Manchester United and Everton will be looking to return to winning ways in the Premier League when they do battle at Old Trafford on Saturday lunchtime.
The two teams meet for the first time since November last year when the Red Devils secured a 3-0 victory at Goodison Park, where Alejandro Garnacho scored arguably the goal of the season with a spectacular overhead kick.
We say: Manchester United 2-1 Everton
Man United and Everton are under pressure for different reasons to pick up precious points from now until the end of the season, and while both teams will fancy their chances of claiming a positive result on Saturday, the Red Devils will be regarded as favourites to come out on top.
The onus will be on the hosts, potentially boosted by the return of Hojlund, to take the game to Everton in front of a fired-up Old Trafford crowd, and we believe that they will ultimately find a way to breach what has recently become a leaky Toffees backline to claim a slender victory.

Bournemouth vs. Sheff Utd (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Making a welcome return to enemy territory, a beleaguered Sheffield United side head south to face Bournemouth in Saturday's Premier League game at the Vitality Stadium.
The Blades ended up on the wrong side of English football history in a 6-0 dismantling at the hands of Arsenal on Monday, prior to which the Cherries ended their winless streak in a 2-0 beating of Burnley.
We say: Bournemouth 3-0 Sheffield United
Sheffield United have had more to shout about on the road than at home in the early stages of 2024, but an injury-hit crop also bereft of confidence could prove easy pickings for the Cherries on Saturday.
Iraola's men have not just rediscovered their winning feeling, but a killer instinct in front of goal, and the hosts should ease any lingering demotion worries while speeding up the Blades' inevitable return to the Championship.

Crystal Palace vs. Luton (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Bottom-half Premier League battlers Crystal Palace and Luton Town will both endeavour to right the wrongs of last weekend in Saturday's top-flight clash at Selhurst Park.
The Eagles succumbed to a Tottenham Hotspur fightback in a 3-1 loss to the Lilywhites in gameweek 27, before the Hatters suffered an excruciating 3-2 defeat to Aston Villa.
We say: Crystal Palace 3-1 Luton Town
A threadbare Luton deserve plaudits for the manner of their fightback against Champions League-chasing Aston Villa, and no matter who Edwards's men are faced with, the Hatters always have a goal in them and have now scored in 10 successive fixtures.
However, Luton's prolific streak in front of goal has recently been rendered meaningless due to their abysmal defensive showings, something which Palace should take full advantage of as Glasner continues his perfect start at home.

Wolves vs. Fulham (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Two sides on opposite ends of 3-0 scorelines in last weekend's Premier League fixtures clash in Saturday's mid-table battle at Molineux, as Wolverhampton Wanderers take on Fulham.
Gary O'Neil's men were convincingly beaten by Newcastle United in gameweek 27, while the Cottagers put three past a meek Brighton & Hove Albion without reply.
We say: Wolverhampton Wanderers 1-2 Fulham
Despite falling short in the capital four months ago, Wolves are yet to suffer a Premier League home defeat to Fulham, whose lack of away shut-outs could prove somewhat costly at a ground where O'Neil's men usually need no help putting the ball in the back of the net.
The absences of Hwang and Cunha were sorely felt against Newcastle, though, and with Fulham possessing a fully fit and firing talisman of their own in Muniz, the Cottagers have our vote to take home all three points, end their Molineux hoodoo and leapfrog their hosts in the table.

Arsenal vs. Brentford (Saturday, 5.30pm)

Goal-happy Arsenal can temporarily rise to the summit of the Premier League table on Saturday evening, when they host London rivals Brentford at the Emirates Stadium.
Mikel Arteta's rampant troops demolished Sheffield United 6-0 on Monday night, prior to which the Bees shared the spoils with West London neighbours Chelsea in a 2-2 stalemate.
We say: Arsenal 4-1 Brentford
An out-of-sorts Brentford side missing two of their first-choice centre-backs should not be expected to put up much of a fight against the scintillating attacking unit of Arsenal, who also have vengeance on their minds after the events of last season.
The Gunners are not entirely watertight in defence at the Emirates, offering hope to a Brentford outfit who have scored multiple goals in three of their last four away matches, but Arteta's men will surely overwhelm an injury-hit Bees outfit to top the standings.
