular again this season. Over the past two seasons they have sold their best players and again they maintain to be more than competitive in the premier league. They are undefeated in their past five matches which includes three wins.
Meanwhile Sunderland have struggled all season and their only win comes against a 10-man Newcastle that was dominating them prior to the sending off. Their defence was dismantled last week as Everton put 6 past them and they will be under similar pressure this week against Southampton.
TIP: Southampton @ $1.80 with Sportsbet
West Ham vs Everton (Sunday 2am AEDT)
This match will have a lot of repercussions on the teams goals of reaching the Europa League for next season. Everton and West Ham have both had a tough draw throughout the opening 11 weeks as they have faced the top five sides with the Hammers getting the best of the strong opposition. However, when the Toffees have played the softer teams they have come away with the three points on every occasion.
These two sides are very evenly matched with a lot of attacking prowess whilst still showing a lot on the defensive side. It should be a very open style of football played with both sides looking to claim the three points. The match will be very close and the team behind will snatch a late equaliser.

Aston Villa vs Manchester City (Monday 12.30am AEST)
Villa sit on the bottom of the table with just the four points after 11 matches this season. They have leaked double the amount of goals then they have scored and it will be a daunting task for them to come up against the ladder leaders.
City have been without Sergio Aguero for four weeks now and they have copped relatively well without their main man up front. They had a bit of a scare last week against Norwich City but they still managed to come away with the victory and they will have an easier task against Aston Villas’s defence and this one could turn ugly for the home side.
TIP: HT/FT City/City @ $2.18 with Crownbet
Arsenal vs Tottenham (Monday 3am AEST)
This London derby will have a lot at stake as Arsenal attempt to keep up with City and Tottenham are looking to crack into the top four. Both of these sides are coming off midweek European matches with the Gunners being embarrassed in Germany by Bayern Munich whilst the Spurs were able to pick up a victory in the Europa League.
The home side has been dominant in the Premier League as they have picked up maximum points in their last 5 matches as their attack has been blossoming with four of those wins coming by 3 goals whilst they were forced to scrap out a win against Everton.
Meanwhile the Spurs haven’t suffered a loss since their first match against Manchester United in week 1 and are on a two game winning streak. This match will be close and end in a similar fashion to their last meeting at this ground, in a draw.
