PREDICTIONS

Premier League predictions - week 21

Contributer Ali

Arsenal v Bournemouth

I expect arsenal to roll over Bournemouth here, expect rotation, but it won’t weaken the side top of the table.

Villa vs Palace

A strong Aston Villa side with a red-hot Ollie Watkins face a pretty out-of-form Palace team who must feel stuck in mid-table currently, expect another comfortable home win here.

Brighton v West Ham

West Ham have just come off the back of a brilliant 4-0 Home win but face the league’s surprise team Brighton away from home. Midweek action for the Seagulls may hamper their chances of a win here, but a fiercely contested match should be expected.

Wolves v Tottenham

Wolves have had a strong record against Spurs since their promotion into the Premier League. Wolves come into this fixture after some mixed results, unlike Spurs who are marching into their best form of the season. I sense an extremely narrow home win here as Lopetegui continues his impressive run as Wolves boss.

Southampton v Leicester

This fixture is one that will always be remembered for Leicester’s infamous 9-0 victory and Leicester will still be confident of a win against the league’s bottom spot.

Man City v Newcastle

A dejected Newcastle going to the home of the Champions, I’d expect a straightforward City win here, but don’t be too surprised if Newcastle are able to throw a curveball into the title race here.

Chlesea v Leeds

Chelsea will struggle again, but you can’t look past Leeds poor form at the moment, and you’d hope with the Stamford Bridge crowd giving one last push for Graham Potter they’ll be able to get over the line. Just.

Nottingham Forrest v Everton

A huge game for survival. Nottingham Forest have picked up some brilliant form recently, Steve Cooper would be the last to say that they are out of the relegation battle just yet. Sean Dyche comes into this game after a disappointing result, and I expect his frustrations to grow with another narrow defeat.

Liverpool v Man Utd

The weekend’s marquee fixture sees the flying Manchester United play their historic rivals Liverpool, and both teams’ fortunes could not be more different right now. I would expect a narrow away win here.

Brentford v Fulham

A very big game for both Brentford and Fulham’s hopes of a spot in Europe for next season. Fulham have shown exceptional defensive solidity since the World Cup and with the in-form Manor Solomon, an away win shouldn’t come as much of a surprise.
