Unbeaten in the league since early January,\u00a0Bournemouth<\/a>\u00a0welcome an out-of-form\u00a0Sunderland<\/a>\u00a0side sitting four places below them in the\u00a0Premier League table<\/strong><\/a>, aiming to clinch victory in Saturday\u2019s gameweek 28 match.<\/p>\n

The visiting Black Cats have fallen to three straight defeats \u2014 as many as they lost in the previous 12 \u2014 highlighting the uphill challenge facing\u00a0Regis Le Bris\u2019s team ahead of this weekend\u2019s visit to one of the division\u2019s in-form sides.<\/p>\n

We say: Bournemouth 2-0 Sunderland<\/p>\n

Sunderland have conceded three goals in each of their last three away matches, with those nine accounting for nearly half of the 20 they have let in on their travels.<\/p>\n

An in-form Bournemouth side should take advantage of the Black Cats\u2019 ongoing defensive frailties away from Wearside, while the visitors\u2019 goal-shy nature on the road further underlines the Cherries\u2019 status as favourites for a win on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Two Premier League teams still harbouring aspirations of qualifying for Europe butt heads at St James\u2019 Park on Saturday, as\u00a0Newcastle United<\/a>\u00a0play host to\u00a0Everton<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Magpies celebrated their first away league win of the season when they beat the Toffees 4-1 in the reverse fixture at the Hill Dickinson Stadium in November.<\/p>\n

We say: Newcastle United 1-1 Everton<\/p>\n

Newcastle and Everton have both won two, drawn two and lost two of their last six Premier League meetings. There is little to separate these two sides, so a closely-contested battle could be in store this weekend.<\/p>\n

The Magpies will be regarded as slight favourites on home soil, but considering their recent league results at St James\u2019 Park and Everton\u2019s stronger away form, we are backing the Toffees to come away from the North East with a point.<\/p>\n

Seeking to strengthen their hopes of qualifying for the Champions League,\u00a0Liverpool\u00a0welcome relegation-threatened\u00a0West Ham United\u00a0to Anfield for a Premier League clash on Saturday afternoon.<\/p>\n

The Hammers will be out for revenge against the Reds after suffering a 2-0 defeat in the reverse fixture at the London Stadium three months ago.<\/p>\n

We say: Liverpool 2-1 West Ham United<\/p>\n

West Ham have looked a much stronger outfit since the turn of the year and Nuno\u2019s side have the credentials to frustrate Liverpool in what could prove to be a tighter contest than many expect.<\/p>\n

Liverpool\u2019s Premier League home form has been mixed (W4 D3 L3), but they should still be regarded as favourites given their historical dominance in this fixture. If some of their key attackers can rediscover their form here, you would expect Slot\u2019s men to get the job done.<\/p>\n

Looking to secure another positive result against a London club,\u00a0Burnley<\/a>\u00a0welcome\u00a0Brentford<\/a>\u00a0to Turf Moor on Saturday, aiming to match their longest unbeaten\u00a0Premier League<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0run this term by avoiding defeat in gameweek 28.<\/p>\n

Scott Parker\u2019s team earned a\u00a01-1 draw\u00a0at Chelsea last weekend, following a\u00a03-2 victory\u00a0over Crystal Palace, and the relegation-threatened side now hope to inflict back-to-back defeats on the Bees, whose three-match unbeaten run was ended by Brighton & Hove Albion in gameweek 27.<\/p>\n

We say: Burnley 0-2 Brentford<\/p>\n

Parker\u2019s men have developed a knack for staying in games and could frustrate Brentford if they successfully navigate the opening exchanges.<\/p>\n

However, with the Bees chasing a potential European spot and currently boasting the league\u2019s strongest away record over their last five such matches, the Londoners are likely to eke out maximum points at Turf Moor.<\/p>\n

Premier League title hopefuls\u00a0Manchester City\u00a0will be seeking to shrink the gap at the summit when they travel to Elland Road to face\u00a0Leeds United\u00a0on Saturday evening.<\/p>\n

The two teams reconvene three months on from an\u00a0entertaining five-goal contest<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0at the Etihad Stadium where the Whites were undone by\u00a0Phil Foden\u2019s stoppage-time strike despite their second-half fightback.<\/p>\n

We say: Leeds United 2-2 Manchester City<\/p>\n

Man City, who have won their last two away league meetings with Leeds, travel to South Yorkshire as favourites and their recent form should give them confidence of securing another vital result as they bid to increase the pressure on title rivals Arsenal.<\/p>\n

However, we feel that this fixture could be a potential banana skin for the Citizens, as Leeds have shown how much of\u00a0a handful\u00a0they can be against the top teams in the division, especially when the crowd is rocking at Elland Road. Goals are to be expected, but City may not prevail on this occasion.<\/p>\n
