On Saturday, 30th March, as part of the 30th round of the Premier League, Sheffield United will host Fulham on their turf. Three weeks ago, "the Blades" nobly held Bournemouth to a 2:2 draw on the opponent's field, while "The Cottagers" tore Tottenham to shreds at their home ground with a 3:0 winning score. Venue This match will take place in Sheffield at the Brammel Lane Stadium. Sheffield United This season, "Sheffield United" finds itself in a very precarious situation, occupying the bottom spot of the Premier league's table and holding just 14 points in 28 matches. For the team, avoiding relegation will be a challenging feat (they are 8 points adrift from Luton, settled at the 17th spot). Following their victory over the "Hatters" with a 1:3 score, the red and black team lost consecutively to "Brighton" (0:5), "Wolverhampton" (1:0), and "Arsenal" (0:6), before managing a draw against "Bournemouth" (2:2). The Blades led 2:0 with goals by Gustavo Hamer and Jack Robinson, even as Dango Wattara narrowed the lead and Enes Unal restored parity. The team has registered 24 goals and conceded 74 the worst record in the league this season. Moreover, Sheffield has, at home, set a dubious record for the English league, having conceded at least five goals in each of their last four matches at Brammel Lane across all tournaments! Sheffield United will be without their primary striker Archer, defenders Bashem and Egan, and Norrington-Davis, Lowe, Slimani, Brewster, and Jebbison. On the flip side, central defender Mason Holgate, who joined the club this winter, has served his suspension and will be back in the starting line-up. Up front, we are certain to see Chilean Brereton Dias (2 goals in 4 matches), who played against the French national team during the international break. All in all, team coach Chris Wilder is unlikely to make significant changes to the starting line-up compared to the last round, although Vinisius Sousa may edge out Tom Davis. Fulham Currently, Fulham is placed 12th in the Premier League and is likely to end the season without any ambitious objectives. Despite this, the Londoners still remain a tough nut to crack for any rival as they have managed to win 4 out of their last 6 championship games, losing on only two occasions. Notably, towards the end of February, they beat Manchester United at Old Trafford with a score of 1:2. After a loss to Wolverhampton (2:1), they thrashed "ottenham at home (3:0) thanks to a brace from Rodrigo Munis his sixth and seventh goals in the last eight Premier League rounds and a goal from Sasha Lukic. Nevertheless, it is important to note that the Marco Silva-managed team has clinched only one victory in their previous 13 away duels, accumulating 10 points in 14 matches the third-worst record in the league. The coaching staff of the London club can count on the optimal team composition this weekend, as Mexican Raul Jimenez (5 goals in 20 matches) made his return in the last round. During his absence, Brazilian forward Rodrigo Munis took full advantage of the opportunity and is expected to retain his spot in the starting eleven this weekend. Playmaker Andreas Pereira (1 goal and 6 assists) was called up to the Brazilian national team during the international break and will reappear in the centre of the field, whilst Lukic will compete with Tom Cairney and Harrison Reid for the right to accompany Joao Palhinha in midfield. Head-to Head This season, "Sheffield United" lost 3:1 at the Craven Cottage. A victory at the Brammel Lane this weekend will allow "Fulham" to achieve a double over "the Blades" in the same season for the first time in their history. Prediction for the Sheffield United - Fulham match The first international break of 2024 has undoubtedly been beneficial for Sheffield, whereas Fulham managed to maintain their excellent form in March. Nevertheless, the recent home failures of "the Blades" are a matter of enormous concern, and their defensive problems haven't disappeared either. I can't see the red and blacks taking any points from the far more skillful "Cottagers".

On Saturday, 30th March, within the framework of the 30th round of the EPL, Tottenham Hotspur will host Luton Town on their home turf. Ange Postecoglou's mentees showcased one of the worst results of the season two weeks ago, conceding to Fulham 3:0, whilst the "Hatters" managed to wrestle a 1:1 draw against Nottingham Forest. Predicted Line-ups Tottenham: Vicario; Porro, Romero, Van de Ven, Udogi; Sarr, Bentancur; Kulusevski, Maddison, Son; Richarlison. Luton Town: Kaminski; Hashioka, Mengi, Berk; Kabore, Barkley, Berry, Townsend; Chong, Clark; Morris. Tottenham Aiming for a return to the Champions League, Tottenham currently sits at 5th place in the Premier League table, trailing the leading quartet by 3 points with a game in hand. Ange Postecoglou arrived at the London-based club last summer and brought smiles back to the fans' faces: under his guidance, the Londoners bagged 5 out of the last 9 games, settling for a draw twice and conceding defeat on 2 occasions. Following impressive victories over Crystal Palace (3:1) and Aston Villa (0:4), the Spurs suffered a devastating defeat at the hands of Fulham just before the international break (3:0). Rodrigo Muniz's double and a goal condemned the Whites to their seventh Premier League defeat of the season, which also ended their impressive 39-match goal-scoring streak. Despite this, the hosts have been highly convincing at home, claiming six victories in their last seven home fixtures. Tottenham's squad is still missing key defender Van de Ven. Reserve goalkeeper Forster, alongside long-term absentees Sessegnon and Solomon are also in the infirmary. Brazilian Richarlison (10 goals and 3 assists), who recently recovered from a minor injury, was called up to the 'selecao' squad during the break and could take to the field from the onset this weekend; the same applies to team captain Son (14 goals and 8 assists), as well as Kulusevski (6 goals and 3 assists) and Maddison (4 goals and 7 assists). With a long bench, Postecoglou is free to rotate his squad during the match, with winger Johnson (4 goals and 6 assists) and winter recruit Werner (2 goals and 2 assists in 8 games) available to reinforce play from the substitution bench. Luton Town Luton Town, which returned to the elite division last summer, currently occupies the 17th position in the Premier League table, only one point away from the relegation zone. The "Hatters" took advantage of the recent penalty points imposed on Nottingham Forest, escaping from the trio of underdogs. However, the visitor's current form raises serious concerns: the team has not won a match in the last 8 rounds (3 draws and 5 losses). After conceding to Bournemouth following a catastrophic second half (4:3), the sky blues shared points with Nottingham Forest at home just before the international break (1:1). The "Foresters" took the lead thanks to a goal from Chris Wood, but Luke Berry scored his debut Premier League goal at the very end of the match. Interesting fact: Luton has scored in 25 of the 29 EPL matches played in this campaign, accumulating 10 points in 14 away duels (fifth worst record in the league). The club's injury list has been overflowing for several months now: on Saturday, key striker Adebayo (top scorer), experienced defenders Osho, Andersen and Bell, midfielder Nakamba, as well as Potts, Johnson and Jacob Brown will all be unavailable. Captain Lockyer, who suffered a heart attack in December last year, will also miss the match against Tottenham, while the participation of Belgian midfielder Lokonga remains uncertain. Midfielder Ross Barkley (4 goals and 3 assists) and striker Morris (8 goals and 4 assists) are expected to start and will be responsible for creativity in the attack. Head-to-head The "Hatters" were defeated at home by Tottenham in October with a score of 0:1, although they practically played the entire time with a numerical advantage. Moreover, the visitors have not known victory over the Spurs since November 1987. Prediction for the Tottenham - Luton Town match Tottenham is determined to make up for their previous-round fiasco in front of their fans, plus, a setback in a home match against an underdog isn't an option: the Londoners are already trailing the champion quartet by three points. Meanwhile, Luton's infirmary is crowded, and the "Hatters" themselves only score an average of 0.6 points in away games this season. I don't expect a sensation here and bet on a Spurs victory with a -1.5 handicap.

