Etihad, Manchester

EPL-2019-Man-City-vs-Leicester

For all the fantasy football geeks out there, we share prediction tips of league matches that will give them a better shot at predicting and winning. Starting with EPL 2019. 

Man City welcome high-flying Leicester City to the Etihad Stadium on Saturday evening in a match which pits third against second in the Premier League table.

The champions trail their visitors by four points after 17 games of the season, while both teams will be looking to take the opportunity to close the gap on runaway leaders Liverpool, who are away on Club World Cup duty.

Man City’s performance in EPL 2019:

Sergio Aguero returned to training at the start of the week but was not risked in Wednesday’s League Cup quarter-final win over Oxford. It’s unclear whether he is fit enough to start or whether Gabriel Jesus will continue up front.

Phil Foden has started Manchester City’s last three matches and will hope to continue in midfield with David Silva still nursing his way back to a full recovery.

Neither Bernardo Silva nor Riyad Mahrez are at their best and both could find themselves on the bench for the second straight league match if Foden is preferred on the wing.

Leicester City’s performance in EPL 2019:

After only managing a 1-1 draw with Norwich last weekend, Brendan Rodgers may revert back to a 4-5-1 formation at the Etihad, with Kelechi Iheanacho dropped against his former club.

Matty James is the only absentee.

Man City vs Leicester Predicted line-up:

Man City

Ederson; Kyle Walker, Nicolas Otamendi, Fernandinho, Benjamin Mendy; Rodrigo, Ilkay Gundogan; Kevin De Bruyne, Phil Foden, Raheem Sterling; Gabriel Jesus.

Leicester City

Kasper Schmeichel; Ricardo Pereira, Caglar Soyuncu, Jonny Evans, Ben Chilwell; Ayoze Perez, Youri Tielemans, Wilfred Ndidi, James Maddison, Harvey Barnes; Jamie Vardy.

EPL 2019: Man City vs Leicester Prediction

  1. The Foxes have won more games, lost half as many and conceded eight fewer goals than Saturday’s hosts so far this season, while they also boast the division’s best goal difference ahead of even Liverpool.
  2. Man City have won six of the last seven meetings with Leicester across all competitions and boast a far superior head-to-head record over the entire history of the fixture with 59 wins compared to 30 for Leicester.
  3. Man City have won 249 Premier League matches since January 1, 2010. They could become only the second team in English top-flight history to reach 250 victories in a single decade, after Manchester United’s 255 in the 2000s. 
  4. Leicester have won their last four Premier League away matches by an aggregate score of 17-1. The Foxes have never previously won five consecutive away matches in the top flight. 
  5. Leicester striker Jamie Vardy has the most goals in the EPL this season, with 16, while Man City’s Kevin De Bruyne has the most assists, with nine. They are the top two players for most goal involvements in the competition (Vardy 19, De Bruyne 15). 
  6. Man City have scored at least 2 goals in 15 of their last 18 EPL matches.
  7. There have been over 2.5 goals scored in Man City’s last 8 EPL games.
  8. Leicester have scored at least 2 goals in their last 4 away EPL matches.

Goodison Park

EPL-2019-Everton-vs-Arsenal

For all the fantasy football geeks out there, we share prediction tips of league matches that will give them a better shot at predicting and winning. Starting with EPL 2019. The match of the day is Everton vs Arsenal.

Everton host Arsenal in Premier League (EPL) in what might be the last game in charge for Duncan Ferguson, as caretaker manager, this term, on Saturday. Everton haven’t lost 3 games under him, in 90 minutes, while 10th placed Arsenal are coming on the back of a thumping 3-0 defeat against Man City.

Everton’s performance in EPL 2019:

Carlo Ancelotti is expected to be confirmed as Everton manager before Saturday’s game but the Italian is not expected to take over properly until after this match. It means Duncan Ferguson will oversee things for the fourth game in a row.

Everton are not expected to recover any of their injured players in time for Saturday’s game. That leaves Ferguson limited in terms of potential changes. The Toffees will at least hope to have Gylfi Sigurdsson and Djibril Sidibe back from illness.

Arsenal’s performance in EPL 2019:

Arsenal expect to have former captain Mikel Arteta in their dug-out on Saturday, as they close in on appointing the Manchester City assistant manager as Unai Emery’s long-term successor.

Sead Kolasinac is a major doubt for Saturday’s trip to Goodison Park due to an ankle injury suffered in last weekend’s defeat to Manchester City. With Kieran Tierney also ruled out, Arsenal have a real problem at left-back.

Sokratis is suspended for one match due to an accumulation of bookings, which should pave the way for David Luiz to start at Everton.

If Calum Chambers is required at full-back to cover for Arsenal’s defensive injuries, the Gunners may have no choice but to play Shkodran Mustafi. Konstantinos Mavropanos is also an option, albeit an inexperienced one.

Granit Xhaka has missed Arsenal’s last two matches due to the concussion protocol but should be available to play on Saturday.

Alexandre Lacazette has dropped down the pecking order under interim manager Freddie Ljungberg and will hope to return to the starting XI if Arteta is appointed in time.

Everton vs Arsenal Predicted line-up:

Everton

Jordan Pickford; Seamus Coleman, Michael Keane, Yerry Mina, Leighton Baines; Bernard, Mason Holgate, Tom Davies, Alex Iwobi; Richarlison, Dominic Calvert-Lewin.

Arsenal

Bernd Leno; Calum Chambers, Konstantinos Mavropanos, David Luiz, Ainsley Maitland-Niles; Lucas Torreira, Matteo Guendouzi, Granit Xhaka; Nicolas Pepe, Alexandre Lacazette, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

EPL 2019: Everton vs Arsenal Prediction

  1. Tenth-placed Arsenal are aiming for back-to-back away wins as they attempt to go level on points with Manchester United in sixth.
  2. Everton won this exact fixture 1-0 in April but have not triumphed in back-to-back league matches against Arsenal since a run of three between March 1985 and April 1986.
  3. Since losing 6-2 at home to Tottenham Hotspur in December last year, Everton have won four of their last five home Premier League matches against London sides (D1).
  4. Arsenal have won more matches, 33, and scored more goals, 107, against Everton than they have against any other side in the English Premier League (EPL).
  5. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s 11 goals have been worth 11 points to Arsenal this season, more than any other player in PL. He has scored in six of the Gunners’ last seven league wins, including four out of five this term. 
  6. Saturday’s encounter will represent the 212th competitive meeting between the two clubs, with Arsenal registering 105 wins in comparison to 61 victories for Everton.
  7. There have been over 2.5 goals scored in Arsenal’s last 5 PL games. They have conceded at least 2 goals in 5 of their last 6 PL matches.

EPL-2019-Arsenal-vs-Man-City

For all the fantasy football geeks out there, we share prediction tips of league matches that will give them a better shot at predicting and winning. Starting with EPL 2019. 

Arsenal look to continue their winning run in the Premier League when they host Man City on Sunday. Arsenal have won 1, lost 1 and drawn 1 of their last 3 PL games and would be keen to build on to their PL win against West Ham in their last game.

Meanwhile, Man City would look to bounce back from their Premier League defeat against Man United. City too had similar results in their last 3 PL games- 1 win, 1 draw and 1 lose. However, they are coming on the back of a 4-1 win over Dinamo Zagreb in the Champions League.

Arsenal’s performance in EPL 2019:

Hector Bellerin and Kieran Tierney are both sidelined for Arsenal, with the latter out for three months.

Granit Xhaka will return next week due to the concussion protocol. Matteo Guendouzi should start as a result.

Freddie Ljungberg will hope to have Nicolas Pepe available after the winger took some heavy hits on Monday. He will have late fitness test.

Alexandre Lacazette may have to settle for another place on the bench, with Gabriel Martinelli set to start again.

Man City’s performance in EPL 2019:

David Silva is a big doubt for Man City and has not trained this week after sustaining a knock in the derby defeat by Manchester United. Phil Foden may start after an impressive display in the Champions League. Ilkay Gundogan is perhaps favourite, however.

John Stones (hamstring) and Sergio Aguero (muscular) are ruled out, but Pep Guardiola has confirmed no other injury concerns.

Oleksandr Zinchenko made his return from injury in Tuesday’s 4-1 win away to Dinamo Zagreb to boost Pep Guardiola’s defensive options going into the busy festive period.

Illness ruled Ederson out in midweek and Guardiola will hope to have his first-choice goalkeeper available at the Emirates.

Arsenal vs Man City: Predicted Line-up​

Arsenal

Bernd Leno; Ainsley Maitland-Niles, Calum Chambers, David Luiz, Sead Kolasinac; Matteo Guendouzi, Lucas Torreira; Nicolas Pepe, Mesut Ozil, Gabriel Martinelli; Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

Manchester City

Ederson; Kyle Walker, Nicolas Otamendi, Fernandinho, Benjamin Mendy; Kevin de Bruyne, Rodrigo, Ilkay Gundogan; Bernardo Silva, Gabriel Jesus, Raheem Sterling.

EPL 2019: Arsenal vs Man City Prediction

  1. Arsenal have conceded the first goal in their last five Premier League encounters. They’ve never conceded first in six consecutive matches in the competition.
  2. Gabriel Martinelli scored on his first PL start for Arsenal against West Ham. Only three players have scored on their first two PL starts in the competition for the Gunners – Ian Wright, Davor Suker and Alex Iwobi.
  3. Man City have won their last two Premier League trips to Arsenal, more than they had in their previous 32 top-flight visits to Emirates Stadium or Highbury.
  4. Man City could become the first team to win three consecutive top-flight matches at Arsenal since West Ham did so between 1991 and 1995.
  5. There have been over 2.5 goals scored in Man City’s last 7 Premier League games.
  6. Arsenal have seen over 2.5 goals in 9 of their last 11 matches against Man City in all competitions.
  7. Man City have won their last 5 matches against Arsenal in all competitions.
  8. Man City have scored at least 2 goals in 9 of their last 10 matches against Arsenal in all competitions.
  9. Man City have scored at least 2 goals in 8 of their last 9 away matches in Premier League.
  10. Man City have kept a clean sheet in their last 3 away matches against Arsenal in all competitions.
  11. There have been over 2.5 goals scored in Arsenal’s last 4 Premier League games.

For all the fantasy football geeks out there, we share prediction tips of league matches that will give them a better shot at predicting and winning. Starting with EPL 2019. Today’s match is Man United vs Everton.

Man United host a resurgent Everton side in their Premier League clash on Sunday. While Man Utd are coming on the back of back to back PL wins over Spurs and Man City, Everton are riding high on confidence after beating Chelsea in their last Premier League game, which was their first game since the sacking of their manager Marco Silva.

A win for Manchester United will keep them on 5th while anything less is likely to see them drop in the Premier League table. Meanwhile, Everton will get further away from the relegation zone if they avoid a defeat.

Man United’s performance in EPL 2019:

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is hopeful Jesse Lingard could be in contention, with the midfielder trying to recover from a knock picked up in the Manchester derby.

Luke Shaw is likely to be available, but Paul Pogba, Eric Bailly and Timothy Fosu-Mensah all remain out.

Anthony Martial and Mason Greenwood compete for a starting spot in attack.

Ashley Young and Luke Shaw are in competition to start at left-back.

Otherwise, United’s XI is relatively settled at the moment with Paul Pogba still sidelined.

Everton’s performance in EPL 2019:

Everton have both Theo Walcott and Morgan Schneiderlin unavailable with calf problems, although caretaker manager Duncan Ferguson is hopeful Lucas Digne will be fit after he took part in training on Friday.

Seamus Coleman, Yerry Mina and Fabian Delph have resumed light training and their fitness will be assessed ahead of the trip to Old Trafford. Jean-Philippe Gbamin (quadriceps) and Andre Gomes (ankle) remain long-term absentees.

Former Manchester United defender Micheal Keane is expected to start.

Man United vs Everton: Predicted Line-up​

Man United

David de Gea; Wan-Bissaka, Lindelof, Maguire, Shaw; Fred, McTominay; James, Andreas, Rashford; Martial.

Everton

Pickford; Sidibe, Keane, Holgate, Digne; Iwobi, Sigurdsson, Delph, Bernard; Richarlison, Calvert-Lewin.

EPL 2019: Man United vs Everton Prediction

  1. Man Utd have won 36 of their 54 PL meetings with Everton, more than any side has won against another in the history of the competition. 
  2. Man Utd are looking to win three consecutive Premier League matches for the first time since winning their first six under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer back in January.
  3. Everton won 4-0 against Man Utd at Goodison Park in the last PL meeting between these sides. They’ve not won consecutive league encounters with the Red Devils since completing the double over them in 2013/14.
  4. Gylfi Sigurdsson has scored four goals in his last five PL trips to Old Trafford. Only Steven Gerrard has scored more as a visiting player at Man Utd than Sigurdsson, with five.
  5. There have been over 2.5 goals scored in Man Utd’s last 5 PL games.
  6. Everton have lost 6 of their last 7 away matches in the Premier League.
  7. Man Utd have scored at least 2 goals in their last 5 PL matches.
  8. There have been over 2.5 goals scored in Everton’s last 4 away PL games.
  9. Man Utd are undefeated in their last 6 home matches in the Premier League.

EPL-2019-Wolves-vs-Tottenham

For all the fantasy football geeks out there, we share prediction tips of league matches that will give them a better shot at predicting and winning. Starting with EPL 2019. 

Wolves host Spurs in the battle of 6th place in the PL on Sunday. Wolves are currently placed 1 ahead of Spurs in the Premier League table with only 1 point separating the sides. A win for either team will send them in the top 6 at least, if not higher. Wolves have lost just 2 games in the Premier League and are coming on the back of a win in Europa League but have seen 3 of their last 5 games in all competition end in a draw.

Meanwhile, Spurs are coming on the back of a 3-1 defeat to Bayern Munich in the Champions League. However, they had won their last PL game against Burnley 5-0. They have lost 2 of their last 3 games and hence the fixture proves to be an interesting match-up, at least on cards.

Wolves’s performance in EPL 2019:

Wolves remain without Willy Boly (ankle), while Morgan Gibbs-White (back) is unlikely to be available.

Despite a 2-2 draw at Brighton last weekend, Wolves could name the same XI from the stalemate.

Spurs’s performance in EPL 2019:

Harry Winks (ankle) returned to training with Spurs this week and could be in contention. Harry Kane, Dele Alli, Jan Vertonghen and Serge Aurier are available having been rested for the midweek Champions League match against Bayern Munich.

Erik Lamela (hamstring), Hugo Lloris (elbow), Michel Vorm (calf), and Ben Davies (ankle) continue their rehabilitation.

Tanguy Ndombele will be assessed ahead of Sunday’s trip to Wolves.

Jose Mourinho could name the same XI that started the 5-0 win over Burnley last weekend after resting key players in Munich in midweek.

Wolves vs Tottenham: Predicted Line-up​

Wolves

Rui Patricio; Leander Dendoncker, Conor Coady, Romain Saiss; Matt Doherty, Ruben Neves, Joao Moutinho, Jonny; Adama Traore, Raul Jimenez, Diogo Jota.

Spurs

Paulo Gazzaniga; Serge Aurier, Toby Alderweireld, Davinson Sanchez, Jan Vertonghen; Eric Dier, Moussa Sissoko; Lucas Moura, Dele Alli, Son Heung-Min; Harry Kane.

EPL 2019: Wolves vs Tottenham Prediction

  1. Wolves have lost only one of their last 19 competitive matches. Unbeaten in eight at Molineux, winning 5, they’ll look to at least maintain their one point lead above Tottenham in the table.
  2. Spurs have won their two league trips to Wolves following the latter’s return to the PL, but have won only one of their last 14 away Premier League games.
  3. Wolves beat Spurs 3-1 at Wembley in their last Premier League meeting in December 2018. They’ve not won consecutive matches against the north London club since completing the league double over them in 2009/10. 
  4. Since the start of last season, Wolves have taken more points against the 2018/19 top six than any other side who finished outside of these places last term, with 21.
  5. Harry Kane has scored nine Premier League goals this season, and could become the first player to score 10 in six consecutive top-flight campaigns for Spurs since Robbie Keane, who did so between 2002/03 and 2007/08. 
  6. There have been over 2.5 goals scored in 7 of Spurs’ last 8 PL away games, with Spurs conceding at least 2 in these games.
  7. Wolves are undefeated in their last 11 PL matches.
  8. Spurs have failed to win 13 of their last 14 away matches in PL.
  9. Spurs have scored at least 2 goals in their last 3 away matches against Wolves in all competitions.
  10. Only Liverpool have lost less No. of matches than Wolves in the PL so far- 2.
  11. Diogo Jota has scored 5 goals in his last 2 games in all competitions.

EPL-2019-Chelsea-vs-Bournemouth

For all the fantasy football geeks out there, we share prediction tips of league matches that will give them a better shot at predicting and winning. Starting with EPL 2019. Today’s match is Chelsea vs Bournemouth

Chelsea look to return to winnings ways in the Premier League Table when they host Bournemouth in the Premier League clash on Saturday. Chelsea are struggling at the moment, having lost 3 of their last 4 PL games but would seek inspiration from their 2-1 Europa League win over Lille in midweek.

Meanwhile, Bournemouth are facing a slump of their own having lost their last 5 games. Though 2 of these games have been against Liverpool and Spurs, they failed to beat Crystal Palace despite Palace playing majority of the game with 10 men.

This Chelsea vs Bournemouth match is going to be exciting for sure.

Chelsea’s performance in EPL 2019:

Antonio Rudiger made his first appearance since September in Tuesday’s 2-1 win over Lille but it remains to be seen whether he is fit enough to play twice in such a short period of time given his time out.

With Fikayo Tomori expected to miss out, Andreas Christensen is the first option to sub in for either centre-back on Saturday. Olivier Giroud is also a doubt but wouldn’t have started here, while Ross Barkley was back on the bench in midweek after overcoming illness.

Mason Mount, Reece James and Callum Hudson-Odoi will hope to benefit from any rotation applied by Frank Lampard on Saturday after only managing to make the bench in midweek.

Bournemouth’s performance in EPL 2019:

Nathan Ake is expected to miss out against his former club after suffering a hamstring injury in last weekend’s defeat to Liverpool. Callum Wilson also picked up a knock in the loss and is a doubt for the visit to Stamford Bridge.

With Steve Cook also sidelined, Jack Simpson will likely partner Chris Mepham at the back for the Cherries.

Harry Wilson missed defeat to Liverpool due to the terms in his loan agreement between the two clubs but will return to the starting XI on Saturday.

Dominic Solanke drew a blank against one former club last weekend and will now try to score his first league goal for Bournemouth against another former employer on Saturday.

Lewis Cook and Dan Gosling will push for starts if Eddie Howe makes changes in a bid to arrest their alarming slump in form.

Chelsea vs Bournemouth: Predicted Line-up​

Chelsea

Kepa Arrizabalaga; Reece James, Antonio Rudiger, Andreas Christensen Emerson Palmieri; Jorginho, N’Golo Kante, Willian; Mason Mount, Christian Pulisic, Tammy Abraham.

Bournemouth

Aaron Ramsdale; Simon Francis, Chris Mepham, Jack Simpson, Diego Rico; Arnaut Danjuma Groenveld, Jefferson Lerma, Philipp Billing, Harry Wilson; Callum Wilson, Dominic Solanke.

EPL 2019: Chelsea vs Bournemouth Prediction

  1. Chelsea have lost three of their last four matches but can still move level on points with third-placed Manchester City with a win on Saturday.
  2. AFC Bournemouth are aiming to end a run of five consecutive defeats which has left them only one point above the bottom three.
  3. None of the 15 meetings between Chelsea and AFC Bournemouth in all competitions have ended in a draw, with the Blues winning 11.
  4. Since the Cherries were promoted to the Premier League in 2015, only Liverpool, with three wins, have beaten Chelsea at Stamford Bridge in the competition more times than AFC Bournemouth’s two.
  5. Tammy Abraham can be the first Englishman to score in three consecutive Premier League matches at Stamford Bridge for Chelsea since Frank Lampard in August 2010.
  6. Harry Wilson is AFC Bournemouth’s top Premier League scorer this season, and five of his six goals have come away from home.
  7. Chelsea are undefeated in 27 of their last 30 home matches in Premier League.
  8. Bournemouth have lost their last 5 matches in the Premier League.
  9. Bournemouth have lost with a 1 goal margin in their last 3 away matches in PL.
  10. Chelsea have kept one clean sheet in their last 10 in all competitions.

