Aston Villa vs Tottenham: Both teams to score @ 1.41
A huge game in the race for European football and we cannot see this one being anything but a thriller. If Villa can shake the hangover from their midweek loss to Crystal Palace in the Carabao Cup, they have the ability to blow Spurs away.
But with a massive midweek victory over Manchester City, Ange Postecoglou’s side will take some beating and could easily brush Villa aside themselves. Either way, we are backing both teams to get on the scoresheet.
Arsenal to beat Newcastle @ 1.94
Arsenal’s tough run of Premier League fixtures continues with their trip to the North East for this weekend’s early kick-off. With an injury-stricken side at this crucial point in the season, do they have the grit to keep up with the pack and maintain their title charge?
Or will the Magpies return to winning ways and bolster their own European ambitions? We think the Gunners will edge this one, but it is going to be close.
Chelsea to beat Manchester United @ 2.53
Chelsea look to have finally found form and unlocked the potential of their immensely talented squad. The question facing manager Enzo Maresca now is whether this is a purple patch, or if they are serious contenders once again.
A period of transition for the Red Devils may cause some more uncertainty before incoming manager Ruben Amorim takes charge. Will that impact their performance at Old Trafford this weekend? Ruud van Nistelrooy will try his best after a 5-2 win over Leicester on Wednesday but for us, Chelsea have too many weapons for United to deal with.
West Brom to beat Luton @ 2.81
Two big sides with differing fortunes in the Championship this season. West Brom sit fifth and are chasing hard for promotion. But on a bit of a losing streak, they need to find their groove if they want to stay in contention.
A freshly-relegated Luton are still reeling and struggling to find their feet this campaign. But they still boast a strong-looking squad, so will be looking for an upward swing in their results. That may take time, though, so we fancy West Brom to get back in the win column this weekend.
Burnley to beat Millwall @ 2.74
Second-place Burnley travel to the capital this weekend to face an in-form Millwall team looking to extend their winning streak to three in a row. After climbing the table rapidly, the Lions will want to challenge for the play-off places.
Meanwhile, Burnley are looking to cement their place in the top two and close ground on league leaders Sunderland. We think the quality in the Clarets’ squad, fuelled by the motivation of a title push, will give them the edge.
