Saturday Early kick off
Manchester United vs Liverpool
All eyes will be on Old Trafford where 2nd vs 3rd take on each other in the Premier League grudge match on Matchday 20. Both sides are eyeing a place in the Champions League and, no doubt, there will be fireworks when they face in Saturday’s football match at the “Theatre of Dreams”. The Red Devils have been impressive at home ground so far this term and the fact that they defeated Chelsea in their last home game in the English top flight is certainly giving fans a reason for optimism ahead of the visit of Liverpool. The Reds, on the other hand, recorded a routine win over Newcastle United at the weekend, with the team moving one step closer to securing a top-four finish. Mohamed Salah looks unstoppable at the moment and all eyes will be on the Egypt international when the two teams face each other at Old Trafford.
Manchester United 2-2 Liverpool
3pm Kick offs:
Everton vs Brighton
Despite taking the lead in Saturday’s football match against Burnley, Everton eventually suffered a 2-1 loss to Burnley at Turf Moor. The Toffees have suffered a dip in form, but their Premier League status is no longer in danger. Anyhow, Sam Allardyce’s men aim to give fans some cheer and they are likely to go all guns blazing at Brighton when the two teams face each other at Goodison Park this weekend. The Seagulls have been impressive at home ground this season, but their performances on the road leave a lot to be desired. The Seagulls are on an eight-game winless run on the road in the English top flight and that is the main reason why there is a big value in betting on Everton, who are eager to get back on course.
A tight win for Everton
Everton 1-0 Brighton
Huddersfield Town vs Swansea City
As expected, Huddersfield Town failed to claim a major scalp last time out with the team suffering a 2-0 loss to Tottenham Hotspur at Wembley Stadium. The Terriers are still sitting in the danger zone in the Premier League standings, meaning that the match against fellow relegation-threatened side Swansea City is of big importance for the newcomers. The Swans, on the other hand, proved their worth in a 4-1 win over West Ham United, which helped them move away from bottom three in the Premier League table. Considering that Huddersfield Town and Swansea City are level on points ahead of Matchday 30, we predict that they are going to share the spoils at the John Smith’s Stadium. In each of their last three meetings in all competitions under 2.5 goals have been netted and we would not be surprised if the two teams play out a low-scoring draw in the English top flight this weekend.
Huddersfield Town 1-1 Swansea City
Newcastle United vs Southampton
As expected, Newcastle United were beaten by Liverpool at Anfield at the weekend and, as a result, the team’s Premier League status remains in great danger. The Magpies need to return to winning ways as soon as possible if they are to avoid relegation to the Championship and the fact that they outplayed Manchester United in their last home fixture in the league is certainly giving fans a reason for optimism ahead of the visit of Southampton. The Saints have been totally out of form in the second half of the season and they sit in the danger zone in the Premier League table ahead of Matchday 30. There will be fireworks when the two teams face each other at St. James’ Park, but seeing that Rafa Benitez’s men are a real force to be reckoned with at home, we predict that the Magpies will emerge triumphant.
Newcastle United 2-0 Southampton
West Bromwich Albion vs Leicester City
West Bromwich Albion’s form is not getting any better, with the team suffering yet another shocking defeat at the weekend. The Baggies were beaten by Watford at Vicarage Road in their last league match, with the team extending their losing run in the English elite division to three games. The rock-bottom side have slim chances of avoiding relegation to the Championship and they must be low on confidence ahead of Saturday’s match against Leicester City. The Foxes were on the verge of suffering a 1-0 loss to Bournemouth at the weekend, but thanks to Riyad Mahrez’s late goal Claude Puel’s men eventually picked up one point from the match. Leicester City extended their winless run in the English top flight to five games, but given WBA’s poor form, we predict that Jamie Vardy and Co. are going to give fans a reason for celebration this weekend.
West Bromwich Albion 0-2 Leicester
West Ham United vs Burnley
West Ham United will be aiming to make amends for a heavy 4-1 loss to Swansea City when they welcome Burnley to their London Stadium on Matchday 30. The Hammers obviously produce much better at home than on the travels and the fact that they outplayed Watford in their last home fixture is definitely giving fans a reason for optimism ahead of this huge match. The Clarets, came from behind to beat Everton at their Turf Moor at the weekend, with Chris Wood scoring the winner for the hosts in the 80th minute. Sean Dyche’s men, who are on the right track to finish the season in the top half of the table, are definitely capable of spoiling West Ham’s party at London Stadium and, taking everything into account, there is a big value in betting on the draw.
West Ham United 1-1 Burnley
Saturday Evening 17:30 kickoff:
Chelsea vs Crystal Palace
Stamford Bridge will host Saturday’s London derby between Chelsea and Crystal Palace, who have entirely different ambitions for the remainder of the season. The Blues aim to secure a top-four finish, whilst the Eagles will give 100% in order to secure yet another Premier League survival. Chelsea coach Antonio Conte is likely to quit his job at the end of the season and the lack of motivation seems to be the Blues’ main problem at the moment. Anyhow, seeing that Crystal Palace’s displays on the road leave a lot to be desired, we predict that Antonio Conte’s men are going to pick up all three points from Saturday’s football game. Roy Hodgson’s men are on a three-game winless run on the travels, with the team obviously struggling at the back. Crystal Palace sit in the relegation zone ahead of the local derby and we do not believe that they are capable of spoiling Chelsea’s party at Stamford Bridge. A chance to close the gap on Spurs to 2 points before they play on Sunday is a chance that must be taken at all costs.
Chelsea 2-0 Crystal Palace
Sunday 13:30 kick off
Arsenal Vs Watford
Arsenal come off what was probably their biggest and best performance of the season away to AC Milan in the San Siro on Thursday. Europa League specialist Mkhytarian scored the opener with Ramsey rounding off the keeper to seal a 2-0 away win. Watford have not performed well on the road of late and this could be a bad time to face Arsenal after they snapped their 4 game losing run in midweek. Wenger will most likely ring the changes with the return fixture in mind, but they should still have more than enough against a Watford side who should have more than enough to stay clear of the drop zone.
Arsenal 3-0 Watford
16:00 kick off
Bournemouth vs Tottenham Hotspur
Both teams have been flying in the league, with Bournemouth undefeated in 7 and Spurs remaining the only team to not have lost in 2018. A crushing blow to Spurs’ season came when Juventus turned on the style for 3 minutes in London to completely flip the Champions league tie on it’s head. Kane and co will be hurting very badly from that demoralising defeat to further back up that Spurs are just a team that have promise but fail to fulfill it year in year out. This could be a good time for Bournemouth to face spurs seeing as they might have their tails between the legs. It all depends on how spurs will face the game, either rise to the occasion or cave in. In reality, Spurs should comfortably gain 3 points here. However we feel as though if the home side score first, they could hold out and frustrate Spurs.
Bouremouth 1-0 Tottenham Hotspur
Monday Night Football:
Stoke City Vs Manchester City
Manchester City are tantilisingly close to claiming their 3rd premier league trophy, The league could be wrapped up when Manchester United make the short trip across Manchester. In the meantime, they must face a stoke side who are desperate for points. A Shaqiri inspired performance could end up seeing stoke possibly sneak a draw but with City’s strength across the whole pitch we just cannot see how this Man City team will drop any more points until the end of the season.
A fiesty Monday Night Football is in store, we expect many cards and tackles, and possibly many goals too.
Stoke City 2-4 Manchester City