EPL-2019-Liverpool-vs-Watford

For all the fantasy football geeks out there, we share prediction tips of league matches that will give them a better shot at predicting and winning. Starting with EPL 2019. Today’s match is Liverpool vs Watford.

Table toppers Liverpool host bottom placed Watford in their Premier League clash on Saturday. Liverpool have a chance to open an 11-point lead on the top of the Premier League Table .

Now unbeaten in 46 home league matches, the Reds will be aiming to maintain their dominance over Watford having won their last six meetings on Merseyside, scoring 21 and conceding one in that run.

Meanwhile, Watford travel to Anfield with their third permanent manager at the helm as Nigel Pearson kicks off a difficult end to 2019. The former Leicester boss will be hoping to add to the Hornets’ five points from their eight away matches in Liverpool, but that should prove easier said than done here.

The Hornets ended a three-match losing streak with a draw against Crystal Palace last time out and would leapfrog Norwich City with a win at Anfield.

Liverpool’s performance in EPL 2019:

Dejan Lovren was forced off early in the second half of Liverpool’s 2-0 win in Salzburg on Tuesday night and with Joel Matip ruled out, Joe Gomez should start alongside Virgil van Dijk.

Adam Lallana played no part in the Champions League and will hope to recover from a thigh issue in time for the welcome of Watford.

Nathaniel Clyne and Fabinho join Matip on the sidelines with Jurgen Klopp likely to rotate for the welcome of Watford.

Xherdan Shaqiri, Divock Origi, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and James Milner are among those who could come into the side.

Watford performance in EPL 2019:

Nigel Pearson takes charge of his first Premier League match as Watford boss and is unable to call upon Jose Holebas, Danny Welbeck, Tom Cleverley and Sebastian Prodl for the daunting trip to Liverpool.

Craig Dawson and Daryl Janmaat will be assessed with respective head and knee injuries.

It remains to be seen how Pearson sets his Hornets side up at Anfield, but he could name the same XI that started the 0-0 draw with Crystal Palace.

Liverpool vs Watford: Predicted Line-up​

Liverpool

Alisson; Trent Alexander-Arnold, Joe Gomez, Virgil van Dijk, Andrew Robertson; Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, James Milner, Jordan Henderson; Sadio Mane, Roberto Firmino, Mohamed Salah.

Watford

Ben Foster; Kiko Femenia, Christian Kabasele, Craig Cathcart, Adam Masina; Abdoulaye Doucoure, Etienne Capoue; Ismaila Sarr, Roberto Pereyra, Gerard Deulofeu; Troy Deeney.

EPL 2019: Liverpool vs Watford Prediction

  1. Liverpool have won their last three Premier League home matches against Watford 6-1, 5-0 and 5-0. No side have won four consecutive home matches by a margin of five or more goals against an opponent in top-flight history.
  2. Mohamed Salah has been involved in seven goals in four Premier League appearances against Watford, while Sadio Mane has contributed to eight goals in five matches against them for Liverpool, and Roberto Firmino has scored or assisted eight in his last six against them.
  3. Liverpool have scored a league-high 10 headed goals this season, more than Watford have scored in total in 2019/20 (nine).
  4. Since winning 1-0 in their first Premier League visit to Anfield in August 1999, Watford have lost their last five away against Liverpool by an aggregate score of 20-1.
  5. Liverpool are undefeated in their last 46 PL home matches.
  6. Liverpool have scored at least 2 goals in their last 15 home matches in Premier League while they have scored at least 4 goals in their last 3 home matches against Watford in all competitions.
  7. There have been over 2.5 goals scored in Liverpool’s last 8 home games in PL.
  8. Liverpool have won their last 6 home matches against Watford in all competitions.

EPl-2019-West-Ham-vs-Arsenal

For all the fantasy football geeks out there, we share prediction tips of league matches that will give them a better shot at predicting and winning. Starting with EPL 2019.

Arsenal caretaker manager Freddie Ljungberg is still searching for his first win as the Gunners travel to face West Ham in the Premier League on Tuesday. A series of bad results has seen the Gunners drop to 10th in the Premier League Table and another negative result, against the 15th placed Hammers, might make it more difficult for them.

Meanwhile, West Ham couldn’t build on their 1-0 win away to Chelsea last weekend and lost 2-0 at Wolves in midweek. A defeat might see them drop down in the relegation zone as they start the gameweek just 2 points clear of the 18th placed Everton.

West Ham had won the corresponding fixture last season.

After a thumping win in the Carabao Cup, Chelsea host Brighton & Hove Albion FC side, who are unbeaten in their last 2 matches, in their Premier League clash as they look to shake off their shaky start and improve upon their position – they are currently ranked 11th. Chelsea will also be aiming to get their first home league win of the season.

West Ham’s performance in EPL 2019:

Robert Snodgrass is a doubt after coming off injured in the defeat to Wolves in midweek.

Michail Antonio faces a late fitness test after missing out at Wolves in midweek with a slight groin problem. Antonio will replace Sebastien Haller up front if he recovers in time.

Elsewhere, look for Issa Diop to return to the team, while Pablo Zabaleta is also an option at right-back.

Former Arsenal midfielder Jack Wilshere is back in training and could also be involved after a groin problem but Lukasz Fabianski (torn hip muscle) and Manuel Lanzini (fractured collarbone) are still sidelined.

Arsenal’s performance in EPL 2019:

Dani Ceballos is the only confirmed absentee for Arsenal as they seek a first win in nine games. The Spain midfielder is still missing with a hamstring issue, which is expected to keep him sidelined for at least another week.

Rob Holding has not featured in the last three games as he is eased back to full fitness following a slight knee problem but could be in contention to return.

Hector Bellerin returned to the starting XI in Thursday’s 2-1 defeat at home to Brighton after overcoming a hamstring issue.

Kieran Tierney has not started Ljungberg’s first two games in charge and Arsenal fans will be desperate to see him from the off on Monday.

Look for Matteo Guendouzi to start here, while some changes in attack are required.

West Ham vs Arsenal: Predicted Line-up​

West Ham

David Martin; Ryan Fredericks, Issa Diop, Angelo Ogbonna, Aaron Cresswell; Declan Rice, Mark Noble, Pablo Fornals, Robert Snodgrass; Felipe Anderson, Sebastien Haller.

Arsenal

Bernd Leno; Hector Bellerin, Sokratis, David Luiz, Kieran Tierney; Granit Xhaka, Matteo Guendouzi; Bukayo Saka, Mesut Ozil, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang; Alexandre Lacazette.

EPL 2019-20: West Ham vs Arsenal Prediction

  1. Arsenal have failed to win their last 6 away matches in the Premier League and are winless in their last 9 matches in all competitions.
  2. The gunners have conceded at least 2 goals in their last 3 matches in Premier League.
  3. Arsenal have failed to score in their last two trips to the London Stadium and it wouldn’t be a surprise if they failed to win on Monday.
  4. Against no side have Arsenal won more away games in the Premier League than they have against West Ham (12 – level with Everton and Aston Villa).
  5. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has scored 86 per cent of Arsenal’s away Premier League goals this season (six out of seven), with the other being netted by Lucas Torreira. Aubameyang has scored 10 goals in the PL so far this season. Expect him to add to it.

EPL-prediction-Tottenham-vs-Burnley

For all the fantasy football geeks out there, we share prediction tips of league matches that will give them a better shot at predicting and winning. Starting with EPL 2019. 

Tottenham Hotspur boss Jose Mourinho is looking to bounce back from a defeat against his former club Manchester United when Spurs host Burnley in the Premier League on Saturday. A win for Tottenham could move them back into the Premier League top six.

They are up against a Burnley side seeking their second away win of the season, with their first coming against Watford in their previous road trip.

Tottenham Hotspur’s performance in EPL 2019:

Following three impressive victories under Jose Mourinho, Spurs were brought back down to earth in quite typical fashion at Old Trafford.

Tottenham boss Jose Mourinho remains without injured quartet Hugo Lloris, Michel Vorm.

Erik Lamela and Ben Davies have both been ruled out with calf and ankle injuries respectively.

The Portuguese manager may make a couple of changes to the side that started the 2-1 loss at Manchester United on Wednesday night.

Tanguy Ndombele, Eric Dier and Giovani Lo Celso could all come into the starting XI.

Spurs are likely to use a 4-2-3-1 formation.

Burnley’s performance in EPL 2019:

Ashley Barnes (groin) is likely to be available for Burnley, but Phil Bardsley and Kevin Long are all doubts. Sean Dyche is, meanwhile, sweating on the fitness of Johann Gudmundsson, Charlie Taylor and Ashley Westwood for their trip to London.

Gudmundsson has returned to training but will not recover in time for this clash.

Ashley Westwood is eligible again after serving a suspension against Manchester City but is a doubt due to a groin injury.

Dyche could make a single change to the XI that started the 4-1 home defeat to Manchester City, with Ashley Barnes coming in for Aaron Lennon.

Tottenham vs Burnley: Predicted Line-up​: Predicted XI​

Spurs

Paulo Gazzaniga; Serge Aurier, Davinson Sanchez, Toby Alderweireld, Jan Vertonghen; Tanguy Ndombele, Eric Dier; Dele Alli, Govani Lo Celso, Son Heung-Min; Harry Kane

Burnley

Nick Pope; Phil Bardsley, James Tarkowski, Ben Mee, Erik Pieters; Daniel Drinkwater, Jack Cork, Dwight McNeil, Jeff Hendrick; Ashley Barnes, Chris Wood.

EPL 2019-20: Tottenham vs Burnley Prediction

  1. Spurs have won seven of their last eight home meetings with Burnley in all competitions since a 4-1 League Cup defeat in January 1983.
  2. There have been over 2.5 goals scored in Burnley’s last 4 away games in Premier League while there have been over 2.5 goals scored in Tottenham’s last 3 games in the PL.
  3. Tottenham have conceded at least 2 goals in their last 3 matches in Premier League.
  4. Tottenham are undefeated in their last 5 home matches in Premier League.
  5. Son Heung-min has been directly involved in 13 goals in his 14 appearances at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in all competitions, with eight strikes and five assists, more than any other player.
  6. Burnley beat Spurs 2-1 in the last Premier League meeting at Turf Moor in February. They last won consecutive top-flight matches against them back in April 1975.
  7. The Clarets won 3-0 against Watford in their last away league match. They have not won consecutive league matches on the road since a run of three victories in April 2018.

Dean Court, Bournemouth

Bournmouth-vs-Liverpool

For all the fantasy football geeks out there, we share prediction tips of league matches that will give them a better shot at predicting and winning. Starting with EPL 2019. 

Liverpool have the chance to go 14 points clear of Manchester City in the Premier League when they travel to Bournemouth for their EPL 2019 game. Defending champions Man City host Manchester United later in the day. Jurgen Klopp’s side are still unbeaten in the EPL this season.

Meanwhile, The Cherries are coming on the back of 4 successive defeats, including their last game against Crystal Palace despite Palace being reduced to 10 men for 70 minutes. However, their form prior to this slump means that they have not slipped too far down the English Premier League table 2019.

Bournemouth’s performance in EPL 2019:

Steve Cook has a broken wrist and it is unclear when he will return. Chris Mepham is poised to deputise at centre-back once again.

Former Reds target Ryan Fraser is poised for a recall due to the fact Harry Wilson cannot play against his parent club.

Adam Smith became the latest in the crowded treatment room after picking up a knock against Crystal Palace on Tuesday night, leaving him as a major doubt for this match.

Eddie Howe may ponder a tactical change for the reception of Liverpool, which may see Simon Francis start in a back five and ex-Liverpool target Lewis Cook into midfield alongside Philip Biling and Jefferson Lerma.

Former Liverpool striker Dominic Solanke may drop out of the team to facilitate any tactical changes made by Howe.

Liverpool’s performance in EPL 2019:

Alisson served a one-match ban in midweek and will return to the starting XI on Saturday.

In a month that will see them play nine times in four different competitions, Jurgen Klopp took a relatively early and bold decision to rest some key players for the midweek derby as Mohamed Salah, Roberto Firmino and Jordan Henderson all sat out.

However, they are also expected to start here.

Divock Origi will start if Sadio Mane is rested here after impressing against Everton on Wednesday night.

Joe Gomez is an option to start at right-back or centre-back.

Bournemouth vs Liverpool: Predicted line-up

Bournemouth

Aaron Ramsdale; Jack Stacey, Chris Mepham, Nathan Ake, Diego Rico; Arnaut Danjuma Groeneveld, Jefferson Lerma, Philip Billing, Lewis Cook, Ryan Fraser; Callum Wilson.

Liverpool

Alisson; Trent Alexander-Arnold, Joe Gomez, Virgil van Van Dijk, Andrew Robertson; Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Jordan Henderson, Naby Keita; Mohamed Salah, Roberto Firmino, Sado Mane.

EPL 2019-20 - Bournemouth vs Liverpool prediction:

  1. Bournemouth have failed to score in their last four matches against Liverpool and have conceded 14 goals in that time, including successive 4-0 defeats at home. They are attempting to end a four-match losing streak that has left them two points above the bottom three. 
  2. Liverpool have won their last six matches and have secured 4-0 victories on their last two visits to Vitality Stadium.
  3. Bournemouth’s 4-3 win against Liverpool in December 2016 was the last time Sadio Mane scored and ended on the losing side.
  4. The Cherries have lost their last four Premier League matches by a single goal. However, they have lost their last four PL meetings with Liverpool by at least three goals. Liverpool have never won five consecutive top-flight matches against an opponent by such a margin.
  5. Mohamed Salah has scored in all four of his Premier League encounters with Bournemouth, the only side he has a 100 per cent record against in the competition. 
  6. Liverpool have won 22 of their last 23 matches in Premier League, with Liverpool scoring atleast 2 goals in 21 of those games.
  7. Bournemouth have seen over 2.5 goals in their last 7 matches against Liverpool in all competitions.
  8. Liverpool have kept a clean sheet in their last 4 matches against Bournemouth in all competitions. However, they have failed to stop opponents from scoring since September 28.

Etihad Stadium, Manchester

EPL-prediction-Manchester-City-vs-Manchester-United

For all the fantasy football geeks out there, we share prediction tips of league matches that will give them a better shot at predicting and winning. Starting with EPL 2019. 

Manchester United travel to Etihad Stadium to face their fierce rivals Manchester City in the Manchester derby. Though Man Utd have struggled in the Premier League this season, they have been brilliant against the big sides- beating Chelsea and Spurs and holding Arsenal and Liverpool to draws.

Meanwhile, Man City, who returned to form with a 4-1 win at Burnley on Tuesday, are looking for a fourth successive home win and to close the gap on PL leaders Liverpool, who most likely would have opened a 14-point lead over City by the time the derby is placed.

Man City’s performance in EPL 2019:

Man City are set to welcome Ilkay Gundogan back into the starting XI after the German midfielder missed their Premier League win over Burnley in midweek due to a one-game suspension. 

It has been reported that full-back Oleksandr Zinchenko may also come back from injury, after recently returning to training, but it is currently unclear whether the Ukrainian is fit enough.

Raheem Sterling avoided a yellow card against Burnley on Tuesday night that would have ruled him out of this weekend’s Manchester derby. Pep Guardiola can also welcome back Ilkay Gundogan from a ban on Saturday.

Look for John Stones and Benjamin Mendy to return to City’s back four but Kyle Walker could keep his place at right-back ahead of Joao Cancelo.

Rodrigo was immense against Burnley and Gundogan may have to settle for a place on the bench upon his return, unless he rotates in for David Silva. Bernardo Silva and Riyad Mahrez are in competition for a starting berth on the right flank.

They are likely to use 4-3-3 formation.

Man United’s performance in EPL 2019:

Paul Pogba is not expected to make his return from injury in Saturday’s Manchester derby. Anthony Martial may also miss out for a second game running due to a muscle injury.

Man Utd at least recovered Scott McTominay against Tottenham in midweek, while Nemanja Matic could also make the matchday squad here.

Luke Shaw or Ashley Young will start at left-back on Saturday, with Brandon Williams expected to settle for a place on the bench for the second game running.

Despite such a sharp turnaround between matches, Solskjaer may only make one change from the starting XI that faced Tottenham.

They are expected to use a 4-2-3-1 formation.

Manchester City vs Manchester United: Predicted Line-up​

Man City

Ederson; Kyle Walker, John Stones, Fernandinho, Benjamin Mendy; David Silva, Rodrigo, Kevin De Bruyne; Raheem Sterling, Gabriel Jesus, Bernardo Silva.

Man Utd

David de Gea; Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Victor Lindelof, Harry Maguire, Luke Shaw; Scott McTominay, Fred; Daniel James, Jesse Lingard, Marcus Rashford; Mason Greenwood.

EPL 2019-20: Manchester City vs Manchester United Prediction

  1. Man City have won 15 Premier League matches against Man Utd, with 10 of those coming in the last eight years. Only Chelsea have won more against them, with 18.
  2. Having triumphed 3-1 and 2-0 in last season’s Premier League meetings, Man City can become the first team to beat Man Utd by at least two goals in three consecutive top-flight meetings since Liverpool did so four times in a row between 1978 and 1979.
  3. Man Utd have only lost one of their last four away league matches against Man City (W2 D1), although that defeat came in this fixture last season.
  4. Man United are unbeaten in their last five Premier League matches against last season’s top six sides (W2 D3), including all four matches this term. They last went six consecutive such matches without defeat back in March 2016 under Louis van Gaal.
  5. Marcus Rashford has 12 goals in his last 13 for club and country and is likely to score again, given he has been the standout performer against the big sides this season.
  6. Man Utd have kept just two clean sheets in their last 26 in the Premier League and are unlikely to do so on Saturday either.
  7. Ashley Young has already served a suspension for collecting five yellow cards in the PL this season and odds are he will get booked. He should have been sent off at the Etihad the season before last, too.
  8. Manchester United claimed an impressive 2-1 victory against Tottenham Hotspur in midweek but are seeking just their second away win.
  9. Kevin De Bruyne failed to score or set up a goal in the last game, against Burnley. However, expect him to at least add to his tally of 9 assists.

EPL-prediction-Everton-vs-Chelsea

For all the fantasy football geeks out there, we share prediction tips of league matches that will give them a better shot at predicting and winning. Starting with EPL 2019. 

Everton host Chelsea in Premier League on Saturday with an aim to turnaround their fortune and give their new temporary manager Duncan Ferguson a positive start. They are coming on the back of a 5-2 defeat against Liverpool which completed the sacking of Marco Silva, whose future was already hanging by a thread.

Chelsea, however, bounced back from last weekend’s PL defeat to West Ham with a 2-1 win over Aston Villa on Wed. They remain six points ahead of fifth place heading into gameweek 16.

Everton’s performance in EPL 2019:

Everton have lost three matches in a row and are now in the bottom three after Southampton beat Norwich in midweek. The result ultimately led to Marco Silva sacking, who had somehow managed to survive the axes till then.

  • Djibril Sidibe had a shocker against Liverpool in midweek and Silva will hope to recall Seamus Coleman to the starting XI on Saturday.
  • Theo Walcott was fit enough for a place on the bench and may be drafted into the XI after several ineffective performances from Everton’s forwards in midweek.
  • Gylfi Sigurdsson failed to make any impact against Liverpool. However, the new manager might not take too much risk dropping him. Morgan Schneiderlin is another option to start for the Toffees.

With new manager in charge, expect heavy rotation in the squad.

