Brentford v Liverpool
Everyone knows by now that 12:30am on a Saturday is Jurgen Klopp’s least favourite kick-off time but the league leaders will start as clear favourites at the Gtech Community Stadium.
Only Manchester City have scored more goals than the Reds in the top flight this term but the underlying numbers (xG) suggest Liverpool have generated the most threat.
The visitors are likely to be without Trent Alexander-Arnold and Mohamed Salah this weekend but the likes of Luis Diaz, Diogo Jota and Darwin Nunez should have too much firepower for the Bees.
Thomas Frank’s men are 16th in the form table over the last ten fixtures and while the return of Ivan Toney has boosted their hopes, it’s difficult to look past an away win.
Our Prediction: 3-1 to Liverpool
Manchester City v Chelsea
The first thing to note is that the defending champions have won 11 games in a row in all competitions and remain unbeaten at home this season.
Score Predictor users will remember the reverse fixture between these two teams finished 4-4 but Pep Guardiola’s men have raised their level since.
The Blues continue to blow hot and cold having been overpowered by Liverpool and dismantled by Wolves before encouraging victories over Aston Villa and Crystal Palace.
Chelsea look good when everything clicks but they’re still too easily thrown into disrepair, as evidenced by the fact they’re tenth in the table having won ten times and lost ten times.
37% of Score Predictor users have submitted a 3-1 home win at this stage which feels about right – City have struggled for clean sheets this campaign.
Our Prediction: 3-1 to Man City
Sheffield United v Brighton
The Seagulls have won two, drawn two, lost two in their last six league games – a Score Predictor user’s nightmare.
That being said, a meeting with the team currently rooted to the bottom of the table has to be considered a favourable match-up.
The Blades won their third league game of the season last time out but the Bramall Lane faithful will have kept their feet on the ground as only Burnley have earned fewer points at home at this stage.
Brighton have only won three times on the road in the top flight but they’ll feel confident ahead of this weekend having beaten Sheffield United 5-2 in the FA Cup last month.
The home fans may get something to cheer at least as Roberto De Zerbi’s men don’t really do clean sheets.
Our Prediction: 3-1 to Brighton
Luton v Manchester United
The Red Devils have seemingly turned a corner of late with only Man City and Liverpool above them in the form table (last six games) at present.
Rasmus Hojlund has found his shooting boots with Alejando Garnacho, Marcus Rashford and Bruno Fernandes providing plenty of support behind the Danish striker.
As a result, Man United have scored 15 goals in their last five outings in all competitions – a far cry from their underwhelming attacking stats throughout the first half of the campaign.
That being said, their defence is still prone to strange ten-minute spells when everything goes pear-shaped but their results are undoubtedly heading in the right direction.
As for the Hatters, their defeat to Sheffield United last time out was a real spanner in the works.
Prior to that loss (probably the first time they haven’t been underdogs in the league since promotion) they had gone unbeaten in six games, which included a surprise thrashing of Brighton and a crazy 4-4 draw with Newcastle.
Rewind a couple of months and it would have been easy to envisage United coming unstuck at Kenilworth Road on a Sunday afternoon but their in-form attack should have enough to carry them through this one.
Our Prediction: 3-2 to Manchester United
Everton v Crystal Palace
After a decent run before Christmas, the Toffees are now without a win in 11 games and are once again threatened by relegation, mostly because of their ten-point deduction of course.
However, Sean Dyche’s side have had the wood over the Eagles of late.
In fact, Monday night’s meeting will be the fourth time these two teams have played each other since November 11th – with wins for Everton either side of a 0-0 draw.
At the time of writing, it’s unclear who will be in the dugout for Palace at Goodison Park but they’ll have their work cut out trying to get a tune out of the visitors’ available players – frequent injuries to Michael Olise and Eberechi Eze have been hugely detrimental.
Both these teams desperately struggle to score goals so it’s unlikely to be a festival of attacking football and we suspect it’s the type of encounter that will leave neither set of supporters satisfied.
Our Prediction: 1-1 draw
