England Premier League

Venue:

 
 
Tottenham vs Newcastle Preview:
 
Tottenham have fallen 11 points behind a Champions League place and the disappointments keep mounting up for the club. They have gone without a win for their last 3 games and their latest game would have felt like a defeat even though it was a draw as Wolves scored late on in a 2-2 draw. By contrast Newcastle have won their last four games in a row and are scoring goals and playing good football. They have just beaten Manchester United 2-0 away from home. Perhaps Tottenham can give the Magpies a game at home but looking at recent form one would suspect the visitors to record their fifth win in a row. 
 
Prediction: 3-1 to Newcastle
 
Recommended Betting Tips: Newcastle to beat Tottenham at 2.10, First goalscorer: Alexander Isak at 5.00, Anytime goalscorer: Harvey Barnes at 2.40, Anytime goalscorer: Joelinton at 5.00, Correct Score: Newcastle to win 3-1 at 15.00
 
 
 
Aston Villa vs Leicester Preview:
 
Aston Villa will be the odds on favourites to win but recent form has taken some knocks and the club are finding consistency hard. Villa come into this game in 9th place with just one win in their last four. In their last match they drew 2-2 at home to Brighton. Leicester have lost 4 games in a row and have fallen to 19th place. They are only a point from safety but it's easy to see that this campaign is going to be a hard one for the Foxes. No one will complain that they lost their last game 2-0 against Manchester City but they are shipping a lot of goals lately and it feel like a surprise if they got anything here. 
 
Prediction: 3-0 to Aston Villa
 
Recommended Betting Tips: Half Time Result: Aston Villa to win at 1.80, Anytime goalscorer: Ollie Watkins at 1.80, Over 2.5 goals at 1.50
 
 
 
Bournemouth vs Everton Preview:
 
Bournemouth are having a successful season so far and will have their sights set on European football next season. The Cherries are in 7th place and are unbeaten in their last five games. With 30 points they are in confident mood although only 50% of those points have been won at home. Everton find themselves in a bothersome situation and are just one loss in theory to the dreaded relegation zone. The Toffees had impressed lately with superb defending in drawing against Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester City however they were beaten 2-0 at home to Nottingham Forest in their last game and problems persist. 
 
Prediction: 1-0 to Bournemouth
 
Recommended Betting Tips: Bournemouth to beat Everton at 1.80, Anytime goalscorer: Enes Unal at 3.00
 
 
 
Crystal Palace vs Chelsea Preview:
 
It's not been a good season for Crystal Palace so far but it's been a good end to the year with just one loss in their last five games and with 20 points they look to be pushing on and are currently five clear of the bottom three. The Eagles are fresh from beating bottom side Southampton. Is Chelsea's league hopes now over? It wasn't before Christmas but the Blues have managed just one point from their last nine, fallen to 4th place and are 10 points behind the league leaders Liverpool. More points dropped this weekend could more or less confirm it. Most certainly the Blues have hit a poor patch of form. 
 
Prediction: 1-1 draw
 
Recommended Betting Tips: Draw at 4.00, Under 2.5 goals at 2.50
 
 
 
Manchester City vs West Ham Preview:
 
It's incredible to think that Manchester City have only won 5 points from their last 15 and are in sixth place and 14 points behind Liverpool. City are not finished yet though and they did end their poor run with a win over Leicester. Can they make it back to back wins this weekend, we believe so. West Ham were blown apart at home to Liverpool in their last game losing 5-0 however the Hammers form had picked up recently. This keeps on being a tough ground for the club to come to and now they have lost the services of a player than can usually provide them with goals in Jarrod Bowen. For City they could move into 5th with victory.
 
