Sky Sports Paul Merson is back to look ahead to another crucial round of Premier League fixtures. Following Leicesters capture of the title, the Foxes coronation takes place live on Saturday Night Football as Everton travel to the King Power Stadium.With the title wrapped up thoughts turn to the race for the top four and the battle to stay in the division, and nowhere is this more evident than at Carrow Road where relegation-threatened Norwich host Manchester United in Saturdays early kick-off. Pick your team Aguero? Ozil? De Bruyne? Pick your Fantasy Six-a-Side team for the chance to win £10,000 Our Super Sunday double bills gets underway at White Hart Lane where Spurs look to secure second spot behind Leicester when they host Southampton.All eyes will then turn to the Etihad Stadium where Manchester City and Arsenal will try to cement their respective positions in the top four.Read on to see who the Magic Man is backing... Last weeks predictions Result Merses prediction Arsenal 1-0 Norwich 3-0 Everton 2-1 Bmouth 2-1 Newcastle 1-0 Palace 2-1 Stoke 1-1 Sunderland 1-1 Watford 3-2 Aston Villa 1-1 West Brom 0-3 West Ham 1-2 Soton 4-2 Man City 1-1 Man Utd 1-1 Leicester 2-1 Swansea 3-1 Liverpool 2-2 Chelsea 2-2 Spurs 3-2 Leicester v Everton - Saturday Night Football, from 5pm, Sky Sports 1 HD This is a big game for Roberto Martinez. I dont think he can go there, roll over and watch Leicester win the trophy. I think itll be a very, very entertaining game, but I do think Leicester will win it. With their momentum, and everything about the game, I can see them winning it, just to finish the party off. Martinez is getting a lot of criticism. I think hes a very good manager abroad, I think his teams play good football but I think it suits La Liga and not the Premier League.PAUL PREDICTS: 2-1 (Sky Bet odds 15/2)Tottenham v Southampton - Super Sunday, from 1pm, Sky Sports 1 HD All of a sudden Tottenham have gone from title chasers to wondering if theyre going to finish above Arsenal. For me, theyve got to give their all for this game if they can. If they dont finish above Arsenal, thats a double blow after not winning the league, for the fans especially. Theyve had a great season, but I think this will be a difficult game. Im going to go 2-2, I think Southampton are a decent team, and Tottenham may just have a hangover. Ronald Koeman has done a brilliant job at Southampton, and Id like to see him at Arsenal if Im honest. Hes a top, top manager.PAUL PREDICTS: 2-2 (Sky Bet odds 12/1)Man City v Arsenal - Super Sunday, from 3.30pm, Sky Sports 1 HD I think Arsenal win this game. Man City will have a hangover, although Ive never seen anything like that game at the Bernabeu. I had to watch the game and remind myself it was a Champions League semi-final. After 15 minutes, Sergio Aguero is getting the ball off the centre-half. Ive never seen anything like it. If theres ever a chance for Arsenal to win at the Etihad again, this is the game. If they dont win this game, youd have to ask serious questions. Man City are there for the taking, all day long.PAUL PREDICTS 1-2 (Sky Bet odds 9/1) Paul Merson runs through his Sky Sports Fantasy Six-a-Side team as he takes on Phil Thompson for Man City v Arsenal Norwich v Man Utd - Saturday, 12.45pm I think this will be a good game, its one of those that both teams have to win. Theres no point playing like Man City, theyre both going to come out and have a go, and Ill go Man United to pip it in a high-scoring game. Itll be entertaining, Norwich are fighting for their lives and so are United but in a different context. I just dont see this one being a boring game.PAUL PREDICTS: 2-3 (Sky Bet odds 28/1)Aston Villa v Newcastle - Saturday, 3pmI think theres more of a twist than people think in this. Newcastle are odds of 1/2 here. Theyve taken one point away from home in 2016, how can you justify being 1/2? I know Villa havent been great, but