Leicester v Norwich

Most popular prediction: 2-0 (42%)

This game is a question of Leicester's bounce-back-ability, but there was no shame in the way they lost at Arsenal as they played really well. They've recorded four clean sheets in a row at the King Power so I can see why the majority have gone with that and Norwich always concede away - the only Premier League side without a clean sheet on the road this season. However, I do think it will be a bit of an edgy one for Claudio Ranieri's men and I'm going for a narrower win.

Jeff predicts: 2-1

Most popular prediction: 1-2 (31%)

Well 31 per cent are ignoring this season and looking at the fact the away team are called Chelsea. There's no doubt they've improved under Guus Hiddink, with clean sheets in their last four Premier League games, but they've got a poor record against the Saints winning just two of their last seven. Ronald Koeman's men are also flying at the moment, so much so Charlie Austin can't get in the team, and I fancy them to make it seven clean sheets on the bounce and produce a coupon-buster.

Jeff predicts: 1-0

Stoke v Aston Villa

Most popular prediction: 2-0 (38%)

This time I'll roll in with the majority. Stoke were right back to their best form for their 3-1 win at Bournemouth and I thought they were exceptional. They've also had a little break over the FA Cup weekend so they should be refreshed as well. Villa, in contrast, are coming off the back of that 6-0 thumping by Liverpool, their lowest point in a horrendous season - and things are going from bad to worse.

Jeff predicts: 2-0

Watford v Bournemouth

Most popular prediction: 2-1 (29%)

I'm going for 2-1 as well - but not to the home side. I just feel that Watford tend to stagger over the line in games now, as they did against Leeds last week. I think they'll be pretty fatigued by the end of the season, particularly those they rely on most in Odion Ighalo and Troy Deeney. It says it all that 'own goals' are their third highest scorer. Bournemouth are also better away than home, with only one defeat in nine on the road in all competitions, and with the pace of Benik Afobe and Junior Stanislas making them dangerous on the counter-attack.

Jeff predicts: 1-2

QPR v Birmingham

Most popular prediction: 1-1 (29%)

QPR are just a bit of an enigma. They've scored first in 17 games this season but only won seven of them. I was shocked by how bad they were against Fulham last time we saw them on Sky Sports. They were defensively shambolic. Birmingham, on the other hand, have kept clean sheets in five of their last six league games and I can see them recording another one here.   

Jeff predicts: 0-2

Rotherham v Brentford

Most popular prediction: 1-2 (21%)

It's a worrying time for Rotherham, who are yet to score a goal under Neil Warnock. They've lost 21 games this season, three more than anyone else in the Championship and they never even seem to look like scoring. Brentford are hit-and-miss, but they have a match-winner in Alan Judge. He's got 13 goals this season but that doesn't tell the full story and he's a big talent.

Jeff predicts: 1-2
