Check out our predictions for Matchweek 17 below…
Manchester United v Bournemouth
The Red Devils continue to confound supporters and pundits alike.
Having been totally outplayed by Newcastle last weekend, they then thoroughly outplayed Chelsea in midweek, though to what extent that was down to their efforts or the Blues’ failings is up for debate.
Erik ten Hag’s side are just three points behind Manchester City in the table but they’ve also lost the same number of games as Brentford and have a goal difference of zero.
Generally, Man United have got the job done against bottom-half opposition this season, just not always in convincing fashion.
Add in home advantage and it seems like a good opportunity for Bruno Fernandes and company to take a step closer to the top four.
However, this is not a great time to play the Cherries.
Andoni Iraola’s men were all at sea until they flipped a switch three weeks ago.
Since then, they’ve beaten Newcastle, Sheffield United and Crystal Palace – they also drew with high-flying Aston Villa.
All three results feel plausible…
Our Prediction: 2-1 to Man United
Aston Villa v Arsenal
Without wanting to jinx it, this should be a cracking game.
The Villains produced one of the most impressive performances in recent memory to beat Manchester City on Wednesday night.
Pep Guardiola’s side were restricted to just two shots while the hosts registered 22 – it was one-way traffic!
No doubt Unai Emery’s troops will have expended a lot of energy to claim the three points but the Gunners were involved in a breathless affair of their own at Luton on Tuesday night.
Villa boast the best home record in the top flight this season having won all seven fixtures, scoring 24 goals in the process.
However, Mikel Arteta’s side have the best away record in the league at present – they’re the only team to have won five games on the road this term.
If Villa produce the same performance again then it’s hard to envisage any side withstanding them but Arsenal are the league leaders for a reason.
Another tough call…
Our Prediction: 1-1 draw
Everton v Chelsea
Mauricio Pochettino’s men have been the scourge of Score Predictor users this season.
They recently beat Brighton and Tottenham either side of a compelling 4-4 draw with Man City but they also lost to Brentford and produced genuinely dismal performances away to Newcastle and Man United.
The stats say that both these sides are better on the road with the Toffees having won just once in the league at Goodison Park this campaign.
Instinctively, this one feels like a Sunday lunchtime snoozefest.
Our Prediction: 0-0 draw
Luton v Manchester City
The Hatters produced a noble effort against Arsenal but ultimately tasted defeat in midweek and this weekend they’re likely to face a wounded animal.
Erling Haaland and company will have a point to prove after a run of four league games without a win.
Rodri and Jack Grealish will return from suspension and it should be a case of normal order restored for the treble winners against a newly-promoted outfit currently 17th in the league – even that position is flattering because Everton have been docked ten points.
City have desperately struggled for clean sheets of late so we’ll back the hosts to give the Kenilworth Road faithful something to cheer at least.
Our Prediction: 3-1 to Man City
Tottenham v Newcastle
Yet another humdinger on paper.
Ange Postecoglou’s men are determined to play their way no matter how many players are absent through injury or suspension.
Their gung-ho approach helped them snatch a draw at the Etihad and while the fans remain positive about their side’s long-term prospects, it’s simply a fact that Spurs have taken one point from their last four league games – though they may improve their recent record at home to West Ham tonight.
Newcastle have also been ravaged by injuries but, barring a surprise defeat at Bournemouth, their domestic results haven’t suffered.
In fact, they’ve recently notched impressive wins over Arsenal, Chelsea and Man United.
However, the Magpies have underwhelmed away from St James’ Park this season – they’ve taken just five points from six fixtures on the road.
Eddie Howe’s side travel to Everton this evening but at this stage we can only judge previous results.
Our Prediction: 2-2 draw
