💎 MAN CITY VS TOTTENHAM ⚪ (OUTSTANDING MATCH)
Tottenham have been up and down, and their inconsistency has been alarming. If you ask me what’s wrong with them, I can’t say a thing. Do they have a good manager? Yes. Did they sign players in the transfer window? Yes, a lot. But what happened to them? I really know. Man City will be going into this one coming off from back-to-back defeats. They will be playing at home and are expected to enjoy the fan factor and home advantage. I expect them to get something out of this game.

🔴 LIVERPOOL VS CHELSEA 🔵
I watched Liverpool against Wolves on Tuesday night in the FA Cup and I couldn’t believe what I saw them playing. That’s not the Liverpool I used to know. They were vulnerable in every department and especially when they were being attacked – it was always looking like Wolves were going to get the equalizer but Wolves couldn’t manage a good final third to put just one goal into the back of the net. Chelsea, on the other hand, are not different from the Red. They are also poor at the moment and it has been difficult for pundits to make a case for them. The question now is who is worse between the Blues and the Reds? But this is Anfield and a sort of rival match, so I expect some levels of discipline which could make this clash a promising one.

🍒 BOURNEMOUTH VS NOTT. FOREST 🎄
Bournemouth have not scored in their last four games and have lost all. I don’t know how you are going to win games if you can’t score. The good news is that they are playing against a newly promoted side like them so they will probably have a better idea of how to approach this game and hopefully end their goal drought here. One thing I’ve learned in the Premier League this season is that, in most cases, whenever two promoted sides meet, they are liable to score against each other and probably score many goals. Nott. Forest, on the other hand, are quite different from the Cherries at the moment having picked up some points with great performance. They needed more than one goal to beat Leicester last time out and they did it. I think they can do it here too.

🦊 LEICESTER VS BRIGHTON 🐦
Brighton are soaring high and freely like a bird. I was impressed with their performance against Liverpool last time out; a well-deserved victory. They are about to be raided now – they have sold Leandro Trossard to Arsenal while other clubs are interested in Mitoma, Caicedo, Mac Allister, and maybe more. I just hope they will be able to do well to keep and manage the situations well. I was surprised how Leicester got beaten by Nott. Forest last time out. I asked myself how come the Foxes are this worse. I won’t be surprised if Leicester sack Brendan Rodgers but if they do, who are they going to hire? I would advise them to keep him till the end of the season. To be honest, I am not expecting them to get something out of this game but I still won’t rule them out completely.

⛔ SOUTHAMPTON VS ASTON VILLA 🦁
Southampton have now won two consecutive games against Man City in the Carabao Cup, and against Everton last time out in the league, and it is looking like they have gained some momentum. I am still not convinced, especially as they face Aston Villa here. I won’t just rule them out completely against the Lions; that is the best case I can build for them. Aston Villa have been playing well under Unai Emery and I think they will continue to build on it here.

🛠 WEST HAM VS EVERTON 🔵
West Ham have been on a bad run since after the World Cup. They have lost four games and a draw against Leeds Utd in Game Week 19 at Elland Road. They have been having difficulty in creating chances and scoring many goals to win games meanwhile they are not very good defensively. I think they will have a tough game here because the Toffees play traditional football like a kick-and-start generator. Everton do not create many chances and score many goals too. They just charge forward like warriors on the battlefield and strike. The Hammers should always be ready to stop them from shooting here. This has to be a low-scoring affair.
PREDICTION: Under 3.5
TIP: WHU 1-1 EVE
RESULT: WHU 2-0 EVE
🦅 CRYSTAL PALACE VS NEWCASTLE ⚫
Crystal Palace have lost their last two games and will be determined to respond but I don’t think it will go as they intend here because the Magpies are having a strong agenda and a greater reason to avoid dropping points. Even though Newcastle look like they are struggling in recent times in terms of scoring goals, they keep grinding out the results. I think it should be a little bit easier for them here because the quality difference between these two sides will come into play. So I say Good luck to Crystal Palace, their run of fixtures has not just been convenient for the past 2-3 weeks.

⚪ LEEDS UTD VS BRENTFORD 🐝
Leeds Utd cannot stop conceding goals and this has been punishing them as they keep dropping points. Their defense is porous and they don’t score many goals. I don’t even know how they are going to score against a compact side like Brentford. I believe Jesse Marsch would have been looking into this problem and it would be nice to see them take away the clean sheet from the Bees – it is a sign of improvement to me. Since after the World Cup, Brentford have been unbeaten having won three and drawn one. They have been impressive in terms of performance and results. They are just too good for the level we are sorting them at the moment and I think they will continue to maintain the momentum here.

💎 MAN CITY VS WOLVES 🐺
Wolves are looking like a better team under Julen Lopetegui but they’ve got a poor final third. They can create many chances but they are not clinical in front of goal. I watched them against Liverpool last time out in the FA Cup clash and against West Ham in their last league game. Against Man City, you have to take every chance you create because you hardly have the ball and you stand a chance to get exhausted early because they are going to toss you up and down the pitch. Irrespective of the outcome against Tottenham, I expect Man City to win this game because they are playing at home and to make up for their consecutive losses.

🔴 ARSENAL VS MAN UTD 👹
This is a clash of the titans between the two most in-form teams in the league right now. Man Utd are running grounds and getting results like a snake running around in the bush and preying on animals while Arsenal keep soaring high like a pigeon filled with inner peace. I guess it is time for Arsenal to turn to an eagle and locate its prey from the air – just dive down and claw your prey because they were well beaten by Man United in the reverse fixture, or you miss. Man Utd will likely take the Gunners off the counterattack as they have always been doing but it will be difficult to succeed. Neither of these teams will have it easy, so it is difficult to pick a side. I will rather bank on goals and enjoy the joyous moments like a neutral.
PREDICTION: Over 1.5

⚪ FULHAM VS TOTTENHAM ⚪
This is the battle of the Whites at Craven Cottage. Tottenham will have to do a lot more than they did against Arsenal last time out to get something out of this game because Fulham are now flying high and full of confidence. Even though the Cottagers lost against Newcastle last time out, it won’t reduce their level of confidence because the Magpies are a better team now – a team no one in the Premier League can undermine or overlook. So they will be eager to get back to winning ways and will get into the face of the Spurs. A draw will be a fair result for both sides but I think Fulham will do more to get a win.
PREDICTION: Over 1.5
TIP: FUL 1-1 TOT
RESULT: FUL 0-1 TOT
