Shay Given's fourfold on Newcastle vs West Ham and other Premier League specials

Two teams battling to finish the season strongly and secure a place in Europe for next season.

I think the international break maybe came at a good time for Newcastle and Eddie Howe after a couple of defeats on the road and I fancy them to get back to winning ways here.

St James’ Park is a difficult place to visit and while I can see the Hammers scoring, I think they’ll leave with nothing.

Gary O’Neil has done a fantastic job at Wolves and the fact he has recently been linked to the Manchester United manager position is testament to that.

His side have a tough test on their hands here though with Villa desperate to hold onto that fourth spot.

I’m backing Unai Emery’s men to get the job done at home.

Brentford haven’t won in six games and they haven’t kept a clean sheet in that time either. So it’s plain to see they are struggling a bit.

Man United had that incredible win against Liverpool in the FA Cup and they’ll still feel like they can finish in the Champions League places this season.

But I think Brentford can nick a point in this one.

Arsenal have the best defensive record in the league so far this season and I don’t think we’ll see a repeat of the heavy defeat they suffered at the Etihad last year.

I can see this one being a lot closer. But it’s also that time in the campaign where City really show their credentials and why they are domestic and European champions.

With Kevin De Bruyne well rested from the international break I think he will inspire Pep’s men to a narrow win in a massive game.
