Sky Sports Paul Merson is back to look ahead to another round of Premier League fixtures, as Newcastle host Sunderland and Manchester City take on Manchester United live on Super Sunday. Its a crucial derby day with Newcastle just one point behind rivals Sunderland as both sides look to escape the drop, while United are four points behind City in the race for the Champions League places.Meanwhile, Leicester continue their bid for a first top-flight title in their history with a trip to Crystal Palace as Tottenham host Bournemouth and Arsenal travel to Everton. Merse correctly predicted three of the five Premier League outcomes last weekend, and also called two FA Cup ties correctly, including a perfect score thanks to Manchester Uniteds 1-1 draw with West Ham. Mersons last predictions Result Merses prediction Norwich 0-0 Man City 0-3 Bournemouth 3-2 Swansea 2-1 Stoke 1-2 Southampton 2-1 Aston Villa 0-2 Tottenham 0-3 Leicester 1-0 Newcastle 3-1 Everton 2-0 Chelsea 2-1 Arsenal 1-2 Watford 2-0 Man Utd 1-1 West Ham 1-1 Reading 0-2 Crystal Palace 1-1 Morgan Schneiderlin lunges for the ball against manchester City Read on to see who Merse is backing this week...Man City v Man Utd - Super Sunday, 4pm, Sky Sports 1 HDManchester City have to win this game! Its all becoming very tight in the race for the top four and Manuel Pellegrinis men are really struggling at the moment. The injuries to Vincent Kompany and Nicolas Otamendi are a big blow, however, I see home advantage being key in this game. Manchester United also have injury problems and a tough game against Liverpool wont help their chances. I see City just edging this one 2-1.PAUL PREDICTS: 2-1 (Sky Bets odds: 15/2)Newcastle v Sunderland - Super Sunday, 1.30pm, Sky Sports 1 HD Costel Pantilimon makes a save during the derby against Newcastle Its a big game anyway but now, with one of these two sides definitely going down, its a massive, massive game. If Rafael Benitez hadnt moved to St James Park I would have made Sunderland a certainty. Now, its a very difficult game to call. I watched Newcastle on Monday night and they looked a completely different side. Watching them against Bournemouth and then against Leicester, the difference was startling. The organisation was better but also, the players seemed to give a lot more. I really did fancy Sunderland for this but Newcastle have shown glimpses of promise already under Benitez. I cant split the two sides; its a 1-1 draw for me.PAUL PREDICTS: 1-1 (Sky Bets odds: 5/1)Swansea v Aston Villa - Saturday Night Football, 5.30pm Andre Ayew celebrates his winning goal against Aston Villa I cant see Aston Villa getting anything out of this game. Its just a matter of time before they are relegated and Swansea will move them a step closer to the Championship with victory at the Liberty.In the process, Swansea should confirm their top-flight status by taking all three points against the bottom side.PAUL PREDICTS: 2-0 (Sky Bets odds: 11/2)Everton v Arsenal - Saturday, 12.45pm Seamus Coleman and Alexis Sanchez battle in the reverse fixture at the Emirates Stadium You just never know what Everton side are going to turn up! One minute they are brilliant and then the next theyre not. It was a great result in the FA Cup against Chelsea and reaching the semi-final is a major boost for Roberto Martinez, however, before that result they havent been great at home. On the other hand, I thought Arsenal did well against Barcelona and they will be hoping to translate that form to the league. A draw is no good to either side here but I dont think theres much between the sides. Im going for a 1-1 draw.PAUL PREDICTS: 1-1 (Sky Bets odds: 11/2)Chelsea v West Ham - Saturday, 3pm Andy Carroll celebrates his goal against Chelsea back in October Chelsea will be desperately trying to stop Slaven Bilics side reaching the Champions League when the two sides meet at Stamford Bridge. West Ham are right in the hunt for European qualification but to get a result at Chelsea they will have to play from the first whistle. In recent weeks theyve only come alive when theyve been behind. They came back from 2-0 down against Norwich and they did the same at Everton, before going on to seal all points. They cant afford to give Chelsea a head start. Again, theres not a lot between these two sides and Im going for another 1-1 draw.PAUL PREDICTS: 1-1 (Sky Bets odds: 11/2) Play Super 6! Enter the Soccer Saturday Super 6 game NOW Crystal Palace v Leicester - Saturday, 3pm Jamie Vardy was on the scoresheet earlier in the season against Crystal Palace Im backing Palace here. I think Alan Pardews side will beat Leicester.The Foxes did not look like a team at the top of the league on Monday night. I know they ground it out but if they play like that for the rest of the season they wont win the league. People will say its good sign that they won playing below par, but they will drop points if they continue to perform like that in the remaining eight games. Theyve punched well above their weight all season but I can just see Palace beating them thanks to a 2-1 scoreline.PAUL PREDICTS: 2-1 (Sky Bets odds: 10/1)Watford v Stoke - Saturday, 