Stoke v Tottenham (Premier League)
League rankings: Stoke 20th Tottenham 7th
Useful facts: Tottenham find themselves undefeated in 11 of their past 13 Premier League matches, while Stoke have only won one of their past 10 league matches. Add to that Tottenham's superior record in their last six encounters, with three wins, and it's hard to see the Potters coming away with a positive result.
Banks Setlhodi: I'll give it a draw.
West Ham v Watford (Premier League)
League rankings: West Ham 12th Watford 18th
Useful facts: The Hammers are undefeated in 17 of their past 18 home matches and will be looking to carry that record to their new stadium, having beaten Bournemouth in their last home game. Watford, who've just suffered back-to-back league defeats, actually boast the historical advantage and have won three of the last six matches between the two.
Banks Setlhodi: I'll give it to West Ham.
Schalke v Bayern Munich (Bundesliga)
League rankings: Schalke 15th Bayern Munich 1st
Useful facts: In what appears to be a straightforward encounter, Bayern will look at a record of four wins and no losses against Schalke in the last six encounters, as well as a record of 17 goals scored, and have a great deal of confidence. Add to that the fact that Bayern won their first game of the season while Schalke lost, and it's hard to see this encounter going any way other than in the Bavarians' favour.
Banks Setlhodi: Bayern Munich… I don't see them losing.
