BBC Sport football expert Chris Sutton takes on darts star Stephen Bunting with his predictions for this weekend's Premier League fixtures.
Manchester City and Manchester United meet at Etihad Stadium on Sunday, with both clubs desperate for an upturn in form.
"It sort of disappeared out of my life for a while but then I stumbled across the 'Paolo Panini' TikTok channel. "A lot of my family were Blues but my dad was a massive Liverpool fan," he explained. "He started taking me to matches when I was five or six. Martin Odegaard was not as influential as usual, and it showed, but the Gunners were still a threat from set-pieces, which is how they got their goal.
That probably did not work as effectively as they would have liked, other than when Raul Jimenez put them ahead, but I suspect they will go with a similar gameplan at Anfield. I did not like the way Leicester treated Steve Cooper but they have definitely had a bounce since appointing Ruud van Nistelrooy, who has made the start he desired.
I had said Ipswich would get a point against Palace and lose to Bournemouth, but those results still made me think I have been a bit too generous with my predictions for them this season. I don't think they will lose this but I don't want to back against Villa either, so a draw seems like the most likely outcome, doesn't it?
I really admire the job Thomas Frank has done with Brentford because under him they have evolved as a team, and grown as a club. I am not sure the Premier League have thought this through, and they might have opened a can of worms here. Both managers have been criticised recently and some of the stuff written and said about Postecoglou after Spurs lost to Chelsea was staggering, although it is the same after every defeat.
