CHRIS SUTTON'S PREDICTION
Leicester ended their long wait for a victory when they beat Aston Villa last week but they are not out of trouble yet. I think Southampton and Bournemouth will both go down but that still leaves one relegation place to be filled.
At the other end of the table, Tottenham are finally showing signs of consistency with three straight wins in all competitions.
Spurs will miss suspended defender Cristian Romero and goalkeeper Hugo Lloris is injured - I might be wrong but I don't think that losing Lloris is a disaster for them, and they should carry on their good run.
Prediction: 1-2
