Here's an overview of the predictions of the chief writer on football, John Cross, who has his say on the action of the weekend.

Bournemouth 2 Newcastle 1

Very little seems to be able to burst the Newcastle bubble, but the impressive Bournemouth team could do it.

The return of Callum Wilson and the resurgence of Ryan Fraser could blow up Newcastle.

Burnley 1 Leicester 1

Burnley hovers again dangerously just above the relegation zone.

A draw will probably not appeal either, but Rodgers gave Leicester an elevator and Dyche made Burnley hard to beat.

West Ham 3 Huddersfield 0

Huddersfield is likely to become one of the worst teams in the Premier League.

They could have expected a lift with a new manager but at least he can eliminate the dead wood in the summer.

Rotherham 1 Norwich 3

Norwich scores goals for fun and is an excellent advertisement to sell your established stars, replace them with hungry players, and then push for a return to the top. Super season.

Aston Villa 2 Middlesboro 1

Jack Grealish's spinoffs have naturally overshadowed the fact that Villa is solid and that she is now a realistic opponent of the play-offs.

Boro are up there but Villa has the forms notebook.
