Arsenal vs Crystal Palace: Preview and Expert Football Prediction

Arsenal will continue their quest for their first Premier League title in almost 20 years when they welcome Crystal Palace to Emirates this Sunday. The hosts kept their place at the top of the table with an impressive 3-0 win over Fulham in their last PL outing. The win made it five consecutive league wins for the Gunners, with 3+ goals scored in four games. However, Mikel Arteta’s side suffered a shocking loss to Sporting Lisbon on Thursday in the Europa League. After a 1-1 draw in regular and extra time, the Portuguese side beat Arteta’s side on penalties to confirm their exit in the only other Cup competition they are still playing this season.

They currently sit five points ahead of their closest challengers Manchester City. And with Pep Guardiola’s side not in league action this weekend, they will now be looking to further open the gap by notching up a sixth successive top-flight win in a single season. Managerless Palace travel to the Emirates looking to become the second Premier League team to win against the Gunners at home, where Arteta’s side have suffered just one defeat in their last 16 home league outings (W13, D2). The Eagles sacked their manager Patrick Vieira after a sorry run of form that saw them go winless in eleven competitive games (D5, L6), the longest winless run of any club in the top flight this season. That run of form has pushed Palace down the table and into the relegation battle. They entered this round of games sitting just three points ahead of the bottom three. With the bottom clubs picking up points more regularly, the visitors know that unless they improve, they will find themselves fully in the bottom three soon. They will be desperate to avoid getting sucked in completely before the international break. Click here to get today’s soccer predictions.

Chelsea vs Everton: Preview and Expert Football Prediction

Chelsea will look to make it four consecutive wins when they welcome struggling Everton to Stamford Bridge this Saturday. The Blues have put together a sting run of results to rekindle their top four hopes and buy under-fire manager Graham Potter more time. The Chelsea manager was in danger of getting sacked last month after overseeing a run of just one win in eleven competitive games (D4, L6).  But three straight wins in all competitions have restored the right mood at Stamford Bridge and the fans’ confidence. Additionally, their tally of five goals from their last two games hints that they may have finally overcome the attacking woes that have plagued them earlier. Read more: Udinese vs AC Milan: Preview and Expert Football Prediction Their target will be to build on that brilliant run against a struggling Everton side who haven’t won in the league at  Stamford Bridge since 1994–an incredible 27 Premier League games (W15, D12). However, given how tough they seem to be under Sean Dyche, the Toffees will fancy their chances of getting a result. The visitors have become less vulnerable under the former Burnley coach and recorded three wins under his watch. They defeated top six hopefuls Brentford 1-0 last time, meaning that since Dyche’s arrival, only five PL teams have picked up more points than them (ten – W3, D1, L3). But the fact that none of those wins came on the road will be a cause for concern. Also, Everton have earned fewer points on the road (18) than any of the 17 PL sides to feature across both seasons.

Southampton vs Tottenham: Preview and Expert Football Prediction

Tottenham will take their fight for a top-four finish to Saint Mary’s Stadium this Saturday, where they will face a struggling Southampton side. The Saints remain rooted at the bottom of the Premier League table but are fighting hard to ensure they escape the drop. Despite scoring just two goals, they have scrapped hard to collect seven points from their five Premier League fixtures under interim manager Rubén Sellés. Read more: Borussia Dortmund vs FC Koln: Preview and Expert Football Prediction But their increasingly desperate bid to get off the bottom of the table will face some stern tests in the next month when they host top-four clubs Tottenham and Manchester City. However, some positive upsets, such as their 1-0 triumph at Chelsea on Sellés’ PL debut, could be key to saving the team from relegation. But delving deeper into their miserable campaign suggests it’s not likely to happen consistently. In fact, against the nine clubs ranked above Chelsea going into this round, Southampton lamented a winless D2, L9 PL record, conceding 3+ goals on six occasions, including a 4-1 loss away to Tottenham in the opening round. Meanwhile, Tottenham strengthened their grip on fourth position with a 3-1 win over Nottingham Forest last time out. The win was their fourth consecutive win at home in the Premier League. However, embarrassing losses to both Wolves (1-0) and Leicester City (4-1) in their last two PL trips has shown that when travelling to clubs with survival as their sole focus, they have the potential to be overwhelmed.  But given that they have won four of their last six meetings with Southampton, they will fancy their chances of ending their four consecutive losses away from home here. Meanwhile, two of the last 30 PL matches involving either club ended in a draw. So we can expect a direct win in this game. Click here to get direct win predictions.