On Saturday, 30th of March, as part of the 30th round of the Premier League, Chelsea will host Burnley on their home ground. The Londoners had a fantastic March and have remained unbeaten for four consecutive games, while the visitors settled in the relegation zone and have not yet given up hope of survival. Chelsea Much like last season, Chelsea are having a season unworthy of their ambitions, currently holding 11th position in the Premier League standings. With a deficit of 8 points from the top six, the chances of European qualification through the league are extremely slim. Nevertheless, the Blues have not lost in the last 4 rounds (2 victories and 2 draws) and claimed a home victory against Newcastle three weeks ago, with a score of 3:2. In the League Cup, the Londoners fell to Liverpool in the final at the end of February, while in the FA Cup just before the international break they beat Leicester (4:2) and will meet Manchester City in the semi-finals the decisive blows were made by the substitutes Carney Chukwuemeka and Noni Madueke in stoppage time of the second half. Chelsea have scored in each of the last 11 Premier League matches, and only Luton Town (17) and Man City (13) have a longer goal streak. Mauricio Pochettino still can't count on team captain Reece James, Frenchman Nkunku, long-absent Fofana and midfielders Lavia and Ugbo all are injured. Centre back Colwill, meanwhile, has not recovered from a sprained ankle. Cole Palmer (11 goals and 8 assists) received a call-up to the England squad and is likely to start this Saturday; the same can be said for midfielder Gallagher (2 goals and 5 assists). Senegalese Nicolas Jackson (9 goals and 3 assists) is expected to appear at the front, while Mikhail Mudrick, who distinguished himself in the middle of the week against the Iceland team, will compete with Raheem Sterling and Noni Madueke for the left flank position. Burnley For Vincent Kompany's charges, Burnley's return to the top division has been very tough so far, and they will have to put in considerable effort to avoid relegation. At the moment, the team occupies the 19th position in the Premier League standings, lagging behind the safety of the 17th spot by five points. Prior to the international break, the "Clarets" won against Brentford at home (2:1), and such result was timely as they ended a 10-round winless run (3 draws and 7 losses). Of course, a lot of help came from the ejection in the eighth minute of Sergio Reguilon, whose foul on Vitinho allowed Jacob Bruun Larsen to convert a penalty; David D'atro Fofana sealed the second goal just after the one-hour mark, and Kristoffer Ajer scored only a consolation goal for the "Bees" six minutes before the end of the match. Burnley are second-from-bottom in the Premier League away performance (only 9 points earned in 14 matches). In the visitors' call-ups, experienced Al-Dahil (defender) and Ramsey (midfielder), winger Coleo (1 goal and 1 assist) and midfielder Redmond will be absent. In addition, there is uncertainty regarding the participation of key centre back Bayer. On the other hand, forward Lyle Foster (4 goals and 3 assists) returned for the last round. The attacking duo may again consist of D'atro Fofana (4 goals in 8 matches) and Odobert (3 goals and 2 assists), the latter of whom scored for the France U-21 team during the international break. Head-to-Head The visitors have only beaten Chelsea once in the last 17 Premier League meetings in August 2017 with a 3:2 score. The first round match of the current season ended with a resounding victory for the Londoners (1:4). Prediction for the Chelsea Burnley match Chelsea will be the clear favourites for Saturday's clash, and a potential victory over Burnley should aid the Blues in their quest for a European finish. Mauricio Pochettino's charges were in phenomenal form prior to the international break, while the visitors are struggling massively on the road and have generally been poor against the Blues in recent years. I don't anticipate an upset here and would back the home victory with a -1.5 handicap.

On Saturday, 30th March, as part of the 30th round of the EPL, Newcastle United will host West Ham on their home ground. The Magpies' dream of winning the FA Cup ended with a quarter-final exit from Manchester City two weeks ago, while the Londoners played out a 1:1 draw at home with Aston Villa. Predicted Line-ups Newcastle United: Dubravka; Livramento, Schr, Lascelles, Murphy; Willock, Guimares, Longstaff; Almirn, Isak, Gordon. West Ham: Areola; Coufal, Mavropanos, Zouma, Emerson; Soucek, Phillips; Bowen, Ward-Prowse, Paqueta; Antonio. Newcastle United After returning to the elite of English football last season, Newcastle in the current one is less impressive. At the moment, the Magpies occupy the 10th place in the Premier League, trailing the top six teams by 7 points. As a result, the stripes will probably remain without any European cups at the end of this campaign: the hosts have only won one of their last 4 league games and lost to Chelsea in the last round with a score of 3:2. Just before the international break, Newcastle were also knocked out of the FA Cup quarter-finals by Manchester City (2:0): a precise shot from Bernardo Silva in the 13th minute beat Martin Dubravka, after which Sven Botman unfortunately redirected the ball into his own net. Adding insult to injury, Eddie Howe's team conceded at least twice in seven out of their last nine rounds, only managing to keep a clean sheet once in 2024. The Newcastle line-up is still weakened by injuries to first-choice goalkeeper Pope, defender Trippier and experienced forwards Joelinton, Barnes and Wilson (7 goals). They have been joined in the infirmary by centre-back Sven Botman. Finally, Italian midfielder Tonali continues to serve a lengthy suspension related to his involvement in a sports betting scandal. Winger Gordon (9 goals and 5 assists), who was called up to the England squad during the international break, may start this Saturday, as might Swedish forward Isak (11 goals). Jacob Murphy is set to once again play in the right full-back position, while Brazilian Bruno Guimares will be responsible for creativity in midfield. West Ham Currently 7th in the Premier League and leading their upcoming opponents by 4 points, West Ham remain in the race for the European cups zone. After a string of unsuccessful results, the Hammers have redeemed themselves in the eyes of supporters, as evidenced by their current run of four matches without defeat. First, the visitors thrashed Brentford (4:2) and Everton (1:3), then they shared the points with Burnley (2:2) and Aston Villa in the last round (1:1): Michaĭl Antonio's tidy header was answered by a goal by Nicol Zaniolo 11 minutes from the end of regular time. In the Europa League, the capital team easily defeated Freiburg (5:1 on aggregate) and will face Bayer Leverkusen in the quarter-finals. However, in four of their last six away games in all competitions, David Moyes's men have failed to succeed... Substitute winger Maxwel Cornet will miss this weekend due to injury, while holding midfielder Alvarez is suspended due to an accumulation of yellow cards. From the first minutes on the pitch, Lucas Paqueta (3 goals and 5 assists), Kudus (6 goals and 3 assists) and Bowen (14 goals and 3 assists) are likely to appear, with central forward Antonio (3 goals and 2 assists) reprising his role at the spearhead of the attack. Calvin Phillips and James Ward-Prowse should get a chance to return to the visitors' midfield, while French goalie Areola will continue to guard the goal. Head-to-Head In their last four Premier League matches against Newcastle, the visitors were unable to win. In October, it took an intervention from Mohammed Kudus in the 89th minute to salvage a 2:2 draw. Prediction for Newcastle - West Ham match The international break has come at just the right time for Newcastle, who looked rather flat after their FA Cup fiasco. Howe's men have no choice but to return to their triumphant march at St James Park - otherwise their chances of making it to the European cups will finally evaporate. West Ham are struggling with performances away from home, and the team's main holding midfielder Alvarez is suspended. I'll take a gamble on a home victory for the Magpies.

Today as part of the 29th round of the Premier League, West Ham will be hosting Aston Villa at their home ground. Both teams secured resounding victories in the European competitions last Thursday: the 'Hammers' dealt with 'Freiburg' in the Europa League, while Unai Emery's proteges sailed past 'Ajax' in the Conference League. Predicted Line-ups West Ham: Areola; Coufal, Zouma, Mavropanos, Emerson; Alvarez, Ward-Prowse; Kudus, Paqueta, Bowen; Ings.Aston Villa: Martinez; Cash, Konsa, Lenglet, Digne; Rodgers, Tielemans, Luiz, Bailey; Diabi, Duran. West Ham Holding the 7th position in the Premier League table and trailing the top six by 4 points, West Ham hopes to finish in the European cups zone this season. The London club recently went through a rough patch, spending six rounds without a win in the championship (three draws and three defeats). However, in recent weeks, the hosts' results have improved: they defeated both Brentford (4:2) and Everton (1:3). Last weekend, David Moyes's lads couldn't get the better of relegation-threatened Burnley (2:2), but this Thursday, they advanced to the quarter-finals of the Europa League, thrashing Freiburg 5:0, thanks to Mohammed Kudus's two strikes, goals from Lucas Paqueta, Jarrod Bowen, and Aaron Cresswell. Thus, West Ham netted 11 goals in three recent matches at London Stadium, and the sole defeat in the past 14 home games was a 0:6 debacle against Arsenal. The hosts will still be without winger Maxwell Corne, who is in the infirmary. Additionally, there's doubt about left-back Emerson's participation. Clearly, the London team's attack will be led by Brazilian playmaker Lucas Paqueta (3 goals and 5 assists) this Sunday; he'll be assisted on the flanks by Kudus (6 goals, 3 assists) and Bowen (14 goals, 3 assists). The limited recovery time after the Europa League game should benefit Ben Johnson, Nayef Aguerd, Danny Ings, and Calvin Phillips, though the latter was left out of the England squad by Gareth Southgate, who admitted the midfielder simply hasn't been good enough recently. Aston Villa Aston Villa has impressed observers this season and is entering the battle for a place in the next season's Champions League. The Birmingham squad currently sits fourth in the Premier League table, having a game in hand and being 2 points ahead of fifth-placed Tottenham. Last weekend, Unai Emery's wards fell apart at home against Spurs (0:4), thereby breaking a streak of three consecutive wins (over Fulham, Nottingham Forest, and Luton Town). Last week, Aston Villa thrashed Ajax(4:0), advancing to the quarter-finals of the Conference League. Before Ollie Watkins was substituted due to injury, he had opened the scoring in the first half. Leon Bailey, Ikhona Duran, and Moussa Diaby, who was just called up to the French squad for the first time in 12 months, also scored. For the guests, the jaunt to the capital will be backed by three wins in their last three Premier League away games, and they remain unbeaten on the road in all competitions in 2022. Aston Villas captain Mings, midfielders Kamara and Buendia will all miss out due to injuries once again. In addition, questions arise about the fitness of midfielder Ramsey and defensive midfielder McGinn will be suspended due to a red card he received last weekend. Good news though: Ezri Konsa is back in action after suspension, as is Nicolo Zaniolo. Aston Villa's attacking power lies chiefly with Ollie Watkins (16 goals, 10 assists), assisted on the flanks by Leon Bailey (8 goals, 8 assists) and Moussa Diaby (4 goals, 5 assists). Head-to-Head A 4:1 victory over West Ham in October put an end to a 10-match streak without a win against the Londoners for Villa. Predictions for the West Ham - Aston Villa match Unai Emerys men look to cement their place in the top four, and they can't afford to stumble this weekend - Tottenham trails by merely two points with a game in hand. The hosts are also motivated by the battle for a European spot, and they've suffered just one defeat at home since the end of October. I'll risk backing a draw.

