Check out our predictions for Matchweek 19 below…
Luton v Newcastle
The Hatters most recent outing against Bournemouth was abandoned due to Tom Lockyer’s medical emergency so we can only go off their previous three consecutive defeats in terms of recent form.
Although that doesn’t quite tell the full story as they had their moments against Arsenal and Manchester City, two difficult opponents.
However, only Sheffield United and Burnley have conceded more league goals than Luton and same two clubs have a worse attacking record too.
Eddie Howe remains tested by injury setbacks, not to mention the sudden drop in Kieran Trippier’s form, but only Aston Villa and Man City have scored more league goals in 2023/24.
However, it’s worth noting that the Magpies have earned just five points away from St James’ Park.
A 2-1 win for Newcastle is the most-popular prediction among Score Predictor users right now and we’re inclined to agree.
Our Prediction: 2-1 to Newcastle
Nottingham Forest v Bournemouth
Two teams at the opposite end of the form table here.
The Cherries were ranked first among all top-flight clubs for points earned over their last five games prior to their abandoned clash with Luton last weekend.
Conversely, Forest are rock-bottom of the form table having lost five of their last six, a run that prompted Steve Cooper’s departure from the City Ground.
Nuno Espirito Santo has taken the reins and there’s always the possibility of a New Manager Bounce but the more tangible stats favour Bournemouth.
It’s hard to look past the two teams’ contrasting form.
Our Prediction: 3-1 to Bournemouth
Dominic Solanke has enjoyed a prosperous first half of the season[/caption]Tottenham v Everton
Interestingly, Spurs are the only team to have earned more points on the road than the Toffees this season.
Sean Dyche’s men have been particularly impressive this month having won all four of their league games without conceding a goal.
They’ll do very well to extend that record this weekend against a team who commit men forward at every opportunity without fear of being exposed.
This one has all the makings of a competitive affair and we’re backing Everton to come away with something – though they made need Son Heung-min to have an off-day in front goal.
Our Prediction: 1-1 draw
Dyche is doing a fantastic job[/caption]Liverpool v Arsenal
Matchweek 19’s headline fixture is genuine top-of-the-table clash.
28% of users are backing a 2-2 draw at present but it may be the defensive units that come to the fore.
Both sides have conceded 15 league goals to date this term. the joint-fewest, but it’s the Gunners that come out on top when digging into the underlying data – they’ve conceded just 12.7 xG.
Given the Reds’ record at Anfield, Mikel Arteta would probably be content with a draw and the central core of Gabriel, William Saliba and Declan Rice has proven difficult to penetrate.
That being said, the attacking talent on the pitch makes a goalless stalemate unlikely.
Our Prediction: 1-1 draw
Wolves v Chelsea
Right now, this is a mid-table clash that doesn’t inspire much excitement among neutrals.
Hwang Hee-chan and Matheus Cunha offer enough threat on their day but Gary O’Neil’s side have suffered in Pedro Neto’s absence going forward.
Goals have flowed more freely for the Blues in recent weeks but they remain frustratingly inconsistent across the board.
Both these sides are in the bottom-half of the form table and festive fatigue sets in then it could be a tough watch on Christmas Eve.
How about this, Christopher Nkunku scores the winner in an otherwise dull match-up?
Our Prediction: 1-0 to Chelsea
