Manchester City may well be all set to go on and win the title but what about the Champions League qualification battle, the race for the Europa League spots, and the fight to avoid relegation?

Manchester United vs Aston Villa

Manchester United is preparing for this game after a 2-2 draw in the Premier League against Tottenham Hotspur. In that match, Manchester United had 60% possession and 17 attempts on goal with eight on target. Despite a 2-0 halftime lead, the Red Devils didn't manage to keep their advantage and return home with a win. The defense of Manchester United is a big problem this season, as they conceded 39 goals in the English top flight. The hosts will face selection issues ahead of Sunday's match. Tom Heaton (Ankle Injury), Alejandro Garnacho (Ankle Injury), Scott McTominay (Unknown Injury), Raphaël Varane (Foot Injury), Lisandro Martínez (Metatarsal Fracture), and Donny van de Beek (Knee Injury) are not available for Manchester United coach Erik ten Hag.

Aston Villa goes into the match on the back of a 1-0 Premier League victory with a defeat to Fulham in their last game. In that match, Aston Villa had 52% possession, a total of 14 shots, three on target. Villa recorded eight wins and two draws in the previous ten games, escaped the danger zone, and became competitive in the continental spots race. They are doing well under Unai Emery and hope to pick up where they left off. Due to a completely healthy squad to pick from, Aston Villa manager Unai Emery doesn't have any fitness concerns at all ahead of this clash.

Full-Time Winner Odds & Prediction                                                                            

It is going to be an exciting match, and it won’t be easy for the Red Devils to beat in-form visitors. However, we believe they will meet expectations and take advantage of their good form at Old Trafford.

Goals Market Prediction

Manchester United still has defensive issues, which are partly caused by limited selection due to injuries. The crowd saw at least four goals in their previous three h2h encounters, and we think this game should go over a 2.5 margin.

Liverpool vs Tottenham Hotspur

Liverpool, after the previous result, will be hoping for more of the same after their 2-1 Premier League triumph against West Ham United. Statistically speaking, Liverpool is having one of the worst campaigns in Klopp’s era. The chemistry within the team has been totally disrupted, and the Reds are not the title candidates after a long time. Although they are still far from the top-four zone, Liverpool still hopes to secure a Champions League title at the end of the campaign. Regarding selection issues, Calvin Ramsey (knee surgery) and Stefan Bajcetic (abductor muscle strain) are unavailable for Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp.

Last time out, Tottenham Hotspur drew 2-2 in the Premier League match with Manchester United. The Spurs went to the break with a two-goal deficit, but they managed to pull out a comeback and snatch a point. However, Tottenham needs to return to the winning track if they want to participate in the Champions League next season. They will have a tough task against Liverpool, but their opponents haven’t been convincing throughout the campaign as well. Tottenham Hotspur manager Ryan Mason has to contend with reduced team options currently. Yves Bissouma (Ankle Fracture) and Rodrigo Bentancur (Cruciate Ligament Rupture) won’t be making appearances.

Full-Time Winner Odds & Prediction                                                                            

Although Liverpool has been in better form lately, they haven’t impressed much. The game could go either way, and we won’t be surprised if this match ends in a draw.

Goals Market Prediction

Both sides have had defensive issues recently. Liverpool managed to keep a clan sheet just once on the previous eight occasions, while Tottenham conceded in each of their last eight matches. The BTTS Yes bet won in their previous five head-to-head encounters, and we expect that tradition to continue.

Draw @ 5.00

BTTS Yes @ 1.65

Correct score 1:1 @ 9.70

Arsenal vs Chelsea

Arsenal will be hoping to bounce back here after a 4-1 Premier League defeat in their previous game against Manchester City. In that match, Arsenal had 48% possession and eight attempts, with two on target. The Gunners complicated the fight for the title, and now they no longer depend on themselves, as they won only three points in the previous four matches, with four rounds still to go. Mikel Arteta's side needs to bounce back immediately if they want to stay in the title race. Their schedule is not easy at all, as they go to Newcastle after this match.

After being beaten in their last game against Brentford in the Premier League, Chelsea and their fans will be hoping for a better result here. In that match, Chelsea had 73% of the possession and 15 attempts on goal, of which four were on target. However, the Blues' results crisis is still running, as they lost five times in a row in all competitions. In the winter transfer window, the Blues invested a lot of money, but the results worsened. Lampard has just arrived on the bench, and he already has a lot to do to turn things around. Chelsea boss Frank Lampard has to choose from a squad that has some fitness concerns. Kalidou Koulibaly (Hamstring Injury) and Armando Broja (Cruciate Ligament Rupture) will not be playing here.

Full-Time Winner Odds & Prediction                                                                            

Neither team has enjoyed good results lately, but Chelsea hasn't won nine times in a row. Therefore, we think the Gunners will return to the winning ways and pick up all three points in this encounter.

Goals Market Prediction

Arsenal's defense has been quite leaky recently, and although Chelsea struggles in the front, they might be able to score. That's why we believe neither side will keep a clean sheet in this encounter.

