After the fun of the FA Cup, the Premier League is back.
And what could we possibly enjoy more than a bumper midweek special?
There's plenty of tasty games ahead over the next couple of nights including Arsenal's trip to Liverpool and Tottenham vs Leicester part II.
Simon Bird is away this week so I've looked into my crystal ball to predict the outcome of the 10 Premier League encounters.
It's quite something when Louis van Gaal is lamenting his own side for their boring football.
“There are matches that I’ve enjoyed very much,” said Van Gaal.
“But there are also matches where I’m very bored or angry, because we are not disorganising our opponent’s defence."
Saturday's clash with Sheffield United must fall into the latter category with a stoppage time Wayne Rooney penalty needed to edge past the League One side.
Next up for "boring, boring Man United" is Newcastle - who couldn't be further away from their previous status as the Premier League's great entertainers
Steve McClaren's men haven't scored in four and remain in real danger of relegation.
Having once been a classic top-flight fixture, this one is unlikely to get too many off their seats anymore - but the visitors should just nick it.
Would Villa fans take the season ending now?
Barring a miracle, they are on their way down and recent bust-ups between players and fans are only going to make matters worse.
The fact their draw with Wycombe is one of the better results of the season says it all.
It won't get any easier against Palace who are excellent on the road - and should have far too much.
Eddie Howe's men have been crying out for a striker ever since Callum Wilson suffered a serious knee ligament injury back in September.
Now they have two - and they've coughed up plenty of cash to get them.
£10m for Benik Afobe and £8m for Lewis Grabban shows the Cherries' intent but neither are proven at this level.
Why didn't they go all out for Charlie Austin?
West Ham remain in the hunt for Europe and have had some very decent results on the road this term.
Whisper it quietly, but there is something of a resurgence going on at Stamford Bridge under Guus Hiddink.
Baggies boss Tony Pulis insists it is "c***" to suggest the Dutchman is responsible but there's no doubt the players are now enjoying their football once again.
One of those rejuvenated is Diego Costa, who is starting to show signs of his form from the early weeks of last season.
West Brom won't make it easy and we know Tony Pulis will be more than happy to sit 11 men behind the ball and let Chelsea try and break them down.
Part 2 of a January trilogy between these two sides.
Everton grabbed the impetus in the Capital One Cup semi-final last week and were well worth their 2-1 victory.
But you wouldn't expect City - and their big-hitters - to be so off-colour again.
Sergio Aguero was back at it against Norwich and if he can replicate that level of performance, he could run riot against this leaky Everton defence.
The again, City aren't too clever at the other end of the field either. Expect more goals.
Watford have been a joy to watch on their return to the Premier League but face a real test of their credentials in the coming weeks.
To say they were unfortunate to lose against Tottenham and Man City is an understatement - but the reality is they let those games slip away late on.
Striking duo Odion Ighalo and Troy Deeney look set to stay put and a top 10 finish, which would be outstanding, appears very realistic.
Southampton on the other hand have been in woeful form, besides the win over Arsenal, and are lucky there are a number of teams significantly worse than them.
After 20 games, we are still left wondering which Stoke side will turn up.
Mark Hughes' men have had some excellent results, particularly in December as they beat the two Manchester clubs and Everton.
But their inconsistencies were on show again in their first game of 2016 as they were defeated by West Brom and former boss Tony Pulis.
Norwich meanwhile look a good a shout to stay up but tend to pick up a lot of their points at Carrow Road.
Is it too early for the proverbial six-pointer?
After Swansea sacked Garry Monk, we all expected them to have a ready-made replacement lined up.
Whether they did or not remains to be seen but Alan Curtis has an almighty task on his hands - as was proved at Oxford on Sunday.
Of course he is not responsible, but this does have striking similarities to when Mick McCarthy left Wolves - and we all know how that ended up.
Liverpool and Jurgen Klopp will be back in familiar surroundings on Wednesday night after the trip to Exeter.
The Reds boss was forced to ring the changes for the FA Cup clash and although the youngsters impressed, Christian Benteke is the only one you'd expect to be involved against Arsenal.
Nevertheless, it will be a patched-up side that Klopp fields against the Gunners as his side's injury woes continue.
For Wednesday night's opponents, everything is going swimmingly right now after easing past Sunderland in the FA Cup.
You wouldn't put it past them to win the competition for a third successive year but the title has to be the aim.
They'll never get a better chance and three points at Anfield would be the indicator that this might just be their year.
Fresh from a frantic cup tie, these two meet again at White Hart Lane.
There will be changes aplenty from both sides with the likes of Kane, Alli and Mahrez certain to return, while Jamie Vardy could also be available.
It's been three league games without a goal for the Foxes and everything indicates they may now suffer a drop in form after their incredible start.
A full-strength Spurs side should have too much at White Hart Lane - but how many times have we wrote Leicester off already?
