Newcastle vs Chelsea Preview:
Newcastle have just lost against bitter rivals Sunderland although it was a tight game and was away from home. At home the Magpies have managed 13 points from their last five games and in 12th place they continue to improve. Chelsea got a good win over Everton last weekend to end a three game streak with no wins. The Blues also reached the semi finals of the Carabao Cup in midweek as they edged out Cardiff. While they are in 4th place recent form has means that Chelsea have slipped 8 points behind league leaders Arsenal.

Prediction: 1-1 draw
Recommended Betting Tips: Full time result (Draw) at 3.50, Anytime goalscorer: Nick Woltemade at 2.50, Sending off in the game at 5.00
Bournemouth vs Burnley Preview:
Bournemouth are on a winless streak and have fallen to 13th place but you'd have to think that their latest game may give them a boost. On Monday evening the club staged a dramatic fightback in the end to draw 4-4 away to Manchester United. Burnley's troubles continue after they lost 3-2 at home to Fulham and a gap to safety has emerged. The Clarets are now six points adrift and away from home they have lost seven of their 8 games played.
Key players out:
Bournemouth: Ryan Christie, Ben Doak
Burnley: Connor Roberts, Jordan Beyer
Prediction: 3-0 to Bournemouth
Recommended Betting Tips: Half Time/Full Time: Bournemouth/Bournemouth at 2.10, Anytime goalscorer: Antoine Semenyo at 2.10, Anytime goalscorer: Justin Kluivert at 2.75, Correct Score: Bournemouth to win 3-0 at 10.00
Brighton vs Sunderland Preview:
Brighton were beaten by Liverpool 2-0 in their latest game and that has extended the Seagulls winless run to 3 games. As a result the club have dropped down to 10th place but could move 2-3 places based on weekend results. Sunderland will have be elated to have won the Tyne Wear derby over Newcastle last weekend. Form has been a mixed bag however the Black Cats are having a very solid season and head into this encounter three points ahead of their hosts. Away form isn't so good for Sunderland with just one win from their past five matches.
Key players out:
Brighton: Lewis Dunk, Diego Gomez
Sunderland: Luke O' Nien, Habib Diarra, Bertrand Traore
Prediction: 1-0 to Brighton
Recommended Betting Tips: Brighton to beat Sunderland at 1.62, Half Time Correct Score 0-0 at 3.25, Correct Score: Brighton to win 1-0 at 7.00, Under 2.5 goals at 2.00
Man City vs West Ham Preview:
It's been a good few weeks for Manchester City who have put a great run together winning their last 4 games in a row in the league. City also qualified for the semi finals of the Carabao Cup in midweek as they eased past Brentford 2-0. The club are just 2 points behind league leaders Arsenal and have won seven of their 8 games at home. West Ham were involved in a thriller against Aston Villa last weekend but came off 3-2 losers. The Hammers have won just three points from their past five games and are three points from safety as they worryingly start to drift. The club has managed to draw their last three away games in a row.
Key players out:
West Ham: Lucasz Fabianski, Aaron Wan-Bissaka
Manchester City: Omar Marmoush, Rodri, Jeremy Doku
Prediction: 3-1 to Man City

Wolves vs Brentford Preview:
After 17 games could this be the moment that Wolves finally win their first game of the season? You have to wonder because even though the club keep losing performances have got better. This was underlined last weekend when they almost forced league leaders Arsenal to a draw before narrowly missing out losing 2-1. It's staggering to think that Rob Edwards side are 14 points from safety already. Brentford were knocked out of the Carabao Cup in midweek by Manchester City. In the league they have gone their last three games without a win and last weekend were held to a 1-1 draw by Leeds.
Key players out:
Wolves: Yerson Mosquera, Daniel Bentley, Rodrigo Gomes
Brentford: Frank Onyeka, Diego Ouattara
Prediction: 1-1 draw
Recommended Betting Tips: Full time result (Draw) at 3.45, Anytime goalscorer: Jorgen Larsen at 3.00, Team to score first: Wolves at 2.30
Tottenham vs Liverpool Preview:
Pressure is on for Tottenham manager Thomas Frank with just one win in their past five games the club have slipped to 11th. The real problem for Tottenham has been at home where they would rank in 17th place and have lost 50% of their games. The club are also fresh from being roundly beaten 3-0 at Nottingham Forest. Liverpool beat Brighton 2-0 last time out as they seek to recover from recent poor form. The Reds look back on track and are unbeaten in their last 4 games. In the last ten clashes when Tottenham have been at home Liverpool have won five of them.
