Tottenham, host of Manchester City, will host again Saturday noon – less than three days after the Spurs eliminated them from the Champions League – but who will win this time?
Mark Lawrenson, BBC football expert, said: "The city will have something to prove, so I do not think Wednesday's result is good news for Liverpool.
"If City did not look for the title, I think the atmosphere at Etihad Stadium could have been a bit flat, but I'm sure City players and fans will get an answer."
Lawro makes predictions for the 380 leading matches this season against a variety of guests.
This week he is against a supercomputer – called "RED & # 39; – which has been programmed to predict the meetings of this weekend.
The complex model was developed by experts from the University of Reading and uses a sophisticated measurement that takes into account historical results, directional changes and even travel distances for each team to calculate the most likely results.
Mr. James Reade, economist at the University of Reading and lead designer of the computer model, said: "The task of treating Lawro in his specialty area is usually supported by a celebrity, but this weekend is the brightest period for our model.
"The program is called RED & # 39; and we decided to embark on a legend of the Reds.
"We are confident that this will provide a stern test to Lawro and that he hopes to win the battle in the battle between man and machine."
You can watch the full feature on Football Focus Saturday at noon, Paris time on BBC One and the BBC Sport website.

PREDICTIONS OF LAWRO
All shots 15:00 French time, unless otherwise indicated.
SATURDAY
Man City v Tottenham (12:30 BST)
City will probably not be as open as this Wednesday night: they can not afford to invite chaos this time.
With Harry Kane injured, City had to know that the Spurs would like to play on the break, so I did not understand why Fernandinho had not started, because his game was to protect their backs to four.
City has enough players who can win the game without being so enthusiastic, and I thought they had missed the Brazilian midfielder during this crazy opening period when Son Heung-min had scored twice.
So I think Fernandinho will start on Saturday and, if he's patrolling in those deep midfield areas, I think City will control the game this time way better than midweek.
The prediction of Lawro: 2-0
The prediction of RED: 2-0
Bournemouth v Fulham
Both teams have returned to form with good victories in the last defeat – and it is good to see signs of life in Fulham after their relegation.
The Cottagers have the worst outside record in the top category, so it's hard to see them follow with another positive result this weekend.
I support Bournemouth to score and score even more goals.
The prediction of Lawro: 3-0
The prediction of RED: 2-1
Huddersfield v Watford
Watford will feel that they should have pulled something out of Monday's match against Arsenal – and they would surely have done it if they had not been reduced to 10 men for 80 minutes.
Troy Deeney will miss this game in suspension because of his red card against the Gunners, and I just have the feeling that Huddersfield will pinch something.
The Hornets have one month before the FA Cup final and this will affect the thinking of their players.
It's the penultimate match of Huddersfield at home of the season, so they will not lie down easily and, if they wish, I think they will get something out of it.
The prediction of Lawro: 1-1
The prediction of RED: 0-1
West Ham v Leicester
I was surprised to see Leicester lose against Newcastle last week and the Foxes did not really create a lot of good chances either.
West Ham will be much more open, which will go well in Leicester, but if the Hammers play as they did against Manchester United last time, I think they will win.
The Hammers suffered their third consecutive loss to Old Trafford on Saturday, but I think they were a little unlucky.
Their manager, Manuel Pellegrini, just hopes that his team will finally find some consistency, because we know what quality they have.
The prediction of Lawro: 2-1
The prediction of RED: 1-0
Wolves v Brighton
Brighton are in free fall. They are out of the FA Cup and without a point or goal in their last four league games, and it is difficult to see them change things in Molineux.
It's a bad time to be on such a bad pbad, and the Brighton run-in, which sees them playing in Tottenham, Newcastle, Arsenal and Manchester City, is not a good omen for them.
Many Seagulls fans say it reminds them of their relegation since 1983, when they have done better than this season and reached the FA Cup final, but have dropped – and, for the moment, things are not do not go well for them. .
The prediction of Lawro: 2-0
The prediction of RED: 1-0
Newcastle v Southampton (5:30 pm BST)
I've recently seen quite a lot of Southampton, and they play well. They are not quite safe yet, but an extra victory should be enough.
I do not think they'll get it at St James's Park, but in the end, I think both teams will be fine to stay in place.
The prediction of Lawro: 2-1
The prediction of RED: 1-0
SUNDAY
Everton v Man Utd (1:30 pm BST)
Everton's defeat at Fulham was a strange result and came just as they began to look like a much better team.
It was probably their worst result of the season, especially if we consider the form in which they were when they entered the match.
Manchester United is not in great shape either, notice. I will support them to win at Goodison Park, but if United wants to be in the running again for the title, a major team redesign is needed for next season.
For a relatively inexperienced manager like Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, very big decisions need to be made this summer.
The prediction of Lawro: 0-2
The prediction of RED: 1-0
Arsenal v Crystal Palace (4:00 pm BST)
Arsenal m disappointed me on Monday night. I know that they won at Watford but they never really controlled the game, even with a male advantage.
Gunners are average on the road, but the situation is different at home, where they have not lost since the opening weekend of the season.
Palace is still a threat to their travels but I see only one result here.
The prediction of Lawro: 2-0
The prediction of RED: 1-0
Cardiff v Liverpool (4:00 pm BST)
Cardiff will be competitive, especially at home, but for now, Liverpool seems to be able to face all his opponents.
I was impressed by how Jurgen Klopp's players eliminated Chelsea on Sunday and they never seemed to lose their place against Porto on Wednesday.
Can the Reds win the Champions League?
Well, go beyond Barcelona and they really have a chance … but Lionel Messi will have something to say about it, is not it?
The prediction of Lawro: 0-2
The prediction of RED: 0-2
ON MONDAY
Chelsea v Burnley (8:00 pm BST)
Chelsea is fighting for a place in the top four and with Eden Hazard in shape, they have a chance.
Burnley has 39 points and they are safe, or almost, but they do not have much to play.
They won at Stamford Bridge on the opening day of last season, but I do not see this result happening again this time.
The prediction of Lawro: 2-0
The prediction of RED: 2-0
Lawro is entrusted to Chris Bevan of BBC Sport.
How did Lawro last time?
Last weekend Lawro was seven correct results comprising two perfect scores from 10 games, for a total of 130 points.
He beat the golfer Matt Fitzpatrick, who had four correct results comprising a perfect score, for a total of 70 points.
Lawro also predicted Cardiff's 2-0 victory in Brighton on Tuesday, but supported the Seagulls to 1-0 and did not score any extra points.
