The Premier League is set for a huge midweek schedule this week, with all three title contenders in action and some big matches in the relegation battle too.
Current leaders Arsenal get things underway on Tuesday night when they host London rivals Chelsea at the Emirates Stadium, but the bulk of the action comes on Wednesday with four matches taking place.
The Merseyside derby between Everton and Liverpool headlines that day, while Manchester United also feature against relegation-bound Sheffield United.
Manchester City will then return to Premier League duties on Thursday night after reaching the FA Cup final at the weekend, rounding off the midweek action away to Brighton & Hove Albion.
Each gameweek, Sports Mole is taking on a famous musician or band in a prediction competition, and this week it is the turn of Public Order's Elis Lloyd-Jones.