Chelsea’s performance in EPL 2019:

Antonio Rudiger is back in training and is expected to start one of Chelsea’s next three matches, as Frank Lampard shuffles his pack for the busy festive schedule.

Ross Barkley missed Chelsea’s 2-1 win over Aston Villa through illness and remains a doubt here, though is unlikely to be considered for a starting berth.

Neither Marcos Alonso nor Emerson are in favour at the moment but they will surely be considered at some point over the festive period.

Tammy Abraham was forced off towards the end of Chelsea’s win over Villa but Lampard downplayed the seriousness after the EPL game and is likely to start again.

Jorginho will return to the starting XI at Goodison Park, while Mason Mount will keep his place after scoring in the last game. Willian came off injured against Villa but is not serious.

Everton vs Chelsea: Predicted Line-up

Everton

Jordan Pickford; Lucas Digne, Michael Keane, Yerry Mina, Seamus Coleman; Tom Davies, Gylfi Sigurdsson; Richarlison, Alex Iwobi, Theo Walcott; Dominic Calvert-Lewin.

Chelsea

Kepa Arrizabalaga; Reece James, Antonio Rudiger, Fikayo Timori, Emerson; N’Golo Kante, Jorginho, Mateo Kovacic; Christian Pulisic, Tammy Abraham, Mason Mount.

EPL 2019-20: Everton vs Chelsea Prediction

  1. Everton are trying to end a three-match losing streak after dropping into the bottom three.
  2. Fourth-placed Chelsea are seeking a sixth away win of the EPL 2019
  3. Everton have won six of their last 10 home league matches against Chelsea, more than they had in their previous 24 against them at Goodison Park in the top flight.
  4. Against no side has Everton’s Gylfi Sigurdsson scored more Premier League goals than he has against Chelsea, with five.
  5. Chelsea have scored 19 away league goals this season, matching a club record after seven road trips of a league campaign, level with 1966/67 and 2008/09. 
  6. Tammy Abraham has scored more goals in Saturday matches than any other player this season, with nine. He has scored 11 overall in the EPL 2019
  7. There have been over 2.5 goals scored in Chelsea’s last 7 away games in Premier League. However, there have been under 2.5 goals in Everton’s last 3 home games in PL.
  8. Everton have kept a clean sheet in their last 3 matches against Chelsea in all competitions.
  9. Everton have seen under 2.5 goals in their last 3 matches against Chelsea in all competitions.
  10. Chelsea have failed to score in their last three matches against Everton but they won’t catch the Toffees at a better moment to end that run.

Emirates Stadium, London

EPL-2019-match-prediction-Arsenal-vs-Brighton

For all the fantasy football geeks out there, we share prediction tips of league matches that will give them a better shot at predicting and winning. Starting with EPL 2019. 

Arsenal came from behind twice to earn a point against Norwich in their last game, the first game under interim coach Freddie Ljungberg. Their next target is Brighton whom they host keeping in mind the fact that they need to end their winless run.

Meanwhile, Brighton are coming on the back of a 2-1 defeat against Liverpool. They are going through a tough run of fixture having played Leicester, Manchester United and Liverpool in the last 3. They would be happy if they come up with a point or more to begin the busy period.

Arsenal’s performance in EPL 2019:

Freddie Ljungberg drew his first game in charge and could make changes to his starting XI here.

Nicolas Pepe was rather ominously an unused substitute against Norwich and Ljungberg instead subbed on Bukayo Saka in search of the winner.

Mesut Ozil is likely to keep his place in the starting XI.

Hector Bellerin and Kieran Tierney will push for starts if they are fit enough.

Lucas Torreira could also benefit from any changes made by Arsenal’s caretaker manager.

Dani Ceballos still misses out with injury.

They are likely to use a 4-2-3-1 formation.

Brighton’s performance in EPL 2019:

Shane Duffy only made the bench against Liverpool with Adam Webster preferred at centre-back.

Solly March remains a doubt for Brighton, with Bernardo and Jose Izquierdo are ruled out.

Neal Maupay and Leandro Trossard will push for starts in midweek.

José Izquierdo and Bernardo are out injured.

They are likely to use 4-3-3 formation.

Arsenal vs Brighton: Predicted Line-up​

Arsenal

Bernd Leno; Kieran Tierney, David Luiz, Shkodran Mustafi, Hector Bellerin; Matteo Guendouzi, Granit Xhaka; Mesut Ozil, Joe Willock, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang; Alexandre Lacazette.

Brighton

Mat Ryan; Martin Montoya, Adam Webster, Lewis Dunk, Dan Burn; Davy Propper, Dale Stephens, Steven Alzate; Pascal Gross, Neal Maupay, Leandro Trossard.

EPL 2019: Arsenal vs Brighton Prediction

  1. The Gunners are winless in their last eight matches, though they have drawn six times in that run. Brighton might get the confidence but Arsenal might be able to end their winless run and hand Ljungberg his first win.
  2. Brighton have lost three in a row, albeit have faced Manchester United, Leicester and Liverpool in that time. They have lost five of their last six away from home but have scored in their last three. They might score once again. However, 3 points might look a bit difficult even though it can’t be ruled out.
  3. Arsenal have drawn their last 3 home matches in Premier League but might end the run.
  4. Brighton have lost their last 4 away matches in Premier League and it might become 5.
  5. Brighton have conceded at least 2 goals in their last 4 away matches in Premier League and have seen over 2.5 goals in their last 3 such games.
  6. Meanwhile, Arsenal have conceded at least 2 goals in their last 3 matches in Premier League.
  7. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has scored 10 goals in the league so far to join Tammy Abraham as the 2nd top scorer in the league. He is likely to continue to his goal scoring run.

For all the fantasy football geeks out there, we share prediction tips of league matches that will give them a better shot at predicting and winning. Starting with EPL 2019. 

Having opened an 8-point lead on top, and 11 over Manchester City, Liverpool gear for the Merseyside derby against a struggling Everton. Liverpool are riding high on confidence as they find some or the other way to steal 3 points. They are coming on the back of a 2-1 win over Brighton.

Meanwhile, an already underfire Marco Silva came under more misery following an injury time goal against Leicester and this could well prove to be Marco Silva’s final game in charge of Everton. The Toffees have only won three of their last 10 Premier League matches.

Liverpool’s performance in EPL 2019:

Adrian will start in goal on Wednesday as Alisson is suspended for the red card picked up against Brighton on Saturday.

James Milner and Naby Keita will push for starts in midfield if any changes are made by Jurgen Klopp.

Nathaniel Clyne, Joel Matip and Fabinho are still injured.

There’s no reason for Jurgen Klopp to change the 4-3-3 formation.

Everton’s performance in EPL 2019:

Marco Silva is on the brink of the sack after yet another defeat for Everton.

André Gomes, Jean-Philippe Gbamin and Cuco Martina are still out while Theo Walcott, Fabian Delph and Seamus Coleman could all be missing.

They are likely to use a 4-2-3-1 formation.

Liverpool vs Everton: Predicted Line-up​

Liverpool

Adrian; Trent Alexander-Arnold, Dejan Lovren, Virgil Van Dijk, Andrew Robertson; James Milner, Georginio Wijnaldum, Jordan Henderson; Mohamed Salah, Roberto Firmino, Sadio Mane.

Everton

Jordan Pickford; Djibril Sidibe, Yerry Mina, Michael Keane, Lucas Digne; Tom Davies, Morgan Schneiderlin; Alex Iwobi, Richarlison, Gylfi Sigurdsson; Dominic Calvert-Lewin.

EPL 2019: Liverpool vs Everton Prediction

  1. Liverpool are undefeated in their last 45 Premier League home matches.
  2. Liverpool have scored at least 2 goals in their last 14 home Premier League matches.
  3. Liverpool are undefeated in their last 22 home matches against Everton in all competitions.
  4. Liverpool have been winning at both half time and full time in 8 of their last 9 Premier League home matches.
  5. Liverpool have kept a clean sheet in their last 3 matches against Everton in all competitions. However, they have not kept a clean sheet in their last 12 games and are yet to keep a clean sheet at home this EPL 2019.
  6. Everton have lost 5 of their last 6 away Premier League matches.
  7. Liverpool have seen under 2.5 goals in their last 3 matches against Everton in all competitions. Meanwhile, there have been over 2.5 goals scored in Everton’s last 3 away Premier League games.
  8. Five of Liverpool’s last six victories have been by one-goal margins.
  9. There has only been one goal scored in the last three Merseyside derbies. It would be a shock if Liverpool didn’t win comfortably on Wednesday.
  10. Everton haven’t won a league game against Liverpool at Anfield since September 1999. The Toffees have drawn 9 and lost 10 since then.
  11. Liverpool are unbeaten in their last 17 Premier League games against Everton. It’s their longest ever unbeaten run against a specific opponent in the competition.
  12. Everton have failed to score in seven of their last 11 Premier League meetings with Liverpool.

EPL-2019-Chelsea-vs-Aston-Villa

For all the fantasy football geeks out there, we share prediction tips of league matches that will give them a better shot at predicting and winning. Starting with EPL 2019. 

A 1-0 loss to West Ham on Saturday denied Chelsea the chance to join Manchester City on the 3rd spot. A home game against Aston Villa to start the busy period is as bad as it could have been. However, they must need to regroup themselves quickly or else Spurs are approaching the top 4 at a really fast pace.

Meanwhile, Villa travel to Stamford Bridge having recorded four points from their last two fixtures against Newcastle United and Manchester United, a run that saw them move to 15th in the table.

Chelsea’s performance in EPL 2019:

Tammy Abraham, who helped fire Aston Villa to promotion last season on loan, will be eager to recover in time to face his former club following his hip injury and should be in line to replace the ineffective Olivier Giroud.

Antonio Rudiger and Ross Barkley are both nearing fitness but are less likely to be involved, while Ruben Loftus-Cheek remains a long term absentee.

Having been surprisingly rested from kick-off in defeat to West Ham both N’Golo Kante and Willian will surely return to the side, with Cesar Azpilicueta and Callum Hudson-Odoi also pushing for starts.

They are likely to return to 4-3-3 formation.

Aston Villa’s performance in EPL 2019:

Dean Smith will be forced into at least one change for the trip to Stamford Bridge, with Ahmed Elmohamady replacing Frederic Guilbert after the Frenchman picked up his fifth booking of the season on Sunday.

However, Anwar El Ghazi was forced off early on against Manchester United and is unlikely to be fit for the coming weeks, while some rotation should be expected having fielded the same line-up in back-to-back matches ahead of a busy period.

Marvelous Nakamba will be in line to return to the team in order to solidify the midfield, with both Douglas Luiz and Conor Hourihane at risk, while Bjorn Engels is back fit and competing with Ezri Konsa to partner Tyrone Mings at the back.

They are also likely to use 4-3-3.

Chelsea vs Aston Villa: Predicted Line-up

Chelsea

Kepa Arrizabalaga; Cesar Azpilicueta, Kurt Zouma, Fikayo Tomori, Emerson Palmieri; Jorginho, N’Golo Kante, Mateo Kovacic; Willian, Christian Pulisic, Tammy Abraham.

Aston Villa

Tom Heaton; Ahmed El Mohamady; Ezri Konsa, Tyrone Mings, Matt Targett; John McGinn, Marvelous Nakamba, Conor Hourihane; Trezeguet, Jack Grealish, Wesley.

EPL 2019: Chelsea vs Aston Villa Prediction

  1. Chelsea have won 8 of their last 9 matches against Aston Villa in all competitions. They have been winning at both half time and full time in the last 4 such matches.
  2. Chelsea have seen over 2.5 goals in 8 of their last 10 matches against Aston Villa in all competitions, having scored at least 2 goals in 9 of these 10 games. Meanwhile, there have been over 2.5 goals scored in 8 of Aston Villa’s last 9 Premier League games.
  3. There have been under 2.5 goals scored in Chelsea’s last 4 English Premier League home games. They have kept a clean sheet in 2 of these 4 games while failed to score themselves in 1.
  4. Aston Villa have conceded at least 2 goals in their last 3 away Premier League matches.
  5. Chelsea have won their last 4 games against Aston Villa by an aggregate of 15-1. They have never won 5 consecutive league games against them at Stamford Bridge.
  6. Aston Villa have picked up just 1 point from their last 39 available against sides starting in top 4.

Old Trafford, Manchester United Chelsea

EPL-2019-Manchester-United-vs-Tottenham

For all the fantasy football geeks out there, we share prediction tips of league matches that will give them a better shot at predicting and winning. Starting with EPL 2019. 

Jose Mourinho returns to ex club Manchester United as Tottenham Hotspur travel to Manchester continue his winning start at Spurs. 2 points and 4 places separate Spurs from their host with the winner likely to stay/break into top 6.

United have failed to win either of their last two fixtures in the Premier League while former boss Jose Mourinho has won his opening three games in charge of Spurs. Tottenham certainly have the momentum heading into Wednesday’s match and Mourinho will be desperate to get a victory against his old club, which would surely push Ole Gunnar Solskjaer closer to the sack.

Manchester United’s performance in EPL 2019:

Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will be desperate to welcome back at least one of Paul Pogba or Scott McTominay on Wednesday night.

Jesse Lingard could take Andreas Pereira’s place in the team against Tottenham, while Luke Shaw may replace Brandon Williams at left-back.

United are likely to use a 4-2-3-1 formation.

Tottenham’s performance in EPL 2019

Tottenham will be without four players for Wednesday’s trip to Old Trafford.

Harry Winks and Tanguy Ndombele are in competition for a starting berth in midfield.

Moussa Sissoko and Lucas Moura are in competition for a place on the wing.

Spurs are likely to use a 4-2-3-1 formation.

Danny Rose could be preferred to Jan Vertonghen at left-back, with Mourinho wary of United’s pace down the flanks.

Manchester United vs Tottenham: Predicted Line-up​

Manchester United

David De Gea; Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Victor Lindelof, Harry Maguire, Luke Shaw; Scott McTominay, Fred; Daniel James, Jesse Lingard, Marcus Rashford; Anthony Martial.

Tottenham

Paulo Gazzaniga; Serge Aurier, Toby Alderweireld, Jan Vertonghen, Danny Rose; Eric Dier, Tanguy Ndombele; Lucas Moura, Dele Alli, Son Heung-Min; Harry Kane.

EPL 2019: Manchester United vs Tottenham Prediction

  1. Spurs have conceded exactly 2 goals in each match under Jose Mourinho.

English Premere League Match Prediction (EPL 2019): Burnley vs Manchester City

Turf Moor, Burnley

epl-2019-Burnley-vs-Man-City

For all the fantasy football geeks out there, we share prediction tips of league matches that will give them a better shot at predicting and winning. Starting with EPL 2019. 

Manchester City are now a serious outsider in the title race, having dropped 11 points behind leaders Liverpool following their draw against West Ham Utd in the last game. In fact, they have dropped 3 points behind 2nd placed Leicester. They face a tricky trip to Burnley, whose 2-game winning run was ended by Crystal Palace on Saturday, at the EPL 2019.

Burnley have struggled for consistency at times, following up back-to-back 3-0 victories with a 2-0 defeat at home to Crystal Palace on Saturday – their fourth league defeat in their last six outings, after losing just 2 of first 8.

Burnley’s performance in EPL 2019:

Danny Drinkwater was an unused substitute for Burnley at the weekend and will hope to make his debut for the Clarets over the festive period.

Ashley Westwood returns from suspension, however, and is expected back in midfield.

Erik Pieters will hope to regain his starting spot at left-back given the quick turnaround between matches, given Charlie Taylor was forced to come off in the first half of the loss at the weekend with a hamstring problem.

Aaron Lennon and Jay Rodriguez could also benefit from any rotation applied by Sean Dyche.

Burnley will use a 4-3-3 formation.

Manchester City’s performance in EPL 2019:

Bernardo Silva, Rodri, Angelino and Joao Cancelo will hope to benefit from any rotation applied by Pep Guardiola following their 2-2 draw with Newcastle on Saturday.

Manchester City will still be without four players on Tuesday night, including Sergio Aguero, who joins Leroy Sane, Aymeric Laporte and Oleksandr Zinchenko.

The likes of Rodri, Bernardo Silva and Joao Cancelo all sat out at the weekend and will be hopeful of a recall.

Raheem Sterling and Kevin De Bruyne could be among the players to keep their places having both been on the scoresheet at the weekend, while Gabriel Jesus is likely to lead the line once again in Aguero’s absence.

They will likely use 4-3-3 formation.

Burnley vs Manchester City: Predicted Line-up

Burnley

Nick Pope; Phil Bardsley, James Tarkowski, Ben Mee, Erik Pieters; Jeff Hendrick, Ashely Westwood, Jack Cork, Dwight McNeil; Chris Wood, Ashley Barnes.

Man City

Ederson; Kyle Walker, John Stones, Fernandinho, Angelino; Kevin De Bruyne, Ilkay Gundogan, David Silva; Bernardo Silva, Gabriel Jesus, Raheem Sterling.

EPL 2019: Burnley vs Manchester City Prediction

  1. There have been over 2.5 goals scored in 13 of Man City’s last 15 Premier League games with Man City scoring at least 2 goals in 13 of these 15 matches.
  2. Man City have won 7 of their last 8 matches against Burnley in all competitions. However, they have only won 2 of their last 4 matches at Turf Moor.
  3. Man City have kept a clean sheet in their last 3 matches against Burnley in all competitions. However, they are without clean sheet in last 7 games in all competitions.
  4. Burnley’s winning streak lasted two matches after losing 2-0 at home to Crystal Palace on Saturday. The Clarets have lost four of their last six EPL games.
  5. Man City have not won back to back away games against Burnley in top-flight since March 1968. Meanwhile, Burnley have won their last 3 Premier League home games on Tuesday.
  6. Burnley have won 3 of their 5 Premier League home games against the reigning champions- only Manchester United have a higher ratio in such games.
  7. Raheem Sterling is 1 goal behind Sergio Aguero’s tally and might overtake him as club’s top scorer in the tournament this EPL 2019.
  8. Kevin de Bruyne might add to his tally of 9 assists.

Old Trafford, Manchester

EPL-Manchester-United vs-Aston-Villa

For all the fantasy football geeks out there, we share prediction tips of league matches that will give them a better shot at predicting and winning. Starting with EPL 2019. 

Manchester United will be looking to return to winning ways when they welcome Aston Villa to Old Trafford in the Premier League on Sunday afternoon.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side are currently ninth in the table on 17 points, while Villa sit 15th having collected 14 points from their opening 13 matches of the 2019-20 campaign.

Manchester United’s youngsters lost 2-1 away to Astana on Thursday night but Ole Gunnar Solskjaer should have a fresh team on Sunday after leaving his first-choice XI behind in England. 

Aston Villa ended a three-game losing streak with a solid 2-0 win at home to Newcastle on Monday night. Other than a 5-1 win at Norwich, Villa have struggled on the road this season

Manchester United’s performance in EPL 2019:

Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer left his entire first-team squad behind for Thursday’s long return trip to Kazakhstan, including first-team coaches Michael Carrick and Kieran McKenna, to prepare for Sunday’s welcome of Aston Villa.

Nemanja Matic has been sidelined for the past two months but may come straight into the starting XI on Sunday if fit enough after United struggled in midfield against Sheffield United last weekend.

Andreas Pereira was poor against Sheffield United and does not deserve to start on Sunday, but that depends entirely on whether Matic is available for the home side. Juan Mata did not travel in midweek and is an option to play further forward here.

Phil Jones was hauled off at half-time against Sheffield United and is unlikely to play here. As Axel Tuanzebe featured against Astana in midweek, the only chance of United playing a back three against Villa is if Marcos Rojo recovers from injury.

Luke Shaw made his long-awaited comeback from injury in midweek but will sit out against Villa. Brandon Williams scored his first senior goal last weekend and will hope to keep his place in the team ahead of Ashley Young.

Scott McTominay (ankle) could return for Man Utd, but Sunday’s match comes too soon for fellow midfielder Paul Pogba (ankle).

