Bournemouth vs Chelsea – Saturday, 15:00 pm

The guests enter this game with five losses in the last six games, so they are clearly in poor form at the moment, although the same can be said for their entire season so far. Meanwhile, Bournemouth won four of their last five games in Premier League and they are now pretty much safe from relegation, nine points ahead of the first team in the relegation zone.

Our Prediction: Bournemouth 1-1 Chelsea

While the two teams enter the match in completely different moods, Chelsea is still a quality team and they can pose a problem for Bournemouth, despite their great form. Both teams are also missing some important players due to injuries, so things are pretty even when it comes to that.

In any case, we can see this being a close, hard-fought duel and our expectations are for the match to end in a draw. Given that both teams can score goals and don’t have great defences either, we feel that a 1-1 draw is the most likely outcome.

Man City vs Leeds – Saturday, 15:00 pm

After beating Arsenal, Man City kept going and won two games after that as well, to extend their winning streak to nine games and take firm control over the title race. On the other hand, Leeds are barely outside of the relegation zone, thanks only to goal difference, and they have lost four of their last five matches in Premier League.

Our Prediction: Man City 3-1 Leeds

Given that Manchester City is also the host of the game, there is little doubt about the outcome of this match. The Citizens will not allow themselves to drop points at home against one of the worst teams in the league at this stage and we expect a convincing win for them, even if Kevin de Bruyne remains on the sidelines.

Leeds are capable of scoring since they have done so in six matches in a row, even while on a bad run. On top of that, Man City conceded in five of their last six games, so we expect the guests to get a goal in this match, which is why our prediction is 3-1 to Man City.

Man City vs Arsenal

Tottenham vs Crystal Palace – Saturday, 15:00 pm

With three losses in the last four matches in Premier League, Tottenham is barely holding on to the seventh spot in the standings, so it is a question whether the Spurs will make it to European competitions this season. Meanwhile, Crystal Palace is in good form, with four wins in six games, so it will be another tough test for Tottenham.

Our Prediction: Tottenham 2-0 Crystal Palace

That being said, we can still see the Spurs winning this match. They are the better team on paper and they will play at home, so we can see them ending their poor run against Crystal Palace, who won’t be too motivated in this game given that they are pretty much stuck in the middle of the standings.

Given that Crystal Palace is also not know as a team that scores a lot of goals, we can see the Spurs keeping a clean sheet in this match, so our prediction is 2-0 for Tottenham.

Wolves vs Aston Villa – Saturday, 15:00 pm

Both teams enter this game in similar forms, with Aston Villa trying to get into a spot that would grant them Europe next season and Wolves trying to stay away from relegation zone, with them currently being seven points ahead of the first team in it.

Our Prediction: Wolves 1-1 Aston Villa

Given that Wolves will likely play to avoid a loss in this match, we can see this ending in a draw. Aston Villa has the quality to win, but Wolves have done well recently and they are a tough team to beat, especially at home. So, a draw does sound like the most realistic outcome for this match.

In addition to this, we don’t see many goals being scored. Wolves are a defensive-minded team, so they will likely keep the score low, but we can still see both teams scoring, hence our final prediction is 1-1.

Liverpool vs Brentford – Saturday, 17:30 pm

The Reds have managed to win five games in a row now and thanks to that, they still have a chance to secure a spot in Champions League for next season, although they will need to keep winning and to hope for Man Utd to drop more points. Meanwhile, Brentford is eight and pretty much secured a mid-table finish, although they do have a small chance of getting into Europa Conference League.

Our Prediction: Liverpool 3-1 Brentford

While Brentford is certainly a team that earned respect in the last couple of season in Premier League, we can’t see them avoiding a loss in this game with Liverpool in great form and desperate for points.

However, we can see Brentford putting up a fight and scoring a goal, given the defensive woes that the Reds suffered this season so far. With that in mind, our prediction for this match is for Liverpool to win 3-1.

Newcastle vs Arsenal – Sunday, 16:30 pm

The derby of this round of Premier League is certainly between Newcastle and Arsenal as this is a duel between second and third team in the standings. That being said, Arsenal is way ahead and trying to stay in the race for the title with Man City, while Newcastle is trying to secure their spot in Champions League for next season.

Our Prediction: Newcastle 2-1 Arsenal

Given that Arsenal struggled recently and surrendered the top of the table to Man City, they desperately need a win here. However, Newcastle proved this season that they are a great team and they enter this match in great form, with five wins in the last six games in Premier League.

With that in mind and taking into account the fact that they are hosting the game, we can see Newcastle winning. We can also see both teams scoring in this match, so our Newcastle vs Arsenal prediction is for this match to end with a 2-1 Newcastle win.

West Ham vs Man Utd – Sunday, 19:00 pm

Another interesting duel in this round is the one between West Ham and Man Utd. The home team is on a bad run of three losses in a row, while the guests are currently fourth in the standings and fighting to keep that spot so they can play in Champions League next season. To their credit, they’ve won four of the last six games in Premier League.

Our Prediction: West Ham 0-2 Man Utd

With West Ham in poor form right now and Man Utd doing well and needing this win to stay ahead of Liverpool in the race for Champions League, we can see the guests winning the match.

Furthermore, since Man Utd kept a clean sheet in four of their last six games in Premier League, we can also see them not conceding in this match. So, our West Ham vs Man Utd prediction is for the guests to win the game 2-0.
