Dream TeamIn the spirit of generosity, we’ve compiled some useful stats and facts for each of the relevant fixtures, as well as our own predictions.
Brentford v Chelsea
This has been a bogey fixture for the Blues in recent times.
Mauricio Pochettino’s side lost 2-0 at home to the Bees back in October to make it four meetings in a row without a win.
However, only Burnley and Bournemouth sit below Thomas Frank’s mob in the form table (last six games) at present and their underlying defensive numbers are a cause for concern.
Chelsea continue to deliver a mixed bag; this month they’ve been soundly beaten by Wolves, won away at Aston Villa (no easy feat), beaten Crystal Palace, drawn with Manchester City, lost to Liverpool in the Carabao Cup final, and progressed to the FA Cup quarter-finals via a win over Leeds, not without its hiccups.
The visitors are hard to predict but the fact Brentford lost to a previously beleaguered West Ham last time out nudges us towards an away win.
Our Prediction: 2-1 to Chelsea
RexNottingham Forest v Liverpool
There’s probably no need to overthink this one, it’s 17th against the league leaders after all.
Nuno Espirito Santo’s men are capable of spirited showings on home soil while the Reds are plagued by injuries (Mohamed Salah, Darwin Nunez and Trent Alexander-Arnold remain major doubts) but Jurgen Klopp’s troops have a lot of momentum behind them at the moment.
In the last week alone they’ve lifted a trophy and dispatched one of the better Championship outfits in Southampton; all while giving plenty of minutes to inexperienced youngsters.
The Premier League remains Liverpool’s top priority and it’s hard to see them slipping up on Saturday, although they did come unstuck at the City Ground last season.
Surely lightning won’t strike twice?
Our Prediction: 3-1 to Liverpool
GettyLuton v Aston Villa
The Hatters have conceded ten goals in their last two games, albeit against extremely tough opposition in Liverpool and Man City.
That being said, it was only three weeks ago they lost 3-1 to Sheffield United and so it seems reasonable to expect the likes of Ollie Watkins and Leon Bailey to thrive at Kenilworth Road.
We reckon the home supporters will have something to celebrate because Unai Emery’s men average 1.3 goals conceded per league game in 2023/24 but the visitors should have more than enough firepower.
Our Prediction: 3-1 to Aston Villa
GettyManchester City v Manchester United
Sunday’s main event is surely the pick of the fixtures this weekend.
The Red Devils suffered a reality check against Fulham last weekend without the in-form Rasmus Hojlund in their ranks.
Prior to that upset, their first defeat of 2024, Erik ten Hag’s side had steadily built some momentum but suddenly a trip to the Etihad looks very daunting indeed, not least because Erling Haaland bagged FIVE goals in midweek.
Pep Guardiola’s side were several levels above their neighbours at Old Trafford back in October and the added edge of home advantage could spell seriously bad news for United.
City, Liverpool and Leeds are the only three teams in England’s top four tiers still unbeaten at home this season.
Our Prediction: 3-0 to Man City
RexSheffield United v Arsenal
It’s difficult to envisage anything other than a comfortable away win on Monday night.
The Gunners are the top flight’s most in-form team having won six in a row, scoring 25 goals in the process.
Chris Wilder’s men got a win over Luton earlier in the month but it fell between a pair of demoralising 5-0 defeats.
The Blades have mustered just 13 points since promotion – it could get messy for them up against a free-flowing side that includes Bukayo Saka, Martin Odegaard, etc.
Our Prediction: 4-0 to Arsenal
