Sky Sports Paul Merson is back to look ahead to another round of Premier League fixtures, as Newcastle host Sunderland and Manchester City take on Manchester United live on Super Sunday. Its a crucial derby day with Newcastle just one point behind rivals Sunderland as both sides look to escape the drop, while United are four points behind City in the race for the Champions League places.Meanwhile, Leicester continue their bid for a first top-flight title in their history with a trip to Crystal Palace as Tottenham host Bournemouth and Arsenal travel to Everton. Merse correctly predicted three of the five Premier League outcomes last weekend, and also called two FA Cup ties correctly, including a perfect score thanks to Manchester Uniteds 1-1 draw with West Ham. Mersons last predictions Result Merses prediction Norwich 0-0 Man City 0-3 Bournemouth 3-2 Swansea 2-1 Stoke 1-2 Southampton 2-1 Aston Villa 0-2 Tottenham 0-3 Leicester 1-0 Newcastle 3-1 Everton 2-0 Chelsea 2-1 Arsenal 1-2 Watford 2-0 Man Utd 1-1 West Ham 1-1 Reading 0-2 Crystal Palace 1-1 Morgan Schneiderlin lunges for the ball against manchester City Read on to see who Merse is backing this week...Man City v Man Utd - Super Sunday, 4pm, Sky Sports 1 HDManchester City have to win this game! Its all becoming very tight in the race for the top four and Manuel Pellegrinis men are really struggling at the moment. The injuries to Vincent Kompany and Nicolas Otamendi are a big blow, however, I see home advantage being key in this game. Manchester United also have injury problems and a tough game against Liverpool wont help their chances. I see City just edging this one 2-1.PAUL PREDICTS: 2-1 (Sky Bets odds: 15/2)Newcastle v Sunderland - Super Sunday, 1.30pm, Sky Sports 1 HD Costel Pantilimon makes a save during the derby against Newcastle Its a big game anyway but now, with one of these two sides definitely going down, its a massive, massive game. If Rafael Benitez hadnt moved to St James Park I would have made Sunderland a certainty. Now, its a very difficult game to call. I watched Newcastle on Monday night and they looked a completely different side. Watching them against Bournemouth and then against Leicester, the difference was startling. The organisation was better but also, the players seemed to give a lot more. I really did fancy Sunderland for this but Newcastle have shown glimpses of promise already under Benitez. I cant split the two sides; its a 1-1 draw for me.PAUL PREDICTS: 1-1 (Sky Bets odds: 5/1)Swansea v Aston Villa - Saturday Night Football, 5.30pm Andre Ayew celebrates his winning goal against Aston Villa I cant see Aston Villa getting anything out of this game. Its just a matter of time before they are relegated and Swansea will move them a step closer to the Championship with victory at the Liberty.In the process, Swansea should confirm their top-flight status by taking all three points against the bottom side.PAUL PREDICTS: 2-0 (Sky Bets odds: 11/2)Everton v Arsenal - Saturday, 12.45pm Seamus Coleman and Alexis Sanchez battle in the reverse fixture at the Emirates Stadium You just never know what Everton side are going to turn up! One minute they are brilliant and then the next theyre not. It was a great result in the FA Cup against Chelsea and reaching the semi-final is a major boost for Roberto Martinez, however, before that result they havent been great at home. On the other hand, I thought Arsenal did well against Barcelona and they will be hoping to translate that form to the league. A draw is no good to either side here but I dont think theres much between the sides. Im going for a 1-1 draw.PAUL PREDICTS: 1-1 (Sky Bets odds: 11/2)Chelsea v West Ham - Saturday, 3pm Andy Carroll celebrates his goal against Chelsea back in October Chelsea will be desperately trying to stop Slaven Bilics side reaching the Champions League when the two sides meet at Stamford Bridge. West Ham are right in the hunt for European qualification but to get a result at Chelsea they will have to play from the first whistle. In recent weeks theyve only come alive when theyve been behind. They came back from 2-0 down against Norwich and they did the same at Everton, before going on to seal all points. They cant afford to give Chelsea a head start. Again, theres not a lot between these two sides and Im going for another 1-1 draw.PAUL PREDICTS: 1-1 (Sky Bets odds: 11/2) Play Super 6! Enter the Soccer Saturday Super 6 game NOW Crystal Palace v Leicester - Saturday, 3pm Jamie Vardy was on the scoresheet earlier in the season against Crystal Palace Im backing Palace here. I think Alan Pardews side will beat Leicester.The Foxes did not look like a team at the top of the league on Monday night. I know they ground it out but if they play like that for the rest of the season they wont win the league. People will say its good sign that they won playing below par, but they will drop points if they continue to perform like that in the remaining eight games. Theyve punched well above their weight all season but I can just see Palace beating them thanks to a 2-1 scoreline.PAUL PREDICTS: 2-1 (Sky Bets odds: 10/1)Watford v Stoke - Saturday, 3pm Watford beat Stoke 2-0 at the Britannia earlier in the season Beating Arsenal to reach the semi-finals of the FA Cup was a massive result for the club. But what do they do now? Do they rest some of their players in the league with a date at Wembley just around the corner?Meanwhile, Stoke appear to be getting better away from home which is extremely unusual for them. With all that in mind Im picking an away win by two goals to one.PAUL PREDICTS: 1-2 (Sky Bets odds: 10/1)West Brom v Norwich - Saturday, 3pm In-form Salomon Rondon celebrates scoring his teams first goal against Norwich Norwich picked up a good point against Manchester City last week and Im sure Alex Neil would take a point again at West Brom. However, the hosts are unbeaten in eight matches at home in all competitions.In contrast, Norwich are on a run of six straight defeats on the road in the Premier League and I can see that extending to seven at The Hawthorns.Tony Pulis side just know how to get the job done and for that reason Im backing a 1-0 home win.PAUL PREDICTS: 1-0 (Sky Bets odds: 5/1)Southampton v Liverpool - Sunday, 1.30pm Philippe Coutinho is tracked by a number of Southampton players during their 1-1 draw earlier in the season Southampton have had some superb results in recent weeks. Their form has completely turned around. Liverpool will have put a lot of effort into their Europa league clash with Manchester United at Old Trafford on Thursday. It will certainly take a lot out of them so Im predicting a 2-1 Southampton win.PAUL PREDICTS: 2-1 (Sky Bets odds: 9/1)Tottenham v Bournemouth - Sunday, 4pm Harry Kane will be looking to get on the scoresheet against Bournemouth again Bournemouth are safe now. I always find the teams that are safe are a dangerous proposition because they go out and express themselves. However, if the result goes the way I expect between Crystal Palace and Leicester then Tottenham will have a chance to go just two points behind the league leaders. In my opinion they would not let that chance slip so Im backing them for a 2-1 victory at White Hart Lane. However, Mauricio Pochettinos side will have to be wary. Bournemouth will give Spurs a very tricky game.PAUL PREDICTS: 2-1 (Sky Bets odds: 7/1)PLAY SUPER 6!Theres another £250,000 jackpot up for grabs in the latest round of the Soccer Saturday Super 6 game.

