Charlie Nicholas is tipping Chelsea and Everton to win in the Premier League on Super Sunday.

The Soccer Saturday pundit is backing Guus Hiddink's men to pinch the points at Selhurst Park and Everton to dent Tottenham's title challenge at Goodison Park.

Here are Nicholas' views on the first Super Sunday of 2016...

Crystal Palace v Chelsea (Sunday 1.30pm, live on Sky Sports 1HD)

Eden Hazard of Chelsea appeals

Charlie says: What a season Palace are having but can they cope without the likes of Yannick Bolasie and Connor Wickham? Bolasie's loss is a gigantic blow. He's got so much ability and teases and torments defences, he's a big miss and I'm worried that without him they don't score a lot of goals.

Chelsea are slowly looking a bit better. Diego Costa is back and Eden Hazard showed some nice touches against Manchester United. I'm still not convinced by Chelsea but I'm going to back them to edge it on Sunday.

Charlie predicts: Palace 1, Chelsea 2 with Hazard to score first (35/1 with Sky Bet)

Charlie says: I can't work Everton out. They were flying a few weeks ago and looked like top four was realistic but they've gone off the rails and are in a spin.

They should have not thrown it away against Stoke when they went ahead. Spurs are going well but they are starting to talk up their own title ambitions and that could backfire. Top four would be a great achievement for Tottenham. I'm going to go for Everton though, if they get up a head of steam early on I think Tottenham may struggle.

Charlie predicts: Everton 2, Tottenham 1 with Lukaku to score first (30/1 with Sky Bet)