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s defensive options have been boosted by the return from injury of Luke Shaw (hamstring) and Axel Tuanzebe (hip). The duo both played a full 90 minutes in the midweek UEFA Champions League loss to Astana.

They are likely to use 4-2-3-1.

Aston Villa’s performance in EPL 2019:

Dean Smith has no reason to make changes from the side that beat Newcastle 2-0 on Monday night.

Bjorn Engels (hip) has trained all week and is available for selection by Aston Villa, but Jota (hernia) continues to be monitored.

Keinan Davis (hamstring) will resume jogging on Monday but is still deemed to be two to three weeks’ away while Jed Steer (calf) remains sidelined.

Conor Hourihane was key to ending Villa’s three-game losing streak and should be rewarded with another start here, while Anwar El Ghazi, Douglas Luiz and Ezri Konsa should all keep their places.

They are likely to keep the 4-3-3 formation.

Manchester United vs Aston Villa: Predicted Line-up

Man United

David de Gea; Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Victor Lindelof, Harry Maguire, Brandon Williams; Fred, Nemanja Matic; Daniel James, Juan Mata, Marcus Rashford; Anthony Martial.

Aston Villa

Tom Heaton; Frederic Guilbert, Ezri Konsa, Tyrone Mings, Matt Targett; Conor Hourihane, John McGinn, Douglas Luiz; Anwar El Ghazi, Wesley, Jack Grealish.

EPL 2019: Manchester United vs Aston Villa Prediction

  1. There have been over 2.5 goals scored in Aston Villa’s last 4 away games (Premier League).
  2. Aston Villa have lost five of their six away league matches this EPL 2019.
  3. Man Utd have won 10 of their last 11 matches against Aston Villa in all competitions. They haven’t lost to Villa since 2009. Ashley Young played for Villa on that occasion but will likely only make the bench for United here. The Red Devils are unbeaten in the subsequent 14 matches played between the two sides.
  4. The Red Devils are unbeaten at home in their last seven matches and have scored three goals in each of their last two at Old Trafford, as many as their previous six combined. Expect them to do so once again.
  5. With seven goals and four assists, Marcus Rashford has been directly involved in 58 per cent of Man Utd’s 19 Premier League goals this EPL 2019 – only Norwich City’s Teemu Pukki, with 69 per cent, has been involved in more for his side this season.
  6. Both Aston Villa and Man Utd have conceded a joint low of four first-half goals in the Premier League this season, level with Liverpool and Sheffield United.

Carrow Road, Norwich

epl-norwich-vs-arsenal

For all the fantasy football geeks out there, we share prediction tips of league matches that will give them a better shot at predicting and winning. Starting with EPL 2019. 

Arsenal take on Norwich City in the Premier League on Sunday afternoon with Freddie Ljungberg taking charge of his first game since replacing Unai Emery on an interim basis.

Norwich ended a seven-match winless run at Everton last weekend and they’ll look to claim another scalp when they welcome Arsenal to Carrow Road.

Arsenal are 8th in the table at the moment while Norwich are in the relegation zone. However, only 8 points separate the sides, the same difference that Arsenal have with top 4.

Norwich’s performance in EPL 2019:

Timm Klose and Josip Drmic all sit out the welcome of Arsenal.

Grant Hanley (groin) is getting nearer to a first-team return but Sunday’s match is too soon.

Jamal Lewis (knee) returned to team training for Norwich this week and will be monitored but Alex Tettey is unavailable for personal reasons.

Daniel Farke will hope to have Todd Cantwell (knock) available for selection as he looks at the possibility of naming the same XI that won at Everton last weekend.

They are likely to field a 4-2-3-1 formation.

Arsenal’s performance in EPL 2019:

Freddie Ljungberg takes over as interim boss following Unai Emery’s sacking on Friday.

The Swede is without Dani Ceballos (hamstring) for the trip to Norwich, while David Luiz (bruised ribs), Shkodran Mustafi (bruised foot) and Hector Bellerin (hamstring) will all be assessed.

However, Sead Kolasinac (hamstring) is available for selection.

Calum Chambers could therefore deputise at centre-back alongside Sokratis, while Konstantinos Mavropanos is also an option.

They are likely to use a 4-2-3-1 formation.

Norwich vs Arsenal: Predicted Line-up

Norwich

Tim Krul; Max Aarons, Christoph Zimmermann, Ben Godfrey, Sam Byram; Alexander Tettey, Tom Trybull; Kenny McLean, Todd Cantwell, Onel Hernandez; Teemu Pukki.

Arsenal

Bernd Leno; Hector Bellerin, Calum Chambers, Sokratis, Kieran Tierney; Granit Xhaka, Matteo Guendouzi; Nicolas Pepe, Joe Willock, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang; Alexandre Lacazette.

EPL 2019: Norwich vs Arsenal Prediction

  1. Norwich have been losing at both half time and full time in their last 3 home matches in Premier League.
  2. Norwich have seen under 2.5 goals in their last 4 matches against Arsenal in all competitions. However, they have conceded at least 2 goals in their last 5 home matches in Premier League.
  3. Norwich have lost their last 3 home matches in the Premier League. However, they are unbeaten in 50 per cent of their Premier League meetings with Arsenal, losing eight of their 16 previous encounters.
  4. There have been under 2.5 goals scored in Norwich’s last 3 games in the Premier League. Also, there have been under 2.5 goals scored in Arsenal’s last 3 away games Premier League.
  5. Arsenal are undefeated in their last 6 matches against Norwich in all competitions.
  6. The Gunners have won only once in their eight away matches, but the appointment of Freddie Ljungberg in an interim capacity will prove a boost.
  7. Emiliano Buendia has provided more assists (four) for the Canaries without finding the net for himself than any other Premier League player this EPL 2019.
  8. Arsenal’s Mesut Ozil scored his first ever Premier League goals against Norwich, netting twice in a 4-1 win at the Emirates in October 2013. To date, it’s the only time he’s scored more than once in a match in the competition.
  9. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has scored 80 per cent of Arsenal’s away goals in the Premier League this season, with four out of five. He has also netted eight goals in his 10 appearances against promoted sides for the Gunners.

EPL-Tottenham-vs-Bournemouth

For all the fantasy football geeks out there, we share prediction tips of league matches that will give them a better shot at predicting and winning. Starting with EPL 2019. 

After 2 back to back wins under Jose Mourinho. Tottenham Hotspur are seeking back-to-back Premier League wins for the first time since April as they look to climb into the top six when they host Bournemouth on Saturday.

Bournemouth, who sit one place and one point behind 10th-placed Spurs, could leapfrog Jose Mourinho’s men and move into the top half of the table with a victory.

Tottenham Spurs’s performance in EPL 2019:

Jose Mourinho is without injured quartet Hugo Lloris, Michel Vorm, Erik Lamela and Ben Davies for the welcome of Bournemouth.

The Tottenham boss hinted that he may rest some personnel for Saturday’s Premier League clash and so Jan Vertonghen and Tanguy Ndombele could both start here.

Christian Eriksen may start from the bench here despite coming on for Eric Dier after 30 minutes against Olympiacos.

A resurgent Dele Alli will start once again and might shine.

Jose Mourinho is likely to field a 4-2-3-1 formation.

Bournemouth’s performance in EPL 2019:

Simon Francis was sent off in the first half of Bournemouth’s 2-1 home defeat to Wolves and serves a one-match ban.

He joins injured quintet Dominic Solanke, David Brooks, Junior Stanislas, Charlie Daniels and Josh King on the sidelines.

Andrew Surman and Lloyd Kelly are both doubts for the Cherries, who could line up in a 4-4-1-1 formation.

They are likely to use a 4-4-1-1 formation.

Tottenham vs Bournemouth: Predicted Line-up

Tottenham

Paulo Gazzaniga; Danny Rose, Jan Vertonghen, Toby Alderweireld, Serge Aurier; Tanguy Ndombele, Harry Winks; Son Heung-Min, Dele Alli, Lucas Moura; Harry Kane.

Bournemouth

Aaron Ramsdale; Adam Smith, Steve Cook, Nathan Ake, Diego Rico; Arnaut Danjuma Groeneveld; Philip Billing, Jefferson Lerma, Harry Wilson; Ryan Fraser; Calum Wilson.

EPL 2019: Tottenham vs Bournemouth Prediction

  1. Tottenham have kept a clean sheet in their last 4 home matches against Bournemouth in all competitions while scoring 13 goals. Though clean sheet record looks in doubt, especially because they have kept fewer clean sheets than any other Premier League side this EPL 2019, they might be able to add a few more to the goals scorer column.
  2. Tottenham have won their last 4 home matches against Bournemouth in all competitions and should probably make it 5. Bournemouth have won just 1 of their 8 Premier League meetings with Spurs, it came the last time they faced.
  3. Harry Kane has scored seven goals in his six Premier League matches against the Cherries, though six of those strikes for Spurs came in his first three meetings. He has 7 goals in the current season of Premier League as well and should be able to add to the tally.
  4. Son Heung-min has also been useful for Spurs so far, having scored 4 goals and set up another 4 in the Premier League in the current campaign. He is likely to add to either tally.
  5. Eight of AFC Bournemouth’s 16 Premier League goals this EPL 2019 have come from set-piece situations (excluding penalties), the highest number and highest ratio (50 per cent) in the division. Given Spurs’ vulnerability in the defence, it might happen once again.
  6. AFC Bournemouth’s Ryan Fraser has provided more assists than any other player in the Premier League, with 17, since the start of last season.

EPL-Chelsea-vs-West Ham United

For all the fantasy football geeks out there, we share prediction tips of league matches that will give them a better shot at predicting and winning. Starting with EPL 2019. 

Chelsea are targeting a seventh win in eight Premier League matches when they host West Ham United on Saturday with an immediate response to their defeat at Manchester City last time out.

Meanwhile, West Ham United are aiming to end a seven-match winless run that has seen Manuel Pellegrini’s side slip to fourth from bottom, three points above the relegation zone.

Chelsea’s performance in EPL 2019:

Tammy Abraham was forced off shortly after the break in Chelsea’s 2-2 draw with Valencia on Wednesday night and may be replaced by Michy Batshuayi, particularly with next week’s midweek matches in mind.

Across 11 substitute appearances in the Premier League and Champions League, Batshuayi has featured for just 148 minutes, scoring goals against Southampton and Ajax respectively.

Ross Barkley, Callum Hudson-Odoi and Antonio Rudiger will all be assessed.

Ruben Loftus-Cheek, however, remains sidelined. Emerson should once again be preferred above Marcos Alonso.

Mason Mount, who has 4 goals, too remains in contention having lost his place after a few mediocre performance and Willian and Pulisic’s return to form.

Chelsea will stick to 4-3-3 formation.

West Ham Utd’s performance in EPL 2019:

Jack Wilshere is struggling with an on-going groin problem and West Ham hope he will return to training next week.

Issa Diop serves a one-match ban, however, after receiving his fifth yellow card of the season in the defeat and will hence miss the game.

Michail Antonio may come in for Andriy Yarmolenko on the right after scoring from the bench, while Fabian Balbuena will deputise for the suspended Diop.

West Ham are likely to use a 4-4-1-1 formation.

Chelsea vs West Ham United: Predicted Line-up

Chelsea

Kepa Arrizabalaga; Reece James, Kurt Zouma, Fikayo Tomori, Emerson Palmieri; Jorginho, N’Golo Kante, Mateo Kovacic; Christian Pulisic, Michy Batshuayi, Willian.

West Ham United

Roberto Jimenez; Ryan Fredericks, Fabian Balbuena, Aaron Cresswell, Angelo Ogbonna; Mark Noble, Declan Rice, Michail Antonio, Felipe Anderson; Robert Snodgrass; Sebastien Haller.

EPL 2019: Chelsea vs West Ham United Prediction

  1. Chelsea are undefeated in their last 14 home matches against West Ham in all competitions and should likely escape that again on Saturday.
  2. West Ham have conceded at least 3 goals in their last 3 matches in the Premier League.
  3. Chelsea have kept a clean sheet in their last 3 home matches in Premier League. Maybe, West Ham might end that run.
  4. West Ham have lost 5 of their last 6 matches in Premier League. It should probably increase by the end of the week.
  5. Chelsea are undefeated in 14 of their last 15 home matches in Premier League and might be able to do so once again.
  6. There have been under 2.5 goals scored in Chelsea’s last 3 home games in the Premier League while there have been over 2.5 goals scored in West Ham’s last 3 games. With 1 of them set to be broken, it looks to be Chelsea’s run of under 2.5 goals which might be scrapped off. Also, Chelsea have seen under 2.5 goals in their last 4 matches against West Ham in all competitions

epl-liverpool-vs-brighton

For all the fantasy football geeks out there, we share prediction tips of league matches that will give them a better shot at predicting and winning. Starting with EPL 2019. 

Liverpool, currently top of the table of EPL 2019, eight points clear of second-placed Leicester City, host Brighton with an eye on equalling their best-ever unbeaten run of 31 matches in top-flight history if they avoid defeat at Anfield.

Meanwhile, Graham Potter’s Brighton & Hove Albion look to return to winning ways after suffering back-to-back defeats to Manchester United and Leicester.

Liverpool’s performance in EPL 2019:

Fabinho left Anfield with a protective boot on Wednesday after suffering an ankle injury in Liverpool’s 1-1 draw with Napoli and the Reds face a nervous wait to determine the full extent of the problem.

Naby Keita will also be assessed, but Nathaniel Clyne and Joel Matip sit out the welcome of Brighton.

Mohamed Salah played no part in Liverpool’s 2-1 win at Crystal Palace last week, but should return to the XI, which would see Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain drop into midfield to cover for Fabinho.

Brighton’s performance in EPL 2019:

Aaron Connolly is back in training and should make the squad but this weekend will come too soon for Bernardo. Solly March is a doubt with a slight groin injury.

However, Jose Izquierdo is a long-term absentee for Brighton boss Graham Potter as the forward recovers from a knee injury.

Lewis Dunk returns from suspension, and his availability is a timely boost for Potter, while Pascal Groß may come in for Aaron Mooy from the side that started the 2-0 loss to Leicester.

Brighton are likely to use a 3-4-3 formation.

Liverpool vs Brighton: Predicted Line-up

Liverpool

Alisson; Trent Alexander-Arnold, Dejan Lovren, Virgil van Dijk, Andrew Robertson; Jordan Henderson, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Georginio Wijnaldum; Mohamed Salah, Roberto Firmino, Sadio Mane.

Brighton

Mat Ryan; Dan Burn, Shane Duffy, Lewis Dunk; Martin Montoya, Davy Propper, Dale Stephens, Solly March; Neal Maupay, Pascal Grob, Leandro Trossard.

EPL 2019: Liverpool vs Brighton Prediction

  1. Liverpool have won their last 13 Premier League matches at Anfield, their longest such run in the competition. The Reds did, however, enjoy their best ever run of 21 consecutive top-flight home victories between January and December 1972.
  2. Brighton aim to end a run of seven successive defeats in all competitions to Liverpool, during which they have conceded 22 goals and scored just five.
  3. Sadio Mane has scored 17 goals in his last 16 Premier League outings at Anfield. Indeed, since the start of last season his total of 22 goals at home is more than any other player in the Premier League.
  4. Since a 3-0 victory at Watford on the opening weekend, Brighton have not won in their five subsequent Premier League away matches (L4), losing each of their last three. The Seagulls last lost four in a row on the road between May and August 2018, the fourth match of which was at Liverpool.
  5. Liverpool are undefeated in their last 44 Premier League home matches. Liverpool might be too strong for Brighton to overturn this.
  6. Liverpool have scored at least 2 goals in 20 of their last 22 Premier League matches. Expect them to add to this tally.
  7. Liverpool have kept a clean sheet in their last 3 matches against Brighton in all competitions. This, however, might not happen given how shaky they have been in the recent games.
  8. Brighton have conceded at least 2 goals in their last 3 away matches in Premier League.

Manchester City’s pursuit of Premier League leaders Liverpool will continue on Saturday afternoon when they make the trip to Newcastle United. Pep Guardiola’s side are currently third in the table – nine points off the summit – while Newcastle are down in 14th spot having suffered a 2-0 loss away to Aston Villa in the Monday Night Football.

Meanwhile, Newcastle are 14th with 4 wins, 3 draws and 6 defeat. Newcastle, who actually lead the head-to-head record 72 wins to City’s 68, are aiming to extend their unbeaten home run to six Premier League matches and move into the top half of the table.

Newcastle United’s performance in EPL 2019:

Sean Longstaff is available following suspension and could come into the side at the expense of either Jonjo Shelvey or Isaac Hayden.

Jamaal Lascelles and Matt Ritchie sit out the welcome of Manchester City through injury, while Florian Lejeune is still working his way back to full fitness following a long spell on the sidelines.

Fabian Schar may come into the XI that started the 2-0 loss at Aston Villa.

Newcastle are likely to use a 5-4-1 formation.

Manchester City’s performance in EPL 2019:

Sergio Aguero joins Aymeric Laporte, Leroy Sane and Oleksandr Zinchenko on the sidelines, which should pave the way for Gabriel Jesus to lead the line.

Bernardo Silva is available following a one-match ban and could start at the expense of Riyad Mahrez on the right.

Joao Cancelo has been featuring prominently from right-back at Kyle Walker’s expense of late and may continue despite playing the full 90 minutes against Shakhtar Donetsk on Tuesday night.

City should stick to the 4-3-3 formation.

Newcastle vs Man City: Predicted Line-up

Newcastle

Martin Dubravka; DeAndre Yedlin, Fabian Schar, Ciaran Clark, Paul Dummett, Jetro Willems; Miguel Almiron, Sean Longstaff, Isaac Hayden, Allan Saint-Maximin; Joelinton.

Man City

Ederson; Joao Cancelo, Fernandinho, John Stones, Benjamin Mendy; David Silva, Rodri, Kevin De Bruyne; Raheem Sterling, Gabriel Jesus, Bernardo Silva.

EPL 2019: Newcastle vs Man City Prediction

  1. Man City have won 23 of their last 27 Premier League matches. They should add another number to it.
  2. There have been over 2.5 goals scored in 12 of Man City’s last 14 games (Premier League).
  3. Man City have scored at least 2 goals in 12 of their last 14 Premier League matches and it might happen again.
  4. Newcastle have seen over 2.5 goals in their last 3 matches against Man City in all competitions. It might be another such day.
  5. City have won 23 of their last 27 top-flight matches coming into this clash and should probably add another.
  6. Kevin de Bruyne leads the assist chart with 9 and should be able to add to it.
  7. Newcastle United haven’t lost at home in Premier League since the opener and are aiming to extend than run to six Premier League matches and move into the top half of the table. However, that might be a big task to ask.
  8. The Magpies have only conceded four goals at St James’ Park this season. Only Leicester City have shipped fewer at home, with three. However, Man City will increase that tally.
  9. Man City have scored in their last 21 Premier League matches against Newcastle, winning 18 of them. Only against Fulham have they had a longer scoring streak in the competition, with 22 matches.
  10. Riyad Mahrez is one goal away from becoming the first Algerian to reach 50 in the Premier League and might come from bench to do so.

EPL-2019-Sheffield-United-vs-Manchester-United

For all the fantasy football geeks out there, we share prediction tips of league matches that will give them a better shot at predicting and winning. Starting with EPL 2019. 

Fifth-placed Sheffield United are targeting a third consecutive home win and clean sheet after beating Arsenal 1-0 and Burnley 3-0 in their latest outings at Bramall Lane. Meanwhile, Manchester United, who are one point behind their hosts, are looking to record back-to-back Premier League wins for the first time this EPL 2019.

Sheffield United’s performance in EPL 2019:

Sheffield United will be forced into at least one change on Sunday, as Dean Henderson cannot start against his parent club. His absence is a big blow but hands 29-year-old Simon Moore a Premier League debut against Manchester United.

Chris Wilder will be sweating on the fitness of key centre-back John Egan after he limped off for Ireland with a calf injury at the start of the week. Veteran Phil Jagielka is on standby to deputise if required.

