Weekend Games

Rafael Benitez has replaced Steve McClaren as the manager of  second from bottom Newcastle United. Rafa's first game as Magpies manager will be away to the league leaders Leicester on Monday and his second  will be at home to Sunderland, which will be the biggest derby match since last Saturday's North London derby.

Over the next 3 days there will be 5 Premier League fixtures and 3 FA Cup ties. See my predictions below. 3 points for the correct score and 1 point for the right result. I am writing this during the Reading v Crystal Palace match so I am not going to predict the score of this one because that would probably be cheating.


Premier League - Saturday

Norwich City v Manchester City (1-2)

AFC Bournemouth v Swansea City (2-1)

Stoke City v Southampton (2-0)

Premier League - Sunday

Aston Villa v Tottenham Hotspur (1-3)

Premier League - Monday

Leicester City v Newcastle United (2-1)

FA Cup - Saturday

Everton v Chelsea (2-0)

FA Cup - Sunday

Arsenal v Watford (3-2)

Manchester United v West Ham United (1-1)
