Dortmund v Mainz

Dortmund have lost just two of their last 23 home league games and they should be able to banish the memories of their final day collapse against Mainz last season by securing victory over these opponents in this one.

Everton v Fulham

Everton have won their last four games without conceding and the in-form Toffees may be too strong for Fulham, who have only won one of their last nine away games. 

Port Vale v Middlesbrough

Port Vale have won just three of their last 11 matches and face a tough test as they host Middlesbrough, who have scored at least twice in 12 of their 15 away matches this season. Take the visitors for the victory.

Chelsea v Newcastle

Chelsea have won ten of their last 11 home matches against Newcastle and with the Magpies' struggles away from home this season and their substantial injury list, the hosts are fancied to get the win.
