Everton

With the help of Richarlison de Andrade, they get a three-match winning streak. But it is a pity that they lose to Chelsea in last game, which ends their winning streak. Now they are the sixth in the table of the League, only two points away from European games. Undoubtedly they will try their best to make points.

 

Burnley

It is out of expectation that they have taken points from Leicester City and Arsenal. But there is not enough quality in the team because they have only 25% winning percentage. They have to put more efforts to avoid relegation as they rank the fifteenth in League table.

 

Verdict:

Everton are the sixth in League table, aiming for European games. But Burnley are struggling for avoiding relegation. Although Everton suffer a 2-0 defeat from Chelsea in last game, they still take the upper hand over Brunley. So Everton have the tendency to win.

 

Everton VS Burnley

Prediction: 1-0, 2-0

Newcastle vs Aston Villa

The Premier League action kicks off on Friday night with an underwhelming game between relegation battlers Newcastle and mid-table side Aston Villa in an 8pm GMT kick-off at St James' Park. Both of these teams have displayed poor form and performances in recent games so grabbing all 3 points here will be a huge opportunity to get their form back on track.

Newcastle are a team facing a dire end to the season if they don't start to pick up some positive results. Steve Bruce's men are in 16th place and just 1 point above the relegation zone. It's now been 8 losses from their last 12 league games and no win in their last 4 league matches with the club in freefall. Injuries continue to plague the side with Callum Wilson, Allan Saint-Maximin, Miguel Almiron, and Fabian Schar all still ruled out. Defensive issues are still a big concern for the Magpies with the club conceding 44 goals in their 27 league games and only keeping 1 clean sheet in their last 17 home league matches. The fact that Bruce has failed to beat Aston Villa in his 4 matches against them as a manager since he left his role at Villa Park doesn't help matters.

Aston Villa might well have been surprise pace setters at the start of the season but those days are long gone. Just 1 win in their last 5 league matches has coincided with talisman Jack Grealish being ruled out through injury. The attacking midfielder will miss this game as well and his absence has clearly affected Villa's goalscoring. The club haven't been able to score more than 1 goal in their last 8 league games. In contrast to their opponents for today's game, Aston Villa have displayed some exemplary defensive performances this season equalling a club top flight record of 8 clean sheets away from home this season. Only Ederson has kept more clean sheets than Emiliano Martinez this campaign.

Neither of these two teams are in a purple spell of form at the moment and you could argue that victory is more important for Newcastle. I fear that this season could be simmering out into mediocrity for Aston Villa so they'll be keen to get the win to try and end on a high. I'm not sure either team has enough in their arsenal to go and grab the win though so I have to back a bore draw.

Can´t see anything else then a Aston Vila Win today. For sure they will miss there best Grealish, but they are at the Moment one of the best Defensive Teams in Season. So they only need to manage to score 1 Goal again to Win. Because Newcastle struggle big at the Moment, Fulham pushing from behind and today without 3 best offensive Players again i don´t know how they will score today. For me here Aston Villa win with 1-0 or 2-0 is possible....

Surprised to see that Brighton are favourites at Southampton.  Both teams are out of form, but Southampton can partly attribute this to all their injuries, whereas Brighton's problem is the same as ever- they don't take their chances and don't have a top quality striker.  Brighton also have a poor record against Saints.  I certainly don't see Southampton losing this one, so happy to back the home side at the prices, but with a little bit of cover on the draw as Brighton draw a lot of matches (level with Fulham for most in the PL).

Man U at nearly evens to beat West Ham is also tempting, especially as Lingard can't play for West Ham.  However, they didn't play great against Milan, and will be tired from that, plus they have injury problems up front.  All the same, the price feels a bit bigger than you'd expect against an ordinary team like West Ham who are admittedly overachieving this season.

As for the NLD, I think the prices are about right, and no result would really surprise me, but if Mourinho wants to endear himself to the spurs fans, he should be targeting the win in this match.  The lack of any fan hostility makes this more or less like any other match so it will probably lack the usual passion which could play into spurs' hands.  I'd expect there to be goals as both teams are good going forward and not so good defensively.  Kane loves a goal against Arsenal and he's a big price to score anytime (2.5 skybet) so i'd take the result out of it and go with Kane to score anytime as my best bet in this match.