Today as part of the 29th Premier League round, Fulham FC are set to host Tottenham Hotspur. Last weekend, the Spurs thrashed Aston Villa 4:0, while Fulham bowed to Wolverhampton Wanderers 2:1 having no substantial tournament motivation. Predicted lineups Fulham: Leno; Castagne, Adarabioyo, Bassi, Robinson; Reed, Palhinha; Wilson, Pereira, Iwobi; Muniz.Tottenham: Vicario; Porro, Romero, Dragusin, Udoh; Sarr, Bissouma; Kulusevski, Maddison, Johnson; Son. Fulham At the lower half of the Premier League leaderboard, Fulham currently holds the 12th place and has a full focus away from the survival fight. As a result, Fulham are likely to finish the season without any significant tournament tasks. Nonetheless, the "Cottagers" continue to perform well: in the last 7 rounds, the hosts lost only twice, earning 3 victories. After triumphing over Manchester United (1:2) and Brighton (3:0), Fulham faced a setback from Wolverhampton with a score of 2:1 last weekend. A goal from Rayan Ait-Nouri from close range and an ill-fated ball transport to his own goal by Tom Cairney gave Wolves a hefty lead in the mid-second half. Alex Iwobi only added to the trouble by scoring late into the game. It's worth noting that Marco Silva's charges have collected 25 out of 35 points in the current campaign at Craven Cottage, dominating in the last two London derbies against West Ham (5:0) and Arsenal (2:1) Due to a thigh injury sustained in late January, Mexican striker Raul Jimenez (5 goals) is still recovering, however, there are no other personnel losses in the home camp. Nigerian winger Iwobi (5 goals), who had a scoring weekend, is expected to return to the starting lineup this Saturday, as is Brazilian striker Rodrigo Muniz (5 goals and 1 assist in the last 6 matches). Albanian Broya, on loan from Chelsea, may enhance the offensive power as a second-half substitute. Joao Palhinha will replace Sasa Lukic in midfield, and Harrison Reed will boost the solidity of the hosts' defensive zone. Tottenham Aiming for a Champions League spot, Tottenham Hotspur is in the thick of action and currently ranks 5th in the Premier League table, trailing the top four by two points. After five rounds without a loss, Spurs suffered a sensational home defeat to Wolves 1:2, followed by victories over Crystal Palace (3:1) and last weekend's thrashing of direct contenders for the top-4, Aston Villa (0:4). James Maddison and Brennan Johnson's precise shots preceded John McGinn's deserved red card, virtually obliterating Villa's comeback hopes. Son Heung-Min and Timo Werner netted their goals late into the game. Fans will be pleased that Tottenham have scored multiple goals in each of their last six Premier League away matches, starting from early December. Overall, in 13 away matches, Spurs garnered 23 points (the league's 5th best rating), scored 30 and conceded 20 goals. Tottenham's squad still lacks Richarlison, Sessegnon, and Solomon, as well as substitute goalkeeper Forster. The win over Aston Villa was partially overshadowed by yet another injury to centre-back Micky van de Ven, who was replaced due to a knee problem early in the second half, the Dutchman is expected to miss Saturday's clash. Winter acquisition Timo Werner has been in terrific form since his transfer, the German has netted two goals in the last two matches, scoring one of them against Aston Villa as a substitute. Maddison (4 goals and 7 assists), Johnson (4 goals and 6 assists), and Son (14 goals and 8 assists) are sure to start. They will be assisted on the wing by winger Kulusevski (6 goals and 3 assists). Head-To-Head Tottenham celebrated a home victory over Fulham with a score of 2:0 earlier this season - their fourth consecutive win over Marco Silva's side. However, Fulham knocked Spurs out of the 1/32 final of the country's Cup in August. Match preiction Fulham - Tottenham Despite the demoralising defeat against Wolverhampton, the "Cottagers' quality should not be written off a failure to capitalise on decisive moments let down the home side. Remember that Fulham, under Marco Silva, excel at home and have already upstaged Spurs at Craven Cottage this season (in the FA Cup). I predict that the hosts will make up ground in front of home fans and at least avoid a loss on Saturday.

On Saturday, 16th March, as part of the 29th round of the Premier League, Luton Town will host Nottingham Forest. In the middle of the week, Rob Edwards' charges lost to Bournemouth in a dramatic shootout (4:3), while Nuno Espirito's squad suffered a defeat away against Brighton last weekend 1:0. Luton Town Having returned to the elite division last summer, Luton Town currently sits in 18th place in the Premier League table, just three points above the bottom. After failing to win any of their last 7 matches, the Hatters have found themselves in a difficult situation: following 4 consecutive defeats the hosts managed to scrape a point against Crystal Palace last weekend (1:1). Unfortunately, this week they suffered another defeat in Bournemouth, having had a catastrophically poor second half at the Vitality stadium (4:3). The Blues went into half-time with a three-goal lead thanks to Ross Barkley, Chiedozie Ogbene and Tahith Chong's strikes, but the Cherries succeeded in pulling off a comeback last realised in the Premier League 20 years ago: precise strikes from Dominic Solanke, Ilya Zabarnyi and a double from Antoine Semenyo allowed the southerners to create ecstasy among their home crowd. The team currently boasts a run of 16 straight matches with a goal in the elite division the best record for a league newbie since Newcastle United in the 1993-94 campaign. This Saturday, several key Luton players will be missing due to injuries, including forward Adebayo, Andersen and Bell (defenders), Lokonga and Nakamba (midfielders), as well as Potts, Johnson and Jacob Brown. Captain Lockyer is also unavailable after suffering a cardiac arrest in mid-December and centre back Osho's participation remains doubtful. Barkley, Ogbene and Chong, all who netted last week, are expected to start with the latter two anticipated to support Morris upfront (8 goals and 4 assists). Nottingham Forest Nottingham Forest is also in a survival battle and presently sits in 17th place in the Premier League table, leading the upcoming competitor by 3 points. Nuno Espirito's team has been in crisis in recent weeks: only one victory has been harvested from their last eight matches, along with one draw and six defeats. Following a win over West Ham (2:0), the 'iron workers' succumbed to Aston Villa (4:2), Liverpool (0:1) and Brighton last weekend (1:0). An own goal by Andrew Omobamidele decided the outcome of the Amex game in favour of the 'seagulls', leaving Santo livid after Jakub Moder escaped a red card for a rough tackle on Neco Williams. The red-and-whites are in danger of becoming goalless in three successive Premier League matches for the first time since 1999; moreover, they have struggled against Premier League newcomers, only clinching a victory in one of their last 18 encounters. Nottingham Forest's left back, Nuno Tavares, will once again be forced to sit out this weekend's match due to injury. Aina's participation and that of winter newcomer Reyna is also in doubt, with the latter having minimal game time since his arrival. On a positive note: Chris Wood (8 goals) is back in action, winning the competition in attack against Nigerian Avoniyi (6 goals and 3 assists). Anthony Elanga and Callum Hudson-Odoi were both on the bench last match against Brighton, but now both are expected to push Divock Origi for a starting spot. Omobamidele and Murillo will shore up the Forest's central defence, with Sels in goal. Head-to-Head In October, a 2:2 draw with Luton at City Ground extended the Red and Whites' winless run against the Hatters to five matches. Match prediction: Luton Town - Nottingham Forest No matter how poorly Forest have been attacking lately, a well-rested Avoniyi, Elanga, and Hudson-Odoi should be able to break through the Hatters' problematic defence. Luton, following a relatively successful autumn run, are now in decline, and an overflowing infirmary is certainly not conducive to the Premier League newbie's performance enhancement. The visitors are a far more experienced team, so my wager is on their victory with a 0 handicap.

