Arsenal vs Manchester City

The home side’s start of the season was a nightmare, and it seemed they would be closer to the relegation zone than the continental battles. However, Arsenal improved its game severely and managed to climb to 4^th place. Mikel Arteta’s side is four points ahead of West Ham, and the Champions League ticket doesn’t seem like a dream to the Gunners’ fans anymore. Gabriel Martinelli and the lads are enjoying an excellent streak since they have celebrated four times in a row. Arsenal has been pretty efficient lately, scoring two or more goals during their winning streak. They want to continue in the same fashion and stay in the top four at the end of the season.

Manchester City established themselves on the top of the table after ten straight wins in the English top flight. Moreover, Liverpool and Chelsea couldn’t manage to keep up the pace, and the Citizens are currently eight points clear from the Blues. Pep Guardiola’s side scored 18 goals on the previous four occasions, however, they go to this match after a narrow 1:0 win over Brentford. Manchester City has been excellent on the road, as they dropped only five points in ten outings. This is the period which Phil Foden and the lads want to capitalize on and remain comfortable on the top of the table.

Full-Time Winner Odds & Prediction

It is going to be an interesting clash since Arsenal increased the level of its performances significantly. They play very well at Emirates Stadium, and we don’t see them losing by more than a goal in this clash.

Goals Market Prediction

Both teams have been very productive lately, and the crowd should enjoy a high-scoring game. We expect both teams to keep up where they left off and find the back of the net in this encounter.

Arsenal AH +1.25 @ 1.80 

BTTS Yes @ 1.70 

Correct score 2:2 @ 17.00

Chelsea vs Liverpool

Kick Off: 01/02/2022 12:30

 

Chelsea

Thomas Tuchel's side were drawn 1-1 by Brighton last time out, and the frustrated Tuchel regretted his team's growing list of absentees. The Blues are now 8 points behind runaway leaders Manchester City in the rankings. Four of their last five Premier League games at Stamford Bridge now ended with 1-1, failing to maintain a clean home sheet in the process represented Chelsea's previous defensive downturn under Tuchel's leadership.

Liverpool

Before the first goal was kicked at the King Power, all signs pointed to Liverpool's victory, but the Reds lost 1-0 to Leicester City last time out. This is only Liverpool's second defeat in all competitions in the 2021-22 season, but the third-placed Liverpool now find themselves 9 points less than Manchester City, and fourth-ranked Arsenal suddenly trailed them by only 6 points. So far this season, they have failed to beat the three London teams Brentford, West Ham United and Tottenham Hotspur in away games.

 

Prediction

History is good for the Reds because they have only lost two of the past 11 Premier League games against the Blues at Stamford Bridge. The exhausted and possibly weak defense of the Blues will definitely benefit Liverpool on Sunday. We expect that Klopp's men will achieve the positive result at Stamford Bridge, which will cause a greater chance of harm to the opponent's championship title.

 

 

1X2 Pick: X2

Both Teams to Score (BTTS)

[DarrenTse]

Brentford vs Aston Villa

Kick Off: 01/02/2022 10:00

 

Brentford

Brentford lost to Manchester City 1-0 on Wednesday. Brentford currently have 5W-5D-8L with 20 points, which puts them 14th in the standings and 9 points from the relegation zone. Earlier this month, Thomas Frank's side got 4 points in two games against Leeds United and Watford, but they did not find a goal in the last two games against Brighton and Manchester City.

Aston Villa

Villa currently rank 12th with 22 points in the standings - only 3 points behind the eighth-ranked Wolverhampton Wanderers in the same number of games (18 games). They lost 3-1 at home to Chelsea on Boxing Day. The original match against Leeds United was postponed due to coronavirus issues. Since Gerrard became the head coach, the team have shown tremendous progress for winning four of their seven games.

 

Prediction

Since February 1953, Brentford have not lost to Villa in any game. Brentford will have enough ability to perform well in front of their own supporters, but Gerrard's men will fancy the opportunity to get points here.

 

 

1X2 Pick: X2

Final Results: 0-1, 1-1

C Palace v West Ham: 10 points on Benrahma to score at 7 on BF

Looks big to me.

[harry_rag]

Also 20 points on >35 booking points at 6/5 Fred (same for >3.5 cards with 365)

Looks like a late ref change, England instead of Oliver. Not sure if some firms have been quicker than others to reflect that in their prices. Not a huge chasm between the 2 but England appeals at that sort of price whereas it would look about right for Oliver.

Chelsea vs Liverpool

After an excellent start of the campaign, Chelsea’s form declined in the past few weeks. Thomas Tuchel’s side spilled too many points lately, and they slipped to 2^nd place, being eight points behind Manchester City. The Blues haven’t lost six times in a row in the English top-flight, but they drew three times during that period. Antonio Rudiger and the lads haven’t been that tight in the back in the previous few rounds, and they managed to keep the clean sheet just two times on the last ten occasions. Chelsea booked just one win at Stamford Bridge in the previous five matches, and they need to be more confident at home to stay in the title race.

Despite their dominance against Leicester City, Liverpool lost the game, which hurt their title bid severely. They are one point behind their upcoming rivals and nine behind the defending champions. Jurgen Klopp’s side failed to win in the last two rounds, picking up just a point during that period. Another tough match is ahead of the Reds, and they need to stabilize their game to continue challenging the top spot. Although Mo Salah and the lads are clinical in front of the opposition’s net, their defense kept the net intact only once on the last six occasions. Liverpool has been pretty inconsistent on the road lately, and they need a win to show they are serious title contenders.

Full-Time Winner Odds & Prediction

This match is going to be a very exciting one, as it can easily go either way. However, neither team has been confident lately, and we won’t be surprised if they split points in this encounter.

Goals Market Prediction

Both teams have had some troubles in the back lately, while they have been quite productive in front of the oppositions’ net. Since both sides will go for a win, we expect to see them scoring on Sunday afternoon.

Draw @ 3.55 

BTTS Yes @ 1.60 

Correct score 1:1 @ 7.00

Manchester United vs Wolves

Kick Off: 01/03/2022 13:30

 

Manchester United

The Red Devils defeated Burnley 3-1 on Thursday night, expanding their unbeaten record in all competitions to eight games. Before the start of Sunday's game, they are seventh in the Premier League - four points behind fourth-placed Arsenal with two games in hand. The Red Devils are now starting to win four consecutive home games.

Wolves

The game between Wolves and Arsenal has been delayed due to the COVID-19 outbreak. Wolves put Chelsea into a goalless deadlock on December 19 - their fifth game without concede in the past seven Premier League games. Even against Liverpool and Manchester City, they were also defeated by only one goal. However, there has only one victory in the last six Premier League games by the team, occupying eighth place in the rankings - 6 points below the upcoming opponent.

 

Prediction

Manchester United have remained unbeaten in the past seven games against Wolves. If Manchester United want to succeed against this well-rested and disciplined Wolves team, whatever shape the visitors may be in, they must not have a trace of squandering.

 

 

1X2 Pick: 1X
