TNT Sports

Just one point separates Ally McCoist and Darren Fletcher as Premier League action returns, with Liverpool hosting Tottenham Hotspur, Chelsea facing Newcastle United and Manchester City heading to West Ham United. Can the 'big six' respond after a UEFA Champions League nightmare in midweek? You know the drill: check out the expert predictions, then make your own picks for this weekend's games.

The Premier League's 'big six' will look to bounce back from a bruising week in the UEFA Champions League as domestic action returns this weekend.

But the spotlight is also firmly on the Ally vs Fletch predictions battle, with just one point separating Ally McCoist and Darren Fletcher after a dramatic Gameweek 29.

McCoist roared into the overall lead for the first time this season last time out, setting up another tight round as our esteemed experts go head-to-head once again.

Despite having six teams in the Champions League round of 16, Premier League sides failed to record a single victory in midweek, with Tottenham Hotspur, Chelsea and Manchester City all suffering heavy three-goal defeats.

Spurs boss Igor Tudor remains in charge despite four defeats in four games, while Liverpool manager Arne Slot will be desperate for a response at Anfield after a 1-0 defeat at Galatasaray when the sides meet on Sunday.

Chelsea imploded late on in a chaotic 5-2 loss to PSG, while Saturday's opponents Newcastle United were denied a memorable win over Barcelona by a late Lamine Yamal penalty.

On TNT Sports, Manchester City will attempt to regroup after their 3-0 defeat at Real Madrid when they travel to West Ham United - who are themselves desperate for points in the fight for survival.

Elsewhere, leaders Arsenal could move 10 points clear - at least for a few hours - when they take on Everton on Saturday, while Manchester United host Aston Villa.

Selected matches:

West Ham v Man City (TNT Sports)

Fletch: "Tricky. I think the fact that Crysencio Summerville isn't playing tips it in Manchester City’s favour. Erling Haaland always scores at the London Stadium."

Prediction: West Ham 1-2 Man City

Ally is backing Man City to win 3-1.

Liverpool v Spurs

Fletch: "I can’t see Spurs getting anything at Anfield. They were really bad in the week [against Atletico Madrid]. Igor Tudor’s still there. Nothing changes."

Prediction: Liverpool 3-0 Spurs

Ally is backing Liverpool to win 3-1.
