Premier League Week 11: Predicting Results of Sunday's Big Games

Week 11 of the Premier League concludes with four pivotal games that could yet see the table reshaped by the end of the weekend.

A full table of predictions can be found below, followed by a preview of the week's remaining games on November 10. 

Kick-Off Time (GMT)	Home	Prediction	Away
12 p.m.	Tottenham	1-1	Newcastle
2:05 p.m.	Sunderland	0-4	Man City
4:10 p.m.	Swansea	2-1	Stoke
4:10 p.m.	Man Utd	2-1	Arsenal

Sunday sees Tottenham Hotspur host Newcastle United at White Hart Lane in the day's lunchtime kick-off (12 p.m. GMT).

Andre Villas-Boas must unlock the creative potential of his summer's signings if Spurs are to build upon their solid defensive foundation that has been nigh on impervious in their opening 10 games of the season.

Tottenham have conceded just five goals so far this campaign but have only scored nine goals with three of their strikes coming from the penalty spot.

The likes of Christian Eriksen and Erik Lamela should be able to spruce up Villas-Boas' attack in the long run, but at present, it seems as though the team are just waiting for the offensive side of their game to click like how their defence has found its feet and form.

Both Eriksen and Lamela featured prominently in Spurs' midweek Europa League win over Sheriff Tiraspol, and their manager will be hoping that the pair can carry their influential momentum over into their clash with the Magpies on Sunday.

Alan Pardew's men arrive in London flush from their 2-0 home win against Jose Mourinho's men in Week 10 and determined to get a decent run of results under their belt.

On-loan QPR striker Loic Remy will be the Barcodes' danger man up front, and the Frenchman will seek to test the security of Spurs' back line and expose any flaws that may have been missed by others.

Pardew may also decide to bring Hatem Ben Arfa back into the Newcastle starting 11 in order give his side more firepower on the road.

Whether due to Tottenham's stubborn defence or both teams' strikers cancelling each other out, a draw may be on the cards at the Lane.

Sunday's action doesn't stop there, however, with the focus shifting to the North East at 2:05 p.m. GMT, as Manchester City look to record another rout following on from their 7-0 drubbing of Norwich City against Sunderland.

Manuel Pellegrini's squad will be depleted slightly with David Silva sidelined for four weeks, but the Black Cats will also be understrength due to the suspensions of Lee Cattermole and Andrea Dossena.

This should allow City's in-form and fit regulars such as Yaya Toure and Alvaro Negredo to still run rampant regardless of who comes in to replace Sunderland's red-carded duo.

With Chelsea dropping points on the Saturday of Week 11, City can leap into third place by virtue of their superior goal difference against Southampton should they win and Tottenham lose or draw at home.

Gus Poyet will have his work cut out to salvage anything from what is likely to be a bruising encounter at the Stadium of Light, although Sunderland's record of two wins in their last two home games—one of which was a Capital One Cup match—offers some hope of an unlikely shock win.

Unfortunately, this is unlikely to be a match decided by such romance, and City should stroll to a routine victory at the very least.

Later on at 4:10 p.m. GMT, Swansea City host Stoke City in a fixture that only last year would have been touted as a game between the two clubs representing the extremities of the divide between purists and pragmatists.

Mark Hughes' appointment following Tony Pulis' abdication was intended to give the Potters' football a facelift, and the Welshman has begun to encourage a more considered and restrained approach at the Britannia Stadium.

His team are very much a work-in-progress at present, however, and are unlikely to suddenly turn into born-again evangelists of possession football over night.

Michael Laudrup's Swans will be missing their Spanish talisman Michu and his tricky countryman Pablo Hernandez, and the home side will step out into the Liberty City defanged but with a more settled way of playing.

As such, last year's Capital One Cup winners should win out.

Ending the weekend's fixtures in style, Arsenal head to Old Trafford to prove their title-winning credentials against the reigning but stuttering champions, Manchester United.

David Moyes must somehow overcome what is arguably the most talented and in-form midfield in the league with his own offering that will feature some sort of concoction created out of Tom Cleverley, Michael Carrick, Phil Jones and Marouane Fellaini.

Against the likes of Mesut Ozil, Aaron Ramsey, Tomas Rosicky and Mikel Arteta, United must hope their wingers and full-backs can shake up their midfield mixture enough for it to unexpectedly go off in Arsene Wenger's face, sending the Frenchman spluttering back to the Emirates stunned.

Wayne Rooney and Robin van Persie will be the difference should United rise to the occasion with a resurrection of their title defence on the horizon should they manage to halt the Gunners at Old Trafford.

A win for Arsenal would further elevate their title hopes from the realms of fancy to truly threatening, and a victory in Manchester would go some way to proving that Wenger's team have the substance as well as the style to answer every challenge leading up to Christmas.

Their ability to hold on into spring and beyond will remain untested until the league finds itself in the midst of the run-in, but until then, big wins against supposed top-four opponents will do much to justify the hype around Ramsey and Co.

Yet there is a sense that United, having been written off as a club preparing to shred its legacy at every turn once more, are more than capable of responding like a cornered rat jumping for the jugular with similarly dramatic results.

It won't be another 8-2 massacre, but Moyes could be about to score his first big win as a United manager on Sunday.
