Fulham v Everton (Saturday: 12.45 Sky Sports 1)

Having frustrated Arsenal at the Emirates, Everton return to the capital looking to continue their superb away form. They've only the one defeat to their name all season and the talismanic Tim Cahill is probably the reason why.

He's been the creative thrust in the attacking third and has scored on their last four away trips; in fact, Everton have scored in every game this season and will be on the offensive knowing that Fulham have kept just the one clean sheet in seven.

Chris Coleman has presided over a more determined outfit this season, but the wins have dried up of late. Ex-Toffee Brian McBride scored the only goal in last August's game; plus Pembridge and Radzinski should also feature against their old clubs. However Boa Morte is injured and Malbranque who was inspirational last season has moved on.

That lack of craft was evident when the Cottagers lost against Wigan and Sporting Index reckon both sides will cancel each other out for a draw - although Fulham have won their last five meetings at home!

West Ham v Arsenal (Sunday: 13.30 Sky Sports 1)

On paper, an out-of-sorts West Ham team against an Arsenal side with five wins in their last six Premiership matches should be a no-brainer.

However, the Hammers defeated Blackburn showing much-needed spirit and they've squared up well against their old foes in recent times. Their last meeting at Highbury saw a 3-2 defeat for the Gunners who were upstaged with Reo-Coker and co. cutting up Arsenal with ease.

They'll take further optimism from the two consecutive draws and wasteful finishing that Wenger's men have shown. Despite this, Sporting Index expect a reaction and predict a one goal win for the Gunners - even though their last three visits to Upton Park have ended in a draw. This fixture has conjured up 13 goals in the last four encounters; therefore Sporting's spread of 2.5 to 2.7 total goals should catch the punters' eye. Also interesting is their prediction of five yellow cards - both meetings last season were mild affairs with two yellows each.

Tottenham v Chelsea (Sunday: 16.00 Sky Sports 1)

Tottenham haven't beaten their London rivals in 32 league games and they haven't managed a single goal in the last four meetings at White Hart Lane. Chelsea won't be quaking in their boots to learn that even with the likes of Defoe, Keane, Mido and Berbatov; they've only mustered five goals at home this season, making it difficult to see them troubling an organised and no-nonsense defence led by John Terry.

At the other end, Drogba is proving his critics wrong and leading the line superbly, as he showed against Barcelona in midweek. The Blues have scored in every away game this season, and Sporting Index predict they'll record their fifth consecutive away victory by a one goal margin. Spurs however will go flat out to prevent that happening, but will they keep their cool in the process? They failed to do so last season with five bookings and Mido receiving a red card. Everyone's favourite ref is estimated to have a quieter afternoon according to Sporting Index, with Graham Poll cautioning five players.
