Jeff Stelling takes on the punters with his Super 6 predictions

Jeff Stelling is on hand with his Soccer Saturday Super 6 predictions ahead of the third round of the £250,000 football prediction game.

The Soccer Saturday host expects Leicester's winning run to continue and predicts more misery for Sunderland as they host Swansea.

Punters predict: 32% say Crystal Palace 2-1 Aston Villa

"I'm going for a Palace win because I don't think Villa have got the firepower required at this level and that's why I can see Super 6 players going with Palace. They played really well against Arsenal last week. There's an awful lot to like about Palace. They are full of quality these days with the likes of Cabaye, Puncheon, Bolasie and Zaha and I also think they are going to be good defensively this season, their central defenders are no-nonsense and overall I think all-round they will be too strong for Villa."

Jeff predicts: Crystal Palace 2-0 Aston Villa

Punters predict: 21% say Leicester 1-1 Tottenham

"I'm worried for Spurs at the moment. They didn't lose consecutively away Premier League games all of last season but that's what they are facing at Leicester. Leicester have this tidal wave of momentum at the moment which has been carried on from last season. I think the Foxes can maintain that momentum. Spurs have shown next to nothing at the moment and still rely too much on Harry Kane so I'm going to go for the Tinkerman to come out on top."

Jeff predicts: Leicester 2-1 Tottenham

Punters predict: 23% say Norwich 1-1 Stoke 

"Norwich did well at Sunderland last week but they were giving some huge helping hands by the home side. They've not lost the first two home league games in a season since 1999, but I thought in the last half hour at White Hart Lane you saw how good Stoke could be this season. They've also got Shaqiri ready to start by all accounts and I think they've got a lot of flair about them. Norwich defensively I'm not convinced by so I'm going for a Mark Hughes win."

Jeff predicts: Norwich 1-2 Stoke

Punters predict: 29% say Sunderland 0-2 Swansea

"On the basis of what we've seen so far from both sides you have to feel it will be a convincing away win. Sunderland seven goals conceded in two games, they don't score goals, they don't look likely to score and they don't look likely to stop conceding. I don't understand, why almost everyday, we haven't seen Sunderland linked with new signings but there's been no movement which I find incredible. Swansea have been fantastic so far with Jefferson Montero the star of the show both weeks. You have to worry about whoever will be marking Montero as he's torn a couple of full-backs apart already so I'm going with the 29%."

Jeff predicts:  Sunderland 0-2 Swansea

Punters predict: 26% say West Ham 2-0 Bournemouth 

"Bournemouth have never failed to score in their first three league games of any season and they had a perfectly good goal at Liverpool chalked off, but they deserved something from that game and I'm sure that performance has given them a lot of encouragement. West Ham have been hit and miss so far but the one thing you can say is Dimitri Payet has been sensational for them so far since he came to the Premier League. This is pretty hard to call but I don't see West Ham keeping a clean sheet but they will squeak it."

Jeff predicts: West Ham 2-1 Bournemouth 

Punters predict: 22% say Charlton 1-1 Hull

"A lot of people are going to look at Hull and go with them because they still have Premier League quality from last season and it's been their best start in 22 years. I do like Charlton and since Guy Luzon has come in they've had an exceptional record. They didn't lose for the first 11 games when he took charge and haven't lost this season. I've just got a fancy for Charlton. It will be a tight game. Hull don't score too many goals but I think Charlton will edge it."
