Premier Predictions (Week 22)

I was going to do a double week post, but I'll settle for just the midweek games to avoid confusion.
The week 22 games are spread over 3 days.
5 on Tuesday 30th Jan, 3 on Wednesday 31st Jan, 2 on Thursday 1st February.

Liverpool will stay top but Man City, Arsenal and maybe Villa and Tottenham are all breathing down their necks.

At the bottom at least 8 teams are still involved in the relegation battle.
The 3 promoted teams have surprised me, Luton are better than expected while Burnley and Sheffield are worse.
Forest and Everton might be hit with more points deductions, Crystal Palace's chances seem to be dependant on Olise and Eze being fit.
Brentford should bounce back when their front 3 return.

Nottm Forest v Arsenal
Fulham v Everton
Luton v Brighton
Crystal Palace v Sheff Utd
Aston Villa v Newcastle
Man City v Burnley
Tottenham v Brentford
Liverpool v Chelsea
West Ham v Bournemouth
Wolves v Man Utd

As always Good Luck All  😀