Arsenal to win @ 1.62

BTTS Yes @ 1.87

Correct score 3:1 @ 13.00

Liverpool vs Fulham

Liverpool, buoyed by their previous result, will be hoping for more of the same after a 4-3 Premier League victory against Tottenham Hotspur. In that match, Liverpool had 68% possession and 12 attempts on goal, with 4 of them on target. It was a real rock'n'roll since Tottenham managed to pull a comeback after trailing 3-0. The stoppage-time equalizer muted Anfield, but the stands erupted after Jota scored to bring his side all three points. The Reds still sit in 5th place, with seven points less than Manchester United. In the upcoming game, Calvin Ramsay (Knee Surgery) and Stefan Bajcetic (Tear in the abductor muscle) will not be taking part for Liverpool manager Jürgen Klopp.

After losing their last game against Manchester City in the Premier League, Fulham will be hoping to turn things around. In that game, Fulham had 37% possession and four attempts, 1 of which was on target. Fulham is in a bit of a crisis as far as the results are concerned after the team's best striker Aleksandar Mitrovic is missing due to suspension. Nevertheless, the Cottagers don’t need to worry about survival since they are safe in 10^th place. Fulham manager Marco Silva has some current player fitness concerns. Willian (Torn Muscle Fibre), Andreas Pereira (Unknown Injury), Layvin Kurzawa (Sideband tear), and Tim Ream (Fractured Arm) miss out here.

Full-Time Winner Odds & Prediction                                                                            

Liverpool has been riding on the wave of good results after four straight wins. We expect them to pick up where they left off and extend their victorious run. This time, they should beat their opponents by more than a goal.

Goals Market Prediction

Liverpool’s recent matches have been a joy to watch since their last five games went over a 2.5 margin. This clash shouldn’t be much different, and the crowd should enjoy at least three goals in total on Wednesday evening.

Liverpool AH -1.5 @ 1.72

Over 2.5 FT @ 1.45

Correct score 3:0 @ 8.50

Manchester City vs West Ham

Manchester City hopes to win again after their 2-1 Premier League success against Fulham. In that game, Manchester City had 63% possession and 12 shots on goal with nine on target. The Citizens have been in excellent form, which propelled them to the pole position in the title race. They managed to build on a victory over the Gunners and create a one-point advantage with a game in hand. Man City fans hope that their team will continue in the same fashion for the remainder of the campaign. The Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola will be happy not to have any fitness concerns to speak of ahead of this game owing to a fully injury-free squad to choose from.

Having been beaten in their last game against Crystal Palace in the Premier League competition, West Ham United will be hoping to turn things around. In that match, West Ham United had 40% possession and eight shots on goal, with four on target. Although they managed to find the back of the opponent’s net three times in that game, the Hammers failed to stay undefeated. It was their second straight defeat, and West Ham is still not safe from the relegation battle. Now they head to a tough road match, and their chances of picking up valuable points are slim. With a completely injury-free group to choose from, West Ham United boss David Moyes has no fitness concerns to report coming into this match.

Full-Time Winner Odds & Prediction                                                                            

Now that the Citizens have taken over the top spot, we don’t think teams like West Ham can stop them. Therefore, Manchester City should celebrate another comfortable victory at Etihad Stadium.

Goals Market Prediction

Man City has scored at least three goals at home six times in a row. We think the hosts will drive this game over a 2.5 margin to continue this run.

Manchester City AH -1.5 @ 1.65

Over 3 FT @ 1.65

Correct score 4:0 @ 11.50

Brighton vs Manchester United

Following on from their previous result, Brighton will be hoping for more of the same after a 6-0 Premier League victory vs Wolverhampton Wanderers. In that match, Brighton & Hove Albion had 57% possession and 22 shots on goal with eight on target. It was a perfect display that kept Brighton in the battle for continental qualification at the end of the season. They are currently sitting in 8th place on the standings, but the fifth-placed Liverpool is only four points ahead. Brighton wants o keep a high level of their performance to earn a Europa League ticket. Jeremy Sarmiento (Metatarsal Fracture) and Tariq Lamptey (Knee Injury) will not be able to play for Brighton boss Roberto De Zerbi.

Manchester United will come into this match on the back of a 1-0 Premier League win against Aston Villa in their last game. In that match, Manchester United had 57% possession and 14 shots on goal with six on target. The Red Devils returned to the winning ways after splitting points with Tottenham and stayed comfortable in 4^th place. With six games to go, including this one, Man Utd's primary goal is to remain in the top-four zone ahead of Liverpool. Manchester United manager Erik ten Haag does not have a full squad to choose from. Raphael Varane (foot injury), Tom Heaton (ankle injury), Alejandro Garnacho (ankle injury), Scott McTominay (unknown injury), Lisandro Martinez (metatarsal fracture), and Donnie van de Beek (knee injury) are those who do not can be considered.

Full-Time Winner Odds & Prediction                                                                            

It is going to be a tight match in which both teams have a chance to get points. This game could be quite similar to their last clash in the FA Cup semi-finals, and we won't be surprised if it ends in another draw.

Goals Market Prediction

Brighton will be motivated after an excellent display in their last match, while Man Utd still has issues with defensive selection. Therefore, we think both teams might be able to score on Thursday evening.

Draw @ 3.85

BTTS Yes @ 1.55

Correct score 1:1 @ 8.00