Lys Mousset was in great form for Sheffield United before the international break and will hope to continue in attack on Sunday. He will be joined by one of David McGoldrick or Callum Robinson.

Ravel Morrison came through the United academy but is unlikely, but former Red Oliver Norwood will start against his boyhood club.

They will stick to the 3-5-2 system that’s working wonders for them.

Manchester United’s performance in EPL 2019:

Manchester United’s injury woes are starting to ease, with Diogo Dalot, Nemanja Matic, Luke Shaw and Axel Tuanzebe all back in training. None are expected to start here, however.

Ashley Young is available again after serving a one-match ban before the international break. He should regain his place at left-back despite another impressive showing from Brandon Williams last time out for the Red Devils.

Scott McTominay has been nursing an ankle injury in recent weeks but is expected to start against Sheffield United. Paul Pogba is nearing a first-team return but won’t be ready until next month.

Harry Maguire started his career at Sheffield United and will hope for a good response when he returns to Bramall Lane.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is likely to field a 4-2-3-1 formation.

Manchester United vs Arsenal: Predicted Line-up

Sheffield United

Simon Moore; Jack O’Connell, John Egan, Chris Basham; George Baldock, John Lundstram, Oliver Norwood, John Fleck, Enda Stevens; David McGoldrick, Lys Mousset.

Manchester United

David de Gea; Aaron Wan-Bissake, Victor Lindelof, Harry Maguire, Ashley Young; Scott McTominay, Fred; Daniel James, Andreas Pereira, Marcus Rashford; Anthony Martial.

EPL 2019: Sheffield United vs Manchester United Prediction

  1. John Lundstram has scored three goals in his 12 Premier League appearances, as many as in his previous 55 league matches combined. He has already equalled his best tally for a season, having struck three times in 2015/16 and 2017/18. With United’s vulnerability at the back, he might improve that tally.
  2. All of Man Utd’s Premier League goals this EPL 2019 have been scored by players aged 23 and under, with Anthony Martial the oldest at 23 years 326 days.
  3. Marcus Rashford, who has netted five goals in his last five matches in all competitions for Man Utd, is looking to score in a third consecutive fixture for the Red Devils for the first time since September 2017. He has scored 6 goals in the league so far.
  4. There have been under 2.5 goals scored in 7 of Sheff Utd’s last 8 Premier League games. They have conceded just 8 goals in the league so far – 2nd lowest, and it might be another low-scoring thriller. Also, there have been under 2.5 goals scored in 6 of Man Utd’s last 7 away Premier League games.
  5. Manchester United have failed to win 9 of their last 10 away Premier League matches. Don’t be surprised if United drop points once again.
  6. Sheff Utd are undefeated in their last 5 Premier League matches and might make it 6 games.
  7. The Blades have already played Chelsea, Arsenal, Tottenham and Liverpool and only lost to the latter. They have beaten Arsenal at home and held both Tottenham and Chelsea.

English Premere League Match Prediction (EPL 2019): Manchester City vs Chelsea

Etihad Stadium, Manchester

EPL-2020-Manchester City vs Chelsea

Fourth-placed Manchester City are looking to bounce back from their defeat at Liverpool last time out and leapfrog Chelsea, who sit one point above them, whom they host on Saturday.

Meanwhile, Frank Lampard’s Blues are targeting a seventh straight Premier League victory, while they can also secure an eighth consecutive away win in all competitions for the first time.

Manchester City’s performance in EPL 2019:

Pep Guardiola has plenty to ponder after Manchester City dropped nine points behind Liverpool before the international break after a 3-1 defeat to their rivals. The gap could even be 12 if Liverpool beat Crystal Palace before this match.

Rodrigo and David Silva made remarkable recoveries to make the matchday squad against Liverpool and are both expected to start here, while Guardiola will also hope to have Ederson available. 

Bernardo Silva serves a one-match ban this weekend after admitting a breach of FA rules. His absence should ensure both Raheem Sterling and Riyad Mahrez start against Chelsea.

Sergio Aguero and Gabriel Jesus are in competition for a starting berth in attack, though Jesus could also feature from one of the wings.

Angelino was a surprise starter against Liverpool last time out for City and should be replaced at left-back by Benjamin Mendy.

As neither John Stones nor Nicolas Otamendi have convinced of late, it wouldn’t be a surprise if Fernandinho and Rodri started at centre-back.

Pep Guardiola is likely to stick to 4-3-3.

Chelsea’s performance in EPL 2019:

A slight hip injury forced Christian Pulisic to pull out of the USA squad during the international break but Frank Lampard will hope to have him available here.

Jorginho will return to the starting XI after serving a one-match ban before the international break. It will be interesting to see how Lampard fits Jorginho, N’Golo Kante, Mateo Kovacic and Mason Mount into the same XI now everyone is available.

Kovacic would usually have dropped out of the team but he has played so well for Chelsea of late. Mount may even push into the front three at the expense of the likes of Pulisic or Callum Hudson-Odoi.

Cesar Azpilicueta will return at right-back on Saturday after dropping out of the team before the break, but there is still some uncertainty who will start at left-back between Emerson and Marcos Alonso.

Ross Barkley failed to recover from injury in time to stay in Gareth Southgate’s England squad during the break and remains a doubt here. He would only make the bench at best here, anyway.

Chelsea, too, should field 4-3-3.

Manchester City vs Chelsea: Predicted Line-up

Manchester City

Ederson; Kyle Walker, John Stones, Fernandinho, Benjamin Mendy; Kevin De Bruyne, Rodri, David Silva; Riyad Mahrez, Sergio Aguero, Raheem Sterling.

Chelsea

Kepa Arrizabalaga; Cesar Azpilicueta, Kurt Zouma, Fikao Tomori, Emerson; N’Golo Kante, Jorginho, Mateo Kovacic; Willian, Tammy Abraham, Mason Mount

EPL 2019: Manchester City vs Chelsea prediction

  1. Manchester City have won 23 of their last 26 home matches (Premier League). Chelsea have won their last 6 Premier League matches. However, Chelsea’s run might be halted.
  2. There have been over 2.5 goals scored in 11 of Man City’s last 13 Premier League games and Chelsea’s last 6 away games and this game is expected to another goal-fest.
  3. Manchester City have kept a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 matches against Chelsea in all competitions. However, given their struggles so far this season and Chelsea’s dominance – they have scored the most goals on the road (18)- City might struggle to keep clean sheet.
  4. Chelsea have scored at least 2 goals in their last 5 away Premier League matches.
  5. Chelsea have won their last six matches in the Premier League and have won five in a row away from home. They are the league’s top scorers on the road this season (18 goals).
  6. Manchester City have scored the most Premier League goals at home this season 19.
  7. Sergio Aguero has scored 10 Premier League goals against Chelsea, more than any other player in the competition. The Argentinian has netted eight goals in his last six outings.
  8. Tammy Abraham’s tally of seven away goals is the best return by a Premier League player in 2019/20. It is equal to, or better than, 15 of the other 19 clubs in the division.
  9. Christian Pulisic, who has scored five goals in his last three Premier League matches, can become the first American to score in four consecutive appearances in the competition.

English Premier League Match Prediction (EPL 2019): Crystal Palace vs Liverpool

Selhurst Park, London

EPL 2020-Crystal Palace vs Liverpool

For all the fantasy football geeks out there, we share prediction tips of league matches that will give them a better shot at predicting and winning. Starting with EPL 2019. 

Leaders Liverpool are looking for their fourth straight Premier League victory, and their fourth in a row at Selhurst Park as they travel to face Crystal Palace on Saturday. They lead Leicester and Chelsea by 8 points, while their real threat is expected to come from Manchester City, who are 1 point further behind.

Meanwhile, Crystal Palace are aiming to avoid a third successive defeat against a top-three club, having lost 2-0 to both Leicester City and Chelsea in their latest outings.

Crystal Palace’s performance in EPL 2019:

A foot injury forced Wilfried Zaha off in Crystal Palace’s 2-0 defeat to Chelsea before the international break and former Liverpool manager Roy Hodgson will be desperate to have his star man available here.

Former Liverpool centre-back Mamadou Sakho will miss out once more for the Eagles, while Connor Wickham remains sidelined.

Should Joel Ward fail to recover from a groin injury in time, former Martin Kelly will start at right-back against his former club on Saturday.

Another former Liverpool player, Christian Benteke, may have to settle for a place on the bench despite scoring twice for Belgium on Tuesday.

Andros Townsend or Jeffrey Schlupp will occupy one of the wide areas, unless Zaha fails to recover from injury in time, in which case both will start.

Hodgson is likely to field a 4-5-1 formation.

Liverpool’s performance in EPL 2019:

Liverpool saw a number of players forced out of the international break and will have to check on those ahead of Saturday’s trip to Selhurst Park.

Illness kept Jordan Henderson out of England’s final Euro 2020 qualifier, while Joe Gomez had to withdraw from the Three Lions’ squad with a knee injury picked up in training.

It has been reported neither Mohamed Salah nor Andrew Robertson are expected to recover from ankle injuries in time to make it this weekend.

Xherdan Shaqiri is at least back in training for Liverpool and will hope to take Salah’s spot in the team, but it’s more likely Mane will swap over to the right wing and Divock Origi will come in on the left. James Milner is the obvious replacement for Robertson, meanwhile.

Virgil van Dijk withdrew from the Netherlands squad for personal reasons last weekend but should be available for Jurgen Klopp’s side here.

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain has been in terrific form of late but may have to settle for a place on the bench at Selhurst Park.

Jurgen Klopp will stick to his preferred 4-3-3 formation.

Arsenal vs Southampton: Predicted Line-up

Crystal Palace

Wayne Hennessey; Martin Kelly, James Tomkins, Gary Cahill, Patrick Van Aanholt; Andros Townsend, James McArthur, Luka Milivojevic, James McCarthy, Wilfried Zaha; Jordan Ayew.

Liverpool

Alisson; Trent Alexander-Arnold, Dejan Lovren, Virgil van Dijk, James Milner; Oxlade-Chamberlain, Jordan Henderson, Georginio Wijnaldum; Sadio Mane, Roberto Firmino, Divock Origi.

EPL 2019: Crystal Palace vs Liverpool prediction

  1. Luka Milivojević has created more chances (15) and made more interceptions (24) in the Premier League than any other Palace player this EPL 2019.
  2. Sadio Mane has scored more Premier League goals (7) than any other Liverpool player this EPL 2019. He can become the third Liverpool player to score in five consecutive Premier League matches against an opponent, after Michael Owen against Newcastle United and Luis Suarez against Norwich City.
  3. Palace are aiming to avoid losing against Liverpool for the first time in five Premier League contests. Also, the Eagles haven’t lost a third consecutive home league match since March 2018, but the third fixture in that run came against Liverpool, with a 2-1 defeat.
  4. Liverpool have had more different goalscorers than any other side in the Premier League this season, with 13, while Palace have had the fewest, with four. It means 72 per cent of the 18 outfield players Liverpool have used have found the net, another league-high.
  5. Liverpool have won 20 of their last 21 Premier League matches. Expect them to do so once again.
  6. Liverpool have scored at least 2 goals in 19 of these 21 games. Though Salah might miss the game, Liverpool should be able to score 2 once again.
  7. There have been over 2.5 goals scored in 10 of Liverpool’s last 12 Premier League games. Again, it’s more because of their attacking threats than the opposition team scoring. It is likely to happen again.
  8. There have been under 2.5 goals scored in Crystal Palace’s last 6 Premier League home games, a run that is at risk.
  9. Crystal Palace have conceded at least 2 goals in their last 4 matches (Premier League).
  10. Crystal Palace are winless in their last four matches- they have played Manchester City, Arsenal, Leicester and Chelsea in that time. They have conceded exactly two goals in each of those matches.

EPL-2019-Arsenal vs Southampton

For all the fantasy football geeks out there, we share prediction tips of league matches that will give them a better shot at predicting and winning. Starting with EPL 2019. 

After a bright start to the season, Arsenal have seen slump in their form. Winless in their last 4 English Premier League games, Arsenal host strugglers Southampton on Saturday with an eye on breaking into the top 5. The international break should have given them a much-needed boost, as they lost 2-0 to Leicester in their last game.

Meanwhile, Southampton can also consider that they have progressed in the last 2 games. Since losing 9-0 to Leicester, they have lost the next 2 league games by 2-1.

Arsenal’s performance in EPL 2019:

Dani Ceballos is still out for Arsenal with a hamstring injury sustained before the international break.

Granit Xhaka played for Switzerland during the break but is unlikely to feature for the Gunners on Saturday.

Arsenal supporters will finally hope to see Hector Bellerin and Kieran Tierney started a league game together.

Sokratis will hope for a recall after losing his place in the team against Leicester before the break.

Unai Emery needs to find a system where Nicolas Pepe, Alexandre Lacazette and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang all start.

Arsenal are likely to use 4-2-3-1 formation.

Southampton’s performance in EPL 2019:

Michael Obafemi withdrew from Ireland’s U-21 squad through injury during the international break and remains a doubt for Southampton here.

Cedric Soares recovered from injury before the international break and Ralph Hasenhuttl will also recover Ryan Bertrand from suspension this weekend.

Southampton can’t stop leaking goals at the moment and Hasenhuttl needs to settle on his best defence as quickly as possible.

Southampton will use 3-4-3 formation.

Arsenal vs Southampton: Predicted Line-up

Arsenal

Bernd Leno; Hector Bellerin, Sokratis, David Luiz, Kieran Tierney; Lucas Torreira, Mattero Guendouzi; Mesut Ozil Nicolas Pepe, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang; Alexandre Lacazette.

Southampton

Alex McCarthy; Cedric, Jan Bednarek, Jack Stephens, Jannik Vestergaard; Ryan Bertrand, James Ward-Prowse, Oriol Romeu, Yan Valery; Danny Ings, Nathan Redmond, Moussa Djenepo.

EPL 2019: Arsenal vs Southampton prediction

  1. Sixth-placed Arsenal are seeking their first win in five matches after slipping eight points outside the top four. The Gunners have only won two of their last 10 Premier League matches but a home game against Southampton is the first thing they would have asked to recover from such slump.
  2. Southampton have lost six of their last seven league matches, including last 3, and are now only one point off last place but might find themselves there at the end of the week.
  3. Arsenal are unbeaten in their last 24 home league matches against Southampton (W18 D6), since November 1987 and the streak might extend for another year.
  4. The Gunners have won their last 32 Premier League home matches against sides starting the day in the relegation zone. Their last such defeat came against West Ham United in April 2007. They might survive another day.
  5. Seven of the eight points earned by Southampton this season, or 88 per cent, have come in away matches. A positive ahead of the game but the points should stay that way.
  6. Danny Ings has scored in five Premier League matches this EPL 2019 but is yet to win any of them (D1 L4). Given, Arsenal’s vulnerability in the back, he might find the back of the net once again.
  7. Southampton have been losing at both half time and full time in 5 of their last 7 matches (Premier League).
  8. There have been over 2.5 goals scored in 6 of Southampton’s last 7 games (Premier League). With the not so strong back force that both the side possess, the record might see another game. Also, Arsenal have scored at least 2 goals in 5 of their last 6 matches against Southampton in all competitions.
  9. There have been under 2.5 goals scored in 5 of Arsenal’s last 6 games (Premier League). This might not survive the test on Saturday.
  10. Southampton have conceded at least 2 goals in 6 of their last 7 matches (Premier League).
  11. Arsenal are undefeated in their last 7 home matches (Premier League).
  12. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has scored 8 goals so far in the league and might be able to score once again.

EPL 2019-West Ham vs Tottenham

For all the fantasy football geeks out there, we share prediction tips of league matches that will give them a better shot at predicting and winning. Starting with EPL 2019. 

All eyes will be on Jose Mourinho, who returns to Premier League after replacing Mauricio Pochettino at Spurs when they travel to face West Ham on Saturday. They are currently placed 14th in the table, only a point above their opponent West Ham, who have 13 points.

West Ham’s performance in EPL 2019:

Manuel Pellegrini has confirmed Roberto Jimenez will continue in goal despite his poor form. Though Pellegrini has little choice with No.1 goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski out injured.

West Ham’s Mark Noble and Michail Antonio trained this week without any problem and could be in contention, says Manuel Pellegrini, who reports no fresh injury concerns. Lukasz Fabianski (hip) is a long-term absentee.

Mark Noble, Jack Wilshere and Michail Antonio will be included in the matchday squad after training all week without any problems.

Angelo Ogbonna and Andriy Yarmolenko may come into the side that lost 3-0 at Burnley.

They are likely to use 4-5-1 formation

Tottenham’s performance in EPL 2019:

Hugo Lloris and Jan Vertonghen are ruled out for Tottenham ahead of their trip to West Ham.

Michel Vorm (calf) is also out while Tanguy Ndombele (groin) is doubtful. Erik Lamela is a doubt with a thigh problem and will be assessed ahead of this one.

It’s tough to see how Spurs will line up following the Wednesday morning appointment of Jose Mourinho.

However, they are likely to use 4-2-3-1 formation.

West Ham vs Tottenham: Predicted Line-up

West Ham

Roberto Jimenez; Ryan Fredricks, Angelo Ogbonna, Issa Diop, Aaron Cresswell; Declan Rice, Mark Noble, Declan Rice, Pablo Fornals, Felipe Anderson; Sebastien Haller.

Tottenham

Paulo Gazzaniga; Juan Foyth, Davinson Sanchez, Toby Alderweireld, Ben Davies; Tanguay Ndombele, Eric Dier; Moussa Sissoko, Christian Eriksen, Son Heung-Min; Harry Kane.

EPL 2019: West Ham vs Tottenham Prediction

  1. Tottenham have failed to win their last 12 away Premier League matches. However, the away team have won 5 of the last 6 meetings between these sides in all competitions and Spurs look likely to win a third consecutive top-flight away match against the Hammers for the first time.
  2. Tottenham have been winning at both half time and full time in their last 3 away matches against West Ham in all competitions.
  3. West Ham have conceded at least 2 goals in 5 of their last 6 Premier League matches and with Harry Kane and Son Heung-Min in Spurs’ line-up, expect the Hammers to concede once again.
  4. West Ham have failed to win their last 6 Premier League matches. Though they were the first team to beat Spurs at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, they might not be able to do so on Jose Mourinho’s 1st game in-charge.
  5. West Ham are looking to secure consecutive league wins over Spurs for the first time since 2013-14 but might have to wait for another year to erase that struggling record.
  6. Harry Kane is Spurs’ top scorer so far and has been in a great form in the Euro qualifiers – where he finished the top scorer – and should finally be able to score after failing to do so in Spurs last 3 games.
  7. Jose Mourinho looks likely to end Tottenham Hotspur’s run of 12 Premier League away matches without victory.
  8. West Ham United are looking for their first win in seven matches after dropping to 16th but are least likely to do so.
  9. Spurs have gone 83 Premier League matches without a 0-0 draw, the third-longest such run after Manchester United (114 matches between May 1999 and May 2002) and Ipswich Town (87 matches between August 1994 and September 2001).
  10. Harry Kane has scored 28 goals in 45 Premier League London derbies. Only Thierry Henry (43), Teddy Sheringham (32) and Frank Lampard (32) have netted more in such matches.

Anfield, Liverpool

EPL 2019-Liverpool vs Manchester City

For all the fantasy football geeks out there, we share prediction tips of league matches that will give them a better shot at predicting and winning. 

Leaders Liverpool host Manchester City in a what is expected to be a thrilling encounter which could prove to be vital in the title race of EPL 2019, even though every team has played just 11 games. Liverpool and City are in the top 2 with defending champions City trailing Liverpool by 6 points. A defeat for City will increase the lead to 9 points and might even send them 3rd in the table. Meanwhile, a win will give them a much-needed boost in the campaign ahead on the international break.

Liverpool's Performance in EPL 2019

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain must be seriously knocking on the door for a start after a few eye-catching displays for Liverpool.

