Pressure is hotting up at both ends of the Premier League table this week, with a full programme of fixtures across Tuesday and Wednesday.

At the bottom, Newcastle and Aston Villa head into their clash knowing defeat could see a calamitous season hit new lows with a place in a relegation zone.

Friendly rivalry: Jamie Redknapp and Martin Keown have predicted this midweek's Premier League results

Closer to the top, Arsenal and Liverpool, both still very much the outsiders in the four-way race for the Champions League places, square off at Emirates Stadium, though even three points won't see either side overtake Tottenham, who are at Norwich.

As for the title-chasing trio, Chelsea and Manchester City are away - the champions at QPR and the Blues at Reading, while Manchester United welcome Southampton to Old Trafford.

With so much at stake - and so soon after one of the most memorable weekends of FA Cup upsets - a surprise, or two, are certainly not out of the question.

Rafa Benitez

Alan Pardew

Arsene Wenger

But where do our experts see the points going? Martin Keown and Jamie Redknapp, themselves no strangers to playing under intense pressure, have had their say on all 10 games taking place.

If it's goals you want, both suggest you head to north London. In the west of the capital a shock could be on the cards if Jamie is to be believed, while Martin thinks a similarly surprising result could happen at the Madjeski.

Excellent. Now all I have to do is bet on the exact opposite result to the one Jamie predicts, and I'll make some easy money. Thanks.

I know he loves his old club but it is quite pathetic that Martin has never predicted that Arsenal will lose.I know Soton haven't let in many goals lately but I think United should be looking to score 4 or 5.- Fergus Sira-Lexon , England,>>>And we know that you love your club and even Southampton as you said have not let in many goals lately and why must Soton this game to concede 4 to 5 goals. Just because is your beloved Man U that they are playing. Pathetic, you said?

I know he loves his old club but it is quite pathetic that Martin has never predicted that Arsenal will lose. That's not to say he's wrong to predict that they'll beat Liverpool. I actually agree with him there but surely he knows in his heart that Arsenal are going to lose every now and then? I can understand Jamie saying QPR will get a draw against City but I don't know what Martin is playing at. This is THE away banker of the season. Norwich are on a terrible run but I think Spurs are going to blow what is a great chance to finish 4th and I think this will be their 3rd successive draw. Chelsea are unreliable at the moment but they're great away from home and I wouldn't be surprised if they won by 2 or 3. City will be ahead of United on GD if they get level on points with them, so I hope United don't relax against Soton and try to score as many goals as they can. I know Soton haven't let in many goals lately but I think United should be looking to score 4 or 5.
