Jeff Stelling is on hand with his Soccer Saturday Super 6 advice after nailing three correct scores last weekend.

With only one of the most popular scorelines proving correct predictions, Jeff offers his expertise for this week's six selected fixtures:

Punters predict: 28% say Sunderland 1-1 Norwich

"Did that 28% not see Sunderland try to defend last week? It was a shambles that shocked the manager and fans alike and it’s worth bearing in mind that Norwich created chances despite losing to Palace. They are also impressive on the road and are unbeaten in 11 away league games, with a 12th being a club record. They will go there with the attitude they can win and I think they will do."

Jeff predicts: Sunderland 1-2 Norwich

Punters predict: 33% say Swansea 2-1 Newcastle

"Newcastle showed promise in their opening game but the defensive vulnerabilities remain. Swansea have picked up more points versus Newcastle since their arrival in the Premier League than any other side and will be confident they can add to that haul following a thoroughly impressive performance against the champions Chelsea. I agree with the 33 per cent that the Swans will win but I'm going for a 2-0 home victory."

Jeff predicts: Swansea 2-0 Newcastle

Punters predict: 26% say Tottenham 2-1 Stoke

"This is a hard to call and the reason I say that is that Spurs look like they will be so reliant on Kane and Eriksen again. You might say that if you can stop Kane then you stop Spurs and he’s never scored against Stoke so I’m going for a stalemate in this one."

Punters predict: 24% say Watford 1-1 West Brom

"West Brom are unbeaten in their last 14 meeting against Watford but I can see them troubling their visitors. Quique Flores has so much firepower at his disposal, with an attack which scored 48 home goals last season. West Brom looked shaky at back, admittedly against a very good Manchester City attack, and I see Watford getting a first win under their belt here."

Jeff predicts: Watford 2-1 West Brom

Punters predict: 22% say West Ham 2-1 Leicester

"Both were very impressive on the opening weekend but West Ham have not won their first two since 1997. However, they were so good at times against Arsenal. (Dimitri) Payet was full of creativity and (Diafra) Sakho ran his socks off. Leicester were also very good in beating Sunderland but West Ham have won seven of their last eight clashes with the Foxes at Upton Park."

Jeff predicts: West Ham 2-0 Leicester

Punters predict: 31% say Middlesbrough 2-0 Bolton

"I’m with that 31% for this one - a 2-0 home win is exactly what I’m going with. Boro kept a Sky Bet Football League high of 21 clean sheets last season, while Bolton have not scored in four including the back-end of last season, so it’s just a question of by how many."

Jeff predicts: Middlesbrough 2-0 Bolton