Jordan Henderson missed out through illness in midweek and could make way for Oxlade-Chamberlain if he fails to recover in time.

Fabinho is on four yellow cards and was not risked last weekend ahead of this match. He will return to the starting XI on Sunday.

Dejan Lovren will once again get the nod ahead of Joe Gomez at centre-back with Joel Matip still sidelined with a knee injury.

Jurgen Klopp is likely to stick to his favoured 4-3-3 formation.

Manchester City's Performance in EPL 2019

Manchester City’s preparations in midweek couldn’t have gone worse with Ederson getting injured and Claudio Bravo being sent off during their 1-1 Champions League draw with Atalanta.

The injury is reportedly not serious and Ederson might recover, failing which Bravo might get the nod.

David Silva was ruled out of this fixture last weekend and he joins Leroy Sane, Aymeric Laporte, Rodrigo and Oleksandr Zinchenko on the sidelines.

Pep Guardiola may be tempted to push Fernandinho back into central midfield and start Bernardo Silva on the right wing over Riyad Mahrez.

City too are likely to use a 4-3-3 formation.

Liverpool vs Manchester City: Predicted Line-up

Liverpool

 Alisson; Andy Robertson, Virgil van Dijk, Dejan Lovren, Trent Alexander-Arnold; Georginio Wijnaldum, Fabinho, Jordan Henderson; Sadio Mane, Roberto Firmino, Mohamed Salah.

Manchester City

Ederson; Kyle Walker, John Stones, Fernandinho, Benjamin Mendy; Kevin de Bruyne, Ilkay Gundogan, Bernardo Silva; Riyad Mahrez, Sergio Aguero, Raheem Sterling.

EPL 2019: Liverpool vs Manchester City Prediction:

  1. Liverpool are undefeated in their last 45 home matches in the English Premier League, last losing in April 2017. They might once again escape with at least 1 point.
  2. Liverpool are undefeated in their last 20 home matches against Man City in all competitions. However, City have lost just 1 of the last 5 league games against the Reds.
  3. Jurgen Klopp’s side have conceded in last 8 games in all competitions and in each of their last 5 league matches at Anfield and are unlikely to stop that leak. City have actually failed to score in four of their last five visits to Anfield but Liverpool are not as strong at the back at the moment as they have been recently.
  4. Sadio Mane has scored 6 goals and is likely to trouble the struggling City defence and may add to that tally.
  5. Sergio Aguero has scored 9 goals while Kevin De Bruyne has the same number of assists. Their experience and quality mean they will trouble a Liverpool defence which is yet to reach its last season’s form.
  6. Manchester City have failed to finish 3 of their last 5 games in all competitions with 11 players. Despite the expected high tempo of the game, it’s something that’s difficult to happen. However, they managed just 1 clean sheet in the said period and may struggle to do so once again.
  7. Manchester City have won 22 of their last 25 Premier League matches. However, it’s tough for them to continue that run.
  8. Liverpool have scored at least 2 goals in their last 12 home matches in the Premier League and there have been over 2.5 goals scored in 9 of their last 11 Premier League games. Meanwhile, there have been over 2.5 goals scored in 10 of Man City’s last 12 Premier League games. Given the attacking threats both sides possess, it might be another high scoring game.
  9. Man City have scored at least 2 goals in 11 of their last 12 Premier League matches but might have to settle for less than that.
  10. Roberto Firmino has had a hand in seven goals in his eight Premier League matches against Man City, scoring four and assisting three. He has both scored and set up a goal in three different meetings with the Cityzens.

Old Trafford, Manchester

EPL 2019-Manchester United vs Brighton Hove Albion

For all the fantasy football geeks out there, we share prediction tips of league matches that will give them a better shot at predicting and winning. Starting with EPL 2019. 

Manchester United return to Old Trafford after back-to-back away trips to host Brighton & Hove Albion on Sunday.

United bounced back from their 1-0 defeat to Bournemouth in their last league game with a 3-0 win over Partizan in the Champions League on Wednesday, a game their boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer called a template for them for the rest of the season.

Meanwhile, Brighton & Hove Albion have climbed above United and sit eighth in the table after three wins in their last four outings. 2 points separate them from 10th placed United.

Brighton boss Graham Potter’s only win as a Premier League player came against Man Utd, with Southampton in 1996/97, and Solskjaer was among his opponents that day.

Manchester United’s performance in EPL 2019:

A back injury kept Victor Lindelof out of Thursday’s encounter with Partizan Belgrade and he remains a doubt. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer heaped praise on Marcos Rojo after Thursday’s display and he will start if Lindelof fails to recover in time.

Scott McTominay is a major doubt after limping off against Partizan with an ankle injury. He tried to carry on but eventually had to come off. Nemanja Matic and Paul Pogba are also out.

Ashley Young is suspended after picking up his fifth yellow card of the Premier League campaign last weekend, which should see Brandon Williams make his full league debut at left-back for the Red Devils with Luke Shaw still unavailable.

Juan Mata might replace Andreas Pereira after their contrasting performances against Partizan.

Mason Greenwood scored another goal in midweek but Daniel James is expected to start ahead of the teenager.

United are likely to use 4-2-3-1 formation.

Brighton’s performance in EPL 2019:

Adam Webster was stretchered off with an ankle injury in Brighton’s win over Norwich last weekend and is expected to miss out on Sunday. Bernardo and Jose Izquierdo are still sidelined for Brighton.

Shane Duffy scored from the bench last weekend and will start in place of Webster at Old Trafford. Leandro Trossard also impressed as a substitute with a goal and an assist and will pressure Pascal Gross and Steven Alzate for a place on the wing.

Lewis Dunk will incur a one-match ban in the Premier League with his next booking in the competition.

Brighton are expected to field a 4-4-2 formation.

Manchester United vs Brighton Hove: Predicted Line-up

Manchester United

David de Gea; Brandon Williams, Marcos Rojo, Harry Maguire, Aaron Wan-Bissaka; Fred, Scott McTominay; Marcus Rashford, Andreas Pereira, Daniel James; Anthony Martial.

Brighton

Mat Ryan; Martin Montoya, Shane Duffy, Lewis Dunk, Dan Burn; Pascal Groß, Davy Propper, Dale Stephens, Steven Alzate; Aaron Connolly, Neal Maupay.

EPL 2019: Manchester United vs Liverpool prediction

  1. Manchester United are unbeaten in all 11 of their home matches against Brighton in all competitions, winning nine and drawing two. However, surprisingly Brighton have won 2 and lost 2 of their 4 head to head games in the Premier League, with both the sides taking the spoils at their home- by one goal. United might edge Brighton to peep them in the table as well, however, the one-goal difference history might not stay after the game.
  2. On three occasions since the start of last season, two players have come off the bench to score for Brighton in the Premier League, twice more than any other side. It might be tough, given United have been faring ok at home, but don’t write this off completely.
  3. Brighton have failed to win 33 of their last 37 away Premier League matches and United might be able to stretch their unbeaten run against Brighton at home.
  4. Brighton have won 3 of their last 4 games. However, all 3 were at home and they are winless on the road.
  5. There have been under 2.5 goals scored in 7 of Manchester United’s last 8 Premier League games. However, given the defensive woes of both the sides- United have conceded 11 goals while Brighton have leaked 15 in the league so far this season, there might be a few goals to entertain the crowd.
  6. Neal Maupay has scored 4 goals, just one less than Marcus Rashford, and might find the back of the net once again, given United’s defensive struggles- they have just one clean sheet in the league since their opening round win- don’t be surprised if Maupay adds to his tally.
  7. Anthony Martial has scored 3 goals and has 1 assist despite playing just 6 games in the league so far this EPL 2019. He might once again get his name on the goal-scorer sheet.
  8. Rashford has scored 5 goals so far in the league this season, but 4 of them have come against sides seating in the top 4 at the moment. Though, he might trouble the Brighton side, you can bet against him scoring, though it might be a tough call. However, he might be able to add to his tally of 3 assists.

EPL 2019-Manchester United vs Liverpool

For all the fantasy football geeks out there, we share prediction tips of league matches that will give them a better shot at predicting and winning. Starting with EPL 2019. 

Manchester United welcome Liverpool to Old Trafford aiming for only a third win in eight matches but with a good record against the top teams this English Premier League.

The Red Devils have two wins and one draw versus sides who begin Matchweek 9 in the top five, so Jurgen Klopp’s leaders must be at the top of their game to extend their perfect start and equal Manchester City’s top-flight record of 18 consecutive victories.

Meanwhile, Liverpool are playing with a purpose this season and have managed to win even those games where they weren’t at their best.

Manchester United at EPL 2019

Goalkeeper David De Gea (groin) and midfielder Paul Pogba (ankle) are set to miss the game through injury. Jesse Lingard (hamstring) is also a doubt.

However, manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has confirmed he hopes to welcome back Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Anthony Martial.

Luke Shaw is losing his race to prove his fitness in time, which will likely see Ashley Young start at left-back. Axel Tuanzebe is also an option if Victor Lindelof, who has recovered from a back injury, is preferred at centre-back.

Daniel James suffered a head injury for Wales during the international break and may need assessment from United’s medical staff ahead of Sunday’s match.

Phil Jones, Jesse Lingard, Eric Bailly, Diogo Dalot and Timothy Fosu-Mensah are other injury concerns for Solskjaer.

United will likely opt for a 4-2-3-1 formation.

Liverpool at EPL 2019

Alisson is ready to make his comeback after missing last 11 games through injury. Despite Adrian’s good performances, Alisson is expected straight back in the starting XI here.

Joel Matip is also back in full training and should be fine to start at Old Trafford, while Trent Alexander-Arnold was an unused substitute in both of England’s matches during the break and will be fresh here.

Mohamed Salah escaped serious injury in Liverpool’s win over Leicester before the international break but is still rated as a doubt heading into Sunday’s match.

Manchester United vs Liverpool: Predicted Line-up

Manchester United

Sergio Romero; Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Victor Lindelof, Harry Maguire, Ashley Young; Scott McTominay, Nemanja Matic; Daniel James, Juan Mata, Marcus Rashford; Anthony Martial

Liverpool

Alisson; Trent Alexander-Arnold, Joel Matip, Virgil Van Dijk, Andrew Robertson; Jordan Henderson, Fabinho, Georginio Wijnaldum; Mohamed Salah, Roberto Firmino, Sadio Mane

EPL 2019: Manchester United vs Liverpool prediction

  1. Man Utd are unbeaten in their last five home league meetings with Liverpool, of which they have won three. It is their longest run without defeat against the Reds at Old Trafford since a sequence of 10 between February 1991 and March 2000.
  2. A third of Marcus Rashford’s 30 Premier League goals have been against sides who finished last season’s top six. United have not been so bad at home despite their struggles and should be able to score.
  3. Mohamed Salah has failed to score or assist a goal in his four Premier League appearances against Man Utd, who are the only team he has faced more than once without registering a single goal involvement. However, it’s just a matter of time before he breaks the drought.
  4. United have won 28 and lost just 14 of the 54 head to head clashes in the league but the tide is changing its direction.
  5. Four of the last 6 Premier League meetings between the sides have ended in a draw. Though it might seem too much, don’t write the Red Devils off, as they have shown against Chelsea and Arsenal this season.
  6. Manchester United have taken more penalties against Liverpool than any other side in the Premier League- 10, and given the role of VAR and the fact that it is the most Liverpool have faced against a single opposition, Virgil van Dijk and company might end up giving Marcus Rashford an opportunity to score.
  7. Liverpool have won their last 17 English Premier League matches. A trip to Manchester is always tricky, irrespective of the form of the Red Devils.
  8. Liverpool have scored at least 2 goals in 16 of their last 17 Premier League matches and might end up doing so again.
  9. There have been under 2.5 goals scored in Man Utd’s last 5 Premier League games and over 2.5 goals scored in 7 of Liverpool’s last 8 such games. At the moment, it seems like the Reds’ streak will reign supreme.
  10. Aston Villa’s John McGinn (72) is the only central midfielder in the Premier League who has won more duels this season than Scott McTominay (66).
  11. Only Kevin De Bruyne (29) has created more chances in the Premier League this season than Trent Alexander-Arnold (28). Expect Alexander-Arnold to continue his attacking threat.

EPL 2019-Newcastle United vs Manchester United

For all the fantasy football geeks out there, we share prediction tips of league matches that will give them a better shot at predicting and winning. Starting with EPL 2019. Read more for Newcastle vs Manchester United prediction.

Newcastle United are aiming for a first win at St James’ Park this EPL 2019, against a Manchester United side who are winless on their travels in 2019/20. 10th position in table is not something United fans want from their team, but it looks more likely to further deteriorate rather than improving.

Newcastle manager Steve Bruce will take charge of his 400th English Premier League match (Won- 111 Draw- 111 and Loss- 177) but he is looking for a first win over Man Utd in the 2nd attempt and he would have sensed that there could not have been a better opportunity to break that deadlock.

Meanwhile, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer too has started looking for excuses. Since the last 2 games, one among them being against minnows- AZ Alkmaar, the ever-smiling United boss is blaming the referees for dropping points. Irrespective of whether he is right or wrong, this kind of statements don’t really show a positive mindset.

Newcastle United’s performance in EPL 2019:

DeAndre Yedlin made his return from injury in last weekend’s 5-0 defeat away to Leicester, while Sean Longstaff, who was heavily linked with a move to Manchester United in the summer, was fit enough to start.

Jetro Willems (knee) is in contention for Newcastle, while Steve Bruce will make a late decision on fit-again striker Dwight Gayle.

Isaac Hayden starts a three-match suspension, joining Matt Ritchie (ankle) and long-term absentee Florian Lejeune (knee) on the sidelines. However, Jonjo Shelvey has made a timely return from injury and is poised to replace Hayden in midfield.

Allan Saint-Maximin has endured an injury-hit start to life at Newcastle but is fit again and Bruce may choose to unleash him from the start here.

Bruce may revert back to a 5-4-1 formation in a bid to frustrate United and that should not prove too difficult.

Probable line-up:

Martin Dubravka; Jetro Willems, Paul Dummett, Jamaal Lascelles, Fabian Schar, DeAndre Yedlin; Miguel Almiron, Sean Longstaff, Jonjo Shelvey, Allan Saint-Maximin; Joelinton

Manchester United’s performance in EPL 2019:

Jesse Lingard limped off with a hamstring injury in their Europa League game and is a major doubt, along with Paul Pogba (ankle). Meanwhile, Aaron Wan-Bissaka (illness) will be monitored.

Sunday’s match may come too soon for Luke Shaw and Anthony Martial. Eric Bailly and Phil Jones are definitely ruled out.

Victor Lindelof was a surprise starter in midweek, which could see Axel Tuanzebe partner Harry Magurie at centre-back away to Newcastle.

Mason Greenwood might get a first Premier League start of the season.

Solskjaer is likely to use a 4-2-3-1 formation.

Probable line-up:

David de Gea; Ashley Young, Victor Lindelof, Harry Maguire, Axel Tuanzebe; Scott McTominay, Nemanja Matic; Daniel James, Juan Mata, Mason Greenwood; Marcus Rashford.

EPL 2019: Newcastle vs Manchester United prediction

  1. Since beating Paris Saint-Germain 3-1 back in March, Manchester United have failed to win any of their 10 away matches across all competitions (D3 L6). With the kind of form they are in, it looks unlikely they will do so on Sunday either.
  2. Newcastle have won 3 of their last 31 Premier League games against Manchester United, losing 21, including on both the occasions they met last season. However, this can be a golden opportunity to improve their sorry looking records.
  3. United have won 13 away Premier League games against Newcastle, their 3rd best away record. But that’s in the past and the current form doesn’t justify it.
  4. United have failed to score more than once in any of their last 7 Premier League away games. Having youngsters in the team makes they are unpredictable.
  5. There have been under 2.5 goals scored in United’s last 4 away English Premier League games as well as in Newcastle’s last 3 home games in the league. So, expect the trend to continue.
  6. United’s haul of 9 points this season is their worst tally in the top-flight in 30 years but it’s not certain they won’t drop points.
  7. Newcastle are 19th with 5 points. They have won just 1 and lost 4 of their 7 games so far. However, there are very few teams who are as much in mess as United and Newcastle, who are unbeaten in last 2 league games at home, will fancy their chances.

EPL 2019-Southampton vs Chelsea

For all the fantasy football geeks out there, we share prediction tips of league matches that will give them a better shot at predicting and winning. Starting with EPL 2019. 

After an inconsistent start to the season, Chelsea would like to build onto their 3 wins in last 3 games in all competitions and break into the top 4 when they travel to face Southampton. They have relatively easier fixtures lined-up.

Chelsea youngsters have repaid the faith boss Frank Lampard has shown in them with Tammy Abraham, Mason Mount impressing so much with their performances that they have earned call-up to the English squad for their upcoming Euro qualifiers.

Meanwhile, Southampton, who have won 2 games so far, just 1 less than Chelsea would like to build onto that and register their 1st home win of EPL 2019.

Squads and Predicted Lineups:

Southampton at EPL 2019

Full-back Cedric Soares missed the Tottenham Hotspur game after pulling out injured in the warm-up. The Portugal international has a calf problem and will remain unavailable.

Moussa Djenepo is sidelined for the foreseeable future due to a hip issue. The Mali winger has scored twice in three top-flight games since his summer switch from Standard Liege, but has not featured since September 14.

Alex McCarthy and Cedric Soares will be assessed, with James Ward-Prowse potentially starting on the right.

Ralph Hasenhüttl might use a 3-4-1-2 formation.

Probable line-up

Angus Gunn; Jan Bednarek, Maya Yoshida, Jannik Vestergaard; Oriol Romeu, James Ward-Prowse, Ryan Bertrand, Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg; Sofiane Boufai; Danny Ings, Nathan Redmond.

Chelsea at EPL 2019

Ruben Loftus-Cheek (Achilles), Emerson Palmieri (thigh), Antonio Rudiger (groin) and Marco Van Ginkel (knee) are out of Sunday’s clash.

Cesar Azpilicueta will be fretting for his starting spot at right-back after Reece James featured from the off in Lille, though after a lengthy layoff, Frank Lampard may resist the temptation to use the youngster.

He could make a sole change from the side that started against Brighton, with N’Golo Kante coming in for Ross Barkley in midfield which means sticking to the 4-3-3 formation.

Probable line-up

Kepa; Marcos Alonso, Andreas Christensen, Cesar Azpilicueta, Fikayo Tomori; Jorginho, N’Golo Kante, Mason Mount; Pedro, Tammy Abraham, Willain.

EPL 2019: Southampton vs Chelsea prediction:

1-     Southampton have won only two of their last 20 Premier League meetings with Chelsea (W2 D6 L12) and are winless in the last seven- 6 lost. Meanwhile, Chelsea have won 9 of their 12 away visits to St. Mary’s Stadium in all competitions, including each of the last four in a row. Barring any surprise, expect the Blues to hold onto their advantage.

2-     Chelsea have scored at least once in each of their last 15 away games against Southampton in all competitions (33 goals in total) since December 1997. With Chelsea being the 3rd highest scoring side this season, the streak will extend for another year.

3-     Southampton have won just one point at home in the Premier League so far this season. Don’t expect them to double it so far.

4-     Southampton have found the net in each of their last 17 home Premier League games. Meanwhile, Chelsea have kept just 1 clean sheet this season, that too at home in the last game, so don’t be surprised if The Saints stretch that run.

5-   Llast having a longer run in the top-flight between April 1980-December 1981 (31 games). However, Saints have only kept one clean sheet in the current run of 17. Also, only Watford (33) have conceded more Premier League away goals in 2019 than Chelsea (27).

6-     Southampton have managed just 3 clean sheets at home in the last 2 seasons, less than any other side in the Premier League.

EPL 2019-Arsenal vs Bournemouth

For all the fantasy football geeks out there, Starting with EPL 2019, we share prediction tips of league matches that will give them a better shot at predicting and winning. 

