Premier Predictions (Week 24)

6 Games on Saturday, 3 on Sunday, 1 on Monday

Possibly Liverpool's hardest game of the season if Bournemouth play the way they have recently?
Arsenal v Man City recently a top of the table clash, but neither team in top form.
Monday West Ham go to Chelsea, I would like to think we had a chance but the referees usually decide we don't πŸ™„
Some big games in the relegation fight at Everton and Ipswich

(* The re-arranged Mersey derby is officially a Week 24 game, but as it's not till the 12th February I'm going to tag it onto the Week 25 predictions *)

Nottm Forest v Brighton
Bournemouth v Liverpool
Everton v Leicester
Ipswich v Southampton
Newcastle v Fulham
Wolves v Aston Villa
*
Brentford v Tottenham
Man Utd v Crystal Palace
Arsenal v Man City
Chelsea v West Ham


Good Luck All  πŸ˜€

Premier Predictions (Week 23)

Some good European games this week, 15 goals in the two I watched 😊

Prem back on Saturday with 6 games, plus 4 on Sunday

Liverpool should extend their lead at home to Ipswich, Forest have a tricky game away at Bournemouth who were brilliant last week.
4th play 5th but you never know what you'll get from Chelsea or Man City.
Tottenham and Leicester have only one point between them in the last 12 games.
West Ham? will Potter stick with the 'Allardyce style' 5-5-0 formation? only hope is Villa play as bad as they did on Tuesday and rest all their best players for Europe.

Bournemouth v Nottm Forest
Brighton v Everton
Liverpool v Ipswich
Southampton v Newcastle
Wolves v Arsenal
Man City v Chelsea
*
Crystal Palace v Brentford
Tottenham v Leicester
Aston Villa v West Ham
Fulham v Man Utd

Premier Predictions (Week 20)

Happy New Year  πŸ˜€
Half the season gone, into the 2nd half
7 games on Saturday, 2 on Sunday and the Nuno derby on Monday

Liverpool Man Utd used to be a big game, but it looks like the easiest one to predict this week, just how many goals? Although it was 0-0 last season after a 7-0 the year before.
Again I fear the worst for West Ham, although there will never be a better time to play Man City.
Arsenal go to Brighton who are the current draw specialists.
Bottom teams (apart from Leicester) are all improving so no easy games.

Tottenham v Newcastle
Aston Villa v Leicester
Bournemouth v Everton
Crystal Palace v Chelsea
Man City v West Ham
Southampton v Brentford
Brighton v Arsenal
*
Fulham v Ipswich
Liverpool v Man Utd
*
Wolves v Nottm Forest