On Saturday, 16 March, in the frame of the 29th round of the EPL, "Burnley" will host "Brentford". The past weekend saw the Clarets lose a two-goal advantage in their match against "West Ham" (2:2), while the Bees conceded a dramatic loss at the Emirates to Arsenal (2:1). Projected Line-ups Burnley:Trafford; Assignon, O'Shea, Esteve, Taylor; Vitinho, Berge, Cullen, Odobert; Datro Fofana, Bruun Larsen."Brentford":Flekken; Zanka, Collins, Ajer; Roerslev, Janelt, Norgaard, Onyeka, Reguilon; Wissa, Toney. Burnley 19th in the league table of the Premier League and a massive 14 points following 28 rounds, Burnley struggle to secure their spot in the elite division. They hold no illusions about their odds to stay afloat (trailing 17th place Nottingham Forest by 10 points). Under the tutelage of Vincent Kompany, the team appears demoralised, without a win in the last 10 matches (3 draws and 7 defeats). After a streak of 4 losses, the Lancashire pulled off a draw with "West Ham" (2:2). This draw was only the second instance in Burnley's history where they couldn't pull off a victory in a Premier League match, having had a two-goal lead at one point. It's essential to note that Kompanys charges are the absolute worst Premier League team when playing on their home turf: with only 5 points secured in 14 rounds, having scored 13 goals and conceded 34. "Brentford" "Brentford" currently stands 15th in the Premier League standings, just five points clear of the relegation zone. Thomas Frank's squad is precariously placed on the brink of relegation, and their current form understandably raises concerns. In the last eight rounds, they conceded only 6 goals, claimed a single victory and managed to pull off a draw once. It is, however, worth noting that the fixture list hasn't been kind to the "Bees," pitting them against the leagues heavyweights. After a home draw against "Chelsea" (2:2), "Brentford" last weekend conceded a 2:1 loss at the Emirates to "Arsenal". Yoan Wissa capitalised on Ramsdale's mistake and fired into the far corner after a goal from Declan Rice, but Kai Havertz headed the winning goal on the 86th minute. The Londoners have conceded 13 goals in their last five league matches, gathering only 10 points in their 14 away games (the 15th indicator in the division). Head-to-head The "Bees" haven't tasted victory on Burnleys turf since the 1996-97 season, though they won the last two home encounters against the "Clarets" with an aggregate score of 5:0. Match Prediction for Burnley vs Brentford Despite all the failures Burnley have faced in front of their supporters, the hosts can realistically hope to collect points on Saturday, as "Brentford" has lost 10 consecutive away matches! Given the league status of the "Clarets", they have no choice but to press high and try to score against this embattled capital squad. With the "Bees" grappling with a slew of injuries and their defence leaving much to be desired my wager is on a double chance for Kompany's charges. Total Goals Prediction With Fofana's arrival, "Burnley" has started to create more danger at their opponents' goal, whereas "Brentford" has conceded from anyone and everyone in recent weeks. Im taking a gamble on the home team to score over 1 goal. Corner Prediction The hosts will try to seize the initiative at least occasionally the support of the home stands obliges. I'm backing the "Clarets" ITU (individual total under) 3.5 corners. Yellow Cards Prediction In the first leg, both teams racked up a total of 9 yellow cards, consequently, I'm predicting a total card count of over 3.5. Score Prediction I'm betting on a precise score of 2:1 in favour of "Burnley".

On Wednesday, 13 March, within the framework of the rescheduled 17th round of the Premier League, Bournemouth shall host Luton Town on their home turf. The meeting was halted shortly after the hour-mark with the score at 1:1 due to a cardiac arrest of a "Hatters" player, and a few days later the league's management announced that the match would be replayed. Predicted Line-ups Bournemouth:Neto; Smith, Mepham, Zabarnyi, Kerkez; Christie, Cook; Ouattara, Kluivert, Sinisterra; Solanke.Luton Town:Kaminski; Hashioka, Burke, Osho; Kabore, Clark, Barkley, Doughty; Ogbene, Morris, Chong. Stadium The clash will be hosted in Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium. Bournemouth Standing 12th in the Premier League table, 11 points clear of the relegation zone, Bournemouth aims to spend the rest of the season away from the survival scrap. Yet, for several weeks now, the Cherries have been regressing: following 7 rounds without wins (3 draws and 4 defeats), the red-and-blacks triumphed 2:0 over a sinking Burnley. Last weekend, Andoni Iraola's charges failed to please their home crowd, drawing 2:2 against a crisis-ridden Sheffield United. In general, the schedule is favourable for the hosts: after Luton, they will face Everton and Crystal Palace before meeting the Hatters again at Kenilworth Road. Meanwhile, the Cherries have been struggling at home: in 13 home matches they've accrued only 14 points (16th in the division), scored 14 goals and conceded 20. Luton Town Having returned to the elite division last summer, Luton Town is understandably fighting for survival. At the moment, the team occupies the 18th place in the Premier League table, having a game in hand and trailing the 17th-placed Nottingham Forest by 3 points. From the end of December to the beginning of February, Rob Edwards' squad was in good form, steadily accumulating points. However, over the last weeks, a downturn was obvious. The visitors suffered four consecutive defeats (against Sheffield United, Manchester United, Liverpool, and Aston Villa), thereafter securing a draw against Crystal Palace last weekend (1:1), thanks to the goal from Cauley Woodrow. Critically, Luton has known no victory for seven consecutive rounds and has conceded a dizzying 23 goals during this period, which is even more surprising considering that they didn't lose in the first six matches of 2024. Guests have also had their struggles away from home: in 13 away matches only 10 points have been accrued (16th in the division), 17 goals have been scored and 30 conceded. Head-to-Head In mid-December at Vitality Stadium, the teams' head-to-head encounter was interrupted after Lockyer had to receive life-saving assistance on the pitch due to a cardiac arrest. Match Prediction: Bournemouth vs Luton Town If Bournemouth doesn't have any tournament motivation, Luton, on the other hand, needs to fight for every point against anyone. However, the Hatters have been in a crisis recently, failing to win for seven consecutive rounds. Plus, in 17 recent matches across all competitions, the visitors have lost with a difference of more than one goal only thrice - it's reasonable to bet on Luton's handicap of 1.5. Goals Prediction Bournemouth concedes an average of 1.5 goals per match at home, while Luton is in desperate need of points to secure survival. I predict that Luton's individual total will exceed 1 goal. Corners Prediction As paradoxical as it may sound, Luton is one of the Premier League's most generous teams in terms of corners (on average, 5.7 per game). My bet is on Luton's individual total for this component to exceed 3.5. Yellow Cards Prediction Neither of the teams is known for their rough play (only 2 yellow cards per match, on average). My bet is on fewer than 4.5 total warnings. Score Prediction I predict the exact score to be 1:2 in favour of Luton.

On Monday, 11th March, as part of the 28th round of the EPL, Chelsea will host Newcastle United at their home ground. Last weekend, the Blues snatched a draw from Brentford (2:2), while Eddie Howe's team comfortably dealt with Wolverhampton (3:0) solidifying their position in the top ten. Predicted Line-ups Chelsea: Petrovic; Gusto, Disasi, Chaloba, Kukurella; Kaisedo, Fernandez; Sterling, Palmer, Mudrik; Jackson. Newcastle: Dubravka; Livramento, Scher, Botman, Bern; Willock, Gimaress, Longstaff; Murphy, Isak, Gordon. Chelsea Chelsea, just like a year ago, is not living up to the fans' expectations this season. At present, the Londoners are in a dismal 11th place in the Premier League table and are 14 points adrift of the European zone. After two losses in a row, the Blues claimed an away victory over Crystal Palace (3:1), followed by a draw against Manchester City (1:1). Last weekend, Mauricio Pochettino's protgs managed to snatch a draw from Brentford (2:2): the "Bees" were leading 2:1 thanks to efforts of Mads Roerslev and a stunning acrobatic strike by Yoan Wissa, yet Axel Disasi restored parity on the scoreboard towards the match's end. The fans' anger and calls to replace Pochettino with Jose Mourinho, who recently vacated Roma's managerial position, led the Argentinian admitting he does not "feel the support" from the fans. Nonetheless, the disgruntled fans are understandable: Chelsea is only 12th in the EPL table in terms of points earned at Stamford Bridge (18 in 12 matches). From the start of the season, the Blues experienced serious squad issues due to injuries. Captain Reece James, midfielder Nkunku, French defenders Fofana and Badiashile, as well as midfielders Lavia, Ugbo, and Chukwuemeka, were all unavailable. Ben Chilwell and Levi Colwill also added to the injury list with knee and toe injuries respectively. Cole Palmer (10 goals and 7 assists) is having a fantastic season, proving himself to be the leader of the Londoners' attacks he will likely be partnered again by Nicholas Jackson (8 goals and 3 assists). Marc Cucurella will play in the left-back position while Conor Gallagher will ensure the sturdiness of the midfield. Newcastle United Last year, Newcastle impressed everyone with their performances, something that cannot be said of the current season. At present, the "Magpies" occupy the 9th position in the overall Premier League standings, but they are still hopeful of making it into the European cups. In the past weeks, the "Stripes" have gained momentum and suffered just one defeat in their most recent six rounds, recording three wins. After suffering a crushing 4:1 defeat to Arsenal at the Emirates, Eddie Howe's men comfortably defeated Wolverhampton at home 3:0 last weekend. Even before the break, the "Magpies" took the lead with goals from Alexander Isak and Anthony Gordon, and in the second half, Tino Livramento killed off any suspense in the match. Notably, out of the 40 points they've secured, Newcastle has only managed to garner 11 on the road. The last time the Black and Whites scored a victory in an away EPL match was back in September! In the FA Cup, the residents of St James Park had a tough time getting past Blackburn (1:1, win by penalty shootout) and will face Manchester City in the quarterfinals. Newcastle's squad lacks the presence of main goalkeeper Pope, central midfielder Joelinton, striker Wilson (7 goals), and centre-back Targett. Kieran Trippier is ruled out until the international break due to a calf problem, while Lewis Hall won't be able to face his home club (on loan). The long-term suspension of Italian midfielder Tonali should also be taken into account. Gordon (9 goals and 5 assists) and Isak (11 goals), who made their mark in the last round, logically should be starters, supported by midfielders Gimaraesh and Longstaff. Head-to-Head Newcastle's visit to Stamford Bridge for the December quarterfinal of the EFL Cup ended in a penalty shootout defeat. However, in November of last year, Howe's men thrashed the Londoners 4:1 at St James Park. Prediction for the Chelsea Newcastle match Both teams have been inconsistent in their performances throughout the season, which has resulted in a significant gap from the European zone. Chelsea has not lost a single one of its last six games in all competitions (if we consider the regular time), while the "Magpies" have only lost once in their last seven games. Therefore, I'm inclined to bet on a draw.

