Our view

Arsenal's eight wins from nine matches and Hull City's zero wins in their last five point to contrasting momentum, though individual fixtures bring their own dynamics. Manchester City have scored 20 goals in nine matches, but Nottingham Forest will aim to improve on their recent run of zero wins in five. Brighton's 24 goals scored is a notable return, and Brentford's single defeat all season hints at resilience that could make Sunday's meeting competitive.

Chelsea travel to Sunderland with a clear gap in the table, though form can shift quickly in any fixture. Liverpool face Crystal Palace, who have conceded 21 goals in nine matches but recorded one win in their last five to show they can claim results. The mid-table fixtures offer genuine uncertainty. Tottenham's three wins in their last five edges Leeds on recent form, but Leeds have drawn five of nine fixtures and may prove stubborn. Fulham and Newcastle are separated by two points and two positions, and both have shown enough inconsistency to make prediction difficult.

Everton host Coventry, bringing together two sides with contrasting records in draws this season, while Ipswich and Bournemouth are separated by a single point in the table. Aston Villa's run of three wins, two draws and zero losses in their last five may give them confidence when they travel to Manchester United, who have recorded zero wins in their last five, though form is only one factor in any fixture. Overall, the round offers a blend of fixtures where the table suggests clear favourites and others where the margins are finer.
