Paul Merson is back with his latest round of Premier League predictions, including Man Utd vs Watford, Fulham vs Man City, Liverpool vs Tottenham and other. Here's who the Magic Man is backing this weekend...

Saturday

Fulham vs Man City

This is a nice game for City, they can throw the pressure on Liverpool before they play. I'm a great believer of playing first, you always want to take the first shot. I can't see anything but a win for Pep Guardiola's side, it would be a miracle if Fulham got a result. I just hope Fulham continue doing well under Scott Parker and he gets the job because they have improved under him.

Paul's prediction: 1:4

Man Utd vs Watford

A United win coupled with a defeat for Spurs could really through the top four race wide open. Watford are a funny team, one minute they really impress and then, when you fancy them to be tough to beat - like at Liverpool - they get ripped apart.

Who knows how the game itself will play out, Watford are inconsistent while United have lost their last two, but I think United will get the win and apply the pressure.

Paul's prediction: 2:1

Leicester vs Bournemouth

This should be an entertaining one, both sides will have a go. But the influence of Brendan Rodgers will be the difference here. He will have had another week to work with his players. The longer this goes on, I can only see positive things for Leicester.

Paul's prediction: 2:1

Sunday

Cardiff vs Chelsea

This could be a big weekend in the race for the top four. I see Chelsea winning, they will have just too much for Cardiff, and that will leave Spurs needing to get a result at Liverpool. Some of Cardiff's home results recently have been alarming and they've come against lesser teams than Chelsea.

Paul's prediction: 1:3

Liverpool vs Tottenham

The pressure is going to be on Liverpool, draws are no good with Manchester City in front. It's going to be a tight, entertaining game with Liverpool needing to win adding another layer - if Liverpool are drawing with 20 minutes to go they have to go for it. But I think they will get the job done, cranking up the pressure on Spurs in the race for the top four.

Paul's prediction: 2:1
