Robbie Savage's Premier League predictions including Manchester Derby and a big Liverpool win

The Manchester Derby takes centre stage in the Premier League this weekend, with United and City facing off at Old Trafford on Sunday afternoon.

Both teams made their way into the FA Cup quarter-finals in midweek, both claiming comfortable wins over Championship opposition.

Now Pep Guardiola and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer pit their wits against one another once more, having both won on visiting soil this season already in cup competitions (the Norwegian twice!)

But United, having been much improved since the arrival of Bruno Fernandes, will be looking to buck that trend, despite City being in confident mood after a run of wins including the Carabao Cup Final and at Real Madrid .

That game takes place on Sunday afternoon, but before then Liverpool will look to bounce back at home to Bournemouth , having seen their 14 month winning run in the Premier League come crashing to an end at Watford last weekend.

Still 22 points clear at the top of the table, they will be heavy favourites against a Bournemouth side currently 18th.

Elsewhere, Arsenal host West Ham in a London derby as they look to build on successive league wins, but it is Wolves who can move into the top four on Saturday, if they build on back-to-back wins themselves and defeat Brighton at Molineux.

Nuno's side would move briefly into the guaranteed Champions League spots, ahead of the Chelsea meeting with Everton , as Carlo Ancelotti returns to Stamford Bridge on Sunday.

Elsewhere, Sheffield United host Norwich, Watford travel to Crystal Palace and Newcastle go down to Southampton , Tottenham head to Burnley and Leicester host Aston Villa in the Monday night game.