Prediction: 4-1 to Manchester City
 
Recommended Betting Tips: Half Time Result: Manchester City at 1.66, Anytime goalscorer: Erling Haaland at 1.50, Anytime goalscorer: Phil Foden at 3.25, Anytime goalscorer: Jeremy Doku at 4.00
 
 
 
Southampton vs Brentford Preview:
 
Southampton needs to pick up points and if it will happen then it's going to be at home. Incredibly the Saints have just 6 points and we are at the halfway stage of the season. They did put up a fight against Crystal Palace in their latest game but yet again that ended in defeat. Brentford were humbled at home for only the second time this season as they were outclassed 3-1 against title chasing Arsenal. The Bees season could well implode as they drop down the table and only have 24 points so far and have only won 1 point from their last 12. This is a big opportunity for Southampton to stake a rare win.
 
Prediction: 2-1 to Southampton
 
Recommended Betting Tips: Southampton to beat Brentford at 3.00, Anytime goalscorer: Adam Armstrong at 3.25, Correct Score: Southampton to win 2-1 at 13.00
 
 
 
Brighton vs Arsenal Preview:
 
The Seagulls should be a stern test for title chasing Arsenal. Brighton have fallen to 10th place having drawn 3 of their last games in a row with their latest finishing in a decent 2-2 draw at Aston Villa. At home Brighton have lost just once and their majority result is the draw with 5 so far. Arsenal are into 2nd place after a very good 3-1 win away to Brentford and perhaps the Gunners has emerged as the best challenge to Liverpool for the title. However a lot could change this weekend. Arsenal have won 18 points from 30 away from home and currently in decent form on the road.
 
Prediction: 5-2 to Arsenal
 
Recommended Betting Tips: Arsenal to beat Brighton at 1.91, Over 4.5 goals at 5.00, Kai Havertz to score 2+ goals at 16.00, A sending off in the game at 5.00
 
 
 
Fulham vs Ipswich Preview:
 
Fulham are unbeaten in their last five but they haven't been able to make any in roads because of the amount of draws they have chalked up. However Marco Silva's side remains a solid outfit and will be confident of getting the maximum points here. Ipswich have won 2 of their last 4 games and even though they are in the bottom three they could escape with a victory on Sunday. Ipswich recorded their best result of the season so far last time out when they beat and shocked Chelsea winning 2-0.
 
Prediction: 2-1 to Fulham
 
Recommended Betting Tips: Fulham to beat Ipswich at 1.57, Anytime goalscorer: Raul Jimenez at 2.25, Anytime goalscorer: Rodrigo Muniz at 2.75
 
 
 
Liverpool vs Manchester Utd Preview:
 
Liverpool has the chance to go 8 points clear of 2nd placed Arsenal and they also have a game in hand. This is a huge game for the home side and they will be odds on favourites to win. The Reds have only lost once so far and have easily been the best team in the league. The woes have continued for Manchester United who looked like a better team with former manager Erik ten Hag. Ruben Amorim has not been able to weave his magic yet. United are in 14th place and have lost their last 3 games in a row. There will be a fantastic atmosphere at Anfield but we suspect that this version of Manchester United could really suffer. 
 
Prediction: 3-1 to Liverpool
 
Recommended Betting Tips: Half Time/Full Time: Liverpool/Liverpool at 1.91, First goalscorer: Mohamed Salah at 4.00, Anytime goalscorer: Cody Gakpo at 2.50
 
 
 
Wolves vs Nottm Forest Preview:
 
Wolves are down in 17th place and only goal difference means that they are not in the bottom three. The good news though is that the club are in good form and are unbeaten in their last three games earning seven points. Wolves latest game ended in a respectable 2-2 draw away to Tottenham in a match where they were heading for defeat. Whatever happens in this encounter Nottingham Forest will remain in 3rd place but victory would see them join 2nd placed Arsenal on 40 points. Forest have won their last 5 games in a row and jointly has the best form in the Premier League alongside Newcastle. Forest have also won their last three away games in a row. 
 
Prediction: 2-1 to Nottm Forest
 
Recommended Betting Tips: Draw no bet (Nottingham Forest) at 1.61, Anytime goalscorer: Chris Wood at 3.00, Correct Score: 2-1 to Nottingham Forest at 10.00
