We have heard plenty from Premier League managers over the course of the day, with the highlights being:

• Slot saying emotions got better of him after final whistle at Goodison Park.
• Guardiola hinting Akanji to be out for about 8-10 weeks.
• But it's good news for Spurs as Vicario and Maddison are set to return against Man Utd.
• Arteta will "explore every situation" to solve Arsenal's injury crisis.

Thanks for joining us and also for sending us through your 'one true love' in football. We will be bringing you live coverage of tonight's Premier League meeting between Chelsea and Brighton later with live text updates on the BBC Sport app and website.

Wolves got a big win over Villa in their last league match and I watched them beat Blackburn in the FA Cup too.

I cannot see Vitor Pereira's side getting anything at Anfield, though.

Liverpool have to bounce back after conceding an equaliser so late on against Everton but I do expect them to react positively here.

A lot of people might be thinking this might be their blip, but I don't think what happened in the derby is going to faze Liverpool.

In many ways, their players might use the dropped points at Goodison Park as a motivation to see off Wolves, and I am pretty confident they will get back on track straight away.

I am going for Mohammed Salah to score and Liverpool to win comfortably.

Sutton's prediction: 3-0

What a job David Moyes has done since returning to Everton last month.

His side gave us such great drama at the end of the Merseyside derby, although I must admit I was not watching it properly because I was covering Celtic in the Champions League for Match of the Day.

Moyes has really got Everton going again but I think he is in for a tough evening here.

You have to wonder how much Wednesday night will have taken out of the Toffees, and I suspect it was quite a lot.

Crystal Palace are going well at the moment, and Jean-Philippe Mateta will be hard to stop.

The Eagles been steadily climbing the table for a few weeks now and I am expecting that to continue, although it will be close.

Sutton's prediction: 1-0

Trying to call this is a bit like a game I used to play with my kids, poker dice, where you roll five dice and it is completely random what you end up with.

This is the first time I have so little idea of what to expect from both sides that I actually think I need to make two predictions, rather than one.

I can guarantee you this, though. Whatever result I go for, it will end up being the opposite of what actually happens.

Tottenham demolished United 3-0 at Old Trafford in September but that does not really have any bearing here.

As for Manchester United, well I've been reading reports this week that some of their players are unhappy with Ruben Amorim's style of play.

I still have a sneaky feeling they might edge this game but I cannot really tell you what I am basing that on.

This is a big game for Ange too, now his side are out of both domestic cups, but I am going with United, just.

Sutton's prediction: 1-2 or 4-0 [only 1-2 will count as Chris's score]

Brentford are not great away from home, while West Ham need to get something after taking only one point from their past three matches.

This has got a draw written all over it, really, but I am not going to take the easy option.

Although Bryan Mbeumo and Yoane Wissa are always so dangerous for the Bees, I am going to go with West Ham to win it.

Jarrod Bowen scored a hat-trick when West Ham beat Brentford 4-2 in February last year. There won't be as many goals this time, but I am going for the same outcome.

Sutton's prediction: 2-1

Even in the FA Cup against Burnley, Southampton could not give their home fans anything to cheer about. Dear me, what a depressing season this has been for them.

Saints would be better off finishing the campaign now - just packing up, shutting the ground down and looking forward to next season, or looking ahead to it, anyway - why would you be looking forward to it after such a dismal few months?

Bournemouth are well organised, have a good balance to their team and Justin Kluivert is on fire. They have quite a few injuries but you don't hear them complain do you? They just get on with it.

I'd be shocked if they don't win this.

Sutton's prediction: 1-3

For the first couple of months of the season I was talking about how good Fulham are at home - I obviously put the mockers on them because they have not won any of their past five league matches at Craven Cottage.

Nottingham Forest, who needed penalties to get past Exeter in the FA Cup on Tuesday, have got an excellent away record and Liverpool are the only top-flight team to have picked up more points than them on the road this season.

This is hard to call, though, because we know Fulham can turn it on, and they are a hard team to predict.

They won at the City Ground earlier in the season but this time I am going with my club, Forest, to get a point and continue their push for the top four.

Sutton's prediction: 1-1

Ipswich boss Kieran McKenna made 11 changes for their FA Cup tie against Coventry, so what does he do here to try to stop his side's four-game losing run in the league?

Last time the Tractor Boys were in the Midlands, they demolished the Sky Blues, but this is obviously a much tougher test.

Aston Villa also got through in the FA Cup, beating Tottenham, but they have gone three games without a win in the league - drawing with Arsenal and West Ham, and losing to Wolves.

Unai Emery's side are short of centre-backs, with Ezri Konsa the latest to be injured when he was forced off against Spurs, but they do have new loan signing Axel Disasi to come into their defence.

I think Ipswich will score, but Villa are going to score more.

Sutton's prediction: 2-1

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has said that "loads and minutes" are to blame after Kai Havertz became the latest to join the club's long injury list.

"With the loads and minutes, it's inevitable, It's an accident waiting to happen. This season it's the accumulation of that, the stress. Is it luck? Certainly the schedule is demanding, and for explosive players it becomes an issue," Arteta said ahead of their trip to Leicester.

Havertz sustained a hamstring injury during the team's Dubai training camp.

The Premier League club have confirmed that the 25-year-old German will require surgery and is expected to continue his rehabilitation into pre-season for the 2025-26 campaign.

Brighton came out on top when these two sides met in the FA Cup last weekend, and Chelsea did not offer much in attack after taking an early lead.

Enzo Maresca's side just seem to be going through a flat period at the moment. They are still fourth in the table, but their performances have definitely dipped.

The Seagulls' results have been very up and down too, and it's hard to pick a winner - so I am going to go with a draw.

Sutton's prediction: 1-1

Players missing time through injury has actually decreased compared with previous seasons, according to Ben Dinnery of Premier Injuries.

Teams like Tottenham have had several high-profile players sidelined during this campaign, but the data suggests they have fewer injury problems than last season when you factor in more matches in domestic cup and European competitions.

"The media narrative that injuries are going through the roof this season - they're actually not," Dinnery told The Football News Show.

"In terms of time lost absence, we've actually seen a reduction - season on season - over the same period compared to 2023-24 by about 13%."

Brentford

Brentford boss Thomas Frank provided a fitness update before Saturday's trip to West Ham:

"The same players are available from the last game. Mark Flekken is ready and will be in goal, which is good."

On full-back Aaron Hickey: "He is training with the first team in parts, and is planning to be in full training next week with the team.

"He has been out for 16 months. I will be happy the day he is involved in the squad, more happy when he comes on the pitch, and even more happy when he is starting a game, but when has been out for so long I don't want to be too excited before he is really ready."

Elsewhere, Rico Henry has "been training on the pitch, but not with the team" so remains unavailable for Saturday's game. Igor Thiago "is still a bit away," with Frank unable to give a time frame on the strikers return.