Leeds United vs Chelsea

Leeds has been in poor form lately, but the hosts still sit in the middle of the table. The Whites lost four of their last five games, however, they had a pretty tough schedule. Marcelo Bielsa’s side has been pretty productive this season, scoring a total of 43 goals. On the other hand, Stuart Dallas and the lads need to perform much better in the back, as Leeds has one of the competition’s leakiest defenses. The home side hasn’t been too convincing at Elland Road, as Leeds celebrated just five times in 13 matches at its ground. Although the home side is far from challenging one of the continental spots, they will be happy to stay out of the trouble. Leeds United will try to put on a good display and pick up some points from this game.

Chelsea continues to play very well under Thomas Tuchel. The Blues still hasn’t lost after the German head coach took over the bench. At one point, it seemed Chelsea cannot hope for the Champions League ticket for the next season. However, a good streak and nine games without a defeat in the Premier League launched them to 4th place. Mason Mount and the lads haven’t lost 13 times in a row in all competitions. Chelsea is on a good track of progressing to the Champions League quarter-finals after beating Atletico Madrid on the road. The away side is two points ahead of West Ham, who has one game in hand. The Blues improved a lot when playing at away grounds, as they missed the chance to win just once in the previous four outings. They want to keep up the pace and remain in the top four.

Full-Time Winner Odds & Prediction

Chelsea is in much better form, and the visitors are favorites in this match. We believe they will meet the expectations and get back home with valuable three points.

Goals Market Prediction

Leeds United has been involved in many efficient matches this season, and this one shouldn’t be much different. We expect to see at least three goals in total in this game.

Leeds vs Chelsea

It was a very positive start to our Premier League weekend of betting as Newcastle snatched a late draw against Aston Villa. The action continues on Saturday at 12:30pm GMT when mid-table side Leeds host a resurgent Chelsea at Elland Road. This will be an intriguing test for the away side who are bang in form but they need to be at their best to take a win against this frantic home team.

Leeds are on a poor run of form at the moment with 4 losses from their last 5 league games. Marcelo Bielsa's team have had a problem down recent seasons of tailing off as the season draws to a close so is this a case of that happening again? Or is it just a blip? The Whites are in 11th place and 9 points clear of relegation. Any threat of being dragged into the dogfight at the bottom of the table seems remote but you never know. The team has struggled to get wins against the sides at the top having failed to win any of their home league games against teams positioned in the top half of the table at kick-off. First half performances have been letting the team down with the club failing to score in the first 45 minutes of their last 5 league games and conceding a league-high 29 goals in the opening half of their league matches this season.

Chelsea continue to thrive under the management of Thomas Tuchel. The Blues are up to 4th in the table and remain undefeated in 11 matches across all competitions under the German head coach. It's now 6 wins and 3 draws for Chelsea in the league since Tuchel took over with 7 clean sheets achieved during that period. The emphasis on defence first has been clear and it's a philosophy that is working wonders. Away performances have been conservative with the team winning 5 of their 6 away matches in all competitions by a single goal.

There is a chance for Chelsea to set a new club record of four straight wins against Leeds here. A victory will provide Chelsea with a double win over Leeds in the league for the first time since 1989. I have a feeling they'll do it too. Leeds aren't quite right at the moment. Goals have dried up and that's something they relied upon with their all out attack playing style. This organised Chelsea unit should be able to keep the home team at bay and we know the Leeds defence isn't up to much when put under pressure.

Crystal Palace vs West Brom

One of the lesser high profile matches in the Premier League this weekend is the 3pm GMT kick-off on Saturday afternoon between mid-table Crystal Palace and relegation battling West Brom at Selhurst Park. Time is running out for the away side to pick up wins to give themselves a chance of survival but can they manage to get a victory here against an experienced host team?

