English Premier League continues tomorrow, with its 27th round. Two derby matches will take place in London and Leicester. We are here to bring you the preview for the entire weekend, with short analysis and picks for each contest.
Chelsea vs. Tottenham
The Blues and the Spurs will open the round at Stamford tomorrow. Both sides are not playing very well, and are experiencing troubles lately, Tottenham is without top two strikers, while Chelsea also has problems with Tammy Abraham who is doubtful. Therefore, under 2.5 goals is the first pick here.
Leicester vs. Man City
The Foxes are without a triumph for three games against the Sky-Blues, who often provide solid performances against this opponent. Though, this one might be different, because Guardiola’s team has a big challenge against Real Madrid in the Champions League coming up. Goals will be in focus, and over 2.5 is our recommendation.
Crystal Palace vs. Newcastle
The Eagles and the Magpies are playing by far the most boring football in the Premiership. These two sides are defensive-minded and are relying upon set pieces or the mistakes of the rivals, and as in the first case, we will go with under 2.5 goals.
Burnley vs. Bournemouth
Surprisingly, the Clarets have played several efficient matches lately, and the same applies to the Cherries. Though, there is one big factor why we are going to back up the hosts’ win here. Bournemouth lost four straight on the road, scoring only one goal during that time.
Sheffield United vs. Brighton
The Blades are in the competition for the Champions League right now, especially after City’s suspension. The Seagulls are without a win for seven straight games, and that is enough for us to bet on Sheffield’s victory.
Southampton vs. Aston Villa
The Saints are playing well over the past few weeks, and haven’t lost in seven consecutive events. Meanwhile, Villa is struggling, but they do show signs of life, as they score often. In the last six games they played we saw BTTS. This one will be no different.
Man Utd vs. Watford
The Red Devils need to confirm their win against Chelsea from last Monday, against the Hornets. If they fail to win in this match, three points brought from Stamford will be worthless. Their win is a must also because of the game between the Blues and the Spurs, which opens up a possibility for Solskjaer’s side to have control over their fate, United to win is the ultimate choice.
Wolverhampton vs. Norwich
The Canaries are the last-placed team in the league, while on the other side, Wolves are fighting to reach the Champions League. And that pretty much says it all. Nuno Espirito Santo’s crew is in a good momentum after trashing Espanyol in the Europa League, and will most definitely use it to post another victory.
Arsenal vs. Everton
This is the closing game of the round, and Sunday’s derby. The Gunners are seeking to win one big match and to improve the morale, while Toffees look pretty good under Ancelotti. Knowing the Italian manager, we are proposing under 2.5 goals, because he will set up ultra-defensive tactics and try to protect his own goal first.