you cant be backing a team at 1/2 away from home with a record like that. Im going 1-1 here, because Newcastle will have to come out and have a go, and Villa will cause a few problems. Newcastle went down at Villa in 2009 and will be out for revenge but the Villa fans wont want to lie down either. I just think people see this as nailed on, but I dont.PAUL PREDICTS: 1-1 (Sky Bet odds 6/1)Bournemouth v West Brom - Saturday, 3pmWest Brom have done the job by staying up. There could be three huge football clubs going down this year, and West Brom are staying up, that just tells you everything about the job Tony Pulis has done there. Fans might want more as the years go by with Pulis, but Charlton wanted a bit more when Alan Curbishley kept them up every year, where are they now? Be careful what you wish for.Eddie Howe is up there among the managers of the year. Bournemouth have done a good job, but next season they might not be riding on that wave after promotion.PAUL PREDICTS: 2-1 (Sky Bet odds 7/1)Crystal Palace v Stoke - Saturday, 3pmI knew Stoke wouldnt lose last weekend after being beaten badly three on the trot, and I was impressed with Palace giving it a right go at Newcastle. Palace wont start resting players for the FA Cup final just yet, and its the last home game of the season so I think theyll try and put on a bit of a show. Theres not a lot between these two sides. Some would say Stoke have been indifferent this season with Mark Hughes, but its only really been the last few games. Other than that I think theyve been very entertaining. Everybody is being judged compared to Leicester it seems, so for everyone else its a bit of a benchmark, but theyve finished above teams they probably didnt think they would at the start of the season.PAUL PREDICTS: 1-1 (Sky Bet odds 5/1)Sunderland v Chelsea - Saturday, 3pmThis is massive, and Im predicting Sunderland to win this. I say that because Chelsea had their cup final on Monday, and now a lot of players will have their eyes on the Euros. If Sunderland can come out and start getting stuck in early on, make it a real cup tie if you like, a lot of the Chelsea players will have one eye on the summer. Sunderland should have more fight about them, Chelsea put most of theirs into Monday, and I wouldnt be surprised if a few players are rested. Its so much more important for Sunderland.PAUL PREDICTS: 2-1 (Sky Bet odds 9/1)West Ham v Swansea - Saturday, 3pmI can see West Ham winning this easily - 3-0. Swansea go to Leicester and lie down, and then host Liverpool and theyre like the Harlem Globetrotters, and that sums it all up for them this season. West Ham can still creep into the top four, and I really think theyll win their last three games. Even if they dont, this is a superb season for them going into the Olympic Stadium. Theres a buzz around Upton Park, and they should carry that down the road. The last game will be emotional, but I see them romping to a win here.PAUL PREDICTS: 3-0 (Sky Bet odds 9/1)Liverpool v Watford - Sunday, 4pmAfter their Europa League win, surely Liverpool have to rest their key players until the final, its their chance of getting through to the Champions League. Football has gone mad with this Quique Sanchez Flores situation. This is the first time theyve stayed up after being promoted to the Premier League, and he got them to the semi-final of an FA Cup. They got promoted last year and sacked the manager, so nothing surprises me. The problem is, they dont get it wrong too often, so you cant be too judgmental. Well have to see, they just want to keep improving.PAUL PREDICTS: 2-0 (Sky Bet odds 13/2)PLAY SUPER 6!Theres another £250,000 jackpot up for grabs in the latest round of the Soccer Saturday Super 6 game. All you have to do is predict the scores of the six selected matches. Its free to play so get your entries in before 3pm GMT on Saturday for the chance to win.PLAY NOW...