Crystal Palace are in 13th place and 8 points clear of relegation. The survival job isn't complete yet but another 2-3 wins will surely be enough to keep the Eagles in the top flight of English football for next season. Roy Hodgson's future might be up in the air but the club have only lost 1 of their last 4 league games so the uncertainty off the pitch isn't having too much of an impact on it. The good news for Palace fans is that Wilfried Zaha could be back involved after a spell on the sidelines. The 4-1 defeat to Tottenham last weekend was a disappointment so the team will be hoping to bounce back here. Scoring goals remains a problem at the moment with the club having failed to hit the back of the net in their last 3 home league games and they have only managed 5 shots on goal across their last 4 league games.

West Brom will certainly feel this is a game they can win. The Baggies are down in 19th place and 8 points adrift of safety but a victory here could give their faint survival hopes a boost. Sam Allardyce has seen his team lose just 1 of their last 5 league games and they have failed to score in 3 of their last 4 league matches. Away form has been a big issue for the club this season with just 1 win coming from their 13 league games on the road. One shining light for West Brom fans is that their team have kept 3 clean sheets in their last 4 league matches.

Is this game destined for a 0-0? Neither side has been on fire in front of goal for a while now but I feel that the return of Zaha for Palace could be the difference here. It's been obvious that the London club have been struggling for goals since he's been out injured and I feel his return could see them have more of a threat in the final third. West Brom are killing games recently so I expect something similar here. I am predicting a narrow 1-0 win for Palace but I wouldn't be surprised if it ends 0-0.

Everton vs Burnley

The third game on Saturday coming up in the Premier League is a 5:30pm GMT start between Everton and Burnley at Goodison Park. The home side have been on a solid run of form recently but suffered a set back last week so will be hoping to get back to winning ways against a visiting team who are proving hard to beat but can't quite get the wins at the moment.

Everton might have lost to Chelsea in their last game but before that fixture they managed 3 wins in a row with a clean sheet in each of those victories. Carlo Ancelotti's men are in 6th place and just 4 points off the pace of the Champions League qualification spots with a game in hand. The Toffees must face the next 2 months without central midfielder Abdoulaye Doucoure after the former Watford man fractured his foot against West Brom. It's a blow for the Merseyside club who are also having to deal with their star striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin going through a dry spell of just 2 goals in 13 league games and no goals in his last 8 home league matches. This has been a big factor in the club only scoring 7 goals in their last 10 home league games.

Burnley are putting in some dogged performances recently and even though it's just 1 defeat in their last 7 league matches it's also just 1 win from their previous 9 league games. The Clarets are down in 15th position and precariously just 4 points above the relegation zone. Away form has been an ongoing issue for Sean Dyche's men this season with 7 of their 13 away league games ending in defeat. However, only Aston Villa have kept more clean sheets on the road in the league than Burnley's 6 this season. Burnley have also failed to score in 8 of their away league matches.

The away days for Burnley have often failed to see victory and the same goes for their away record against Everton having lost 5 of their last 6 head-to-head meetings. 5 of their last 7 league matches have ended in draws and I think they'll adopt a similar resilience that will be needed to get something here. I just feel Everton could have too much. It'll be a close game but I have to back a home win.

Fulham vs Manchester City

The Premier League relegation battle and title race are the focus of attention in the final game on Saturday in the top flight of English football when lowly Fulham host league leaders Manchester City at 8pm GMT from Craven Cottage. Is this game a foregone conclusion as an away win or can the improving home team notch up a giant-killing against the odds?

Fulham pulled off the result of their season last weekend when they beat reigning champions Liverpool by a 1-0 score. It was a result we tipped to happen and the London side didn't let us down even though we've been mightily critical of them this season at times. Scott Parker's men are still in 18th place but only remaining in the relegation zone due to their inferior goal difference. A draw or more here and they'll move out of the bottom three. The Cottagers have lost just 1 of their last 7 league games so their form is on the up and they are ranked 5th in the table over the past 6 league games. However, they have only scored 8 league goals at home this season. Defensive performances have been key for Fulham recently though with the West Londoners keeping 5 clean sheets in their last 7 league matches.