Nottingham Forest vs Newcastle United: Preview and Expert Football Prediction

Top four hopefuls Newcastle United will travel to City Ground this Friday to face Nottingham Forest in their 28th Round game of the 2022/23 Premier League season. Forest are fighting for their lives in the Premier League, with their goal for the season still to secure a place in the top flight. Having moved away from the bottom three of the Premier League table with a series of positive results just before and after the World Cup break, Forest’s early season problems have resurfaced. Steve Cooper’s side come into this fixture without a win in five games (D2, L3). Their most recent outing was a 3-1 loss to Tottenham, meaning that they are now just two points above the relegation zone as they fight to avoid an immediate return to the Championship.  Read more: Arsenal vs Sporting Lisbon: Preview and Expert Football Prediction But the Tricky Trees have a decent record at home with the bulk of their poor form coming on the road. They are currently on an impressive nine-game unbeaten run at the City Ground (W4, D5), helping them to collect 20 of their 26 points this season on home soil. Eddie Howe’s Newcastle will look to make it two league wins in a row for the first time since November when they travel to City Ground on Friday. The Magpies ended a run of five games without a win across all competitions (D2, L3) when they secured a late 2-1 win over Wolves last time out. That result rekindled their hopes of qualifying for a UEFA competition for the first time since 2006/07, as they are now just four points behind fourth-placed Spurs.  Ahead of their visit to London, they will be confident of a positive result, given that they are unbeaten against Forest in the top flight since 1988 (W6, D4). However, they need to find their goal-scoring touch in order to record a positive result here and finish in a Champions League place, as they have netted just once in their last four PL away fixtures (D3, L1).

Fulham vs Arsenal: Preview and Expert Football Prediction

Arsenal will make a short trip across West London to Craven Cottage this Sunday, where they will face European hopefuls Fulham. The hosts, alongside Brentford and Brighton, want to break the top-six monopoly this season. However, their chances of doing so was dealt a huge blow last weekend when they suffered a 3-2 loss to Thomas Frank’s Brentford side. The result ended a run of seven games without defeat for Marco Silva’s side (W5, D2), who now enter this game sitting in seventh place, one point behind their top six rivals, having played two games more. Read more: Manchester United vs Southampton: Preview and Expert Football Prediction They will return home to Craven Cottage, looking to get back to winning ways and rekindle their quest for a first European appearance since 2011/12. Returning home could provide a much-needed boost for the Cottagers, who have lost just three of their 13 PL games here this term (W6, D4). That record could give Fulham false hope for this clash, though, as they’re winless at Craven Cottage against sides starting the round above them (D1, L3).  Arsenal will fancy their chances here, given they are unbeaten in their last nine head-to-head games at any venue against Fulham. The Gunners have seven wins in their last nine meetings with Fulham and won the reverse fixture 2-1. They kept their hopes for their first title since 2003 with a miraculous comeback win over Bournemouth last time (3-2). They followed up that win with a 2-2 away draw with Sporting Lisbon in the Europa League last Thursday, taking their unbeaten run in all competitions to five games. Any fear of fatigue after this game should be quashed as they’ve amassed a six-game unbeaten PL run in games directly following each of their last six Europa League matches (W5, D1). It should be noted that two of those PL wins came in London derbies and without reply, a statistic which bodes well for Arsenal as they look to improve on their impressive 71% win-rate against Fulham in PL action (W22, D6, L3).Click here to get the correct score prediction for football games.

Manchester United vs Southampton: Preview and Expert Football Prediction

After their incredible outing in the Europa League, Manchester United will return to Premier League action this Sunday when they welcome struggling Southampton to Old Trafford.  The Red Devils’ put one leg in the next Round of the Europa League thanks to a 4-1 win over Real Betis on Thursday. The win and performance contrasted their 7-0 loss to Liverpool in the Premier League last weekend. The Old Trafford side were embarrassed by Jurgen Klopp’s side at Anfield on Sunday, with that loss ending a run of eleven consecutive games without defeat. They now sit 14 points behind league leaders Arsenal, so their chances of winning the title look very slim now.  Read more: AS Roma vs Sassuolo: Preview and Expert Football Prediction Yet, having scored four times in midweek, the mood at Old Trafford will be good, especially as they are unbeaten in 20 consecutive matches at Old Trafford (W18, D2). But if a team can be hopeful of getting a result at Old Trafford, it has to be Southampton, who have recorded just four defeats from their last nine visits to Old Trafford (W2, D3).  The Saints kept their survival hopes alive with a 1-0 win over Leicester City last time. The win took them off the foot of the PL table, even though they remain level on points with bottom-placed Bournemouth.  With 12 of their 21 points this season coming on the road, the visitors will sense a chance to add another point to the board at Old Trafford.  Meanwhile, given that Man Utd have netted at least twice in 15 successive home matches, while Southampton have kept just two clean sheets in their last eleven games, we can expect another high-scoring affair at Old Trafford on Sunday.  So an over 2.5 goals game is the best prediction for this game.