Today as part of the 28th tour of the Premier League (PL), West Ham will welcome Burnley to their home ground. On Thursday, the Hammers fell to a 1:0 defeat to Freiburg in the opening match of the Europa League's 1/8 finals, while Vincent Kompany's side were defeated by Bournemouth 2:0 a week earlier. Predicted Line-ups West Ham: Areola; Coufal, Zouma, Mavropanos, Cresswell; Soucek, Phillips; Bowen, Ward-Prowse, Paqueta; Antonio. Burnley: Trafford; Assuncao, O'Shea, Esteve, Taylor; Vitinha, Berge, Brownhill, Odobur; Amdouni, Detro Fofana. West Ham This season, West Ham is vying for a European Cup slot and currently sits 7th in the PL table, falling behind the top six by 2 points. In 2024, the Londoners plunged into a crisis, commencing their season with six league matches without a victory (three draws and three losses). Nonetheless, in the last two tours, the Hammers finally recovered: firstly defeating Brentford 4:2, then overcoming Everton last weekend 3:1. This week, David Moyes' men fell to Freiburg in the first match of the Europa League's 1/8 final with a 1:0 score, with Michal Gregoritsch's goal being the decision-maker in the 81st minute. It is worth noting that the Londoners are having a fairly average performance at home this campaign: only 22 points garnered from 13 home matches (9th best in the division), scoring 22 goals and conceding 19. With Aston Villa, Newcastle and Tottenham on the horizon, the hosts simply can't afford a slip-up this Sunday evening. The West Ham dugout continues to be without injured winger Maxwel Cornet, to which is also added the loss of central defender Ageruda, who missed this week's Europa League match. Emerson Palmieri had to replace Aaron Cresswell due to groin issues during the match in Freiburg, and the ex-Chelsea player is likely to be out for the PL's forthcoming tour. The attacking trio will once again be made up of Paqueta (two goals, five assists), Kudus (six goals, three assists), and Bowen (14 goals, three assists). French goalkeeper Areola is having an excellent season overall and remains a reliable custodian for his team. Burnley Occupying 19th place in the Premier League table and having only collected 13 points from 27 rounds, it seems Burnley has resigned itself to the prospect of being relegated to the Championship. There is an 11-point gap from the safety mark of 17th, and their results aren't exactly impressive: they have gone nine consecutive league matches without a win (two draws and seven losses). The Clarets have suffered four consecutive defeats: from Liverpool (3:1), Arsenal (0:5), Crystal Palace (3:0), and Bournemouth last weekend (0:2). Justin Kluivert scored in the first half, and Antouan Semenyo clinched the match in the closing minutes. In March, away games are in store against Brentford and Chelsea, so they need to grab points at every turn. Bayer (defender), Ramsey (midfield), and Foster (four goals) remain absent from the Clarets' line-up, along with wingers Koleosho (one goal, one assist) and Redmond. Chelsea loanee Detro Fofana is shining in the Clarets' ranks, though he hasn't managed to score for the last four tours. In better news: Kompany can once again count on Josh Brownhill, who served his suspension in the match with Bournemouth, causing Josh Cullen to be benched. Zeki Amdouni will battle for the position of central forward with Jacob Brunn Larsen. Head-to-head In November, Moyes's men won 2:1 at Turf Moor, thanks to Tomas Soucek's last-minute goal. Interestingly, Burnley has not managed to best the Hammers in the last five face-to-face clashes. West Ham - Burnley match prediction Midweek saw West Ham play a gruelling match against Freiburg in the Europa League, but a deep bench allows Moyes to rotate the team relatively painlessly. The Londoners urgently need to make up for lost ground from the European slot, and hosting a league underdog at home seems like a favourable opportunity. The visitors are steeped in a major slump and no longer believe in their chances of survival, so my bet is on the host's victory.

Today within the framework of round 28 of the EPL, Liverpool will host Manchester City. Just one point and one position separate these two giants in the league table, hence the result of this match could predestine the fate of the championship title on this Sceptred Isle. Predicted line-ups Liverpool: Kelleher; Bradley, Gomez, Van Dijk, Robertson; Szoboszlai, Endo, Mac Allister; Salah, Nunez, Dias. Manchester City: Ederson; Walker, Dias, Stones, Ake; Silva, Rodri, De Bruyne; Foden, Haaland, lvarez. Stadium The match will take place in Liverpool at Anfield Stadium. Liverpool The Reds were not at their best last season, but are delivering at the highest level in the current campaign. At present, the Merseyside team tops the Premier League table, one point ahead of their closest rivals. Following an impressive streak of no losses, the Reds suffered a setback early in February, losing 3:1 to Arsenal. Since then, Jurgen Klopp's men have revived their winning streak, securing victories over Burnley (3:1), Brentford (1:4), Luton Town (4:1), and Nottingham Forest with a late goal (0:1) by Darwin Nunez. Besides, the Reds won the EFL Cup in February and this week massively crushed Sparta Prague (1:5) in the first leg of the Europa League Round of 16. Liverpool haven't lost at Anfield in the last 29 games in all competitions - the last downfall was against Real Madrid in the Champions League 13 months ago.Unfortunately, Liverpool's squad list for the upcoming match against Manchester City is quite sparse: goalkeeper Alisson and right-back Alexander-Arnold, central defender Matip, midfielders Jones, Thiago, Gravenberch and Bajcetic are all out due to injuries, as well as winger Diogo Jota. On top of this, central defender Konate sustained an injury last Thursday in Prague - his participation remains uncertain. Young forward Jayden Danns suffered a concussion last weekend and may not get clearance to play as well. On a positive note, Salah has returned to the group and will certainly appear in the starting XI on Sunday; he'll be paired with Darwin Nunez (10 goals and 7 assists), while Hungarian Dominik Szoboszlai will orchestrate the game in the centre of the pitch. Manchester City The Citizens still have a fair chance to secure their fourth consecutive Premier League title this year. Currently, they're in second place in the league, trailing their upcoming rivals by one point. Over the past few months, City has been in impressive form, as demonstrated by their current unbeaten streak of 12 matches (10 wins and 2 draws). Following a home draw against Chelsea (1:1), Pep Guardiola's men overcame Brentford (1:0), Bournemouth (0:1) and Manchester United (3:1) last weekend. City is the best team in the EPL regarding away performances: in 13 matches, the team has amassed 28 points, scored 28 goals, and conceded just 15. Unlike Liverpool, City's key players will be available for this clash: only winger Jack Grealish is ruled out due to an injury. Belgian playmaker De Bruyne has been in spectacular form in 2024 - he is expected to start on Sunday alongside Erling Haaland (18 goals and 5 assists). With 11 goals and 7 assists, Phil Foden, who netted twice last weekend, is becoming one of the best players in the world. Rodri (6 goals and 5 assists) is the backbone of City's central area. Head-to-Head Earlier this season, the teams settled for a draw at the Etihad (1:1), and overall Liverpool have lost only one of their last 20 home Premier League games against City. Match prediction Liverpool - Manchester City A flurry of injuries and limited recovery time after midweek European action make Liverpool the underdogs for the upcoming clash. The Blues have been in superb form in recent weeks, and are steaming towards another Premier League title. Therefore, betting on a City victory with a 0 handicap is quite convincing.

