Paul Merson: "I expect Ole Gunnar Solskjaer to make it seven wins on the spin". Best predictions on EPL from Sky Sports's expert

Who will be victorious on Derby Day and will Man United beat Brighton? 

Paul Merson gives his calls for all of those games including the match between Huddersfield and Manchester City.

Saturday

Man Utd vs Brighton

I expect Ole Gunnar Solskjaer to make it seven wins on the spin. They have got the winning bug at the moment. I think they'll concede but Brighton don't carry enough of a threat to outscore them with the likes of Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial in such great form.

Defensively they are not good enough though. I dread to think what the score will be against PSG. They need defenders, if it weren't for bad finishing by Tottenham then it could have been any score. But this should be a routine win.

Paul's prediction: 3:1

Arsenal vs Chelsea

Arsenal have to win this game otherwise it's all in for the Europa League, which may actually help as they can then concentrate on that competition as they'll be out of the top-four race.

There's no way they can balance both - the squad isn't strong or big enough.

I fancy an away win.

Paul's prediction: 1:2


Sunday

Huddersfield vs Man City

Will there be enough light bulbs in the scoreboard? Deary me. This could be any score you want.

Huddersfield have written this game off by sacking David Wagner in the week and announcing the new boss after this game. They've got no manager, are in horrendous form and staring at relegation. The players will be all over the place emotionally too.

If City put their foot down then this could be a major boost for their goal difference. City made Wolves look ordinary - what are they going to do to Huddersfield?

I'll go 5-0 and I'm being kind.

Paul's prediction: 0:5
