The Premier League action is coming thick and fast on Sky Sports with seven games being televised live in just six days, and Paul Merson is here with his final midweek prediction. Weve had Manchester Citys 3-0 win at Chelsea on Saturday, Leicesters thrilling 2-2 draw against West Ham, Arsenals 1-1 draw with Crystal Palace, Tottenhams awesome four-goal showing at Stoke in Monday Night Football, Citys 1-1 draw at a rejuvenated Newcastle, and Liverpools 4-0 derby thumping of Everton.Arsenal against West Brom on Thursday completes the feast of football, with the Gunners in dire need of boost following their disappointing showing against Palace. See who Merson is backing below...Arsenal v West Brom - Thursday, 7pm, Sky Sports 1 HD The feast of football ends on Thursday as Arsenal take on West Brom How have Arsenal not won the league? You look at their fixtures now and they have the perfect run-in, but inconsistency has again cost them. I dont see them having any problems against West Brom at the Emirates. It will be a comfortable win for the Gunners.PAUL PREDICTS: 3-0 (Sky Bet odds: 11/2) Mersons earlier predictions...Chelsea v Manchester CityThe gap between Manchester City in fourth and Manchester United in fifth is just five points and I fully expect Louis van Gaals side to close the gap by the time kick-off comes around at Stamford Bridge. Its a massive game for City.They had a brilliant result in midweek and you have to hand it to them after they reached the Champions League semi-finals, but they cannot take their eye off the ball against Chelsea. Its still a huge ask to win the Champions League so the league is crucial. However, I think Chelsea win and blow the top four wide open.PAUL PREDICTS: 2-1 - Result: 0-3Leicester v West HamI was really disappointed in West Ham the other night. I had only really seen highlights of Slaven Bilics side this season and thought they looked excellent, but having watched the whole game against Manchester United, they were really poor.United put in a very good display at Upton Park but for me, West Ham didnt do enough. They didnt get enough crosses into the box and there is no point playing Andy Carroll if you are not going to get the ball into the penalty area. If youd have asked me for a prediction on Monday Id have said Im not sure, but now I cant see anything but a Leicester win.However, I still see a twist to come in the title race.PAUL PREDICTS: 2-1 - Result: 2-2Arsenal v Crystal PalaceArsenal are the best team in the world when the pressure is off. They will win this game because Crystal Palace are now in a position where they can afford to rest players ahead of the FA Cup semi-final.They can lose this game heavily, it wont matter. The manager, the players and the fans will move on to Wembley.PAUL PREDICTS: 3-0 - Result: 1-1Stoke v TottenhamI never really go against Stoke at home. They are a very good team in front of their own fans but for me Tottenham win. I really fancy an away win. I have been impressed with Spurs, they are a good, good team.Looking ahead to next season, Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester City, Manchester United and Liverpool all need players. Tottenham need only a few fringe players, they dont need players to go straight into the team. I really think they are well up there again next season, one of the favourites.PAUL PREDICTS: 1-3 - Result: 0-4Newcastle v Man CityDepending on results, Newcastle could well be staring relegation in the face come Tuesday night. Defeat to Swansea and a Norwich victory against Sunderland at the weekend would see Rafael Benitezs side nine points adrift of safety with five games to play.Its also a crucial game for City in the race for the top-four places so they will be going all out for three points at St James Park. Its difficult to see past a City victory, with Manuel Pellegrinis side securing all three points.PAUL PREDICTS: 0-2 - Result: 1-1Liverpool v EvertonRoberto Martinez will be hoping it snows and the game gets postponed. Its a nightmare fixture for Everton with an FA Cup semi-final just around the corner. I have to back Liverpool here. Its a huge game on Merseyside but with the Wembley date in mind, I see Jurgen Klopps side winning easily.PAUL PREDICTS: 3-0 - Result: 4-0 Get a Sky Sports Day Pass Don;t miss Arsenal v West Brom.

He is pleased with the health of the league, and there have been no internal discussions about adding teams.It doesnt mean that it wont happen down the road.If we go through a formal expansion process, then we will have to evaluate that very question, Bettman said Tuesday during an interview with The Associated Press inside his Manhattan office. What we are doing is continuing to listen to expressions of interest, and were pleased that there are lots of expressions of interest, but we havent and are not ready to deal with them in a very structured, formal way and make that decision.Before any expansion discussions can be held, the NHL will have to decide how many teams is enough, and if adding others will water down the product.That would require us to do an analysis we havent done, Bettman said. If you look around, there is no list on the wall ranking cities where were not. Were listening. There is apparently a lot to listen to, but at this point thats all were dooing.dddddddddddd.And now that the Coyotes are again firmly entrenched in Arizona, there is no immediate risk of any team moving, either.There is no reason to relocate, Bettman said. The 30 franchises have never been healthier, never been better owned, never been more stable.But back in 2013, the Coyotes were in flux and a candidate to switch cities. A story in the Seattle Times said that the Coyotes were hours and one city council vote away from being sold and packed up to Seattle.The Seattle Times reported that if the Glendale City Council hadnt voted 4-3 in favour of an arena lease agreement with IceArizona, buyers from Seattle were in position to buy and relocate the team the next day.Bettman disputed how close that transaction really was to coming to fruition.I think that is a bit of an exaggeration, he said. We were at one point considering options, but it never got that close to anywhere, and Seattle wasnt the only place that was talking to us. But it made for a good story in Seattle.In the 1990s until the turn of the century, the NHL grew from 21 teams to 30 the most recent additions being the Columbus Blue Jackets and Minnesota Wild in 2000. The last team to move was the Atlanta Thrashers, who relocated to Winnipeg, Manitoba, in 2011 and became the second generation of the Winnipeg Jets.
