Man Utd v Man City
KEY STAT: Man Utd have been leading at half-time and full-time in their last nine home matches
United lost their unbeaten record at Wolves but their home form is exceptional and they can bounce back against local rivals City. Roberto Mancini’s side have taken just two points from their last three away games and a lack of ambition on the road could cost them again. RECOMMENDATION: Man Utd
Sunderland v Tottenham
KEY STAT: Sunderland have conceded 21 of their 31 goals in the second half
Sunderland suffered a bruising 3-2 defeat at Stoke last time out and they may struggle to break down a solid Tottenham defence. Spurs have lost only once in their last 14 league games and they should hold firm at the Stadium of Light. RECOMMENDATION: Draw
Arsenal v Wolves
KEY STAT: Arsenal have won their last 11 matches against Wolves
Wolves have lost ten of their 12 away matches in the Premier League and it is difficult to see them getting anything from the trip to Arsenal. The Gunners somehow let a 4-0 lead slip against Newcastle last time out but they should win an entertaining game here. RECOMMENDATION: Arsenal to win 3-1
Hull v Preston
KEY STAT: 13 of Hull's 15 home league games have featured under 2.5 goals
Big-spending Hull are getting stronger with every match and they should have no problems against bottom-of-the-table Preston. New strikers Matty Fryatt and Aaron McLean scored five goals between them at Sblankhorpe last week and the Tigers look home bankers. RECOMMENDATION: Hull.
