Arsenal will go into the north London derby full of confidence after back-to-back away wins but Tottenham are not without hope because Arsene Wenger’s men have already lost at home twice this season (Arsenal 8/13 match betting v Tottenham).

Harry Redknapp will have Jermain Defoe back in the squad while Arsenal starlet midfielder Jack Wilshere is set for a late fitness test.

As ever with derby matches form does not come into the equation and the home side are tipped to continue their winning run on Saturday lunchtime.

Birmingham may be in the bottom three but they are a much tougher nut to crack at home with just one defeat this term at St Andrew’s.

However there is always the danger of a Chelsea backlash after their incredible 3-0 defeat to Sunderland at Stamford Bridge last time out.

The Blues of west London are capable of beating anyone on the day but we believe this will not be their day with a draw the likely result (draw 13/5).

Blackpool have won only once at home this season while Wolverhampton Wanderers have yet to win away from Molineux but that could all change this weekend at Bloomfield Road.

Wolves have been praised for their performances this term despite not picking up many points but surely their persistence will pay off against an unpredictable Blackpool side who will be without first-choice keeper Matt Gilks (Wolves 9/5 match betting v Blackpool).

Bolton have been the surprise team this season and face a Newcastle side who have also punched above their weight with 18 points from their first 13 games.

There is not much to choose between the clubs in the table but the Magpies excellent away form should see them secure a point at the Reebok Stadium (draw 9/4).

Manchester United could have Wayne Rooney back for the visit of Wigan and this must be the banker of the weekend in the top flight.

The Red Devils have drawn their last two fixtures and rarely will Sir Alex Ferguson’s men go three games without a victory.

Wigan have won only once on the travels and are a different side away from the DW Stadium while United remain a dominant force on their own patch and should win by at least two clear goals (United 11/2 to win 2-0 correct score).

West Brom and Stoke have both garnered 16 points so far this term but the Baggies have not won in four and face a Potters side who have won their last two, including a 2-0 victory over Liverpool.

However Tony Pulis’ men rarely win on the road and a draw seems the likely result here for two sides who will feel that finishing in mid-table obscurity is as good as it gets (draw 11/5).

Finally Liverpool are in desperate need of three points when basement boys West Ham arrive at Anfield on Saturday but will have to do without the services of the inspirational Steven Gerrard, who is out for four weeks.

The Hammers have improved in recent times and are unbeaten in three, and Liverpool boss Roy Hodgson knows that if they lose to the bottom club they will be dragged back towards the relegation zone, which looked a distant memory after three successive victories just a couple of weeks ago.

With Fernando Torres in the side the Reds will be confident of victory, however, and are tipped to win this one by a solitary goal (Liverpool 4/9 match betting v West Ham).
