Frank Lampard v José Mourinho. Third against first. Chelsea against Spurs.

This one has got mind games, drama, controversy and pure unbridled Premier League chaos written all over it.

Anything could happen at Stamford Bridge but for the visitors in particular, it is another big chance to claim another major scalp and stamp their title credentials.

And everyone’s favourite new Instagram sensation would love nothing more – fans there or not.

📊 Fun fact: Incredibly, Spurs have won just one of their last 34 away games against Chelsea in all competitions (a 3-1 win in April 2018), losing 22 and drawing 11.

🔮 Our prediction: Chelsea 1-2 Tottenham


Potential upset 😨

Southampton v Manchester United

We’re not really sure that this should count as an upset.

But if you see the oddsmakers, it is Southampton who are tabbed as underdogs for this one – and considerable ones at that.

They’re in terrific form though, losing just one of their last eight games, while you always feel another bad result for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is never that far away, particularly as he juggles continental commitments.

Four of the last five meetings between these sides have ended level, showing how tough it has been to split these two of late.

📊 Fun fact: Saints forward Theo Walcott has scored three goals against United, with all of them coming at different venues. He’s yet to do so at St Mary’s …

🔮 Our prediction: Southampton 1-0 Manchester United


Easiest 3️⃣ points

Leicester v Fulham

No team has conceded more goals this season in the league than Fulham.

Leicester, meanwhile, have put October’s mini blip behind them (last week’s understandable defeat at Anfield aside) to get back on form.

Jamie Vardy will fancy having a field day against the Cottagers at the King Power.

📊 Fun fact: Leicester haven’t lost to Fulham in any of their last three home meetings, while the visitors have picked up just one point on the road this season.

🔮 Our prediction: Leicester 4-0 Fulham


Too close to call 🤔

West Brom v Sheffield United

Both these sides are in desperate need of the points.

After nine games, the Blades sit bottom with just one draw so far, while West Brom are just two points ahead of them in 19th.

This has an early relegation six-pointer written all over it and who knows what to expect.

📊 Fun fact: This is the first ever Premier League meeting between these clubs, making it the 885th different fixture contested in this competition.

🔮 Our prediction: West Brom 0-1 Sheffield United