Manchester City are a team looking set to regain the league title. Pep Guardiola's men bounced back to winning ways in midweek with a convincing 5-2 win at home to Southampton after their undefeated run came to an end against Manchester United last weekend. The Citizens are top of the table and clear of rivals United by 14 points. The team now needs just 6 wins from their final 9 league games to secure the title. It's also 12 straight away wins in a row across all competitions for City. Guardiola has a firm hold over Fulham having won all 5 competitive games against the club by an aggregate score of 13-0.

I appreciate that Fulham have picked up their results recently and credit where it's due. This is an opposition on another level though and I have to say that given Fulham's low scoring at home and City's historic defensive performances combined with their defensive displays this season I feel this game is looking good value as a clean sheet away win for the league leaders.

Arsenal vs Tottenham Hotspur

Arsenal has another disappointing campaign, and, likely, the hosts won’t participate in the continental competitions next season. The Gunners sit in 10th place with only 38 points won. Mikel Arteta’s side lost 11 matches in Premier League this season and is very far from the Europa League spots. Although Rob Holding and the lads perform much better in the back than the previous campaign, their teammates from attack haven’t been efficient enough. Arsenal booked two wins in the last five rounds and has been pretty inconsistent lately. However, a victory over Olympiakos on the road can encourage home fans ahead of this game.

Tottenham Hotspur improved its form lately, and the away side celebrated three straight wins in the English top-flight. The Spurs sit in the 7th spot but still hope to finish in the top four. Jose Mourinho’s side is only five points behind Chelsea, having one game in hand. If we count the Europa League matches, Tottenham booked five victories in a row. During that period, Sergio Reguilon and the lads conceded only once, while the Spurs scored four goals on three occasions. Tottenham had some troubles on the road lately, after losing in their three straight outings. However, they managed to get back on the winning track after beating Fulham. We need to admit that the visitors have been very lucky, as VAR ruled out a Cottagers goal. The away side wants to continue its streak and gets closer to the 4th spot.

Full-Time Winner Odds & Prediction

These derbies are always tricky to predict, as both sides will give their best to beat fierce rivals. However, Tottenham is in much better momentum, and we think the Spurs could take all three points.

Goals Market Prediction

Both teams were very productive lately, and although the visitors are very hard to crack recently, we expect to see an efficient game. We don’t believe any of the teams can keep the clean sheet.

Manchester United vs West Ham United

Man Utd managed to break their local rival’s winning record in the latest round after beating Manchester City on the road. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side played a very good match and deservedly celebrated 2:0. The Red Devils head to this match after a 1:1 draw against Milan in the Europa League. Although they had a lead, the stoppage-time goal prevented them from securing the first-leg advantage. It was United’s fourth draw in the previous five matches in all competitions. Bruno Fernandes and the lads sit in 2nd spot, but they are very far from the title battle. The Citizens are 14 points ahead, with one extra game played. Manchester United should focus on keeping the 2nd spot as Leicester City is only a point behind them. The hosts haven’t lost 12 times in a row, and they want to keep their record intact.

West Ham United has been excellent lately, and a series of victories saw them climbing to 5th place. The Hammers are only two points behind Chelsea and with one game in hand. David Moyes’s side lost just once in the previous six Premier League rounds, and they consistently play well. Tomas Soucek and the lads have been very disciplined and improved their defensive work. On the other hand, the attackers were pretty productive and failed to score only once in the previous 12 games. West Ham puts good displays on the road, but they were unable to win in the last two outings. The visitors want to continue with good performances and try picking up some points at Old Trafford.

Full-Time Winner Odds & Prediction

Both teams have been playing well lately, but Manchester United is a slight favorite in this one. We believe the hosts will meet the expectations and win this important game.

Goals Market Prediction

The Red Devils have been very disciplined in the back lately and conceded only once in the previous five games. Their latest clash has also been pretty tight, and we don’t expect to see more than two goals in total in this one.

Both teams are in good shape, so the players' psychology is high. At the same time, this is a big derby, so the players from both teams feel some pressure. Derby is usually decided by the individual quality of some and that is why I will give Tottenham an advantage. They have three players who can make a difference - Kane, Sean and Bale. I will also give Mourinho an advantage, as he is more experienced than Artetas. I believe that Tottenham will not lose the Asian handicap +0.5 goals.

