Home of football statistics and historyThe Premier League games keep coming thick and fast, following another packed midweek schedule.
Chelsea’s Sunday home match against Leicester City has been postponed due to the Blues’ upcoming Carabao Cup grand final showdown against Arsenal.
But there will still be plenty of cracking fixtures to look forward to this weekend and you can also check out the best online casino games available that you can play this week while you wait for this weekend’s football action.
Southampton vs Norwich City
St Mary’s Stadium plays host to the Premier League Matchday 27 curtain-raiser as resurgent Southampton entertain relegation-battling Norwich City.
Inspired by a run of four league games without defeat (W2, D2), the Saints will be looking to inflict revenge on Dean Smith’s side following a 2-1 loss in the reverse fixture back in November.
Prediction: Southampton to win
Leeds United vs Tottenham Hotspur
Saturday’s Premier League action gets underway with a handsomely-looking encounter between relegation-threatened Leeds United and underperforming Tottenham Hotspur.
With the sirens sounding as the Whites are now sucked into a dreaded relegation battle, the second consecutive league win over Spurs at Elland Road in a row would come in handy.
Prediction: Over 2.5 goals
Brentford vs Newcastle United
Newcastle United head to the Brentford Community Stadium for their first-ever Premier League meeting with the newcomers Brentford in London amid a purple patch.
After stringing together five top-flight matches without losing (W3, D2), the Magpies are on the cusp of marking their longest unbeaten streak in England’s top division since 2011.
Prediction: Both teams to score
Brighton & Hove Albion vs Aston Villa
Brighton & Hove Albion will be desperate to bounce back from a crushing 3-0 home defeat to relegation strugglers Burnley last time out when they meet Aston Villa in a mid-table Premier League showdown.
However, while the Seagulls enjoy their life in mid-table comforts, a potential defeat at the Amex Stadium could suddenly propel Villa into an unwanted drop fight.
Prediction: Draw
Crystal Palace vs Burnley
Having thrashed Watford 4-1 in midweek, Crystal Palace manager Patrick Vieira will be seeking back-to-back Premier League wins for the second time this season.
Standing in the Frenchman’s way will be a high-flying Burnley side, who take this trip to Selhurst Park on the back of consecutive league triumphs, including a shock 1-0 win over Tottenham in midweek.
Prediction: Under 2.5 goals
Manchester United vs Watford
Manchester United and Watford are set to square off at Old Trafford in a revenge-poised Premier League fixture, with the Red Devils looking to avenge Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s sacking.
An embarrassing 4-1 thumping at Vicarage Road in November spelt the end for the Norwegian’s topsy-turvy managerial tenure, paving the way for Ralf Rangnick to architect a renaissance at the Theatre of Dreams.
Prediction: Manchester United to win
Everton vs Manchester City
An exciting match-up between out-of-sorts Everton and league-toppers Manchester City at Goodison Park will serve to round off Saturday’s action in England’s top-flight.
New boss Frank Lampard can ill-afford another slip-up if he is to keep his Toffees side floating above the danger zone, while the Cityzens hope to respond to last weekend’s home reverse to Spurs. One of the harder Premier League predictions to make this week, so we are going to look at the goals scored instead.
Prediction: Over 2.5 goals
West Ham United vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
West Ham United’s elusive pursuit of their first-ever Premier League top-four finish continues on Sunday as they welcome fellow European bidders Wolverhampton Wanderers to the London Stadium.
A run of two successive league draws has seen David Moyes’ team fall four points adrift of fourth-placed Man United as Declan Rice and co look to be running out of steam.
Prediction: Both teams to score