On Sunday, 10 March, as part of the 28th tour of the Premier League, Aston Villa will take on Tottenham at their home turf. The "Lions" played a 0:0 draw against Ajax in the first match of the 1/8 finals of the Conference League last Thursday, whereas the "Spurs" defeated Crystal Palace by 3:1 last week. Predicted Line-ups Aston Villa: Martinez; Cash, Konsa, Carlos, Moreno; Diabi, Luis, McGinn, Bailey; Tielemans; Watkins.Tottenham: Vicario; Porro, Romero, Van de Ven, Udogie; Bentancur, Bissouma; Kulusevski, Maddison, Werner; Son Aston Villa Aston Villa is becoming one of those teams that constantly strive for the highest places. Currently, Birmingham is 4th in the Premier League standings, leading Tottenham, who come fifth, by 5 points. A ticket for the Champions League would confirm a significant progress achieved with Unai Emery appointed as the head coach. After a 1:2 home defeat to Manchester United, the Yellow-Blues picked up the pace and won three matches in a row against Fulham (1:2), Nottingham Forest (4:2), and Luton Town last weekend (2:3). This week, Aston Villa drew 0:0 with Ajax in the first meet of the 1/8 Conference League finals. The hosts can't be characterised as having a reliable defense, having conceded on multiple occasions in four of their last six Premier League matches, yet their impressive scoring streak at Villa Park has been ongoing for 27 tours! Villa takes the fourth place in terms of home points earned (31 in 13 matches). Missing from the squad are still key defender Mings and Frenchman Boubacar Kamara, attacking midfielders Ramsey and Buendia, as well as forward Duran. Also, central defender Konsa returned to service last weekend. The unstoppable forward Ollie Watkins (16 goals and 10 assists) netted yet another double against Luton and will start, while winger Leon Bailey (8 goals and 8 assists) will accompany him on the left attack flank. After a rotation in the Conference League, Alex Moreno, Diego Carlos, and Matty Cash will return to the lineup, while John McGinn will replace Tim Iroegbunam in the support zone. Tottenham After a disappointing last year campaign, Tottenham is regaining its former standings under Ange Postecoglou. Currently, the Londoners hold 5th place in the Premier League table and lag behind their opponent by 5 points, having one match at hand, making the upcoming match crucial in the Champions League entry race. After a five-tour streak without a defeat (3 wins and 2 draws), the Spurs suffered a defeat, losing at home to Wolverhampton (1:2). But last weekend, the Whites resumed their winning procession, defeating Crystal Palace (3:1). Eberichi Eze opened the score early in the second half with a powerful shot from a free-kick but was then overturned by Timo Werner, Cristian Romero, and Son Heung-Min. However, Tottenham's away performance leaves much to be desired: Postecoglou's unit has only one win in the last six matches away from home, losing three of them. Brazilian forward Richarlison is still recovering from injury; Sessegnon and Solomon, as well as substitute goalkeeper Forster, have joined him in the infirmary. Right back Pedro Porro also missed the last two matches, however, Postecoglou stated that the player has fully recovered from the sprain and is ready to play on Sunday. German Timo Werner (1 goal and 2 assists in 6 Premier League matches) took advantage of Richarlison's absence and scored his first goal for Tottenham last week he will form the attacking quartet with Kulusevski (6 goals and 2 assists), Maddison (3 goals and 7 assists), and Son (13 goals and 6 assists). Head to Head Aston Villa prevailed over Tottenham in all of their last three Premier League matches, with a 1:2 away victory for the Lions in the first round. Match prediction Aston Villa, eyeing the Champions League quartet, can't afford a hitch in a home match against a direct competitor. The hosts, even though they played Conference League on Thursday, rotated the team. Tottenham, performing less brightly away from home, managed only 1 away win in their last six matches. My prediction is an Aston Villa win with a handicap of 0.

Today as part of the 28th Premier League round, Arsenal will welcome Brentford on their home ground. On Monday evening, Mikel Arteta's team thrashed Sheffield United with a score of 0:6, and prior to this, the "Bees" shared points with its West London neighbours - Chelsea (2:2). Predicted Lineups Arsenal: Ramsdale; White, Saliba, Gabriel, Kivior; Edegor, Jorginho, Rice; Saka, Havertz, Trossard.Brentford: Flekken; Zanka, Collins, Ajer; Rorslev, Janelt, Jensen, Norgaard, Reguilon; Wissa, Toney. Arsenal Holding the 3rd place in the Premier League table, just 2 points behind the leading Liverpool, Arsenal has joined the title race, which has eluded the club since 2004. In December, Londoners slowed down a bit, but since the beginning of January, the hosts have won 7 consecutive matches: Crystal Palace (5:0), Nottingham Forest (1:2), Liverpool (3:1), West Ham (0:6), Burnley (0:5), Newcastle (4:1), and Sheffield United just on Monday (0:6). By the 25th minute, Arteta's team already held a four-ball advantage thanks to accurate shots from Gabriel Martinelli, Martin Edegor, Kai Havertz, and Jade Bogle's own goal, a left foot shot from Ben White secured the biggest away victory in Arsenal's Premier League history. In the Champions League playoffs, Arsenal lost their first match to Porto (1:0) and will try to turn the tide of the confrontation in the return match next Tuesday. The Dutch defender Timber sustained an injury in the first round and is still in recovery. In addition, Mikel Arteta won't be able to rely on the important left back Zinchenko and the versatile Tomiyasu. The center-back pair, Saliba and Gabriel, set up the best defense in the Premier League (only 23 conceded goals). Midfielder Declan Rice is having an outstanding season and will surely start, with Martinelli, Edegor, Trossard, Havertz, and Saka possibly appearing in attack. Importantly, the hosts won't be able to use goalkeeper David Raya, who belongs to the Bees - he'll be replaced by Ramsdale. Brentford Currently, Brentford holds the 15th place in the overall standings of the Premier League, with one game in hand, being 6 points away from the relegation zone. Needless to say, Thomas Frank's team needs to stay vigilant, all the more so given their current form is raising concerns among fans. Just one win, one draw, and five losses in the last 7 rounds. After three consecutive defeats from Liverpool, Manchester City, and West Ham, Brentford managed to scrape a draw against Chelsea (2:2) last weekend. Mads Rorslev's first Premier League goal and a stunningly beautiful shot from Yoane Wissa turned the tide of the West London derby after Nicolas Jackson's goal, but Axel Disasi levelled the score in the 83rd minute. It's vital to note that seven out of Brentford's last eight away games ended in defeat, the only exception being a 0:2 success at Molineux. Brentford is dealing with personnel problems due to a multitude of injured players. Key striker Mbeumo (7 goals, 3 assists), defenders Pinnock, Hickey, Henry, as well as reserves, Dasilva and Shade, are all out for the upcoming round. Ahead of the clash with the Blues, club manager Frank delivered devastating news: Ben Me will miss the remainder of the season due to an ankle fracture sustained during the defeat to West Ham. Ivan Toney (4 goals in 8 Premier League matches) may be joined in the attack by the experienced Wissa (6 goals), who scored last weekend, while French forward Mopi (6 goals, 3 assists) will bolster the game by coming off the bench in the second half. Head-to-Head In November, Brentford lost to Arsenal on their home ground with a score of 0:1, and in February last year, the Bees managed to snatch a 1:1 draw at the Emirates. Prediction for the match Arsenal - Brentford Given that Brentford, which lacks two key central defenders, is playing against title-contending Arsenal at the Emirates, it is safe to assume that they will not put up much resistance. The hosts are in phenomenal form with seven consecutive Premier League wins, which is quite different from what the Bees have shown. Out of their last nine away matches in all competitions, the visitors lost eight times, thus we confidently bet on the favourites' victory with a -1.5 handicap.

On Saturday, 9th of March, during the 28th round of the Premier League, Wolverhampton will host Fulham on their home turf. Gary O'Neil's team suffered a crushing defeat to Newcastle on an away match last weekend, while the 'Cottagers' triumphed over Brighton at home with the same scoreline (3:0). Predicted Lineups Wolverhampton:Sa; Kilman, Toti, Dawson; Semedo, Lemina, Doyle, Ait-Nouri; Sarabia, Bellegarde; Neto.Fulham:Leno; Castagne, Adarabioyo, Bassey, Robinson; Palhinha, Reed; Wilson, Pereira, Willian; Muniz. Stadium The match will take place in Wolverhampton at the Molineux Stadium. Wolverhampton Currently, Wolverhampton occupies the 10th spot in the Premier League table. Trailing four points behind the top seven, Gary O'Neil's pupils can still hope for a place in the European cups. However, for that to happen, they need the FA Cup holder to have already qualified for the continental championship through the league. After two victories against Tottenham (1:2) and Sheffield United (1:0), the 'Wolves' faced defeat last weekend, losing 3:0 to Newcastle. Alexander Isak scored in the early stages of the match, while successful strikes from Anthony Gordon and Tino Livramento ended all questions about the match outcome. Notably, the host performance at Molineux this season hasn't been too successful: in 13 home matches, they gained 21 points (11th in the division), scored 20 goals, and conceded as many. In the FA Cup, the 'Wolves' have recently triumphed over Brighton (1:0) and in the quarterfinals will meet modest Coventry. Fulham Fulham holds the 12th position in the Premier League overall standing, trailing their upcoming opponents by three points. The Londoners have picked up good form lately, as evident from their single defeat in the last six matches with three victories and two draws. After a 1:2 debacle against Aston Villa, the 'Cottagers' won over Manchester United (1:2), and last weekend at home, they crushed Brighton (3:0). In the first half, Brazilian Rodrigo Muniz and winger Harry Wilson put on a show: the former fed a precise pass to the latter, who struck a strong shot from a long-distance into the top corner; Wilson then assisted Muniz before the break. Thus, Marco Silva's charges can win three consecutive Premier League matches against teams from the top half of the table for the first time since 2009! However, it is crucial to remember that Fulham performs poorly on the road: in 13 matches away from home, the Londoners have garnered only 10 points, scored 13 goals and conceded 27. Head to Head At the end of November, Marco Silva's pupils won a thriller match with a score of 3:2, when Wolverhampton came to West London, thus ending a six-match winless streak against the 'Wolves'. Wolverhampton vs Fulham Match Prediction Despite the defeat in the capital four months ago, Wolverhampton has yet to lose to Fulham at Molineux in the 21st century. The hosts will be determined to redeem themselves for the resounding slap from Newcastle in the previous round, while the 'Cottagers' have been in good form in recent weeks and present an appealing game. Three of the previous seven head-to-head encounters ended in a draw I expect a similar outcome this time. Goals Prediction The 'Wolves' regularly score 1.5 goals at Molineux this season, while the 'Cottagers' have been scoring in the last five rounds. My prediction is that both teams will score. Corner Prediction Wolverhampton makes about five corner kicks per match and will play with the support of the home crowd the hosts are likely to meet this measure on Saturday. Yellow Cards Prediction Fulham earns around 2.3 yellow cards per match, the visitors - about 2.5. I confidently predict more than 3.5 yellow cards in total. Exact Score Prediction I'll put my money on an exact score of 1:1.