3pm Watford beat Stoke 2-0 at the Britannia earlier in the season Beating Arsenal to reach the semi-finals of the FA Cup was a massive result for the club. But what do they do now? Do they rest some of their players in the league with a date at Wembley just around the corner?Meanwhile, Stoke appear to be getting better away from home which is extremely unusual for them. With all that in mind Im picking an away win by two goals to one.PAUL PREDICTS: 1-2 (Sky Bets odds: 10/1)West Brom v Norwich - Saturday, 3pm In-form Salomon Rondon celebrates scoring his teams first goal against Norwich Norwich picked up a good point against Manchester City last week and Im sure Alex Neil would take a point again at West Brom. However, the hosts are unbeaten in eight matches at home in all competitions.In contrast, Norwich are on a run of six straight defeats on the road in the Premier League and I can see that extending to seven at The Hawthorns.Tony Pulis side just know how to get the job done and for that reason Im backing a 1-0 home win.PAUL PREDICTS: 1-0 (Sky Bets odds: 5/1)Southampton v Liverpool - Sunday, 1.30pm Philippe Coutinho is tracked by a number of Southampton players during their 1-1 draw earlier in the season Southampton have had some superb results in recent weeks. Their form has completely turned around. Liverpool will have put a lot of effort into their Europa league clash with Manchester United at Old Trafford on Thursday. It will certainly take a lot out of them so Im predicting a 2-1 Southampton win.PAUL PREDICTS: 2-1 (Sky Bets odds: 9/1)Tottenham v Bournemouth - Sunday, 4pm Harry Kane will be looking to get on the scoresheet against Bournemouth again Bournemouth are safe now. I always find the teams that are safe are a dangerous proposition because they go out and express themselves. However, if the result goes the way I expect between Crystal Palace and Leicester then Tottenham will have a chance to go just two points behind the league leaders. In my opinion they would not let that chance slip so Im backing them for a 2-1 victory at White Hart Lane. However, Mauricio Pochettinos side will have to be wary. Bournemouth will give Spurs a very tricky game.PAUL PREDICTS: 2-1 (Sky Bets odds: 7/1)PLAY SUPER 6!Theres another £250,000 jackpot up for grabs in the latest round of the Soccer Saturday Super 6 game.

Coming off of its first home loss in nearly two years, sixth-ranked Virginia has a quick turnaround when it plays host to East Carolina on Tuesday night.The Cavaliers fell to No. 25 West Virginia 66-57 on Saturday afternoon and suffered just their third loss at home since the 2013 season. The other two losses came at the hands of Duke and Wisconsin.The loss to West Virginia ended a 24-game home winning streak and a five-game home winning streak against ranked opponents.Virginia played its worse game of the young season as they turned the ball over 14 times, allowing the Mountaineers to convert 18 points off of those turnovers. East Carolina enters Tuesdays matchup with a 7-2 record but against opponents that are not to the level of the Cavaliers.The Pirates do have a solid defense that is allowing just under 60 points per game and should challenge a Virginia offense that has sputtered in their last two games.The Cavaliers have scored just 120 points combined in their last two, and the Pirates will give them their moneys worth on the defensive end and on the glass. East Carolina is averaging 44 rebounds per game, which ranks them in the top 10 in the country in that category.Not many words were said. Guys were just upset. Coach Bennett said, Its not the end of the season. Learn from this, grow from this. He didnt think the effort was poor. We just need to fix a few breakdowns, and well learn from it and get better, Virginia freshman guard Ty Jerome said after the Cavaliers loss to West Virginia.ddddddddddddJerome played 10 minutes in Virginias loss on Saturday and helped break the Mountaineers press in the Cavaliers four-guard lineup. Despite not scoring, Jerome showed he will continue to see minutes as a freshman with his ability to take care of the basketball.Guard Darius Thompson had his best game of the season with 14 points and was the only Cavaliers player to score in double figures.Guard London Perrantes was just 2 of 10 from the field as he struggled against a West Virginia defense that knew it had to key on him. Tuesdays game against East Carolina should give the senior a chance to bounce back and get his shooting on track.Asked how much he sees his opponents key on him, Perrantes said, A lot. I feel like I get everybodys best now, with Malcolm 1/8Brogdon 3/8 and Anthony 1/8Gill 3/8 being gone. I just have to get used to it.It is early in the season and Im not used to it, but we have guys that can step up and help me and help the team, so Im not worried too much about it.East Carolina is led by guard Caleb White, who is averaging 15 points per game in 33 minutes played per game this season. White dropped 20 points in the Pirates 69-57 win over North Carolina Central on Saturday and he will be key for the East Carolina offense against Virginias packline defense.
