Arsenal and Manchester City resume their Premier League title battle this weekend - but there is another scrap grabbing attention: Ally vs Fletch. The TNT Sports commentary duo, who are predicting every game in the top-flight this season, are incredibly locked at 194-194 after 31 gameweeks. Think you know more than our experts? Make your picks for this weekend’s games in our polls below.
It is ridiculous. After 309 matches of the Premier League season, Ally McCoist and Darren Fletcher are dead level in their head-to-head predictions standings.
With a costume forfeit and fancy dinner on the line, will either of them be able to pull away this week?
There are huge clashes at both ends of the table. At the top, leaders Arsenal face Bournemouth on Saturday lunchtime - live on TNT Sports and HBO Max - while in-form Manchester City head to Chelsea on Sunday knowing only a win will do for their title hopes.
At the bottom, Tottenham Hotspur could drop into the relegation zone without even kicking a ball.
If West Ham United beat basement side Wolverhampton Wanderers on Friday night, Spurs will travel to Sunderland needing a result to climb out of the bottom three. And as you will see below, Ally and Fletch are not quite ready to believe in the Roberto De Zerbi revolution.
You know the drill by now: check out the expert picks, then make your own predictions for the weekend’s games below.

Selected matches:
Arsenal v Bournemouth (TNT Sports)
Ally: "A massive result for Arsenal in midweek to stop the rot a little bit. I just can't see anything other than a comfortable win in a game they have to win."
Prediction: Arsenal 3-1 Bournemouth
Fletch: "I'm starting to be a little bit concerned for Arsenal. I think there's a lot of focus on them this weekend, but I don't think people realise that Bournemouth haven't lost in 11 Premier League games, which is their joint longest run as a top-flight team. I fancy Arsenal to drop a couple of points."
Prediction: Arsenal 1-1 Bournemouth
Chelsea v Man City
Ally: "Manchester City's recent form has been excellent. A good victory against Arsenal in the Carabao Cup, then a wonderful performance against Liverpool in the FA Cup - as good as I've seen City in years. That's why I'm going for a City win here."
Prediction: Chelsea 1-3 Man City
Fletch: "City are on a roll, peaking at the right time. They know they've got to win, while there's no Enzo Fernandez for Chelsea. Strange one that, and I think City keep rolling."
Prediction: Chelsea 1-3 Man City
