Tipsters: ‘Pool to stay four points clear!

Cape Town – Wins for both leaders Liverpool and nearest challengers Manchester City in the next round will keep the gap at the top of the Premiership unchanged after the next round of matches.

That is the expectation of the Sport24 tipsters for the full programme of games to be split between Tuesday and Wednesday nights.

There is unanimity that Liverpool, currently four points clear, will beat mid-table Leicester at Anfield, and also that City will defeat embattled Newcastle despite being the away side.

Compiled by Rob Houwing (Newcastle-partial), the other Premiership prediction gurus are Garrin Lambley (Everton, and defending champion), Lloyd Burnard, Tashreeq Vardien, Baden Gillion and Lynn Butler (all Man Utd) plus Craig Taylor (Liverpool).

Have a go yourself: three points are awarded to the forecasters for an entirely correct score-line, and one for right result.
