Watford v EvertonBoth these clubs had new managers enter the fray in the summer. One Walter Mazzarri came in with little expectation. Quique Flores was a much-loved figure in the Watford set up and many fans were unhappy to see him walk. The aim for this season after his departure would simply be to avoid relegation.And, with them currently sitting in eleventh place, seven points clear of safety, you could say Mazzarri has been effective thus far.Ronald Koeman was appointed Everton manager after Roberto Martinez was given the boot. The Spaniard had totally lost the Everton fans and quite po sibly most of his players. His tactics were utterly laughable and the club were going backwards under his tenure. Koeman had shown and proved to everyone during his time at Southampton that he is a top-cla s manager, perhaps the right one to pull Everton in the right direction.But right now the club sit eight, with just two wins in ten league games, and things have gone rather flat after a promising start to the season.Many people have argued that eight position is po sibly where you would expect a club like Everton to reside. But its not the amount of points they have dropped that is the real i sue; its the manner in which they dropped them Melky Cabrera Jersey .You look back to the defeat by Bournemouth, the 1-1 draw with Palace, the 2-1 lo s to Burnley, the shambolic performance at Stamford Bridge, and you begin to understand why Everton fans are looking at the table now and lamenting the fact that they are not a couple of places higher up.Everton have won just two of their seven away games so far, so this match will be an opportunity for Koeman to bag a win and get some positivity flowing through the team again.Prediction: 1-2Arsenal v StokeArsenal managed to top their Champions League group midweek, with Bulgarian side Ludogorets doing them a ma sive favour by holding PSG to a draw at the Parc des Princes. But you look at the sides who will finish second in the other groups, and it may not seem such a ma sive achievement for Arsenal after all. Even if it is one of the le ser sides they are drawn against, it would not be a guaranteed route to the next round; remember Monaco?However, it will be cause for positivity as Wenger and Arsenal prepare to welcome to the Emirates a Stoke side who could take some beating. Its five wins in seven league games for the Potters, who had a worrying start and Mark Hughess job was very much on the line. But theyve fought their way out of the bottom half of the table and now sit in Luke Appling Jersey ninth, just a point behind Everton and two behind United.Heres a stat; you have to go all the way back to August 1981 to find the last time Stoke managed to travel to Arsenal and not lose. Thats a period spanning fourteen games Yermin Mercedes Jersey acro s all competitions, fourteen games that have all gone Arsenals way.With the form Arsenal are in, you cant see past yet another home win here to notch onto that record.Prediction: 3-0Burnley v BournemouthBurnley are on a mini-slide at the moment, having lost three on the bounce and scoring just one goal in that time. I tipped Sean Dyches side to go down this season, and frankly I havent changed my opinion. They are capable of big wins (see Liverpool) but are also susceptible to the odd pumping (see West Brom). I like Sean Dyche a lot. Hes a straight-talking no-nonsense manager who knows what he wants from his players. Sadly I just dont see Burnley having what it takes to stay up.Bournemouth claimed an enormous victory over Liverpool last weekend. It was an incredible game, and it was the best way po sible to celebrate Eddie Howes one-hundredth game in charge of the Cherries.Bournemouth have just one away win this season, but if they want to stay up, it will be the home form they will most want to keep in good nick. Theyve lost just two out of their seven home games, winning four and drawing one.Prediction: 1-1Hull v Crystal PalaceA big game in the context of the relegation battle that is nicely unfolding at the foot of the table. Were Hull to beat Palace, it would take them out of the relegation zone and bring them level on points with Pardews side. But that will be much easier said than done for a side like Hull who are struggling badly at the moment.Theyve lost eight of their last ten league games, with that rather unforeseen victory over Southampton in November proving vital as it is just keeping them abreast of their relegation neighbours.Palace on the other hand are not much better off. How much longer can Pardew keep his job? How long can this pattern continue, where they lose game after game, and then claim a rare win, Pardew wins the fans and owners back over, and then its back into another losing streak. Somethings got to give eventually, and this game could be the tipping point.Should they lose this game, theyll be right in amongst it at the bottom, and Steve Parish may decide that enough is enough.Prediction: 0-1Swansea v SunderlandAnother huge game down the bottom, but this one surely will be more racked with tension, as the two sides currently occupy two of the three relegation places, and Blank Jersey a win for either team would be huge.Swansea were utterly torn to shreds against Tottenham last weekend. They just werent in the game at all; it was a practice se sion for Spurs. That kind of performance will have worried the Swans fans deeply going into this match.Sunderland and David Moyes however seem to be on the ascendancy, having won three of their last four and have managed to pull away from bottom spot, which is currently occupied by their up-coming opponents.A win for Sunderland here and Bob Bradley will certainly start to feel the pre sure. Hew Jenkins, the clubs chairman, recently admitted that he is to blame for the clubs demise. Selling the majority of the clubs shares to an American consortium was not a move welcomed at all by the fans, and their decision to appoint a fellow American experienced though Bradley is could spell the beginning of a tedious couple of years for the Welsh club, which could see the frequent appointment of new managers become a common occurrence.If Swansea manage to lose at home to a side that couldnt buy a win not too long ago, it may be time up for Bradley.Prediction: 1-2Leicester v Man CityIts the champions against those touted as champions elect before a ball was kicked this season. But for Man City, a damaging home lo s to Chelsea last weekend means they are now four points off the pace. Not only that but in the aftermath of the scuffle with the Chelsea players towards the end of last weekend Nellie Fox Jersey s match, they are now without Fernandinho whos banned for three games and more importantly Aguero who is out for the majority of December with a four-match ban.Okay, its just four points the difference between City and to
