Thursday's Games:
Burnley vs Newcastle Preview:
Although Burnley did not win at the weekend they will be content to have drawn 0-0 against Everton and earn a point and of course a clean sheet. The situation still looks dire for the club who sit in 19th place with 12 points though. Recent home form has seen just 1 point earned from their last 15 but they face a team who have an overall poor away record. Newcastle are fresh from losing against Manchester United and have won only once on the road so far which has really stalled their season. The Magpies are in 14th place and can climb 3-4 places with a win based on other results.
Key players out:
Burnley: Axel Tuanzebe, Connor Roberts
Newcastle: Valentino Livramento, Dan Burn, Jamaal Lascelles
Prediction: 3-1 to Newcastle
Recommended Betting Tips: Newcastle to beat Burnley at 1.62, Anytime goalscorer: Anthony Gordon at 2.75, Anytime goalscorer: Bruno Guimarares at 4.33, Both teams to score at 1.72
Chelsea vs Bournemouth Preview:
Chelsea have really lost touch with the top 3 after they were clawed back at home by Aston Villa to lose 2-1 at the weekend. The Blues have fallen to fifth place with just one win from their past five games as a result. After a strong start Bournemouth have collapsed over the past 2 months and it's just one win on the road so far and 7 points won from their last ten games. They are amongst the very worst form teams in the league and many will see this as a great opportunity for Chelsea to get back to winning ways.
Key players out:
Chelsea: Romeo Lavia, Levi Colwill
Bournemouth: Ben Doak, Tyler Adams
Prediction: 4-1 to Chelsea
Recommended Betting Tips: Chelsea to beat Bournemouth at 1.57, Chelsea to score 4+ goals at 5.00, Cole Palmer to score 2+ goals at 7.00
Nottm Forest vs Everton Preview:
Nottingham Forest will be looking to exact revenge over Everton who swiped them aside 3-0 only a few weeks ago. Forest remain at home after losing to Manchester City in a narrow defeat but questions will remain over their recent form. Sean Dyche's side have lost 3 from their last four games and are in 17th place and 5 points clear of the relegation zone. Everton drew 0-0 away to 19th placed Burnley last weekend. They are in 12th place but have gone 3 games without a win.
Key players out:
Nottingham Forest: Chris Wood, Ryan Yates, Ibrahim Sangare, Willy Boly
Everton: Idrissa Gueye, Ilman Ndiaye, Jarrod Braithwaite, Seamus Coleman
Prediction: 1-1 draw
Recommended Betting Tips: Draw at 3.25, Correct Score: 1-1 at 6.00, Both teams to score at 1.91, Nottingham Forest to score first goal at 1.80, Anytime goalscorer: Taiwo Awoniyi at 3.50
West Ham vs Brighton Preview:
The blueprint for West Ham was to beat Fulham and Brighton at home to give themselves a chance of staying up however the Hammers lost to Fulham what will happen in this clash? Only Wolves have a poorer record than West Ham at home and they will face a team they have failed to beat in 13 years. Brighton lost 2-1 away to Arsenal which shouldn't bother them too much. However the Seagulls have dipped and only earned 2 points from their last 15 on offer. Away form is no good with just 8 points won from a possible 27.
Key players out:
West Ham: Aaron Wan-Bissaka
Brighton: Solomon March, Adam Webster
Prediction: 1-1 draw
Recommended Betting Tips: Half Time: Draw at 2.25, Half Time Correct Score: 0-0 at 2.75, Both teams to score at 1.62, Anytime goalscorer: Georginio Rutter at 3.25
Arsenal vs Aston Villa Preview:
This should be one of the biggest games of the season and it could be a defining one. Arsenal could lose their top spot in midweek but the Gunners will be determined not too. Mikel Arteta's side recently beat Brighton here and they remain Undefeated at home. Arsenal has the best home record in the league and the best defensive record with just 4 conceded. Aston Villa are the best form side in the league and have won 8 games in a row and have lost just once in their past 13 games. Away from home Unai Emery's side have won their last 4 in a row and are fresh from beating Chelsea in London.
Key players out:
Arsenal: Ben White, Kai Havertz
Aston Villa: Matthew Cash, Boubacar Kamara, Tyrone Mings, Pau Torres
Prediction: 1-1 draw
Recommended Betting Tips: Draw at 4.00, Aston Villa to win with a +2 goal start at 1.57, Correct Score: 0-0 or 1-1 at 11.00 and 8.00, Sending off in the game at 5.00
Man Utd vs Wolves Preview:
Manchester United got back to winning ways last time out as they saw off Newcastle 1-0 and remain at home. The club will be expected to make light work of Wolves who are rock bottom with just 2 points. However both Arsenal and Liverpool struggled at times in their respective 2-1 victories at home against them and it is clear that Wolves are putting in the hard work and do not look like a team to easily beat. United are only 3 points from a top four spot despite their troubles this season. Wolves are 16 points from safety and are yet to win this season.
Key players out:
Manchester United: Bruno Fernandes, Kobee Mainoo, Harry Maguire, Bryan Mbeumo
Wolves: Andre, Rodrigo Gomes, Toti

