Former Man United striker, Dimitar Berbatov has said English Premier League (EPL) champions, Man City, North London club, Arsenal and his former side will win their weekend league fixtures comfortably.
Man City host Chelsea in Saturday’s late kick-off at the Etihad Stadium, in what is the pick of the bunch.
Arsenal on the other hand, travel to Tuff Moor on Saturday to face relegation strugglers, Burnley, while Man United are away at Luton Town on Sunday.

Speaking about the possible outcome of the matches, Berbatov told BetFair that all the games will end with the same score line in favour of the Citizens, the Gunners and the Red Devils.
He said: “Burnley vs Arsenal – Games like this are important for Arsenal because if you drop points, then you’re not mature enough to win the title. I’ll go for Arsenal to win. Prediction 1-3.
“Man City vs Chelsea – I don’t think City will underestimate Chelsea because they’re not that stupid because they’re fighting and chasing Liverpool. City are at home so I think it’ll be a win for them. Prediction 3-1.
“Luton vs Man United – As long as United don’t let themselves be bullied by Luton, especially on set pieces, then United have enough quality to outsmart them. So I’ll go for United to win. United need to win to move closer to the top four. Prediction 1-3.”
A win for Man City could take them above league leaders, Liverpool if they lose or draw against Brentford in the early kick off.
Arsenal will leapfrog the league champions if they score one more goal than them this weekend, while Man United could go within 3 points of the top four.
