Premier League Predictions & Tips
Brighton & Hove Albion v Manchester City - Thursday, 8pm
Match Result and Both Teams To Score - Manchester City and Yes
Manchester City will continue their title challenge as they head to the south coast on Thursday evening to face Brighton in the Premier League.
Brighton are just stumbling towards the finish line in the Premier League, a long season with European football looks to have taken it’s toll on Roberto De Zerbi’s side, currently midtable but winless in their last four games, including last time out against strugglers Burnley, it took a howler from Clarets goalkeeper to seal a point for the Seagulls.
Manchester City’s dream of winning back-to-back trebles was shattered when Real Madrid came to town, Los Blancos knocked the current holders out of the Champions League on penalties. However, the double is still on for Pep’s men after their victory against Chelsea on Saturday in the FA Cup semi-final, it has to be said that they were lucky to get the win, had Chelsea been more ruthless in the final third, I could have been a really bad week for Man City. They are playing catch up in the league now in terms of games played but the ball is in their court for the title.
Player to Score from Outside the Box - Kevin De Bruyne
Manchester City have beaten Brighton in twelve of their last fifteen meetings, eight of which seen both teams score on the day/night. The Cityzens also have a good record in Brighton, having won four of their last six, I’d be surprised if we didn’t see another City victory here.
Aston Villa v Chelsea - Saturday, 8pm
Both Teams To Score and Total Goals Over / Under - Yes and Over (3.5)
Aston Villa welcome Chelsea to Villa Park in the evening kick off in the Premier League on Saturday evening.
It’s been a brilliant week for Aston Villa and their fans, having secured their place in the Europa Conference League semi-final with a victory over Lille on penalties, Unai Emery has committed his future to the club after signing a contract until 2027. With the likes of Bayern Munich reportedly interested in the Spanish manager, Aston Villa will be delighted to keep their boss and the future certainly looks bright for the Villans. Villa have played two more games than top four rivals Tottenham but they are six points clear in fourth, we know that the Premier League won’t be receiving the extra Champions League spot for next season, so effectively Villa have got four games left to win to secure their place in the competition.
Nothing sums up Chelsea’s inconsistency this season than the week they’ve just endured, after thumping Everton 6-0 in the league, putting up a real good performance in the FA Cup semi-final against Manchester City, they travelled to Arsenal on Tuesday night and got a thumping of their own, a 5-0 defeat to their London rivals has put more questions over manager Mauricio Pochettino and those Chelsea players.
First Goalscorer - Watkins, O
Aston Villa must ensure they don’t lose focus on this game with their upcoming European semi-final next week, Villa have seen three or more goals in 77% of their home games in the league this season, whilst Chelsea have seen 75% of their games on the road produce the same, I expect goals here and another entertaining game.
Tottenham Hotspur v Arsenal - Sunday, 2pm
Both Teams To Score and Total Goals Over / Under - Yes and Over (3.5)
A North London derby like no other, not only are Tottenham hoping to keep their top four hopes alive, they’re also looking to put a big dent into their bitter rivals Arsenal’s title challenge, as the two meet on Sunday afternoon.
By the time this fixture comes round, Tottenham wouldn’t have played a game for over two weeks, Ange Postecoglou’s side should be well rested since their 4-0 defeat up at Newcastle, whether that two-week period without a high intensity game will help the players, I suppose we’ll only find out during this game. Spurs are fifth in the Premier League, six points behind Aston Villa in that precious Champions League spot, albeit with two games in hand, so they are still well in this top four race. Tottenham have a good home record in the league, they’ve won twelve of their sixteen games and are the only side in the league yet to draw a game at home.
Arsenal showed why they are fighting for the Premier League title with their performance against Chelsea on Tuesday night, the Gunners stuck five past the Blues without reply, a result which not only put them back on the top but it also extends their goal-difference advantage over the two challengers, it could be pivotal in terms of the title winners in May. The Gunners have the best away record in the league, they’ve won eleven of their seventeen games away from the Emirates, losing just three times.
Correct Score - 2:3
The North London derby is usually a really entertaining one and I think we’re in for a treat here with this one, given what’s on the line for both sides and the way the two teams play, I think we can expect plenty of goals and plenty of drama.
