Premier League predictions Week 11: A North London showdown

An international break is upon us, but before we get there, the Premier League has one more weekend of play. And it's no ordinary weekend — it's a North London Derby weekend.

(All times ET)

Sunderland are off to the worst start in league history. Literally the worst. To say they're awful is an understatement and this could be David Moyes' last match in charge. Another loss and, well, the international break makes for a convenient time to switch in a new manager.

Prediction: Bournemouth 2-1 Sunderland

Both teams have had flashes of good play, but they're also been unable to pull themselves out of the relegation fight muck. The good news is that the bottom of the league looks bad enough that it may not matter much.

Manchester City are beginning to find their form again and Kevin De Bruyne is back at his best. Pep Guardiola's men are going to be scary again before long. And they'll be scary to Boro.

Prediction: Manchester City 3-0 Middlesbrough

Both of these teams started the season horribly, but have started to rack up points. You'd think that the Hammers being at home would be an advantage, but the Olympic Stadium hasn't been kind to them.

Prediction: West Ham 1-1 Stoke

Which Everton will show up? The one that looks as good as any team in the league or the one that continues to stumble? It probably doesn't matter much this week because Chelsea are at home and they're playing some truly terrific soccer right now.

Predicition: Chelsea 2-0 Everton

This is the premier match of the weekend and it could be one of the biggest anywhere in England this season. The obvious rivalry, intensity and hatred is there, but both Spurs and Arsenal are in the title race this year. There's no obvious favorite right now and, even if they miss out on first, the race for the top four runs six deep so every point is crucial. Spurs are without Toby Alderweireld and Erik Lamela, but Harry Kane is expected to return and they've yet to lose to the Gunners in the league since Mauricio Pochettino took over.

Poor Hull. They got off to such a promising start, but are now every bit the awful team that most everyone expected them to be before the season. Getting promoted, losing top players and refusing to spend on any significant additions isn't a good approach for avoiding relegation.

Predicition: Hull 0-2 Southampton

Both Jurgen Klopp and Walter Mazzarri are strong, personable managers with a bit of a strangeness. They're also both excellent bosses who have gotten their teams to buy-in this season. But Klopp has more talent.

Predicition: Liverpool 2-1 Watford

Swansea have been playing better under Bob Bradley, but they need the results to start reflecting that. Hosting Manchester United isn't a great way to turn things around, but Jose Mourinho's men haven't just been bad of late — they're showing no signs of improvement and dealing with injuries.

Prediction: Swansea 1-1 Manchester United

These are two teams that haven't been especially pretty. And that won't change this weekend.

Prediction: Leicester 1-0 West Brom