On Saturday, 9 March, as part of the 28th round of the Premier League, Bournemouth will host Sheffield United on their home turf. The 'Blades' were thoroughly defeated at home by Arsenal with a scoreline of 6:0 last Monday, and prior to this, the 'Cherries' snapped their winless streak by defeating Burnley (0:2). Predicted Line-ups Bournemouth:Neto; Smith, Zabarnyi, Mepham, Kerkez; Christie, Cook; Semenyo, Kluivert, Tavernier; Solanke.Sheffield United:Grbic; Ahmedhodzic, Robinson, Trusty; Baldock, Hamer, Souza, Osborn, Larouci; McAtee; Brereton Diaz. Stadium The clash will take place in Bournemouth, at the Vitality Stadium. Bournemouth At present, Bournemouth sits in 13th place in the Premier League standings, residing 11 points clear of the relegation zone. Thus, the 'Cherries' have essentially ensured their Premier League status for the next season. After a series of successful results stretching from early November to the end of December, the team experienced a downturn: last weekend, the Red and Blacks put an end to a seven-game winless run (comprising three draws and four defeats), defeating Burnley with a scoreline of 2-0. Justin Kluivert put the Southerners ahead before the break, while Semenyo sealed the match in the 88th minute. In the FA Cup, Iraola's charges were knocked out by Leicester City in the last 16 (0:1 after extra time), indicating that focus can now be wholly on the domestic league.Bournemouths next assignment is to end a three-match home winless run, with the hosts also having failed to taste success in their last seven encounters against newly promoted Premier League sides. Sheffield United Sheffield United is rooted to the bottom of the Premier League and appears unlikely to escape relegation in the remaining games. The 'Blades' lag 11 points behind the safe 17th position; moreover, in their last 11 rounds, they have managed to secure only one victory, two draws and eight losses. Following their victory over relegation-zone residents Luton Town (1:3), the Red and Whites suffered three severe defeats in quick succession, at the hands of Brighton (0:5), Wolverhampton (1:0), and Arsenal last Monday (0:6). The efforts of Ben White, Declan Rice, Kai Havertz, Martin degaard, and Gabriel Martinelli, coupled with an own goal by Jaydon Bogle, allowed Mikel Arteta's team to easily pocket the three points. Sheffield United, who have conceded at least five goals in four consecutive home games and have lost three matches in a row with a margin of five or more goals, have broken the unfortunate records of Derby County (2007-08) and Swindon Town (1993-94).It is worth mentioning that Chris Wilder's team boasts the worst away performance record in this season's Premier League: having secured merely 5 points from 13 matches with a goal difference of 10 scored and 30 conceded (the worst figure in the league). Previous Meetings In their last three encounters with Bournemouth, the red and blacks were not victorious, having lost to the 'Cherries' at Bramall Lane 3:1 late November. Match Prediction: Bournemouth vs Sheffield United Sheffield United appears more successful on the road in 2024, but their overwhelmed injuries roster and recent humiliations are hardly likely to inspire the visitors. It seems like the 'Blades' have come to terms with their inevitable relegation and have simply stopped playing a chance Bournemouth surely won't miss. My prediction is a win for the hosts with a -1 handicap. Total Goals Prediction The 'Cherries' boast a decent attacking line spearheaded by Solanke and are certainly capable of breaking the opponent's defence at least twice, a side that's conceded 12 goals in the last three rounds. Corner Kick Prediction Supported by their home crowd, Bournemouth will take the initiative and initiate more attacks I expect at least five corner kicks from the hosts. Yellow Cards Prediction Sheffield United accumulates nearly three cautions per match and is likely to meet this "standard" on Saturday. Score Prediction I'm placing a bet on a precise 3:0 victory in favour of Bournemouth.

On Saturday, 9 March, as part of the 28th round of the EPL, Manchester United will host Everton in their own yard. The "Red Devils" suffered a crushing defeat in the derby against Man City last weekend, losing 3:1, whilst the "Toffees" have been winless for seven rounds in a row. Predicted Line-ups Manchester United:Onana; Dalot, Varane, Maguire, Lindelof; Casemiro, Mainoo; Antony, Fernandes, Garnacho; Rashford.Everton:Pickford; Godfrey, Tarkowski, Branthwaite, Mykolenko; Harrison, Garner, Onana, McNeil; Doucoure; Calvert-Lewin. Stadium The match will take place in Manchester at Old Trafford. Manchester United Currently in sixth place in the Premier League table and falling 11 points behind the top four, United finds themselves in a precarious position - gaining a Champions League slot will be a tall order. However, the Red Devils still hold a chance to earn a ticket to the European cups of a lower rank. After four consecutive wins, the Mancunians were stunned by a 1:2 defeat to Fulham, and over the weekend, Erik Ten Hag's charges succumbed to Man City in the derby (3:1). Despite leading at halftime, thanks to a stunning goal from Marcus Rashford, the Cityzens turned it around courtesy of Phil Foden and Erling Haaland. United recently overcame Nottingham Forest in the FA Cup (0:1) and will face off against Liverpool in the quarterfinals. It's key to highlight that United is only in 10th place in the tournament table and perform poorly when playing at home in the current EPL campaign. Everton The Football Association recently reduced Everton's 10-point penalty to 6 points for breaching Financial Fair Play rules. Regardless, the Liverpool outfit still faces the risk of relegation: currently sitting 16th in the Premier League table, Everton has one game in hand and is only five points clear of the drop zone. The Toffees have been struggling for several weeks, without a win in their last 10 fixtures (5 draws and 5 losses). Having shared the spoils with Crystal Palace (1:1) and Brighton (1:1), the Liverpudlians were defeated at home by West Ham (1:3) over the weekend. Beto, having made amends for his penalty miss, put the Blues ahead shortly before the hour but their advantage was short-lived as Kurt Zouma leveled the scoreboard only six minutes later, and Tomas Soucek and Edson Alvarez netted a goal each in injury time. It's worth noting that the Toffees haven't won any of their previous five away games and have scored only two goals. Head-to-Head Matches In their last 30 visits to Old Trafford in the EPL, the visitors have only claimed one victory, drawing eight times and losing on 21 occasions. That sole triumph came in December 2013 when Roberto Martinez's team defeated David Moyes's charges 0:1. Match Prediction: Manchester United Everton Both teams are in urgent need of points, although they're positioned far apart from each other. After consecutive defeats, the Mancunians are lagging behind the European competition zone, whilst Everton is just five points clear of the relegation zone. Despite significant personnel losses, the hosts have fared well against the Toffees over the past decade. My prediction is a victory for the favourite. Total Prediction Without Hjilund, United lack a prominent spearhead in their attack, and Everton generally scores few goals in the current season. A promising bet would be to wager on the total number of goals being fewer than 3. Corner Prediction United, of course, will strive to monopolise control of the play and will be much more aggressive in their attack with the support of their home crowd. An audacious bet would be to back the hosts on the corners. Yellow Card Prediction In three out of the four previous direct confrontations, Everton came out on top in terms of yellow cards. It looks like a vibrant bet to assume that this trend will continue this time. Score Prediction I'm going to back a precise score of 1:0 in favour of Manchester United.

