It's difficult to look past the early kick-off at Old Trafford on Saturday afternoon - and although the race for the title is over, Manchester United's clash with Liverpool holds a definite degree of intrigue.

Mourinho's United are coming off the back of that last-gasp victory over Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park, and with it came a reminder for United fans of the Fergie days when results earned in that fashion were commonplace. 

Liverpool though sit only two points adrift of United in the race for second, and given Jurgen Klopp's charges have won seven of their last nine Premier League matches, it is impossible to write them off. That is why this week Kevin Kilbane's tip is Liverpool to win and both teams to score (4/1).

Given the fact that only seven points separate Stoke City in 19th and Brighton in 10th in the Premier League table, much of the interest will be on affairs at the bottom of the table as the Premier League season reaches its May climax.

15th placed Huddersfield Town host Swansea (13th) on Saturday afternoon, with the teams currently only separated by goal difference. Carlos Carvalhal is working wonders with the Swans - they have lost only two of their fifteen competitive matches with him in charge.

Steve Mounié has scored four goals in his last seven appearances in all competitions for Huddersfield, and they will no doubt be looking to him again for the attacking threat.

Nathan Murphy is expecting a goal-fest at the John Smith's Stadium, and his tip this weekend is going for over 3.5 goals in the match at odds of 4/1.

Arsène Wenger has been under the usual severe pressure this weekend, and Arsenal's clash with Watford on Sunday at the Emirates (kick-off 1.30pm) is one of two games with live commentary on Off the Ball. 

Their defeat to Brighton last weekend was their third league defeat in a row; they have not lost four straight Premier League fixtures since March 1995.

The Gunners have conceded 41 league goals, which is only two fewer than bottom club West Brom, and so expect the ball to hit the back of the net a few times at the Emirates.

Leon Blanche, Head of Communications with BoyleSports is going for Arsenal to beat Watford and both teams to score at odds of 7/4.