Southampton vs Brighton

It's a big day in the Premier League on Sunday and the football begins with a south coast clash at 12pm GMT as struggling Southampton face an out-of-sorts Brighton at St Mary's Stadium. Relegation to the Championship has become a real threat for both of these teams now after a run of awful results but can either team grab a win to ease their drop zone worries?

Southampton had appeared to have ended their losing run with a 2-0 win away to bottom-placed club Sheffield United last weekend but a 5-2 battering at the hands of league leaders Manchester City in midweek made it just 1 win from their last 11 league games. Ralph Hasenhuttl's side are in 14th place and just 7 points above the bottom three and do possess a game in hand of a few clubs below them. However, with just 10 games left to play there is still time for the Saints to get sucked into the dogfight. Defence is a big worry for Southampton having conceded 24 goals in their last 8 league games and without leading scorer Danny Ings they aren't exactly blessed with attacking threats. The one shining light of optimism is that Southampton have taken 19 points from a possible 24 points in games against teams below them in the table.

Brighton continue to be the team that plays attractive football and have all the assets of a solid top flight side but the inability to be clinical in front of goal and get the wins is hurting them. Graham Potter's men are in 17th place and only outside the relegation zone on goal difference but they do boast two games in hand on 18th placed Fulham. The Seagulls haven't won in 5 league games now and have only scored 3 goals during that run. Potter played 8 league games for Southampton as a player back in the 1996/97 season so he'll be keen to get a win against his former employers here.

As @thfc rightly mentioned, I'm surprised to see that Brighton come into this game as favourites. Southampton looked a lot better against Sheffield United and isn't it harsh to judge them against an in-form Manchester City team. They did still bag two goals against the best defence in the league. I'm torn between backing Southampton for a win and seeing this end in a draw. I think Brighton will once again look to dominate possession but can they score the goals needed to win? I'm not sure and unless that issue is addressed they could be in trouble this season.

Leicester vs Sheffield United

The second game of the day in the Premier League on Sunday afternoon is a clash between Champions League-chasing Leicester and relegation-bound Sheffield United at 2pm GMT from the King Power Stadium. The home side are right in the mix to qualify for Europe's elite club competition but can they inflict more heartbreak on a visiting side who confirmed the departure of their manager Chris Wilder on Saturday.

Leicester put a swift end to their two games without a win by beating relegation battlers Brighton by a 2-1 score last weekend. Brendan Rodgers' side is still without key creative midfielder Harvey Barnes and James Maddison but the team is boosted by the anticipated returns of Jonny Evans, Ayoze Perez, and Dennis Praet. The Foxes are in 3rd place and 5 points inside the top four whilst also being just 1 point behind 2nd placed Manchester United. There is reason for Leicester fans to be concerned here though. Only 19 of the club's 53 points earned this season have come at home and top scorer Jamie Vardy has only scored 1 goal in his last 14 games in all competitions. However, Vardy has scored or assisted in each of his last 3 matches against Sheffield United.

Sheffield United were rocked by the mutually agreed termination of Wilder's contract. Many felt the man who was a Blades fan himself would have been the ideal candidate to bring the team straight back up from the Championship. The board's decision to seemingly place former Bournemouth manager Jason Tindall in caretaker charge hasn't exactly been well-received either. The club are rooted to the foot of the league table on 14 points and now 12 points adrift of safety. It's now 11 defeats from their last 13 away league games. Each of their 4 wins in the league have come in midweek matches this season.

I'm not really sure where to start with this. Yes, Leicester have key absentees but what on earth are Sheffield United doing getting rid of Wilder? I feel it's a similar situation to Burnley and Sean Dyche. I'm adamant he'd have been the right man to take them into the Championship campaign next season and get them back up. It's a ruthless game and I'm not a big fan of Tindall. I thought he was very mediocre at Bournemouth with the players he had at his disposal and the funds available. I'm not convinced we'll see a new manager bounce because a lot of the United players seemed very fond of Wilder. I can only back a home win here.

Arsenal vs Tottenham

The undoubted biggest game of the weekend in the UK schedule is the North London derby between Arsenal and Tottenham at 4:30pm GMT on Sunday afternoon at the Emirates Stadium. Both of these two massive clubs are experiencing disappointing campaigns on a domestic front so far but can they get a win here to give themselves a psychological boost to push on and potentially gatecrash the Champions League qualification battle?

