EPL Week 11 Predictions: Clubs Set to Earn Monumental Wins This Weekend

Arsenal enters Week 11 with a five-point advantage atop the Premier League table. But the Gunners will face a stiff test against defending champion Manchester United at Old Trafford on Sunday.

Elsewhere, Chelsea, Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur will be searching for three points at home as they each look to emerge from the three-way tie for second place behind Arsenal.

So, how will the top clubs fare this weekend?

Here are my predictions for Premier League Week 11, including three clubs sure to climb the table with pivotal victories. 

Home	Score	Away
Aston Villa	1-0	Cardiff City
Chelsea	2-0	West Bromwich Albion
Crystal Palace	0-3	Everton
Liverpool	2-0	Fulham
Southampton	1-0	Hull City
Norwich City	0-0	West Ham United
Tottenham Hotspur	2-1	Newcastle United
Sunderland	0-4	Manchester City
Manchester United	2-2	Arsenal
Swansea City	1-0	Stoke City

Southampton 

Southampton has been the top defensive club in the Premier League through the first quarter of the season, and that stellar play in front of the net is sure to power the Saints to a victory over Hull City at St. Mary's Stadium on Saturday.

Though the Tigers have been strong at home this season, they've dropped four of five away matches.

With Southampton having conceded just one goal in five matches at St. Mary's, it's almost impossible to imagine Hull City breaking through onto the scoreboard this weekend. 

Watch for the Saints' surprising start to continue as they rise up the table with another shutout victory over Hull City on Saturday.

Chelsea

Jose Mourinho's Chelsea squad has watched Arsenal build a five-point advantage at the top of the Premier League table and now finds itself in desperate need of a positive result in Week 11.

But expect the Blues to cruise without too much trouble against West Bromwich Albion on Saturday. This club is wide awake and alert following a 2-0 loss to Newcastle last weekend and will be thrilled to return home to Stamford Bridge, where it has won all five of its league matches this season.

What's more, the Blues are outscoring their opponents 12-3 at Stamford Bridge to start the year.

The Baggies have impressed on the road at times this season but don't have the firepower to contend in this match.

Swansea City

With 10 matches in the books, Michael Laudrup's Jacks find themselves in the middle of the pack in the Premier League table. But a win at home over Stoke City would propel Swansea to new heights.

Swansea has tons to gain this weekend and is sure to capitalize on a favorable matchup against the Potters at Liberty Stadium.

Mark Hughes' team has lost four of five away matches this season and has been struggling to generate scoring chances, netting just seven goals total this season. Stoke is minus-four in goal differential on the road in 2013, and that will spell doom this weekend.
