Charlie's prediction

It is a big Super 6 this one. Jeff Stelling will be amazed if he has to splash out another £250,000 this weekend - it is so unpredictable.

Watford will be working away with Quique Sanchez Flores, despite some poor results since coming back to the club, with Tottenham coming back at sixes and sevens after the international break. They are all over the place.