Arsenal are still loitering in mid-table in the top flight of English football down in 10th place and 13 points behind 4th placed Chelsea but with 2 games in hand there will be a feeling that qualification for next season's elite European club competition isn't entirely out of their reach yet. Mikel Arteta's side have lost just 1 of their last 4 league games and there are glimpses of the potential of this squad being shown but they've still only won 2 of their last 7 league matches. The Gunners have lost 5 home league games already which is the most amount of home league defeats they have accrued in a season since 1994/95. However, they have only lost 2 of their last 35 home league encounters against Tottenham. Arteta has struggled against Jose Mourinho at Tottenham though having lost his two North London derbies played so far. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is an anytime scorer shout having scored 6 goals in his last 4 starts for the club.

Tottenham come into this game looking more like the side that stormed to the top of the table at the beginning of the season. Mourinho has got his key men clicking now and with Gareth Bale scoring 6 goals in his last 7 appearances for the club there's a feeling that the front three of Bale, Harry Kane, and Son Heung-min could devastate any top division defence. Spurs are in 7th place and only 6 points off the top four with 2 games in hand. Recent away form is a problem for Tottenham with the team managing just 2 wins from their last 9 away days in the league. Just 10 goals have been scored in their last 11 away league matches. The good news is that Tottenham have won 3 league games on the trot and with Kane scoring 11 goals in 14 appearances against Arsenal in all competitions they certainly have the fire power to trouble this Arsenal back-line.

Well, this is going to be a very interesting North London derby. Right off the bat, I'd have to back Tottenham to get the win but this awful record at Arsenal over recent years in the league and their horrid away form in the league is a worry for me. Arsenal do have the ability to pull a performance out of the bag against the higher placed sides. Thinking back to their wins over Manchester United, Chelsea, and Leicester this season. I still feel Tottenham are hitting their best form again and I'm still not convinced Arsenal have what it takes to qualify for Europe this season.

Manchester United vs West Ham

The last game of the day on Sunday in the Premier League is a fascinating one when high-flying rivals Manchester United and West Ham go toe-to-toe in a 7:15pm GMT kick-off at Old Trafford. This game will certainly be a great marker for the away side to see how far they've come over the past couple of seasons as David Moyes returns to his former club with a mission to inflict some revenge on the hosts.

Manchester United are back to being a side that are challenging at the right end of the league table once again. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's men are 2nd in the table and even though the title looks lost this season the fans will still be delighted to see the club back in amongst the leaders and competing in the Champions League regularly. The Red Devils will be without attacking trio Anthony Martial, Marcus Rashford, and Edinson Cavani so midweek scorer Amad Diallo could make his league debut. The club are undefeated in 12 matches across all competitions and have lost just 1 of their last 22 league matches. However, their home stats bring concern. All 4 of the clubs defeats this season have come at home and they have only managed 1 win in 6 games against teams that have started the weekend of fixtures in the top half of the table. Still, the team have scored 3 goals or more in their last 3 home league games and have kept 3 consecutive clean sheets.

West Ham have been this season's surprise package with the club now in 5th place under Moyes. The Hammers are just 3 points behind 4th placed Chelsea with 2 games in hand so a victory here would be a massive statement. Unfortunately, in-form Jesse Lingard is ineligible to face his parent club in this game which is a blow given his recent performances. The club's recent form has been superb with 8 wins from their last 11 league games. There is an opportunity for the club to already equal their club Premier League record of 7 away league wins here. All this being said, their 4 away defeats this season have come against Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, and Manchester City. The East London club are also without a win in their last 12 visits to Old Trafford.

It's not been a pleasant fixture for West Ham fans so far this season with Manchester United winning the reverse fixture at the London Stadium back in December by a 3-1 score-line and then knocking the Hammers out of the FA Cup. I feel West Ham are making huge strides under Moyes and even though they lost against Manchester City they proved they can trouble the very best. I'm expecting a similar story here. A brave effort from the visitors but the home side should come away with a win.