Key players out:
Tottenham: Dominic Solanke, James Maddison, Pape Sarr
Liverpool: Mohamed Salah, Joe Gomez, Cody Gakpo
Prediction: 4-2 to Liverpool
Recommended Betting Tips: Liverpool to beat Tottenham at 2.00, Alexander Isak to score 2+ goals at 7.00, Anytime goalscorer: Hugo Ekitike at 2.20, Anytime goalscorer: Richarlison at 2.75, Correct Score: Liverpool to win 4-2 at 41.00, Tottenham to score 2+ goals at 2 50
Everton vs Arsenal Preview:
It's been a decent period for Everton but this has also included defeats by Newcastle and last weekend Chelsea David Moyes side have already lost twice in their new home stadium but have a recent good record over their opponents and have won 50% of home games so far. Because of the African Cup of Nations Everton's midfield will be feeling quite a gap. Arsenal are in 1st place of course and have mostly been at a high standard although recent form has been somewhat wobbly. In their last five games the Gunners have lost to Aston Villa and drawn against Sunderland but still won 3 of those games.
Key players out:
Everton: Idrissa Gueye, Ilman Ndiaye, Seamus Coleman, Jarrad Braithwaite
Arsenal: Kai Havertz, Max Dowman
Prediction: 3-0 to Arsenal
Recommended Betting Tips: Arsenal to beat Everton at 1.62, Viktor Gyokeres to score 2+ goals at 7.50, Arsenal to score 3+ goals at 3.75
Leeds vs Crystal Palace Preview:
Quite clearly Leeds fortunes have changed in recent weeks and it hasn't been by any luck. Manager Daniel Farke has changed tactics up and his side have been much more daring and have gone their last three games unbeaten. Twelve of their 16 points have come at home and Farke's side come into this weekend 3 points above the relegation zone. Crystal Palace are in 5th place and apart from defeats against both Manchester sides they have been solid lately. The Eagles actually have the best away form in the league and have won their last three in a row. We are probably going to be in for a cracking duel.
Key players out:
Leeds: Sean Longstaff, Daniel James
Crystal Palace: Ismaila Sarr, Chadi Riad, Chieck Doucoure
Prediction: 3-2 to Crystal Palace
Recommended Betting Tips: Crystal Palace to beat Leeds at 2.75, Over 4.5 goals at 7.00, Leeds to score 2+ goals at 2.50, Anytime goalscorer: Dominic Calvert-Lewin at 2.75, Anytime goalscorer: Jefferson Lerma at 8.00, Jean Mateta to score 2+ goals at 9.00
Aston Villa vs Man Utd Preview:
Aston Villa have been on a fantastic run which has seen them win 10 out of 11 games played. Their form seemed to be under threat away to West Ham but the Villains finally came through to win 3-2. Unai Emery's side are in 3rd place and just 3 points shy of league leaders Arsenal. At home Villa have lost just once winning 6 of 8 games played. Manchester United's recent form has been a mixed bag but the club are unbeaten in their last four games but many feel they dropped another two points after an epic 4-4 battle with Bournemouth at home. Recent form away from home has improved and they have a chance to enter the top 4 this weekend if results go their way.
Key players out:
Aston Villa: Jadon Sancho, Pau Torres, Ross Barkley
Manchester United: Casemiro, Harry Maguire, Bryan Mbeumo, Amad Diallo
Prediction: 2-1 to Aston Villa
Recommended Betting Tips: Aston Villa to beat Manchester United at 2.10, Anytime goalscorer: Morgan Rogers at 3.00, Anytime goalscorer: Ollie Watkins at 2.25, Both teams to score at 1.57
Fulham vs Nottm Forest Preview:
Fulham have had mixed form of late but a good 3-2 win over Burnley would have felt like a six pointer for them and they have moved 7 points from the bottom three. The Cottagers have won 50% of games at home so far but have also lost their last two here in a row. Nottingham Forest are in 16th place and five points clear of the bottom three as they slowly try to pull away to safety and they would go above their hosts with a win. Form has been inconsistent for Sean Dyche's side though they recorded an excellent 3-0 win at home to Tottenham in their last fixture.
Key players out:
Fulham: Alex Iwobi, Calvin Bassey, Samuel Chukwueze
Nottingham Forest: Willy Boly, Ibrahim Sangare, Chris Wood
Prediction: 1-1 draw
Recommended Betting Tips: Half Time Draw at 2.10, Correct Score: 1-1 at 6.00, Both teams to score at 1.70, Under 2.5 goals at 1.70
