Arsenal may be playing arch-rivals Manchester United this weekend, but there’s only one head-to-head matchup we’re interested in: the heated battle between Ally McCoist and Darren Fletcher, who have emerged as the season’s wise men.
There is also an important clash between Aston Villa and Newcastle, with the latter looking to find their way into the top four in the division.
The win in Game Week 22 brought Allie and Fletch back within three points of each other.

Selected matches:
West Ham v Sunderland (TNT)
Alli: “It’s a good game that I’m really looking forward to. West Ham have a great and much-awaited result against Spurs. They’ll definitely be a better team if Callum Wilson plays. Having said that, Sunderland are one of, if not the success story of this season. I saw them win 2-1 at Chelsea this season and that’s exactly the scoreline I’m aiming for here.”
Prediction: West Ham 1-2 Sunderland
Fletch: “It’s a big day for West Ham. If they want to stay in the Premier League, they can’t win at Tottenham and then get a big win at home against Sunderland. No disrespect to Sunderland, but it’s a big day for West Ham. But I think Sunderland are too good for them.”
Prediction: West Ham 1-2 Sunderland
Arsenal v Manchester United
Alli: “What a great game it was. Manchester United put in probably their best performance for a long time against Manchester City. They were great and I thought Bruno Fernandes was outstanding. But I’m going for a team that I think will be champions at the end of the season.”
Prediction: Arsenal 3-1 Manchester United
Fletch: “United were better under Carrick in the derby. Can they do it again? Can they achieve that performance for the second year in a row? I don’t think they’re ready for that. I think they’re competitive, but I’d choose Arsenal.”
Prediction: Arsenal 2-1 Manchester United
