BBC Sport football expert Chris Sutton takes on Ride's Andy Bell & Steve Queralt to make predictions for this weekend's Premier League games.
Liverpool's title hopes suffered a huge blow when they lost the Merseyside derby in midweek, but how will Premier League leaders Arsenal fare when they travel across town to play north London rivals Tottenham on Sunday?
"I know I'm a latecomer but I do feel I get away with that slightly because, when I started going regularly, it was not exactly the glory years. It was more when Arsene Wenger was on his long goodbye, so not such a fun time to be an Arsenal fan. "For me they were really dark years where the football was dreadful and there was a toxic atmosphere.
"It was the same thing at Fulham in March when we lost heavily as well. Both of those games were bizarre because we had no imagination, no creativity and hardly managed a shot at goal - it was just dreadful. I don't see that happening but Liverpool have just got to look after themselves now and try to beat West Ham.
In contrast, Fulham have lost three of their past four games but, if this is the kind of game I expect it to be, I have a feeling they will halt the Palace charge. The Clarets' results have improved too - they have only lost one of their past seven games, and would have picked up more than 10 points if not for some costly goalkeeper errors.
Luton's approach is to be brave, and I understand that, but the Bees could have scored eight or nine and Wolves are good enough to expose those frailties too.that Luton boss Rob Edwards will be manager of the season if he keeps them in the Premier League, and I stand by that - but he is up against it now.I am backing Wolves. I know they are not on a good run but whenever I've seen them this season, they have played really well.
I am not sure what is going on with Bees striker Ivan Toney, because he was on the bench for a couple of games before missing the win over Luton with a hip injury, but they don't seem to need him at the moment. Tottenham can move level with Unai Emery's side in fourth place if they win their games in hand but I'd much rather be in Villa's position. They have all the momentum at the moment, and look full of confidence too.Villa are kind of steamrolling their way to fourth spot now, and I also could not wish anything but the worst for Chelsea.
It will still be really keenly contested, but the Gunners have a great balance in attack and defence and that might give them the edge. Nottingham Forest have shown us plenty of times before that they can be stubborn at home - including when Chris WoodThe crowd is going to be raucous, contesting every decision that goes against Forest after the outcry from the club over the officiating inThe officials did get one of the three incidents in question wrong, because Ashley Young's challenge on Callum Hudson-Odoi was a penalty.