Wolves vs Liverpool

It hasn’t been a successful campaign for Wolves so far as the hosts sit in 13th place. They failed to win in the last three rounds and picked up two points in that period. Nuno Espirito Santo’s side is far from challenging one of the continental spots, but they should stay in the safe zone. Although Conor Coady and the lads are decent in the back, they have severe trouble converting their chances into goals. Wolves netted only 28 times so far in the season and are among the least efficient teams. The hosts booked five victories at Molineux Stadium on 13 occasions, and they should be more confident at home. However, they picked up seven points from the previous three home games. Wolves need to put a disciplined performance to get a chance of remaining undefeated.

Liverpool’s slump in the Premier League continued last weekend after a narrow 1:0 defeat against Fulham at Anfield. Jurgen Klopp’s side slipped down to 8th position, being eight points behind Chelsea and with one game in hand. Mo Salah and the lads have been very inefficient lately as they scored only four goals in the previous seven rounds. During that period, the Reds lost six matches, and they are pretty far from the Champions League zone. On the other hand, Liverpool managed to progress to the Champions League quarter-finals after a 4:0 aggregate win over RB Leipzig. The visitors haven’t been too confident on the road, as they celebrated just five times in 13 outings. Liverpool needs urgently to get back on the winning track if they want to secure a Champions League ticket.

Full-Time Winner Odds & Prediction

Neither side has been playing well lately, and we might see a very tight clash. Both teams have a chance to win something from this game, and we won’t be surprised if the match ends in a draw.

Goals Market Prediction

The visitors have been involved in many low-scoring matches lately, as their last six games stayed under a 2.5 margin. With Wolves being pretty inefficient this season, we shouldn’t see more than two goals in total in this match.

Draw @ 3.80

Under 2.5 FT @ 1.80

Correct score 1:1 @ 8.00

Wolves vs Liverpool

The final game in this round of Premier League matches is the clash between mid-table Wolves and Champions League qualification hopefuls Liverpool on Monday night in an 8pm GMT kick-off from Molineux. Both of these two teams are enduring seasons that are falling below expectations and with their current form not exactly setting the division alight a win is greatly needed.

Wolves had hoped that the prospect of a season without European football could allow them to really have a crack at consolidating the progress they've made in the top flight over recent seasons. Unfortunately, it's not quite gone that way for Nuno Espirito Santo's side with the club down in 13th place and only 9 points above the relegation zone. Qualification for European football next season looks unlikely and it appears this season could be a write-off. Recent form hasn't been too bad for Wanderers with just 1 loss in their last 7 league matches but they have only taken 2 points from their last 3 league games.

Liverpool look to be failing to defend their first league title in 30 years in miserable fashion. The Reds have lost 6 of their last 7 league games and find themselves in 8th position and 8 points adrift of the top four. Not only is the title defence looking gone but qualification for Europe in any form is now in huge doubt. Jurgen Klopp's men actually have the worst form in the top division for games played since the beginning of February. Scoring goals is a big issue for the team right now having only managed 8 goals in their last 13 league games.

I'm not sure either side will be coming into this game brimming with confidence. Wolves have struggled to recover their season after that fractured skull injury to main striker Raul Jimenez. Liverpool are just mystifyingly awful at the moment. It's hard to see how either team will find a way to get the 3 points. No person in their right mind would back Liverpool at this time but I don't think Wolves are playing well enough to warrant being picked as favourites. This could be a dour game that ends in a cautious draw.

Who am I to disagree with your brilliant picks and previews, but I have a hunch we`ll see more than a couple of goals at Molineaux tonight. It`s do or die for Liverpool tonight if they want to participate in Champions league race. That`s why I expect a bit more offensive guard from Klop`s side tonight.  On the other hand Wolves have individuals who can cause problems to most sides in the Premier League. It`s true that they`ve gone through injury crisis  and this season is not as successful as last year`s but they are definitely  showing signs of improvement.

I believe both sides will score tonight and it won`t be a surprise for me if we see an extra goal or more from any of the sides. That`s why I`ll try BOTH TO SCORE AND OVER2,5 @2,30 at my local bookie.