Crystal Palace vs Fulham Preview:
Crystal Palace have lost 4 games in a row in all competitions and their last 3 in the league in what is clearly their worst form of the season. The Eagles were at home last time out but lost out 1-0 against Tottenham and they have fallen to 11th place. Fulham on the other hand have joined Palace on 26 points and are in reverse form to them having won their last 3 in a row. The Cottagers have also won their last 3 on the road and are undefeated away to Palace in the last 4 meetings.

Prediction: 1-1 to draw
Recommended Betting Tips: Full time result (draw) at 3.35, Anytime goalscorer: Raul Jimenez at 3.25, Sending off in the game at 5.00
Liverpool vs Leeds Preview:
In the reverse fixture Liverpool were involved in an epic game which finished 3-3 and we should expect to see more goals here. At that time the Reds were going through terrible form but they are unbeaten in six now and have won their last 3 in a row as they aim to turn their season around. Leeds are unbeaten in their last five games and are showing form and spirit not to go down. This has resulted in pulling 6 points clear of the bottom three but there is still a lot of work to be done. While Leeds form has improved this recent record still includes three draws and they have lost 6 games from 9 played away.
Key players out:
Liverpool: Mohamed Salah, Joe Gomez, Alexander Isak
Leeds: Daniel James, Sean Longstaff
Prediction: 3-1 to Liverpool
Recommended Betting Tips: Liverpool to beat Leeds at 1.50, Liverpool to score 3+ goals at 2.60, Anytime goalscorer: Hugo Ekitike at 1.91, Anytime goalscorer: Cody Gakpo at 2.75
Brentford vs Tottenham Preview:
Brentford are fresh from destroying Bournemouth 4-1 and are having a very solid season in 9th place. The Bees have 26 points and will be eyeing a European finish this season. They have gone their last 3 games undefeated. This game comes with the added spice that former Bees manager Thomas Frank will be returning with Tottenham. The London club have struggled at home but faring better on the road which was underlined with a 1-0 victory over Crystal Palace last time out. Tottenham are in 13th place but would go ahead of their hosts with a win.
Key players out:
Brentford: Diego Ouattara, Frank Onyeka, Joshua Dasilva
Tottenham: Xavi Simons, Pape Sarr, James Maddison, Dominic Solanke

Sunderland vs Man City Preview:
Along with Arsenal Sunderland are the only team yet to be defeated at home. The Black Cats have been strong in this campaign although recent form has taken a knock. They did beat their arch rivals Newcastle but that is their only win in their last 5 games. Sunderland have the fifth best home defence in the league with 8 goals conceded. Manchester City face a huge test on Thursday evening as they cannot afford to lose this one or they would have fallen 5 points behind league leaders Arsenal. City are in brilliant form and have won 24 points from 30 and have won their last three games in a row. Whatever happens they will finish this year in 2nd place.
Key players out:
Sunderland: Noah Sadiki, Bertrand Traore, Chemsdine Talbi, Reinildo
Manchester City: Omar Marmoush, John Stones, Jeremy Doku
