👒 LUTON TOWN VS TOTTENHAM ⚪ (12:30 WAT)
Luton Town finally got their first league win last weekend against Everton but lost to Burnley in the midweek. They couldn’t build on it and I can’t see them turning it around here due to the difference in quality between the Hatters and the Spurs. Tottenham are still unbeaten so they have a great course to play for. They’ve got the confidence now obviously, the mentality is high up and the rhythm is clearly there. I see nothing but a victory for Tottenham here.
PREDICTION: 2
TIP: LUT 0-3 TOT
RESULT: LUT 0-1 TOT
📛 BURNLEY VS CHELSEA 🔵 (15:00 WAT)
Burnley lost to Newcastle last weekend but got a win in the midweek against Luton Town away from home but can they build on it? I don’t think so. If only the Clarets do cross the ball, they would have picked up some more vital points but they don’t cross the ball. I wonder what sort of football philosophy is that, induced by their manager, Vincent Kompany. For that reason, it is difficult to make a case for them against the Blues here. Chelsea, on the other hand, finally found the back of the net and secured a 0-2 victory at Craven Cottage last time out. Now, they need to be consistent with goal-scoring so that they can be getting the desired results and I think they will build on their last victory here.
PREDICTION: 2X
TIP: BUR 0-1 CHE
RESULT: BUR 1-4 CHE
🔵 EVERTON VS BOURNEMOUTH 🍒 (15:00 WAT)
This is a game between two of the most inconsistent teams in the Premier League. They are both prone to conceding goals but I don’t think Bournemouth are as poor as Everton. They both create chances but they don’t convert them. Their issues are complicated and it is difficult to make a case for either of them, hence, making it difficult to predict this fixture. I think this is going to be a low-scoring affair because Bournemouth will take caution after conceding 4 goals against Arsenal last time out while a typical Sean Dyche team does not concede many goals too.
PREDICTION: Under 3.5
TIP: EVE 1-0 BOU
RESULT: EVE 3-0 BOU

⚪ FULHAM VS SHEFFIELD UTD ⚔️ (15:00 WAT)
These two teams are struggling to score goals and they haven’t scored in their last two games. It is easy to say that there won’t be many goals here but I am confident Fulham will get something out of this game since they are at home. I think Fulham will steal the win and it is going to be very close.
PREDICTION: 1X
TIP: FUL 1-0 SHU
RESULT: FUL 3-1 SHU
👹 MAN UTD VS BRENTFORD 🐝 (15:00 WAT)
I don’t know what went wrong with Brentford but it is what it is at the moment. They are struggling, everything is not ticking for them as if they have run out of resources. I think they should be looking out for a prolific striker in order to get goals and they should tighten up their defense to avoid leaking goals. Man Utd, on the other hand, are also struggling – they currently do not have an identity and everything seems to be falling apart for Erik ten Hag. Their injury crisis has not helped at all and Rashford has been selfish in recent times. It is clear that Højlund has got goals in him, all they need to do is to supply him the balls. I think they will get something out of this game if only they can be disciplined at the back.
PREDICTION: 1X
TIP: MUN 2-1 BRE
RESULT: MUN 2-1 BRE
🦅 CRYSTAL PALACE VS NOTT. FOREST 🎄 (17:30 WAT)
Crystal Palace had a good win at Old Trafford against Man Utd last time out. They were fearless, resilient, and gave a good fight so I am confident they will deliver a good performance here because they usually give their opponents a good game at Selhurst Park. Nott. Forest, on the other hand, are becoming a force to reckon with and I am expecting them to also fight hard here. I think they could see that they are capable of getting something out of this game, so they will get in the face of the Eagles.
PREDICTION: 1X
TIP: CRY 2-1 NFO
RESULT: CRY 0-0 NFO

🐦 BRIGHTON VS LIVERPOOL 🔴 (14:00 WAT)
This has to be a high-scoring affair and an end-to-end game. When Brighton are in gear, they are in for all or nothing which means they could concede goals as much as they can score – we just saw them shipped in 6 goals against Aston Villa last time out. So a good counter-attacking team can beat the Seagulls to stupor and Liverpool are a perfect example of such a team. 6 of 7 Liverpool’s league games have ended with, at least, 3 goals which makes me feel like there will be goals in this fixture. The Reds have got to roll on without Curtis Jones and Diogo Jota who were suspended last time out against Tottenham in a controversial defeat and I will be expecting Watari Endo or Ryan Gravenberch to replace Curtis Jones while Cody Gakpo or Darwin Núñez for Diogo Jota. I think Liverpool will come out on top at the end of this clash.
PREDICTION: Over 2.5
TIP: BHA 1-3 LIV
RESULT: BHA 2-2 LIV
⚒️ WEST HAM VS NEWCASTLE ⚫ (14:00 WAT)
After Newcastle’s first Champions League game, I said the intensity of their game would increase and it did. One more thing that changed in the Magpies is the mentality with the way they roasted PSG like a chicken in a 4-1 victory in the midweek at the Saint James’ Park. They’ve got a team to rotate as well, I do not worry about them, so I believe they will do well here. West Ham, on the other hand, also played in the midweek in the Europa League but have they got a team to rotate like the Magpies? They are at home though and this fixture could be down to “who wants it more”. It will be difficult to pick a side because Newcastle are a good team yet you cannot overlook West Ham. The Hammers do not have all eyes on them but they are a dangerous team. I think there will be goals here.
PREDICTION: Over 1.5
TIP: WHU 1-2 NEW
RESULT: WHU 2-2 NEW
🐺 WOLVES VS ASTON VILLA 🦁 (14:00 WAT)
This is the West Midlands derby and I am expecting it to be a fierce one because of the kinds of ginger that will be initiated by the fans, so both teams will not want to let their fans down. Wolves got an emphatic win against Man City last time out at Molineux and on the same soil, with the presence of their home fans, they will play the derby here and I believe the victory they got against the Cityzens will boost their confidence significantly. Aston Villa, on the other hand, got a massive win against Brighton last time out by scoring 6 goals. It will surely boost their confidence going into this derby so I am expecting an entertaining game and I think Aston Villa have got the quality to get the job done but it won’t be easy at all because the last time it happened here at Molineux, Wolves nicked the win by a goal to nil.
PREDICTION: 2X
TIP: WOL 1-2 ASV
RESULT: WOL 1-1 ASV

🔴 ARSENAL VS MAN CITY 💎 (16:30 WAT)
This has got to be a cracker because it’s been a long time since Arsenal had a victory against Man City. The Gunners will be looking at the moment as an opportunity to flip it because Man City have got injury concerns and Rodri is out on suspension. Bukayo Saka got a knock in the midweek in their Champions League game against RC Lens but hopefully he will be fit to play in this game. Man City have lost back to back games in the cup competition against Newcastle and in the league against Wolves. They won’t want to lose back to back games in the Premier League and the good news for Man City is that Bernardo Silva and John Stones have returned from injury and are available for this fixture. So I think it is toe-to-toe in terms of quality and moreover, Arsenal have got a great course to play for which is keeping their unbeaten run. This is why it will be difficult to pick a side and I think a draw will be a fair result for them if the Gunners can’t win.
PREDICTION: Over 1.5
TIP: ARS 1-1 MCI
RESULT: ARS 1-0 MCI