Arsenal host Bournemouth with an aim to break into the top 3. They have somehow managed to find themselves in the top 4 so far. However, with Leicester above them, it’s not really what they would have targeted before the pre-season. Though their strikers have been in good form, they have been let down by their defence and have conceded 11 goals in 7 games, 1 less than what they have scored.

3 wins in 7 games might not sound really bad, given they have already faced Liverpool and Manchester United away and Spurs at home. However, it’s the way they have played that has left their fans in shatters. However, the struggles of Manchester United, Spurs and Chelsea means it has not been really hard on the Gunners’ fans.

In fact, their Europa League game on Thursday, with regular starters being benched or left out, looked smoother.

Meanwhile, Bournemouth are just a point behind their Sunday’s opponents and a surprise win can send them in the top 4, given how the league has unfolded so far.

Squads and Predicted Lineups:

Arsenal at EPL 2019

Unai Emery has plenty of options at full-back after both Kieran Tierney and Hector Bellerin played the full 90 minutes in the win over Standard Liege, though the Gunners boss may resist the temptation to have them play two games in the space of three days.

Alexandre Lacazette and Emile Smith Rowe sit out through injuries.

Dani Ceballos could come into the side that started the 1-1 draw at Manchester United, while Calum Chambers may continue at right-back.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, who has been in scintillating form, is expected to lead charge in the 4-2-3-1 formation.

Probable line-up:

Bernd Leno; Sead Kolasinac, David Luiz, Rob Holding, Calum Chambers; Matteo Guendouzi, Granit Xhaka; Bukayo Saka, Dani Ceballos, Nicolas Pepe; Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

Bournemouth at EPL 2019

Harry Wilson is a doubt for Bournemouth, and his absence would be a massive blow for the Cherries, with Arnaut Danjuma Groeneveld in line for a first start of his Bournemouth career.

Ryan Fraser is also a doubt through illness.

David Brooks, Dan Gosling, Junior Stanislas, Chris Mepham, Charlie Daniels and Adam Smith sit out the trip to Arsenal.

Eddie Howe may resist making wholesale changes to the side that drew 2-2 with West Ham. He is likely to deploy a 4-4-2 formation.

Probable line-up:

Aaron Ramsdale; Jack Stacey, Steve Cook, Nathan Ake, Diego Rico; Joshua King, Philip Billing, Jefferson Lerma, Arnaut Groeneveld; Callum Wilson, Dominic Solanke.

EPL 2019: Arsenal vs Bournemouth prediction:

1-     Arsenal have won all five of their home matches against Bournemouth in all competitions (four in the Premier League, one in the League Cup). Don’t expect them to drop points at home at this time in the EPL 2019, given they have lost just 1 of their last 21 Premier League games at home.

2-     Bournemouth have taken only four points from eight English Premier League matches against Arsenal. Something, they might struggle at once again.

3-     The Gunners have shipped 2 goals in their last 2 home matches, last doing so in three consecutive home games in December 2012. However, their defensive woes, coupled with Bournemouth’s attacking records- they have scored more than Arsenal this season, makes it possible.

4-     Both teams have scored in each of Bournemouth’s seven Premier League games so far this EPL 2019. It will probably stretch to another game, if not more.

5-     Bournemouth’s Callum Wilson is looking to score in 5 consecutive league games for the 1st time in 5 and a half years. Given his record against Arsenal- three goals in 4 Premier League appearances, he might be able to achieve this feat.

6-     Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang could become the first Arsenal player to score 8 goals in the Gunners’ first 8 games in a Premier League season in 22 years.

7-     Arsenal have scored at least 2 goals in 12 of their last 13 home matches in the league and might do so once again.

Etihad Stadium, Manchester

EPL-Manchester-City-vs-Wolverhampton-Wanderers

For all the fantasy football geeks out there, we share prediction tips of league matches that will give them a better shot at predicting and winning. Starting with EPL 2019. 

Manchester City have conceded an early 5-point lead to Liverpool in the title race and are under pressure to make up for the drop points. However, Pep Guardiola’s side are never affected by pressure.

Wolves manager Nuno Espírito Santo had said following their draw against Crystal Palace that the injury time equalise will help them finally begin their season. Since then Wolves have won League Cup game on penalties, defeated Watford to jump from the 19th spot in the table to 13th and then register their first win in Europa League.

Manchester City’s performance in the English Premier League 2019:

Kevin De Bruyne has been ruled out for Man City with a groin injury. The Belgian, who has eight assists and two goals this EPL 2019,  joins John Stones (muscle) and long-term absentees Aymeric Laporte and Leroy Sane (both knee) on the sidelines.

Benjamin Mendy and Joao Cancelo both started in the Champions League in midweek but Kyle Walker and Oleksandr Zinchenko are expected back in the team.

As Sergio Aguero started in the Champions League on Tuesday, Gabriel Jesus will hope to start against Wolves on Sunday.

Ilkay Gundogan, David Silva and Bernardo Silva compete for two spots in midfield, with Raheem Sterling and Riyad Mahrez expected to flank the lone striker.

They are expected to field a 4-3-3 formation.

Wolves’s performance in the English Premier League 2019:

Portugal forward Diogo Jota is still absent after being sidelined for Wolves’ Europa League win at Besiktas on Thursday with an ankle problem.

However, apart from missing Jota, the visitors have a fully-fit squad to pick from.

They are expected to use a 3-5-2 formation.

Manchester City vs Wolverhampton Wanderers: Predicted Line-up

Manchester City

Ederson; Oleksandr Zinchenko, Nicolas Otamendi, Fernandinho, Kyle Walker; Ilkay Gundogan, Rodrigo, David Silva; Riyad Mahrez, Gabriel Jesus, Raheem Sterling.

Wolverhampton

Rui Patricio; Willy Boly, Conor Coady, Romain Saiss; Matt Doherty, Leander Dendoncker, Ruben Neves, Joao Moutinho, Jonny; Raul Jimenez, Diogo Jota.

EPL 2019: Manchester City vs Wolverhampton Prediction

  1.  Man City have only failed to score in one of their last 44 Premier League home matches. They have scored 142 goals in that run, netting five or more on 11 occasions. And though, this goal scoring run is likely to extend, don’t expect Kevin De Bruyne-less City to score 5 or more.
  2.  Wolves are seeking to avoid becoming the first team to get a red card in three successive Premier League away matches since Blackburn Rovers in April 2011.
  3. Since sharing points in their first home meeting, City have beaten Wolves in all 4 of their next PL games at Etihad.
  4. 9 of the last 14 goals scored during their meetings have been via set-pieces, including 4 of 5 last season. However, the absence of Kevin De Bruyne may impact this.
  5. Manchester City have won 19 of their last 21 Premier League matches and given they have already conceded 5-point lead in the title race, they are going to approach every game like hungry lions.
  6. There have been over 2.5 goals scored in Manchester City’s last 8 Premier League games, with City scoring at least 2 in all of them. Expect the trend to continue with Sergio Aguero and Raheem Sterling in City’s side.
  7. Manchester City have kept a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 Premier League home matches. However, given the way Wolves perform against the big clubs, it might prove to be too much to ask from a City side, who are still without Aymeric Laporte and John Stones.
  8. Wolves ended a run of 7 Premier League games without a win against Watford last week but barring any major surprises don’t expect them to build onto that.
  9. City have scored 27 goals in their opening 7 league games this season and expect them to fire in mass again.
  10. Man City’s Riyad Mahrez has scored a direct free-kick goal in his last two English Premier League matches. He’s also two goals away from becoming the first Algerian to reach 50 Premier League goals. Wolves’ defensive struggle can help Mahrez.

epl-Liverpool-vs-Leicester-City

For all the fantasy football geeks out there, we share prediction tips of league matches that will give them a better shot at predicting and winning. Starting with EPL 2019. 

After taking a 5-point lead over Manchester City early in EPL 2019, Liverpool will look to continue their winning form when they host Leicester City on Saturday. Their scrappy 1-0 win against Sheffield United, coupled with a patchy defensive display that saw them concede 3 times against Red Bull means the Reds would be as motivated as ever.

Meanwhile, Leicester come into this clash in great form having thrashed Newcastle 5-0 last week, a result that sent them 3rd in the table. They look to be the most likely candidate, given the struggling form of Spurs, Manchester United and Arsenal, to gate-crash the ‘big 6’ party.

Liverpool's Performance in EPL 2019

Alisson is back in training, but isn’t likely to be fit enough to start until after the international break.

Joel Matip is a doubt for the home side and will be assessed closer to kick off, with Joe Gomez in line to deputise if required.

Xherdan Shaqiri is less likely to feature than Matip, having sustained a calf injury and it is unclear yet how long the midfielder could be out for.

Nathaniel Clyne will also miss the game.

Liverpool are likely to stick to the 4-3-3 formation.

Leicester City's Performance in EPL 2019

James Maddison may miss out with an ankle problem, which would be a blow for the Foxes, but Brendan Rodgers will give the creator every opportunity to recover.

Matty James, however, miss out with a calf problem.

Rodgers may name the same formation (4-1-4-1) and the same XI that blew Newcastle away last weekend, Maddison’s fitness pending.

Liverpool vs Leicester City: Predicted Line-up

Liverpool

Adrian; Andrew Robertson, Virgil van Dijk, Joe Gomez, Trent Alexander-Arnold; Georginio Wijnaldum, Fabinho, Jordan Henderson; Sadio Mane, Roberto Firmino, Mohamed Salah.

Manchester City

Kasper ​Schmeichel; Ricardo Pereira, Caglar Soyuncu, Jonny Evans, Ben Chilwell; Wilfried Ndidi; Youri Tielemans, Dennis Praet, Ayoze Perez, Harvey Barnes; Jamie Vardy.

EPL 2019: Liverpool vs Leicester City Prediction

1- There’s no doubt that Liverpool’s front 3 possess threats. However, their back 3 are no dangerous either. In addition to their defensive capabilities, they are not scared to push forward either. Trent Alexander-Arnold and Andrew Robertson have set up 2 goals each, only Roberto Firmino has set up more for Liverpool. Arnold has also scored a goal, and so has Virgil van Dijk. Don’t be surprised if they scored or assist again.

2- Liverpool haven’t lost to Leicester at home since 2000, and though Alisson’s injury has left a void behind, they make-up for it ahead and are likely to extend that run for another year.

3- Liverpool have won their last 16 English Premier League games, and are just 2 behind Manchester City’s all-time record set 2 years ago. So, don’t expect any the leaders to go soft.

4- Liverpool have built a fortress at Anfield. They are unbeaten in last 43 league games at home which is the longest current run in the top 5 European leagues.

5- Since the appointment of Brendan Rodgers, only Manchester City and Liverpool have won more points than the Foxes. A promising sign that should make the game interesting.

6- Liverpool have been winning at both half time and full time in 9 of their last 10 home matches in English Premier League. They have scored at least 2 goals in all 10 of these games, facts that promise a goal-fest on Saturday.

7- Jamie Vardy has thrived since Rodgers took charge in March, scoring five league goals this EPL 2019 and 14 in 17 matches. He has scored 7 and set up 1 in 9 games against the Reds.

epl-Brighton-vs-Tottenham-Hotspur

 For all the fantasy football geeks out there, we share prediction tips of league matches that will give them a better shot at predicting and winning. Starting with EPL 2019. 

After some really shambolic results, including a 7-2 loss to Bayern Munich in the last game, Tottenham are seeking to avoid a full-blown crisis mode when they travel to Brighton this weekend. All is not well in Spurs’ dressing room either with reports Moussa Sissoko questioned Mauricio Pochettino’s tactics following the loss to Bayern Munich.

Meanwhile, Brighton still haven’t won in the English Premier League since the opening game of the season. But they might have sensed that this is the perfect opportunity to break that drought.

Brighton & Hove Albion's Performance in EPL 2019​

Shane Duffy is still out with a calf injury, while full-back Bernardo and Leandro Trossard remain sidelined.

Brighton and Hove Albion manager Graham Potter has confirmed that both Solly March and Alireza Jahanbakhsh will be available which means March will be pushing for a start.

Ezequiel Schelotto has recovered from a knee injury, but it remains to be seen when he will feature again.

Jose Izquierdo, Leon Balogun and Davy Propper also miss out.

Despite the defeat to Chelsea last week, Graham Potter could name an unchanged XI, sticking to the 3-5-1-1 formation.

Tottenham Spurs Performance in EPL 2019​

Serge Aurier is suspended following his red card in the 2-1 win over Southampton, with Davinson Sanchez set to get the nod at right-back.

Giovani Lo Celso (hip) and Ryan Sessegnon (hamstring) remain Tottenham’s only injury absentees, but Pochettino will surely make changes to his team after Tuesday’s drubbing.

Christian Eriksen started the 7-2 loss to Bayern from the bench, but should feature from the off here.

Spurs are likely to field 4-3-1-2 formation but a back three could also be the order of the day, with Moussa Sissoko or Danny Rose going into the midfield.

Brighton vs Tottenham: Predicted Line-up

Brighton

Mat Ryan; Adam Webster, Lewis Dunk, Dan Burn; Martín Montoya, Dale Stephens, Yves Bissouma, Pascal Groß, Steven Alzate; Aaron Mooy; Neal Maupay.

Tottenham

Hugo Lloris; Danny Rose, Toby Alderweireld, Davinson Sanchez, Jan Vertonghen; Moussa Sissoko, Harry Winks, Tanguy Ndombele; Christian Eriksen, Harry Kane, Son Heung-Min.

EPL 2019: Brighton vs Tottenham Prediction

1-     Brighton are winless in all 4 of their English Premier League meetings with Spurs (Drawn 1, lost 3), losing both matches last season. Meanwhile, Spurs haven’t lost against Brighton in any competition since 1983. Even though Spurs are struggling, the end of this streak looks really difficult.

2-     Brighton have lost just one of their last 19 Premier League  games in October, losing away to Arsenal in 2017. And though they look unlikely to add to their tally of 10 wins, probably the best chance they have is to increase the number of draws in this month from 8 to 9.

3-     Spurs have won just 22 points in their last 19 Premier League games, 12 teams have won more and it won’t be a surprise if they drop points again.

4-     Tottenham have failed to win their last 9 away matches in EPL 2019 while Brighton have failed to win their last 8 home matches in the league. And barring any major surprises, Spurs might win the race to be better amongst the worst.

5-     Tottenham have conceded at least 2 goals in their last 3 away Premier League matches but are up against a team which has scored just 5 goals, less than 17 teams.

6-     There have been over 2.5 goals scored in 7 of Tottenham’s last 8 EPL  games while there have been under 2.5 goals scored in 5 of Brighton’s last 6 Premier League home games. Given the defensive fragility of both the teams, along with Spurs attacking abilities – only 2 teams have scored more than them- it’s Spurs streak that is likely to stretch.

7-     Only 4 players have created more chances in the Premier League this season than Brighton’s Pascal Groß – 17.

Under-pressure, Manchester United host Arsenal in their league game. Just 8 points from 6 games have left them at 8th spot in the table and with injuries to several stars the Red Devils find themselves on the backfoot. However, Utd have featured well under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer when under pressure.

Meanwhile, Arsenal are riding high with 3 wins and just a solitary loss, that too against Liverpool, in their first 6 games. However, their struggle away from home is not hidden from anyone. They were held by Watford in their last away league game.

Manchester United’s performance in EPL 2019:

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has said ahead of their game against Arsenal that he never expected his reign as the Manchester United boss to be easy and his record at the club justifies his words. He has the worst win percentage among the managers who took over at Manchester United since the departure of Sir Alex Ferguson. He has a success rate of just 51 pc- 19 wins in 37 games.

Despite returning against Rochdale in midweek, Paul Pogba is a doubt for the game with an ankle issue. Anthony Martial and Marcus Rashford are expected to join Eric Bailly and Diogo Dalot on the sidelines, leaving Solskjaer with little choice but to start 17 years old Mason Greenwood. Greenwood has scored in each of his last two appearances for the club.

Juan Mata and Jesse Lingard are in competition for a starting berth on Monday night, while Luke Shaw returned to training on Friday and could make the matchday squad.

Solskjaer is expected to tweak the formation a bit to adjust to the injury issues. He is likely to use 4-3-3.

Arsenal's performance in EPL 2019:

Newly appointed captain Granit Xhaka is expected to start for the Gunners while Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang will look to add to his tally of 6 league goals this EPL 2019 as Arsenal look to break free in the race to top 4 early in the season.

Kieran Tierney returned from injury to make his Arsenal debut in the Carabao Cup game in the midweek but may have to wait for Premier League debut. Hector Bellerin also returned from a long-time injury. However, he has been ruled out of the game. Meanwhile, Rob Holding is also unlikely to face.

Bukayo Saka and Reiss Nelson are in competition for a starting berth on the left wing with Alexandre Lacazette still unavailable.

Unai Emery is expected to stick to the 4-2-3-1 formation he used against Aston Villa last week.

Manchester United vs Arsenal: Predicted Line-up

Manchester United

David de Gea; Ashley Young, Harry Maguire, Victor Lindelof, Aaron Wan-Bissaka; Scott McTominay, Nemanja Matic, Andreas Pereira; Daniel James, Mason Greenwood, Juan Mata.

Arsenal

Bernd Leno; Calum Chambers, Sokratis, David Luiz, Sead Kolasinac; Matteo Guendouzi, Granit Xhaka; Pepe, Dani Ceballos, Reiss Nelson; Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

EPL 2019: Manchester United vs Arsenal Prediction

  1. There have been over 2.5 goals scored in Arsenal’s last 5 English Premier League games. However, there have been under 2.5 goals scored in 8 of Manchester United’s last 10 EPL games. However, given the defensive fragility of both the teams, expect a goal-fest.
  2. Arsenal have conceded at least 2 goals in their last 4 Premier League matches while they have scored at least 2 goals in their last 3 PL matches.
  3. Manchester United are unbeaten in their last 12 PL games against Arsenal at Old Trafford – a run stretching 13 years. However, United’s defensive woes and the absence of attackers may give them the chance to finally break the streak.
  4. Penalties have been awarded in Arsenal’s last 4 PL games and could become just the 6th side to see a penalty awarded in 5 consecutive games. Manchester Utd have won most penalties – 5- this season while Arsenal have conceded the most – 3. With defenders prone to mistakes in both sides and strikers with pace, don’t be surprised if the referee points to the spot.
  5. Jesse Lingard has scored four goals for United against Arsenal in all competitions, more than he has against any other side.
  6. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has scored 13 goals in his last 13 Premier League starts, and his tally of six strikes is the most by an Arsenal player in the first six matches of the season since Emmanuel Adebayor in 2007/08 (also six). United have managed just 2 clean sheets so far and Auba may very well add another goal to both the columns.

English Premere League Match Prediction (EPL 2019): Lille vs Chelsea

Stade Pierre Mauroy, Lille

epl-prediction-lille-vs-chelsea

 For all the fantasy football geeks out there, we share prediction tips of league matches that will give them a better shot at predicting and winning. Starting with EPL 2019. 

Following losses in their opening group stage games, Chelsea and Lille face each other in the latter’s home as both of them try to get their European campaign back on track. While Chelsea have won 2 games since their defeat to Valencia, Lille have drawn 2 and won 1 of their 3 games since losing to Ajax.

Lille’s performance in EPL 2019:

Timothy Weah is the only injury concern for Lille while Gabriel and Tiago Djaló battle to partner former West Ham defender Jose Fonte at centre-back.

Lille are likely to stick to the 4-2-3-1 formation they used on the weekend.

Chelsea’s performance in EPL 2019:

Manager Frank Lampard said he is looking for improvement, tempo and concentration in Chelsea’s state of play, following their win last week.

N’Golo Kanté missed out against Brighton at the weekend because of injury but is expected to be back. With Mateo Kovacic also expected to return, Mason Mount should push forward into the attacking trio.

Reece James and Callum Hudson-Odoi are back from long-term injuries but aren’t expected to start on Wednesday. With Kurt Zouma an injury doubt, Andreas Christensen and Fikayo Tomori should be safe to start at the back for the away side.

