1 What's your best bet of the weekend?

Liverpool are primed for the final push and while some teams have asked a few questions of them, I don’t think Norwich will. Nicely rested and with pretty much everyone fit, I can see Liverpool cruising to a 3-0 victory at Carrow Road.

2 Which favourites look the most vulnerable?

I could give Burnley a chance at Southampton, who have the worst home record in the Premier League. At the very least they can get a draw. It has been a really solid run of form for Burnley with those wins over Leicester and Manchester United and a draw against an improving Arsenal team.

3 Where is the value in Chelsea v Manchester United on Monday?

I’ve got to say Chelsea. It’s a clash of managers trying to do much the same thing, building a future around young talent – I just think Frank Lampard is doing it much better than Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. There’s inconsistency with both of them but United don’t have much of an away record.

4 Who wins the Champions League?

Liverpool are in such a strong position because of how well they are doing in the Premier League. I look at all the other teams around Europe and don’t think there’s anyone that Liverpool can’t beat.

5 And how about the Europa League?

Inter have emerged as a real danger again in Serie A under Antonio Conte and if they can see off Ludogorets and get a nice draw in the last 16, they’ve probably got the squad to be able to give it a real go.