Then youve got to worry about the other up and coming teams in the two weaker divisions in the "Junior Circuit".UNIONDALE, N.Y. -- Now that Jaromir Jagr has 700 NHL goals in the bank, the future Hockey Hall of Famer is already setting his sights on his next big milestone. There are only six guys who have ever scored more. So yes, this is a significant marker to reach. "Maybe not for Wayne Gretzky, but for the rest of us its a very big number -- 800 is a little bit better than 700," he said. Jagr scored in the second period of the New Jersey Devils 6-1 victory over the New York Islanders on Saturday. Through bits of laughter, Jagr suggested that 800 goals is attainable, as well as Gretzkys record 894. With tongue firmly in cheek, Jagr said he could get to the first number in two years and Gretzkys mark in four. So far, he has no plans for the special puck that got past goalie Evgeni Nabokov. "I might save the 800th one, but I dont know what I am going to do with the 700th," he said with a smile. Jagrs tally sparked New Jerseys four-goal second period, and Martin Brodeur earned the win in his first start in over a month. Jagr gave the Devils a 2-0 lead early in the second, and Ryane Clowe, Marek Zidlicky, and Mark Fayne followed in rapid succession. The four goals came in a span of 4:36 in the first 8:07 of the second. Adam Henrique opened the scoring with a power-play goal at 5:00 of the first. New Jersey needed only 12 shots to net its first four goals and 16 total to get to five against the beleaguered Nabokov. Clowe and Zidlicky, with a milestone assist from Jagr, also tallied during power plays. "The game went away from us pretty quickly. We deflated after they scored two power-play goals," Nabokov said. "This is part of the business. You got knocked down, but you have to get up again and you have to do the job. "When the penalty kill is good, the goalie makes the saves. Today that wasnt the case." Kyle Okposo cut New Yorks deficit to 3-1 at 6:14 of the second with his team-leading 25th goal, but the Devils quickly answered with two more goals. Anders Nilsson, recalled Saturday from Bridgeport (AHL), made 15 saves in the third period in place of Nabokov, who stopped only 14 shots. Eric Gelinas scored a power-play goal with 38.1 seconds left to make it 6-1. Brodeur, the subject of trade rumours less than a week before the NHL deadline, played for the first time since being pulled from a loss to the New York Rangers on Jan. 26 at Yankee Stadium when he allowed six goals on 21 shots in two periods. Cory Schneider started all seven games since. "I am happy Im back playing. Thats the bottom line," Brodeur said. "I play hockey to play hockey games. Its been a hard month. "I wish every game was like that. It would make it a lot easier on us. I did my job in the first with the chances they had after we scored our goal to keep the gamee under control.dddddddddddd The second and third we just took over." Brodeur, who said he did the rare move of tapping his stick to honour Jagrs milestone goal, stopped 10 shots in the first period and 18 overall in earning his 14th win this season and 683rd of his NHL career. "I didnt have a great warmup, so I was kind of really bearing down in the game," Brodeur said. "They got some great chances early on and I was able to make the saves. That makes you feel a little bit good about your game." Brodeur said he had thoughts that this could be his final game with the Devils, the only NHL team for which he has played. He holds the right to refuse any trade. "Its just a little different because my name has been swarming around a little bit," the soon-to-be 42-year-old Brodeur said of trade rumours. "We have a couple of more days to go and we will see what the future will bring for me." The 42-year-old Jagr moved into the elite goal group when he netted his 19th of the season. The Islanders have been Jagrs top target in his 20 NHL seasons. He has 61 goals and 88 assists in 101 career games. "Is it that many? I love this team," Jagr said. "Its my favourite team. Thats a lot of goals. Its almost 10 per cent." Jagr stickhandled from the right wing boards into the slot and then slid a shot along the ice that eluded Nabokov at 3:31 of the second. Jagr was surrounded by his teammates on the ice with him and then skated across the front of the bench, patting gloves along the way. He received a nice ovation from the crowd when his milestone was announced. "Well they knew I scored 61 goals against them," he said with yet another laugh. The Islanders are the only team from the old Patrick Division for which Jagr, a recent Czech Republic Olympian, has never played. This is his first season with New Jersey. Jagr is only eight goals behind Mike Gartner, sixth on the NHL career list. Jagr is seventh in career points with 1,740. Gretzky netted his 700th goal on Long Island on Jan. 3, 1991, while with Los Angeles. Marcel Dionne, then of the Rangers, also reached the mark against the Islanders at Nassau Coliseum on Oct. 31, 1987. Dionne is fourth with 731 goals. Jagr later set up Zidlickys goal that pushed the Devils ahead 4-1. It was Jagrs 1,040th assist, tying him with Dionne for ninth in NHL history. NOTES: Devils captain Bryce Salvador missed the game because of a bruised collarbone. D Anton Volchenkov took his place in the lineup. RW Damien Brunner also sat out because of a charley horse in his left leg. C Jacob Josefson replaced him. ... The Islanders loaned G Kevin Poulin to Bridgeport (AHL). ... Clowe, Henrique and Zidlicky had two-point games. ... New York had killed 21 of 22 penalties over eight games before yielding four power-play goals. ' ' '