Grant Hill Jersey . -- Canadian ski cross star Marielle Thompson accomplished two goals in one race Saturday. Cheap Magic Jerseys . After a first half in which he thought "the lid was on the basket," the Toronto Raptors coach watched his squad mount a second half surge to defeat the Cleveland Cavaliers 98-91.NEW YORK -- Ivan Nova thought discovering he was tipping pitches in his start against Boston last week made the difference. Manager Joe Girardi simply attributed this outing to better control. No matter the reason, Novas stellar September start kept the New York Yankees in the AL wild-card chase. The right-hander pitched a six-hitter for his second career shutout, Eduardo Nunez hit a two-run homer and the Yankees beat the San Francisco Giants 6-0 Saturday. "We need to win games, and its no time to pitch the way that I pitched the time before," Nova said. Nova watched video between starts with pitching coach Larry Rothschild after giving up five runs -- four earned -- against the Red Sox. Nova thought he saw himself giving away some pitches, so he adjusted the way he held his glove, and he also worked on better curveball command. The adjustments made for a 108-pitch gem. A day before New York honours retiring closer Mariano Rivera in a pregame ceremony, Nova (9-5) gave the Yankees bullpen a rest with his third complete game, all this year. He struck out seven and walked one in winning for the first time in four starts following poor efforts against AL East rivals Boston and Baltimore. "I think he has a lot more confidence in his stuff," Girardi said. Brendan Ryan made several impressive plays at shortstop, Alfonso Soriano connected for the second straight day and Robinson Cano had an RBI single in a three-run third against Ryan Vogelsong (3-6), helping New York win for just the third time in eight games. New York (82-73) remained three games behind Cleveland (85-70) and 2 1-2 back of Texas (84-70) for the second AL wild card but moved ahead of Baltimore and Kansas City (both 81-73). The Yankees have seven games remaining, including three against wild-card leading Tampa Bay (85-69). "If we played like we played last night and today we feel like we can win every game," Soriano said. Soriano connected on the first pitch thrown by reliever Guillermo Moscoso leading off the sixth, giving him 17 homers and 50 RBIs with the Yankees in 52 games. He had 17 homers and 51 RBIs in 93 games for the Chicago Cubs. The Giants gave the many orange and black-clad fans in attendance little to cheer. They only had two baserunners reach second -- one the result of Soriano losing Brandon Belts flyball to left field in the sun for a double. Belt and Pablo Sandoval each had twwo hits for the Giants, who never put two runners on in the same inning.dddddddddddd San Francisco lost for the eighth time in nine interleague road games this season. With a .458 winning percentage (71-84), the Giants are on track for the third-worst winning percentage for a defending World Series champion, trailing only the 1998 Florida Marlins (.333) and the 1991 Cincinnati Reds (.457), according to STATS. After Vogelsong retired six straight to start the game, the bottom three in the Yankees lineup reached opening the third. Mark Reynolds blooped a single over third base and went to third on a hit-and-run single by Ryan, who entered with a .197 average. Chris Stewart walked on four pitches to load the bases for Ichiro Suzuki. "It was upsetting for me from a mental standpoint. I didnt have a good mental game," Vogelsong said. "On the hit and run, I knew they were going to send the runner there and the cutter away but it ran up a bit. If that ball is where I want it to be its a groundball." Suzukis sacrifice fly put the Yankees ahead, Alex Rodriguez drove in another run with a spinning grounder to the left of second base that shortstop Brandon Crawford gloved with a nifty grab, and Cano tacked on a run when he sliced a single the opposite way through a huge hole between shortstop and third base. Nunez connected in the fourth on the first pitch he saw from Vogelsong for his second homer this season. Vogelsong was lifted after five innings. He allowed five runs and five hits in losing for the fourth time in five starts. Sandoval, the Giants third baseman, was lifted for defence before the start of the bottom of the eighth because his back tightened up. He is day to day.
