Arsenal v Crystal Palace
The Gunners wobbled before their mini break but we’re backing them to come back refreshed.
And we’re inclined to predict a clean sheet for the hosts because a) only Liverpool have conceded fewer league goals this season, and b) only Sheffield United and Burnley have scored fewer goals than the Eagles.
Roy Hodgson’s side are even less likely to pose a threat without Michael Olise in their ranks – the stylish winger is expected to be sidelined with injury a little while longer.
Palace have won just one of their last 11 games in all competitions – a victory over a desperately out-of-form Brentford – and the fans have been vocal in their discontent of late.
It feels like a routine home win for the stronger team, despite Arsenal’s disappointing results since Christmas.
Our Prediction: 2-0 to Arsenal
Brentford v Nottingham Forest
These two sides are separated by just point as it stands but there’s daylight between them in the form table.
Forest are benefiting from Nuno Espirito Santo’s New Manager Bounce having beaten Newcastle and Manchester United in their last two league games.
Conversely, the Bees are without a win since December 2nd and consequently find themselves bottom of the form table.
However, Thomas Frank will be able to play his trump card this Saturday in the form of Ivan Toney, who is available again having served his lengthy suspension.
Brentford have won only three of their ten home games in the top flight this term while Forest have won just twice on the road.
Our Prediction: 2-2 draw
Will Bowen play?[/caption]Sheffield United v West Ham
On the surface, this is a meeting between a side destined for relegation against a team currently in the top six.
However, the Hammers’ strength in depth is being tested with Mohammed Kudus at AFCON and Lucas Paqueta sidelined with injury.
The final member of their impressive front three, Jarrod Bowen, is nursing an ankle problem but it’s said he may recover in time to play some part against the Blades.
David Moyes’ side drew 0-0 with Brighton last time out in the league and have since fallen to Bristol City in the FA Cup.
That being said, it’s hard to ignore the fact Sheffield United have mustered just nine points since promotion and currently have a goal difference of -34!
Our Prediction: 2-1 to West Ham
Bournemouth v Liverpool
The Reds beat the Cherries 9-0 last season but that was at Anfield and a lot has changed since then.
At present, both are among the Premier League’s most in-form sides with Andoni Iraola’s troops having won four in a row before they lost to Tottenham in their most recent league outing.
Jurgen Klopp’s men have scored 17 league goals away from home compared to 26 at Anfield and they will be without key players Mohamed Salah and Trent Alexander-Arnold on Sunday.
And yet, an away win still feels most likely as the visitors will still be able to field a starting line-up full of firepower.
Our Prediction: 2-1 to Liverpool
Entertainment guaranteed[/caption]Brighton v Wolves
Monday night’s match-up could be a fun one.
The Seagulls have only registered one clean sheet in domestic football this season but they average over two goals a game on home soil while Wolves come in undefeated in five (all comps) having won their last three consecutive league games.
In fact, only Liverpool, Man City and Bournemouth have taken more points from their last five top-flight fixtures than Gary O’Neil’s side.
And given Brighton have been involved in more draws than any other team in the league this season…
Our Prediction: 2-2 draw
