Premier League Predictions > Feb 24th - 26th

[StevieDay1983]

The Premier League action is really hotting up as we enter the "business end of the season". Has the Bryan's Gunn Twitter account done a video for that phrase yet?! Anyway, it's the weekend of the EFL Cup Final so Manchester United and Newcastle aren't playing which gives Arsenal and Manchester City a chance to pull away by some points in the table. Two winnable games for the title contenders? Or is it not that easy? Only 3 points now separate the bottom three teams and it'll concern Leicester and West Ham fans that despite recent upturns in form their clubs still can't clamber their way out of the quagmire. Can any of the sides down the bottom pick up wins to boost their survival chances this weekend? Tell us your predictions below!

Although it won't be in the weekend accy, one for Friday that I'll be taking is Fulham to beat Wolves. Just 8 goals away for Wolves this season and a terrible result losing to Bournemouth last weekend. Fulham have a decent home record, winning 50% of their matches and they tend to score goals too. 20 goals in 12 this season. Mitrovic is hit and miss but either way I think they have enough to win that one. I'm also having a small dabble on Fulham to win to nil.

4pts Fulham to beat Wolves 11/8 bet365
1.5pts Fulham to win and BTTS (No) 10/3 bet365

Leicester City vs Arsenal

 

The fox always disappointed us when the first AH odds was +0.5/+1 that they lost five games of that odds recently. On the other hand, Arsenal won four of five games with odds at -0.5/-1, which is trustworthy.

Pick: 2

AH Pick: Arsenal -0.5/-1

Leicester City vs Arsenal

Leicester City won't want a repeat of their last result here after a 3-0 Premier League defeat in their previous game at the hands of Manchester United. That loss broke their two-game winning streak and kept them in the danger zone. Matches featuring Leicester City have tended to be entertaining lately, with plenty of scoring being the norm. Over their past six clashes alone, the sum of 21 goals has gone in for both sides combined (at an average of 3.5 goals per game), with 11 of these accredited to Leicester City. Regarding the availability issues, Ryan Bertrand (Knee Surgery), Jonny Evans (Calf Injury), and James Justin (Achilles tendon rupture) will be missing for Leicester City coach Brendan Rodgers.

Arsenal will come into the match following on from a 4-2 Premier League win against Aston Villa in their previous outing. That victory got the Gunners back on the winning track and helped them increase the advantage over Man City to five points. The numbers tell their own story, and Arsenal has been scored against in 6 of their last six games, letting opponents get ten goals in all. Defensively, Arsenal has not been doing too well. Going into this one, Arsenal remains unbeaten over Leicester City when they've played them away from home in the last two league matches. Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has multiple availability issues to deal with. Mohamed Elneny (Knee Injury) and Gabriel Jesus (Knee Injury) can't be considered.

Full-Time Winner Odds & Prediction                                                                            

It will be a tricky game for the visitors, but we believe they have enough quality to see off the Foxes. Therefore, Arsenal should pick up all three points at King Power Stadium.

Goals Market Prediction

Both teams have been involved in high-scoring matches lately, and that trend should continue in Saturday's game. That's why we think neither team will keep the clean sheet in this encounter.

Arsenal to Win @ 1.70

BTTS Yes @ 1.70

Correct score 1:3 @ 12.50

Tottenham Hotspur vs Chelsea

Tottenham Hotspur will be looking for a repeat result of a 2-0 Premier League victory over West Ham United. The Spurs got back on the winning track after losing to Leicester City 4-1 and took over the 4^th place from Newcastle. A recurring aspect of recent Tottenham Hotspur games is the number of results with nil in them. Taking their prior six clashes leading up to this one, in as many as 5 of them, a bet on "Both Teams to Score" would've lost. Yves Bissouma (Ankle Fracture), Hugo Lloris (Knee Injury), Ryan Sessegnon (Hamstring Injury), and Rodrigo Bentancur (Cruciate Ligament Rupture) aren't available for Tottenham Hotspur boss Antonio Conte.

Following on from a loss in their previous game against Southampton in Premier League action, Chelsea and their traveling supporters will be hoping they can get a better result in this one. It was the Blues' fourth straight winless game, and they are far from the Champions League zone. Clashes involving Chelsea have turned out to be rather mundane affairs latterly, with the absence of attacking cohesion being the rule rather than the exception. During their past six clashes, an uninspiring gross goal total of 5 has been recorded between both them and their opposition at an average goal per match of 0.83. Chelsea boss Graham Potter has to choose from a squad that has some fitness concerns. Christian Pulisic (Knee Problems), Edouard Mendy (Shoulder Injury), Raheem Sterling (Knee Problems), and Armando Broja (Cruciate Ligament Rupture) miss out here.

Full-Time Winner Odds & Prediction                                                                            

Although the Spurs haven't been impressive lately, they are in better form than their city rival. Therefore, we think Tottenham Hotspur will record another vital victory on the home ground.

Goals Market Prediction

Chelsea's offense has produced little over the past few weeks, and they have severe troubles in the final third. That's why we expect a low-scoring encounter with two goals in total at most.

Tottenham Hotspur to Win @ 2.55

Under 2.5 FT @ 1.85

Correct score 1:0 @ 7.80
