Check out our predictions for Matchweek 22 below…
Burnley v Luton
A battle between two of the Premier League’s poorer teams, both threatened by relegation back to the Championship as its stands.
The Clarets have played ten, won one and lost nine at Turf Moor in the top flight this season – comfortably the worst home record among the 20 clubs.
The Hatters have fared marginally better than Burnley since promotion, they’re four points ahead with a game in hand, but 15 points from 19 games isn’t much to shout about.
We’re tempted to edge it to the visitors but we suspect it may end in a stalemate that satisfies nobody.
Our Prediction: 1-1 draw
Chelsea v Fulham
Regular Score Predictor users will know that Mauricio Pochettino’s troops are predictably unpredictable.
Take this week as an example, the Blues had won three games in a row and looked quite good in the process prior to their dismal 1-0 defeat to Middlesbrough in the Carabao Cup semi-final first leg – you just don’t know what you’re going to get from them.
Strangely, both these teams would prefer the fixture to be at Craven Cottage as Chelsea have a worse home record while Fulham have struggled only the road – only Newcastle and Sheffield United have earned fewer points away from home in 2023/24.
Here’s the thing, only Liverpool have generated more xG than the Blues this season – even a slight improvement in finishing would yield substantial results.
Our Prediction: 2-1 to Chelsea
Newcastle v Manchester City
The Magpies enjoyed a satisfying win over Sunderland in the Tyne-Wear derby but they’re in danger of a reality check this weekend against a Manchester City side bolstered by the returns of Kevin De Bruyne and Jeremy Doku from injury – Erling Haaland may join the party too.
Eddie Howe’s side have suffered defeats to Everton, Spurs, Luton, Forest and Liverpool in their last six league games – a 3-0 win over Fulham provided some relief but there’s no denying their defence have floundered of late.
City haven’t necessarily been at their fluent best but they head into this fixture have won their last five in a row in all competitions – Phil Foden and Julian Alvarez have thoroughly enjoyed themselves in recent outings.
Newcastle still boast a formidable record at St James’ Park having won eight of their ten league games but that will be put to the test on Saturday as Pep Guardiola’s side boast the best away record this term.
The hosts’ underlying numbers over the last month are a serious cause for concern – it could get messy for them against the reigning champions.
Our Prediction: 4-1 to Manchester City
Everton v Aston Villa
After an impressive spell, the Toffees have now gone four games without a win, including three consecutive losses in the league.
In fairness, two of those defeats came against Spurs and Man City, which can happen, but if such a trend suggests they come unstuck against better sides then that should encourage the Villains, who are sitting pretty in second right now.
Villa’s away record is modest compared to their imperious home form but Everton average just one point per home fixture this season so we may not see the best of either side
Sean Dyche has improved his side’s defence considerably but Unai Emery’s men average over two goals per league game this season – a tougher match-up to call that it initially appears.
Our Prediction: 1-1 draw
Manchester United v Tottenham
Like Chelsea, the Red Devils have frustrated Score Predictor users this season by intermittently blowing hot and cold.
They mounted a spirited comeback to beat Aston Villa on Boxing Day but followed that up with defeat to Forest at the City Ground a few days later.
Spurs are hampered by key absentees with Son Heung-min, Yves Bissouma and Pape Matar Sarr having departed for the Asian Cup and AFCON respectively – not to mention an injury crisis at centre-back.
Still, Ange Postecoglou has overseen five wins in his last six fixtures and the Australian coach’s brand of attacking football is certainly capable of overwhelming a Man United outfit with a soft underbelly.
Only Liverpool and City have earned more points away from home than Spurs at this stage of the campaign.
Our Prediction: 3-2 to Tottenham
