Arsenal faces their biggest test of 2023 when Newcastle United visits the Emirates for this game as Eddie Howe’s side shows a remarkable run of form. They could beat the Gunners here to make themselves title challengers. Mikel Arteta’s men now have seven points more than any other EPL side on the league table, but Newcastle is third and wants to play in the Champions League. The Gunners earned a superb 4-2 win at Brighton the last time, while Leeds United held Newcastle to a goalless draw to give Arsenal some breathing space. Prior to that draw, the Magpies had been superb and won their previous five Premier League games to set up one of their best performances in decades. Arsenal has beaten some top teams like Tottenham, Liverpool and Chelsea, but they must be at their best to see off the impressive Newcastle and it will be a game that tests them very well. The best bet prediction for this game is BTTS. For similar predictions, click here.

Manchester United has turned their home into a fortress this season, and fans will be keen to see them win against the out-of-form Bournemouth in this fixture. Erik Ten Hag’s side is in an interesting race for two spots inside the top four, as it seems Manchester City and Arsenal have occupied the first two. They have done well so far, and their home form means they are likely to earn yet another win from this fixture when both clubs win. Bournemouth has been terrible since the return of football and has lost their three matches so far, which does not inspire confidence in them ahead of this match. They also have a terrible record against United, especially when they play at Old Trafford. They have also lost to Leeds, Manchester City and Liverpool this season, conceding an astonishing 17 goals, so this game is likely to end in another poor defeat. The best bet prediction for this game is Over 2.5 goals. For similar predictions, click here.

Forest must save themselves with superb performances in this second half of the season after their chaotic first half. The Forests gained promotion to the Premier League this season after around 20 seasons away, and they signed so many players to add to their squad and make it stronger. This has been a tough term for them, and this second half must see the best of them, or they will certainly be relegated from the competition at the end of the season. The host lost their first league game back to Manchester United, but they had beaten Blackburn away in the Carabao Cup, which shows they can win matches. Chelsea will be tough, but we expect a good game from the host in the fixture as well. The Blues struggled with inconsistency in the first half of the season, but dispatched Bournemouth 2-0 on their first game back last time around. They will want another win here to show they have what it takes to win matches consistently in the Premier League. The best bet prediction for this game is BTTS. For similar predictions, click here.

Liverpool restarted their season with a 3-1 success at Aston Villa and will want to build on that when they face Leicester City in this game. The arrival of Cody Gakpo has boosted Jurgen Klopp’s side after losing Luis Diaz to another injury, and they will now push for the last two spots left in the top four. Leicester City has been dismal and suffered a 3-0 loss against Newcastle United on the return football, which makes this game a must-win if Brendan Rodgers wants to keep his job. The Foxes were doing well before the break and will be disappointed that they have lost this fixture, making it a must for them to beat Liverpool, but that will be easier said than done. Leicester has beaten Liverpool twice in the last three competitive meetings between both clubs, but Liverpool has not lost any of their last five home games against the Foxes, winning four. The Reds have also been solid at home this season and have beaten the likes of Manchester City and Napoli, so this will be a tough fixture for Leicester. The best bet prediction for this game is a home win and over 1.5 goals. For similar predictions, click here.

Manchester City is now eight points behind Arsenal at the top of the Premier League table and will be desperate to get all the points in this game to close the gap between them and the top spot. Leeds did well before the break, but they are still in the relegation battle and cannot begin with a loss if they are serious about ending this season very well. The World Cup break afforded both clubs more than enough chance to rest and prepare for the restart and we expect them to give us a good game in this fixture. City will know they simply cannot underestimate what Leeds can do, and their 3-2 home win against Liverpool in the Carabao Cup will help their confidence ahead of this fixture. Erling Haaland scored in that win against Liverpool and he is now one player who teams struggle to stop having already scored 18 Premier League goals this season. Leeds know he is a handful and it will be interesting to see if they can stop him from scoring against them in this game. The best bet prediction for this game is Haaland anytime scorer.

Manchester United will be keen to restart the Premier League with a win when they take on Nottingham Forest in this game and it promises to be an exciting fixture to watch. The first half of the season was tough for Forest, who have just gained promotion back to the league, but they stuck with Steve Cooper and even handed him a new deal to show their faith. He had worked magic in the second division but signed too many players in the summer, which made it hard for his team to do well before the World Cup break. However, they returned with a bang when they defeated Blackburn 4-1 in the Carabao Cup, which should give the confidence ahead of this visit to United for a crucial EPL game. United endured an inconsistent first half to the season, but now that Cristiano Ronaldo is gone, the club will look to move on quickly and show he was not so important to them. The Red Devils defeated Burnley in the Carabao Cup, but the visitors gave them a good game and the result could be different if they allow Forest too much freedom in this game.

Chelsea was dismal before the World Cup break, and their fans will be keen to see their club return to form in this second half of the season. The Blues struggled under Thomas Tuchel, and the German lost his job, but things did not change when Graham Potter was named their manager as his replacement. Instead, it seemed to get worse. The Englishman is managing his first big club and needs time to understand what it means to be the boss at the highest level, which means he was probably the happiest manager during the WC break. He would have used that time to know his players better and also get them prepared for the return of league football in a pre-season style, having not had one with them before now. Bournemouth has done very well in recent weeks, and they will be tricky opponents for the Blues to face, which could make life hard for them, even though this game is played at home. Chelsea has lost all their last four games in all competitions, while Bournemouth has lost only one and won two of their last three. The best bet prediction for this game is BTTS.

Unai Emery has had a long break to work on his Aston Villa team, and he will now want to beat Liverpool as proof he is prepared to correct the mistakes he made at Arsenal as a manager. The Spaniard’s spell in London was unsuccessful, and he wasn’t given enough time to get the Gunners back inside the top four, but he proved at Villarreal afterwards that he is a good manager able to make a difference even at a small club. Liverpool was inconsistent in the first half of the season as injury rocked their squad and made it hard for them to field their preferred team in matches. This second half of the season would be an important one for them as well as the Reds look to get back to form and win as many matches as possible. Beating Villa will only be the start, but it will boost their confidence ahead of more important matches, but a win at Villa Park against an Emery team will go a long way to show they are prepared to do better in this second half.
