LIVERPOOL V STOKE CITY League position: Liverpool 12th and Stoke 11th Useful facts: Liverpool are playing football that belongs in the relegation zone, and Brendan Rodgers' Anfield revolution looks like it could fall flat on its face. He has spent a small fortune on poor quality players and, while he refers to the current situation as 'the second curve of development', the truth is that the Reds have gone over the curve and crashed into the bushes. Stoke may very well fancy their chances in this encounter. Shane McGregor: Liverpool are my team, but they're not playing well. Draw. SUNDERLAND V CHELSEA League position: Sunderland 14th and Chelsea 1st Useful facts: To be honest, Sunderland aren't a joy to watch at the best of times. They have an old squad packed with hardworkers, and they often rely on Adam Johnson to try a few tricks to lighten the mood. The Chelsea juggernaut will likely roll into the Stadium of Light and pummel the Black Cats. Expect a Blues win here. Shane McGregor: Chelsea win. They're playing magnificently. WEST BROMWICH ALBION V ARSENAL League position: 13th and Arsenal 8th Useful facts: West Brom have an emerging star in the form of Saido Berahino in their ranks – the kid scores goals with the ease of a proven predator. It's arguably only a matter of time before he swaps the Baggies for a more glamorous setting. The 21-year-old will fancy his chances against the Gunners porous defence. In addition, if Arsenal don't start putting some winning performances together soon, the pressure will only intensify in the race for a top four finish. Shane McGregor: Draw. SUPERSPORT UNITED V PLATINUM STARS League position: United 10th and Stars 13th Useful facts: In the Telkom Knockout final, SuperSport take on cup specialists Platinum Stars. You can bet your bottom dollar that Gordon Igesund will sell the shirt off his back to try and win this game. However, Stars know how to get the job done in finals and Dinaledi will be revved up for this clash. Shane McGregor: SuperSport to bounce back after losing to Pirates with a win. SOUTHAMPTON V MANCHESTER CITY League position: Southampton 2nd and City 3rd Useful facts: The Saints' out of body experience seems to be continuing, and they incredibly find themselves in second place on the log. It is nose bleed territory for a side who are definitely not expected to be right up there. If they can manage a win over City, perhaps they could go on to stage a shock bid for a top four finish. Shane McGregor: I'm going to go for a draw.
