Brighton vs Crystal Palace (21:00): Both teams there’s certainly no love lost between these two current Premier League (PL) clubs. The ‘Seagulls’ rescued a point in stoppage time in the reverse ‘M23 derby’ this season (1-1) and should there be a result-changing goal scored on or beyond the 90th minute in this mid-table clash, it would be the first fixture in PL history for it to have happened in four successive games.

Fixture for Saturday 15th January.

Man City And Chelsea Clashes On Matchday 22 Of The EPL

Manchester City vs Chelsea (13:30): The Cityzens lost the champions league to Chelsea last season and are since not rentless in defeating Chelsea. The Blues has won 4 of their lat encounter with Man City. With five straight home league wins under their belt, fans of the ‘Cityzens’ will expect a good show, particularly as their last two PL matches at the Etihad produced an eye-watering 16 goals! Although the side scoring first has subsequently won the last ten PL affairs here that saw goals (City: W9, L1)

Prediction:1-1

Newcastle vs Watford (16:00): Newcastle United have moved quickly in the winter transfer window, signing experienced names such as Kieran Trippier and Chris Wood. Yet last weekend’s embarrassing 1-0 FA Cup home defeat to lower league Cambridge United was a reminder that there’s still big flaws in this squad. Hornets head to the North East on the back of six straight PL defeats, and a seventh would see them leapfrogged by Newcastle and sucked into the relegation zone.

Prediction:3-1

Norwich vs Everton (16:00): Norwich City’s midweek 2-0 defeat to West Ham saw their Premier League (PL) winless run stretched to eight matches (D2, L6). ‘Toffees’ fans witnessed a league away win (D2, L5 since) although a point at Chelsea before Christmas was a creditable result for under pressure boss Rafa Benítez, who had to watch on as a ‘Benítez get out of our club’ banner was unfurled by some fans in last weekend’s cup clash.

Prediction:1-3

Wolves vs Southampton (16:00): Wolverhampton Wanderers remain in contention for a European finish and they’ll feel confident of moving one step closer to that goal if they can record a fifth straight unbeaten outing in this matchup (W3, D1). The ‘Saints’ backline have been more like sinners on their travels though, evidenced by conceding at least twice in 13 of their last 15 PL away games.

Prediction: 1-2

Aston Villa vs Manchester Utd (18:30): Villa has an immediate chance to gain revenge on United after Monday’s contentious 1-0 FA Cup defeat at Old Trafford in which they had two goals disallowed.Manchester United’s results – if not their performances – are doing the talking. With one defeat in ten competitive matches (W6, D3), they’re well placed to not only push for European qualification but to extend their run of not losing a PL H2H here since 1995 (W15, D7)! Another victory in this clash would also see the visitors make history by becoming the first PL side to win 300 away matches.

Prediction: 2-3

Fixtures and predictions for Sunday 16th January 2021.

Liverpool vs Brentford (15:00): Reds title hopes have dwindled massively, as a return of no wins in their last three Premier League (PL) matches (D2, L1) has left Jürgen Klopp’s men needing to make up a double-digit gap on league leaders Manchester City. Liverpool have only lost one of the last 17 matches when hosting a team at Anfield for the first time in the PL (W11, D5).

Prediction: 2-1

Westham vs Leeds United (15:00): Hammer’s manager David Moyes expressed about fixture congestion seem to be misplaced, as his side have made a perfect start to 2022 (W3). Leeds face consecutive trips to the London Stadium after falling to a 2-0 defeat here last time out in a disappointing FA Cup exit. As well as revenge, Leeds seek their first set of back-to-back league wins this term, following a confidence-boosting 3-1 win over Burnley in their last league outing.

Prediction: 3-2

Tottenham vs Arsenal

Tottenham vs Arsenal (17:30):  Tottenham’s aspiration for one in May comprises several layers. Naturally, the Lilywhites’ two games in hand over North London rivals Arsenal provide the bedrock of their dreams for now, but they will immediately leapfrog their mortal enemies with victory in the 205th all-time H2H meeting.

Prediction: 0-0
