The Premier League is bringing us d-week entertainment with some interesting clashes! Have a look at our match previews!
David Moyes` boys tore the Bournemouth defence apart in their 4-0 victory. Their confidence has been on display recently, as they crushed Gent in a 4-1 victory prior to the weekend`s win, reaching the Conference League semi-finals. The Hammers have lost just 1 of their last 7 home fixtures and managed to score in all 7 – hinting at a challenging night for Liverpool.
Liverpool recorded their 2nd consecutive PL victory, after scraping past Nottingham in a 3-2 win. A key takeaway from their recent form is their defensive slack – as they kept a clean sheet in just 1 of their last 6 PL fixtures. The Reds have won 4 of their last 5 games against the Hammers, although their last trip to the London Stadium ended in a 3-2 defeat. Considering both sides are trigger-happy at the moment, we expect over 2.5 goals and both teams to score.
A key clash in the title race. Manchester City goes into the game with a ton of confidence – having secured a UCL semi-final spot and an FA Cup final spot consecutively. Their high-scoring form resumed against Sheffield, with a 3-0 win, and additionally 16-game unbeaten run in all competitions. To boost their odds even more, the Citizens have lost just 1 home game this season.
Pressure, or a lack of focus – Arsenal has drawn 3 consecutive Premier League fixtures – 2 on the road against West Ham and Liverpool. Although they are dangerous in attack, their defence showed some leaks – an issue when facing a ruthless City attack. Arsenal has lost consecutive meetings with City, and their last victory at the Etihad came back in 2015. We see City as the superior side; therefore, we expect Man City to win and both teams to score.
Tottenham were embarrassed at St. James` Park in a 6-1 loss. The defeat marked their 2nd consecutive defeat in the PL, as they drift further from the Top 4. They have been a force at home, having already beaten Chelsea, Man City and West Ham at the Tottenham Stadium this season, although their atrocious defensive record may cause them trouble, having conceded at least 1 goal in 6 consecutive PL games.
Manchester United secured a spot in the FA Cup final after a nervy penalty shootout against Brighton. The Devils bounced back from 3 consecutive PL games without a win, with 3 consecutive victories. Their away form, however, has been shaky, having won just 2 of their last 5 PL games on the road. To their advantage, they`ve beaten Tottenham in 4 of the last 5 meetings and scored 3 goals in each of their last 2 visits to Spurs. With a focus on Tottenham`s form, we expect Manchester United to win¸ and over 2.5 goals in the game.