Bournemouth vs Liverpool: Preview and Expert Football Prediction

Bournemouth and Liverpool will meet at Vitality Stadium this Saturday for the 27th Round of the 2022/23 Premier League season. Both sides are fighting at the other end of the spectrum, with the hosts sitting rock bottom of the Premier League after a narrow 3-2 loss to Arsenal last weekend.  Despite leading the Premier League leaders 2-0 up till the 60th minute, Gary O’Neil’s succumbed to late pressure from Mikel Arteta’s men, with that the third time this season they’ve taken such a lead only to suffer defeat. Read more: Crystal Palace vs Manchester City: Preview and Expert Football Prediction The hosts have been conceding late goals recently, with the Cherries of the PL’s worst defence conceding a league-high eight goals after the 80th minute. However, the Vitality Stadium faithful will feel they can play a part in ensuring that tally isn’t added to against a rampant Liverpool side, which they have lost to in the last seven games.  The Reds are still on cloud nine after a 7-0 win over their fierce rivals Manchester United last time. The win made it five games without defeat for Jurgen Klopp’s men in the league. It was also their fifth clean sheet in a  row, and it took them to fifth position on the table, three points behind Tottenham, who have played a game more.  Liverpool beat Bournemouth 9-0 at Anfield in the reverse fixture, their seventh successive victory over their hosts, scoring a mammoth 28 goals and conceding only once in that time. Such a dominant record should make the Reds confident of winning this game and (at least momentarily) leapfrog Tottenham Hotspur into fourth place. That said, we can expect over 2.5 goals scored in this game.

Crystal Palace vs Manchester City: Preview and Expert Football Prediction

Struggling Crystal Palace will look to end a terrible run of form this Saturday when they welcome Manchester City to Selhurst Park in the 27th Round of the 2022/23 PL season.  The Eagles have been in free fall in 2023 and come into this tie without a league win this year. Their last outing was a 1-0 loss to Aston Villa and extended their winless run n all competitions to ten games (D5, L5). The goalless outing also means that Patrick Vieira’s side have not had a shot and target in over three hours of competitive action.  Although they remain in 12th position, they are gradually sliding towards the relegation zone, with just five points now separating them from 18th-placed Everton. However, Palace boss Patrick Vieira was defiant in the build-up to this clash, stating, “we know we can compete against teams like Manchester City.”  Read more: Bayern Munich vvs Augsburg: Preview and Expert Football Prediction With two clean sheets in their last three head-to-heads with City (W1, D1, L1), Palace will fancy their chances of recording a positive result against City. However, Pep GUardiola’s side are a formidable side in attack after scoring six goals across their last three competitive games. The visitors kept up the pace with league leaders Arsenal with a 2-0 win over Newcastle United last time, with five points the difference between both teams. However, with Mikel Arteta’s men playing on Sunday, Guardiola’s charges can crank up the pressure by provisionally cutting the gap to two points. But this game will not be a walk in the park for the Cityzens as each of their last nine goals against Palace have arrived after halftime. Also, the fact that the Eagles have won the lion’s share of their points (14/23) after conceding the opening goal (W4, D2, L8) means that another long evening is on the cards for City.  Click here to get the best soccer predictions today.

Brentford vs Fulham: Preview and Expert Football Prediction

Fulham will look to keep their quest for a top-six finish alive when they travel to Brentford Community Stadium on Monday to face fellow Londoners and European hopefuls Brentford. Both teams are flying high in the Premier League table, sitting inside the top half after more than half of the league games. The hosts sit in ninth position after 23 games with eight wins, eleven draws and four losses. Only league leaders Arsenal and Newcastle United (both three) have recorded fewer losses this season than Thomas Frank’s men. Read more: Real Betis vs Real Madrid: Preview and Expert Football Prediction They come into this fixture without a league loss since October (W5, D6), so they will go into this tie confident of getting a win against a Fulham side who sit four points ahead of them. The visitors are currently occupying the seventh position, having played two more games than their hosts. So they will be desperate to win this tie to ensure they can remain close to the top four ahead of a crucial run of games. Marco Silva’s men booked an FA Cup quarter-final spot last time out, thanks to a 2-0 win over Leeds United. But the win came at the expense of key midfield player João Palhinha, who begins a two-game suspension here.  But given that they are unbeaten in all but one PL game against sides beginning the round below themselves (W11, D5, L1), they will fancy their chances against Brentford.Click here to get direct win predictions

Liverpool vs Manchester United: Preview and Expert Football Prediction

Liverpool and Manchester United will renew their longtime rivalry in the Premier this Sunday when both sides meet at Anfield for the 62nd Premier League meeting. Clashes between both sides have often been top-of-the-table clashes. However, this time both are fighting for separate crowns this season. While the Red Devils are fighting to win the PL title, Liverpool are fighting to finish in the top four places. Read more: Atletico Madrid vs Sevilla: Preview and Expert Football Prediction The hosts started the season poorly but have hit a purple patch recently, as evidenced by their four-game unbeaten run in the Premier League ahead of this game (W3, D1). They beat Wolves 2-0 in their last outing to make it four league games without conceding a goal. With just six points now separating them and fourth-placed Tottenham, they will be desperate to win this game to close the gap to three points with a game to spare. They are unbeaten in their last seven home games against Man United (W4, D3), so they will fancy their chances of getting a win.  However, the Red Devils have proved tough opponents in their recent games. They come into this tie on an eleven-game unbeaten run (W9, D2) and at least one goal in 28 consecutive games. That run landed them a Carabao Cup last week and should have put them in a confident mood ahead of this game. However, no PL side has earned more points than the Red Devils’ 23 (W7, D2, L1) since the World Cup, so they will present a stern test for Jürgen Klopp’s side.Meanwhile, given that goals have been scored in both halves in nine of the last eleven H2H matches, we can place a ‘Goal First Half’ bet for this game.
