🐝 BRENTFORD VS BRIGHTON 🔵

Brentford were battered by Newcastle last time out and they only converted one goal from the spot. Hence, their goal-scoring problem continues. I don’t know how you will win games if you can’t score. Also, their defense is prone to error and they keep conceding many goals. Brighton, on the other hand, lost 0-1 to Tottenham last time out. They played beautiful football, and wanted to score a fine goal, but were quite unlucky. They forgot that a goal is a goal even if it is an ugly one. They pegged the Spurs but were kept out and suffered a defeat. I think they will get something out of this game.

🦊 LEICESTER VS CRYSTAL PALACE 🦅

I was disappointed to see the way Leicester lost to Bournemouth last time out after they took the lead very early in the game. They find it difficult to put themselves together and remain composed when they are under pressure. I’m sure they will be under more pressure against Crystal Palace than the one they experienced against the Cherries. Crystal Palace got a good win against Leeds Utd even though it was a close scoreline. They played well and got the job done. Everybody knows the Foxes are not consistent so the Eagles will be confident going into this game and I think they will build on their last win here.

RESULT: LEI 0-0 CRY

⚪ FULHAM VS BOURNEMOUTH 🍒

Fulham have hit a rough patch since Mitrovic got injured. The goals have been hard to come by and they’ve lost two consecutive games. Bournemouth got a massive win last time out against Leicester and they have turned a new life since the departure of Scott Parker. Philip Billing has been running the show for the Cherries on a low, Dominic Solanke is also playing well – showing his versatility (with some other players) looking like they are the heart of the team. Their level of confidence will be high because they are unbeaten in some games now and will be hoping to extend it in this one but I think Fulham can keep them out.

🐺 WOLVES VS NOTT. FOREST 🎄

Wolves are on a poor run having their last three games without scoring a goal. Hopefully, they will get to score here as they face a bottom team. Nott. Forest got a 1-1 draw against Aston Villa last time out at home and I think they will want to build on it. Both teams are having difficulty scoring goals which is why they are where they are on the league table at the moment. For this reason, I think this is going to be a low-scoring affair and if I’m to back a side compulsorily, I will be backing Wolves.

PREDICTION: Under 3.5

TIP: WOL 1-0 NFO

RESULT: WOL 1-0 NFO

⚪ TOTTENHAM VS EVERTON 🔵

Tottenham managed to keep Brighton out successfully and got a 0-1 victory last time out. Antonio Conte’s setup is rigid and doesn’t score many goals but they will need at least two goals to secure a victory here. Everton lost to Man Utd last time out. It was a close scoreline and I have a feeling that it will be a similar outcome here again because Spurs have more quality than the Toffees unless they surprise me, or us perhaps. I am not expecting Everton to win but I’m expecting them to give the Spurs a good game and a run for their money.

🦁 ASTON VILLA VS CHELSEA 🔵

Aston Villa are not in good form at the moment and we could see the way they were held down by Nott. Forest last time out because they wobbled. It is hard for me to make a case for them because I can’t identify what is wrong with Steven Gerrard and his players. Chelsea are now getting used to Graham Potter’s style of play and are getting results. Their confidence level would have been raised above the bar going into this game with the wins against Crystal Palace in the league last weekend and AC Milan in the midweek. The Blues are having injury concerns but I believe they will get something out of this game.

RESULT: ASV 0-2 CHE

⚪ LEEDS UTD VS ARSENAL 🔴

Leeds Utd lost to Crystal Palace last time out and I think they are about to lose another game in a row to a team that has a greater course to play and win here. Although I expect them to play well here and with the return of Moreno and Bamford, I also expect them to get a goal at least. Arsenal will be aiming to retain the top position on the league table which is a good reason for them to win at all costs. They will be having Gabriel Jesus back fresh after he was rested in the midweek against Bodo Glimt so I expect them to win this game convincingly.

👹 MAN UTD VS NEWCASTLE ⚫

This is going to be a real test for both sides and we would get to see what they are made of. Newcastle have scored 10 goals in their last two games and it seems like they’ve got goals in them at the moment. They will be going into this game with full confidence and I believe that they will score goals here. I would like to see how Man Utd will respond when the Magpies get into their face and cause them trouble. They won their last game against Everton and I think they would want to build on it here. It is hard for me to pick a side which is why I will be sitting on the fence and enjoy every moment we have a cause to shout.

PREDICTION: Over 1.5

TIP: MNU 2-1 NEW

RESULT: MNU 0-0 NEW

⛔ SOUTHAMPTON VS WEST HAM 🛠

Southampton are on a poor run having lost their last 3 games. Things are not working out for them at the moment and they are lacking creativity in the team. They don’t create many chances and they do not convert the couple ones they manage to create if they get one. West Ham, on the other hand, are beginning to patch things up and are getting results. Scamacca and Bowen are now beginning to link up perfectly with Paquetá when they play together which is a good development. They have won their last two games convincingly and I think they will try to make it 3 wins in a row here.

RESULT: SOU 1-1 WHU

🔴 LIVERPOOL VS MAN CITY 💎

Liverpool have not been good this season. Trent Alexander-Arnold got injured in their last league game defeat against Arsenal, Jürgen Klopp subbed on Joe Gomez to replace him and we saw how Gomez put the right back on the lock. They went on to the UCL in the midweek with the same back line and tore Rangers apart in a 7-1 victory. I think this should be a warning to Man City. They will be playing at Anfield which has always been a strong ground for them against the Cityzens but I don’t think they can perfectly shut down their crisis. Man City, on the other hand, are in red-hot form scoring at least four goals in their last three league games. Going to Anfield has always been like breathing different air but I think they will get something from there this time around.