On Sunday, 3rd February, as part of the 27th round of the Premier League, Manchester City will be hosting Manchester United at home. Both teams moved into the quarter-finals of the FA Cup last week: the "Cityzens" thrashed Luton Town with a scoreline of 6:2, while the "Red Devils" claimed victory over Nottingham Forest (0:1). Predicted Line-ups Manchester City: Ederson; Walker, Dias, Stones, Ake; Silva, Rodri, De Bruyne; Doku, Haaland, Foden. Manchester United: Onana; Dalot, Varane, Lindelf, Amrabat; Casemiro, Met; Antony, Fernandes, Carnasciali; Rashford. Manchester City Arguably the best team in the world currently, Manchester City continues to compete with Liverpool and Arsenal for the English Premier League title. The Cityzens sit 2nd in the Premier League table, one point behind the leaders. Unbeaten in their last 11 rounds (9 wins and 2 draws), it seems the hosts have found their form in February. Following a home slip-up against Chelsea (1:1), Pep Guardiola's charges overcame strong opposition in Brentford (1:0) and Bournemouth (0:1) last weekend. This week, the Mancunians secured themselves a place in the FA Cup quarter-finals with a 6:2 win over Luton. With Erling Haaland becoming the first player since George Best to score five goals in an FA Cup match for a top-flight team, he was the star of the show before Mateo Kovacic completed the thrashing with an excellent sixth goal. In the Champions League, City had a 3:1 win in their first round of 16 match in Copenhagen and will play the return fixture next Wednesday. Croatian centre-back Guardiola will again miss this weekend's match due to injury. Winger Grealish suffered another injury this week in the FA Cup and will also be unavailable for the derby, but Guardiola has no other losses. Currently, Erling Haaland is the Premier League's top scorer with 17 goals; Phil Foden (9 goals and 7 assists), Rodri (6 goals and 3 assists), Bernardo Silva (6 goals and 4 assists) and De Bruyne (1 goal and 4 assists in recent 7 rounds) will provide the Norwegian with creative support in the attack. Both Matheus Nunes and Kovacic showcased their talents in the cup clash with Luton, but it's more likely they will start on the bench. Manchester United Manchester United has so far not lived up to expectations in this campaign. Currently, the Red Devils are occupying a disappointing 6th place in the Premier League table and are in a very unfavourable position to qualify for the Champions League (trailing the top four by 8 points). Erik ten Hag's men recently chalked up four consecutive wins (against Wolverhampton, West Ham, Aston Villa and Luton Town) but unexpectedly fell to Fulham at Old Trafford last weekend with a 1:2 scoreline. Last week, Manchester United advanced to the FA Cup quarter-finals after beating Nottingham Forest 1:0 - a late goal from Casemiro sealed the deal. Importantly, the visitors can boast an impeccable away form in 2024: six wins in six away matches. The Red Devils' squad is considerably weakened by injuries: Norwegian striker Rasmus Nissen will be out; key defenders Maguire, Lisandro Martnez, Luke Shaw, and Wan-Bissaka, attacking midfielders Mount, Martial and McTominay are absent. In the absence of Nissen (7 goals and 2 assists), Marcus Rashford (5 goals and 2 assists) could lead the line, supported by Bruno Fernandes (3 goals and 5 assists) and Carnasciali (5 goals and 3 assists). The promising young talent Met (18 years old), who has been a revelation in recent weeks, forms a solid duo in midfield with Casemiro. Raphael Varane is likely to feature at the Etihad after a minor injury recovery, while young prospect Kobi Met will provide further strength coming off the bench in the second half. Head-to-head Ten Hag's charges suffered a heavy 0:3 home defeat to the Cityzens at Old Trafford, and in the last five derbies, the Red Devils lost all five. Match prediction for Manchester City - Manchester United The absence of Nissen will inevitably impact Manchester United's attack, especially since the opponent had an extra 24 hours to recover after the FA Cup battles. City is battling for the championship and simply can't afford to trip at home a stroke of luck given the hosts' phenomenal winter form. I do not expect a shock here and am betting on a victory for the favourites with a handicap of -1.5.

On Sunday, 3rd February, within the frame of the 27th tour of the Premier League, Burnley will take on Bournemouth on their home field. Last weekend, Vincent Kompany's charges suffered a defeat against Crystal Palace, with a score of 3:0. In the middle of the week, the 'Cherries' were knocked out of the 1/8 final of the FA Cup by Leicester after extra time Burnley Burnley's return to the top flight has thus far been disastrous, and the club has been fighting for survival since the very beginning of the campaign. Currently, the team is in 19th place in the Premier League, a worrying 9 points adrift from safety. What's more, the Clarets have failed to win any of their last 8 league matches (2 draws and 6 defeats), suffering 3 consecutive defeats against Liverpool (3:1), Arsenal (0:5), and Crystal Palace (3:0). After Josh Brownhill's dismissal in the first half, Kompany's team held on for over an hour, but eventually succumbed to an 11-minute blitz from the Eagles, with Chris Richards, Jordan Ayew, and Jean-Philippe Mateta all finding the back of the net. Of great concern to Burnley's fans is that their team has managed to secure a mere five points this season at Turf Moor, the worst home record in the division. Following their exit from the 1/8 FA Cup final, the team's attention is solely on securing their Premier League status. Critical midfielders Ramsey and Foster (4 goals) as well as promising winger Coleoo (1 goal and 1 assist) and winger Redmond remain absent from Burnley's lineup. This is compounded by uncertainty over the participation of key defender Bayer, who was close to returning last week, and Brownhill's suspension. Striker Datro Fofana (2 goals and 1 assist in the last 5 tours), who joined this winter following an unsuccessful spell at Union Berlin in the first half of the season, could once again start alongside Swiss international Amduni (4 goals). Josh Cullen is expected to replace Jack Cork, but it's unlikely that Kompany will make any further changes. Bournemouth Currently, Bournemouth occupies only the 14th position in the Premier League table, sitting a concerning 8 points above the drop zone. In recent weeks, the Cherries have been struggling, as evident by their current run of 7 games without a win (3 draws and 4 defeats). In their last two matches, the visitors put in decent performances, claiming a point against Newcastle (2:2) and narrowly losing out to Manchester City (0:1). Last week, Bournemouth were surprisingly knocked out of the 1/8 FA Cup final by Leicester (0:1 after extra time) due to a goal from Abdul-Fatawu. Notably, Iraola's men are currently 12th in the away standings - from 13 away games, they've collected 15 points, scored 21 goals, conceded 29, and have without exception conceded in their last six encounters on the road. The next two rounds present a fantastic opportunity for the red and black side, as fixtures against Sheffield and Luton could finally put to bed relegation concerns. Key defensive players for Bournemouth, such as Kelly, Aarons, and Hill, as well as experienced individuals like Adams and Fredericks, remain out of commission. In contrast, Danish midfielder Billing is back following suspension. Striker Dominic Solanke (14 goals and 3 assists), who did not feature against Leicester in the cup, is likely to feature; he'll be supported by winger Semenyo (4 goals). Enes Unal (14 goals in La Liga last season), who joined from Getafe this winter, could bolster the attack coming off the bench in the second half. Head to Head Owing to a victory over Burnley at the Vitality Stadium last October, the Cherries can make history by completing a league double over the Clarets for the first time. Match prediction: Burnley - Bournemouth In the cup clash against Leicester, Bournemouth failed to create many dangerous chances against the Foxes, but the potential return of Solanke should give the Cherries a boost in attack. Burnley are struggling mightily, failing to taste success since late December. I am at a loss as to how Kompany's side could best the Cherries - I'm backing an away victory.

On the 2nd of March, as part of the 27th round of the Premier League, Fulham will play host to Brighton on their home ground. The home side, often referred to as "the Cottagers", currently lack any tournament motivation, sitting comfortably in the 12th position in the league, while Brighton (aka the "Seagulls") still maintain a chance to climb into a European cup zone. Predicted Lineups Fulham:Leno; Castagne, Tosin, Bassey, Robinson; Reed, Lukic; Wilson, Pereira, Iwobi; Muniz.Brighton:Verbruggen; Lamptey, Van Hecke, Dunk, Estupinan; Gross, Baleba; Adingra, Lallana, Buonanotte; Welbeck. Fulham As it stands, Fulham occupies the 12th position in the Premier League and has no significant objectives to strive for. Since their drop-out from the round of 16 of the FA Cup, the Cottagers have only lost one match, having won twice and drawn twice. Marco Silva's men notched an unexpected triumph over Manchester United last weekend, winning 2:1 at Old Trafford - the first time since 2003, thanks to goals by Bassey and Alex Iwobi. This Saturday, Fulham has a chance to record back-to-back league wins for only the second time this season, especially as they've accrued 22 out of 32 points at Craven Cottage. In general, Fulham's games are quite spectacular: they've netted 36 goals and conceded 42, in 26 rounds. Top scorer for the capital-based side, Mexican forward Raul Jimenez (5 goals), is off through sustained injury; the Brazilian winger Willian (4 goals and 2 assists) also missed out on the last round. Brighton "The Seagulls" have been seen as serious contenders for the European cup tickets this season, currently sitting in the 7th place in the Premier League. However, of late, results have been inconsistent, with just 2 wins in the last 7 rounds, along with 3 draws and 2 losses. After a comfortable 5:0 win over the sinking Sheffield United, Brighton played a 1-1 home draw against Everton last weekend. On Wednesday, they were knocked out of the ⅛ final of the FA Cup, succumbing to Wolverhampton 0:1 at Molineux. Next Thursday, Roberto De Zerbi's men will travel to Rome for their first-leg of the Europa League playoffs, though Brighton's recent away form leaves a lot of room for questions with three losses in their last four outings.On the bright side, Brighton is putting up decent numbers, having scored 49 goals in the 26 matches, though they've also conceded regularly (41 goals). Head-to-head Brighton has been unable to secure a victory over Fulham in their last eight meetings, with the first leg of this season finishing 1:1. Prediction for the Fulham vs Brighton match Fulham holds a psychological edge over the rival given their non-defeat sequence against the Seagulls. Coupled with a morale boost from the convincing victory at Old Trafford while Brighton faltered over the winter makes a draw look most likely, as was the case in the first leg. Total Prediction Both teams boast quality attackers but lack dependable defences. Therefore, I'm expecting goals from both sides. Corner Prediction These sides won't lock themselves in their own half and will focus plenty of attacks through their flanks - it's advised to wager the total corners over 8.5. Yellow Card Prediction Neither team is notorious for on-pitch physicality (only 3 bookings were recorded last match), hence the bet recommendation is total yellow cards under 3.5. Final Score Prediction I would stake on a precise scoreline of 1:1

Currently, 20 of the strongest teams in the country are competing in the English championship, including Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea, and others. The English football championship is a prestigious tournament that features expensive and well-known football players. True football fans come to the stadium to cheer for their team, while others prefer to enjoy the online viewing of English football at home. Bets and predictions on the English championship can earn decent sums of money, which is why there are so many bookmakers, as bets can reach up to several million dollars.