Lampard is likely to use the 4-3-3 formation he used against Brighton in the English Premier League on the weekend.

Lille vs Chelsea: Predicted Line-up

Lille

Mike Maignan; Domagoj Bradaric, Gabriel, José Fonte, Mehmet Zeki Çelik; Boubakary Soumaré, Benjamin André; Jonathan Bamba, Jonathan Ikoné, Luiz Araújo; Victor Osimhen.

Chelsea

Kepa Arrizabalaga; César Azpilicueta, Andreas Christensen, Fikayo Tomori, Marcos Alonso; N’Golo Kanté, Jorginho, Mateo Kovacic; Willian, Mason Mount, Tammy Abraham.

EPL 2019: Lille vs Chelsea Prediction

1-     Lille will be Chelsea’s 5th different French opponents in European competition. The Blues have won 5 and lost 6 of the 16 games, all in the Champions League, against French side.

2-     Lille have only faced Manchester United in the Champions League, losing 3 and winning just 1 of the 6 games. However, Chelsea are vulnerable and it’s not really impossible to beat them.

3-     Lille have failed to score in 5 of their last 6 games against English opponents in all competitions but given Chelsea’s fragile defence- they managed their first clean sheet under new manager Frank Lampard this weekend- Lille might be able to find the back of the net.

4-     Lille have won just 1 of their last 4 games in all competitions and provide a perfect opportunity for Chelsea to get their campaign back on track, following a 1-0 loss to Valencia in the Champions League Opener.

5-     Chelsea have won their last 2 games, but those games were against not so fancied opponents and came on the back of 2 defeats. However, Lille, who have lost 2 and drawn 2 of their 8 league games, should not really trouble Chelsea, who might struggle to go through the next round if they fail to win 3 points.

6-     Lille are winless in 8 Champions League home matches since 2006 while Chelsea have lost their last 2 games this EPL 2019. They have never lost 3 in a row in the competition and it seems it would be Lille’s unwanted streak that would likely be stretched than Chelsea’s.

7-     Chelsea have kept clean sheets in 7 of their last 12 away group games in Champions League, a run which saw them win 7 games. However, Lille must fancy themselves to breach the Blues’ defence.

epl-2019-Liverpool-vs-Red-Bull-Salzburg

 For all the fantasy football geeks out there, we share prediction tips of league matches that will give them a better shot at predicting and winning. Starting with EPL 2019. 

Liverpool host Red Bull Salzburg as they look to return to winning ways in Champions League after losing to Napoli in their group opener. Salzburg are undefeated in their domestic league. However, they have dropped 2 points and lead the table with 5 points. Liverpool, meanwhile, have won all their league games so far and lead by 5 points as well.

Liverpool’s performance in EPL 2019:

Alisson is closing in on a first-team return after missing last nine matches in all competitions. However, he will likely be recalled only after the international break. Divock Origi returned from injury in Liverpool’s 1-0 win away to Sheffield United in the English Premier League at the weekend, but Nathaniel Clyne and Xherdan Shaqiri are still missing.

Georginio Wijnaldum is likely to get the nod over James Milner in the midfield.

Jurgen Klopp is likely to stick to his 4-3-3 formation.

Red Bull Salzburg’s performance in EPL 2019:

Erling Haaland scored a first half hat-trick as Salzburg defeated Genk 6-2 in their Champions League opener. However, Haaland emerges as a doubt for Wednesday night’s Champions League fixture at Liverpool with illness. If fit, he is likely to lead the line with Hwang Hee-Chan or else Sekou Koita will replace him.

Haaland had notably scored 9 goals in Norway’s 12-0 win over Honduras at the FIFA U-20 World Cup.

Antoine Bernede is out after picking up an injury at the weekend and will have to be replaced in midfield, with Enock Mwepu a candidate to deputise. Other than that, Salzburg are expected to name the side that faced Genk.

Salzburg are likely to stick to the 4-2-2-2 formation they followed in the first game.

Liverpool vs Salzburg: Predicted Line-up

Liverpool

Adrian; Andrew Robertson, Virgil van Dijk, Joel Matip, Trent Alexander-Arnold; Jordan Henderson, Fabinho, Georginio Wijnaldum; Sadio Mane, Mohamed Salah, Roberto Firmino.

Salzburg

Cican Stankovic; Rasmus Kristensen, Jerôme Onguéné, André Ramalho, Andreas Ulmer; Enock Mwepu, Zlatko Junuzovic; Takumi Minamino, Dominik Szoboszlai; Erling Haaland, Hwang Hee-Chan..

EPL 2019: Liverpool vs Salzburg Prediction

1-     Salzburg have only lost once in their last 17 away group stage games in Europe, all of which came in the Europa League. Salzburg are winless against English opponents- 3 losses and 1 draw, a streak that is likely to extend.

2-     Liverpool haven’t lost a Champions League home match in nearly five years and are unbeaten at Anfield in their last 24 matches, something the European Champions should be able to build on.

3-     It will be Liverpool and Red Bull Salzburg’s first meeting. Liverpool have won 4 of their 6 meetings against Austrian sides and the last time they lost, in 2004 qualifiers, the Reds went on to win the competition.

4-     Salzburg have conceded 2 or more goals in all their games against English teams, and barring any surprises are likely to concede so again, given the threat Liverpool’s front 3 possess.

5-     Liverpool could become only the second defending champion of European Cup/ Champions League to lose their first 2 matches of the following campaign- after Nottingham Forest in 1980-81. Given the tricky nature of the EPL 2019 and Salzburg’s confidence, it cannot be completely written off.

6-     While a lot of focus has been on Liverpool’s back force of Virgil van Dijk, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Andrew Robertson, it’s in fact Fabinho who has made the most tackles (17) by any Liverpool player in the Premier League this season.

English Premere League Match Prediction (EPL 2019): Everton vs Manchester City

September 28, 2019,

Goodison Park

For all the fantasy football geeks out there, we share prediction tips of league matches that will give them a better shot at predicting and winning. Starting with EPL 2019.

Manchester City bounced back from their surprising 3-2 loss to Norwich with a thumping 8-0 win over Watford last week. The defeat made them realise that they can’t take Premier League for granted even if they have a Champions League game in the midweek and Pep Guardiola would want City to continue with the same intensity as the last week.

They face a struggling Everton side that has lost three of their last four Premier League matches despite continued substantial investment in improving the playing squad. However, Everton can pounce on the opportunity that arises from City’s defensive woes.

Everton’s performance in EPL 2019:

David Silva has won 199 of his 288 Premier League matches. He can now become the 26th player to reach 200 wins, and the fastest to do so, beating John Terry’s record of reaching that mark in 305 matches. However, with Champions League game to come, he may be rested.

Bernardo Silva played the 90 minutes in the midweek game and could be rested as well.

Pep Guardiola is expected to rotate the squad a bit but will likely stick with the same 4-3-3 formation.

Predicted line-up: Ederson; Kyle Walker, Fernandinho, Nicolas Otamendi, Benjamin Mendy; Kevin De Bruyne, Rodrigo, Ilkay Gundogan; Raheem Sterling, Sergio Aguero, Riyad Mahrez.

Manchester City’s performance in EPL 2019:

Everton’s defeat to Sheffield United last week ended their streak of 6 home wins.

Set-pieces have been a particular weakness for Everton. Four of the last six goals the Toffees have conceded, have come from set-plays and with players like Kevin De Bruyne and David Silva in opposition’s ranks, it can prove to be a disaster.

The Toffees have averaged 60 percent possession, second only to Man City, but Everton’s two victories this EPL 2019 have come in the matches where they had their lowest share of the play which hints they are better equipped to play on the counter-attack, a tactic they are likely to be forced to adopt against City.

Summer signings Andre Gomes and Jean-Philippe Gbamin are the only absentees to Marco Silva.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin, who scored both goals in their Carabao Cup win on Tuesday, is likely to start over Moise Kean as Everton continue with 4-2-3-1 formation.

Predicted line-up: Jordan Pickford; Seamus Coleman, Michael Keane, Mason Holgate, Lucas Digne; Fabian Delph, Tom Davies; Alex Iwobi, Gylfi Sigurdsson, Richarlison; Dominic Calvert-Lewin.

Everton vs Manchester City: Predicted Line-up

Everton

Simon Moore; Jack O’Connell, John Egan, Chris Basham; George Baldock, John Lundstram, Oliver Norwood, John Fleck, Enda Stevens; David McGoldrick, Lys Mousset.

Manchester City

David de Gea; Aaron Wan-Bissake, Victor Lindelof, Harry Maguire, Ashley Young; Scott McTominay, Fred; Daniel James, Andreas Pereira, Marcus Rashford; Anthony Martial.

EPL 2019: Everton vs Manchester City Prediction

1-     Manchester City have scored at least 2 goals in their last 3 matches against Everton in all competitions.

2-     Everton have conceded at least 2 goals in their last 4 Premier League matches. Meanwhile, City have scored 24 goals so far. However, with Richarlison on their side and City missing Laporte and Stones, Everton too are likely to score. Thus, the fans are likely to be treated to a goal-fest.

3-     Everton are under pressure following a not-so good start and are likely to come out all guns blazing. They have won 10 Premier League home matches against reigning champions so far and can’t written off, even though it will be tough. Only Liverpool have won more home games against defending champions.

4-     Everton lead the head to head record in the PL 18-17. However, expect City to level that up.

5-     Aguero became the first player to score in each of the club’s first six matches of the season and is highly likely to extend that run to at least 1 more game.

6-     After failing to score in 2 league games and a Champions League game, Raheem Sterling was dropped for the game against Watford but found the back of the net against Preston in the Carabao Cup. Expect him to add to his tally of 5 league goals, if he steps on the field, even for a limited time.

Tottenham Hotspur Stadium

EPL-2019-Tottenham-Hotspur-vs-Bayern-Munich

For all the fantasy football geeks out there, we share prediction tips of league matches that will give them a better shot at predicting and winning. Starting with EPL 2019. 

Tottenham Hotspur will face Bayern Munich for the first time in the Champions League on Tuesday night as the German giants make the trip to the English capital.

Both teams are coming off the back of league victories and unless any major drama unfolds are the favourites to qualify for the next stage.

Tottenham Hotspur’s performance in EPL 2019:

Spurs allowed their 2-goal lead slip against Olympiacos in their Champions League Group B opener on September 18. The matches following that game didn’t do them any good either, with players and coach Mauricio Pochettino openly hinting that something is wrong within the club.

However, they managed to beat Southampton in the last game despite being a man down. The win would have likely boosted their confidence and games like these are the ones Spurs thrive on.

Spurs will be without Giovani Lo Celso (hip problem) and Ryan Sessegnon (hamstring issue). Son Heung-min was replaced in the 2nd half of Saturday’s clash with Southampton, but should be fit.

Christian Eriksen could keep his spot in a forward position, but Pochettino has plenty of options for change with Lucas Moura, Erik Lamela and Dele Alli all pushing for spots in the XI.

Spurs are likely to field a 4-3-3 formation.

Bayern Munich’s performance in EPL 2019:

Like Tottenham, Bayern will enter this match off the back of a league win at the weekend. However, the win was not as convincing as they would have liked ahead of a game of such magnitude. They were poor in defence, something that would have given Harry Kane and Co. some hopes.

Niko Kovac’s side are now unbeaten in their eight matches since the German Super Cup, though, and have certainly not struggled for goals during that run – hitting three in four separate matches, in addition to a four and a six.

Leon Goretzka and Jann-Fiete Arp are sidelined through injury, while Ivan Perisic is a doubt after missing the clash with Paderborn through illness. David Alaba was back on the bench at the weekend and could start, while Philippe Coutinho, Kingsley Coman and Serge Gnabry should all feature in a forward position.

Thomas Muller and Javi Martinez are also pushing for starts, although the experienced pair might have to settle for spots on the bench once again. Kovac is expected to field a 4-2-3-1 formation.

Tottenham vs Bayern Munich: Predicted Line-up

Tottenham

Hugo Lloris; Serge Aurier, Toby Alderweireld, Jan Vertonghen, Ben Davies; Tanguy Ndombele, Harry Winks, Moussa Sissoko; Christian Eriksen; Son Heung-min, Harry Kane.

Bayern Munich

Manuel Neuer; Benjamin Pavard, Niklas Sule, Jérôme Boateng, David Alaba; Joshua Kimmich, Thiago Alcântara; Serge Gnabry, Philippe Coutinho, Kingsley Coman; Robert Lewandowski.

EPL 2019: Tottenham vs Bayern Munich Prediction

1-     Spurs have not faced Bayern since knocking them out in the 3rd round of the UEFA Cup in 1983, the last trophy they have won in Europe.

2-     Spurs have won each of their last 4 Champions League game against German opponents (all vs Borussia Dortmund) and 8 of their last 11 Champions League home games. However, it’s not going to be easy against a Bayern side who love to dominate their opponents.

3-     Bayern Munich are unbeaten in their 9 away Champions League games and given the turmoil Spurs are in the Germans might match their run of 10 unbeaten games, achieved between October 2012 and April 2014.

4-     Philippe Coutinho looks to have found his mojo back since moving to Bayern Munich. He has scored 2 goals and assisted another couple of goals in 6 games and given the fact that he has played plenty of games against Spurs, he might be in for a blockbuster game.

5-     Bayern have scored 10 goals in their last 3 games and it seems there’s no stopping Robert Lewandowski, who on Saturday became the first player in Germany to score 10 league goals in 6 games. He has scored more goals than the entire Spurs team (9) in domestic leagues so far this EPL 2019.

6-     Bayern have won just 1 of their last 5 games away to English clubs but are unbeaten in their last 8 domestic games.

Tottenham Hotspur Stadium

epl-2019-Tottenham-vs-Southampton

For all the fantasy football geeks out there, we share prediction tips of league matches that will give them a better shot at predicting and winning. Starting with EPL 2019.

After winning the Premier League opener against Aston Villa and sharing spoils against Manchester City in the next game, it seemed Spurs were primed for a great season and manager Mauricio Pochettino might finally end his trophy draught at the club. However, a string of poor results followed with Spurs winning just 1 of the next 6 games and getting knocked out of the Carabao Cup.

The situation worsened so much that there has been a hint of feud in the team with Pochettino going to the extent of saying that they are unsettled. However, there could hardly have been a better team than Southampton for the last season’s Champions League runners-up to sort things out ahead of a vital Champions League clash with Bayern Munich on Wednesday.

Both teams are seeking to bounce back from a defeat last weekend, against Leicester City and Bournemouth respectively, and secure a third victory of the season.

Tottenham’s performance in EPL 2019:

Spurs’ last eight Premier League victories have come at home. They last had a longer run of wins exclusively at home between April 2000 and January 2001, with 10.

​Spurs will once again be without their high profile summer signing Giovani Lo Celso, who picked up a hip injury whilst on national duty with Argentina. Juan Foyth should be available for selection, though Pochettino is unlikely to risk him. Another new signing, Ryan Sessegnon, will also miss the game with a hamstring injury.

Lucas Moura and Christian Eriksen could find themselves on the bench after few poor showings. Spurs are expected to follow a 4-2-3-1 formation.

Southampton’s performance in EPL 2019:

Moussa Djenepo is the only real injury concern for Southampton, with a muscular strain. Signed from Standard Liege in June, he has already scored twice for the Saints. Danny Ings will likely be rewarded with a start following his brace against Portsmouth.

Southampton are expected to follow a 4-3-3 formation.

Tottenham vs Southampton: Predicted Line-up

Tottenham

Hugo Lloris; Serge Aurier, Toby Alderweireld, Jan Vertonghen, Danny Rose; Harry Winks, Tanguay Ndombele; Dele Alli, Erik Lamela, Son Heung-Min; Harry Kane.

Southampton

Angus Gunn; Cedric Soares, Jan Bednarek, Jannik Vestergaard, Ryan Bertrand; Ward-Prowse, Oriol Romeu, Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg; Nathan Redmond, Che Adams, Ings.

EPL 2019: Tottenham vs Southampton Prediction

  1.  Spurs have won seven of their last eight Premier League home matches against Southampton, losing the other 2-1 in May 2016. However, given the kind of form they are in Southampton can prove to be a tricky opposition and might spring a surprise this EPL 2019.
  2. Southampton are looking to win 3 consecutive top-flight away matches for the first time since February 2015, when they had a run of four.
  3. Spurs have won 81 games against Southampton but 63 defeats, including in their last meeting 6 months ago, suggest the Saints can pile more misery on Pochettino’s side. They had defeated Spurs 3 times in a row from January 2003 to March 2004.
  4. Spurs have lost 10 of their 24 league games in 2019 so far, their most in a single calendar year since 2014, when they had lost 12. Of the sides who haven’t been relegated, only Brighton- 13, Watford- 12, and Bournemouth- 11 have lost more than Spurs.
  5. Harry Kane has scored 4 goals so far this season and given the kind of player he is – he scores in bunches – this can be his game. He has scored 6 goals in his last 4 league games against the Saints.
  6. James Ward-Prowse, who played under Pochettino, has created more chances (9) and attempted more shots (10) than any other Southampton player in the Premier League this season. He famously scored the free-kick in Southampton’s win against Spurs in their last meeting.

EPL-2019-Chelsea-vs-Brighton-&-Hove-Albion

For all the fantasy football geeks out there, we share prediction tips of league matches that will give them a better shot at predicting and winning. Starting with the English Premier League 2019.

After a thumping win in the Carabao Cup, Chelsea host Brighton & Hove Albion FC side, who are unbeaten in their last 2 matches, in their Premier League clash as they look to shake off their shaky start and improve upon their position – they are currently ranked 11th. Chelsea will also be aiming to get their first home league win of the season.

Chelsea’s performance in EPL 2019:

Chelsea have a number of fitness concerns in defence. Emerson Palmieri has been ruled out until after the international break while Antonio Rudiger is likely to miss out again with a groin problem.

Andreas Christensen might recover from twisted knee but is unlikely to start. However, Frank Lampard has a problem of plenty in the midfield with the return to fitness of Mason Mount, Callum Hudson-Odoi. Hudson-Odoi should return to the Premier League squad for the first time since he ruptured his achilles tendon in April.

Chelsea are expected to stick to the 4-3-3 formation they used against Liverpool last week. However, injury to Emerson means Marcos Alonso, who substituted the former in the last game, should start. Andreas Christensen also left that game with injury and should be replaced by Kurt Zouma in the starting XI.

Brighton’s performance in EPL 2019:

Brighton look to be short of options in attack, with Leandro Trossard ruled out, whilst Jose Izquierdo and Alireza Jahanbakhsh are also expected to remain on the sidelines. Solly March missed last weekend’s trip to Newcastle, but Graham Potter is optimistic that he can be back in contention for this game.

Jahanbakhsh is expected to continue with the 3-4-3 line-up.

Chelsea vs Brighton: Predicted Line-up

Chelsea

Kepa; Cesar Azpilicueta, Fikayo Tomori, Marcos Alonso, Kurt Zouma; N’Golo Kante, Jorginho, Mateo Kovacic; Willian, Mason Mount, Tammy Abraham​

Brighton

Mat Ryan; Adam Webster, Lewis Dunk, Dan Burn; Martin Montoya, Davy Propper, Dale Stephens, Steven Alzate; Aaron Mooy, Pascal Gross, Neal Maupay

EPL 2019: Chelsea vs Brighton Prediction

  1.  Chelsea have won all 8 of their league meetings against Brighton & Hove Albion FC. Another win would set the record for the most matches against an opponent while winning each time since Football League began in 1888.
  2. Brighton & Hove Albion FC have taken only 1 point from 13 PL away matches at last season’s top 6 sides. They lost the same fixture 3-0 last season.
  3. Chelsea have failed to keep a clean sheet in any of their last 10 games in all competitions, including all nine under Frank Lampard. They have conceded 13 goals so far- 3rd most in Premier League. However, Brighton have scored just 5 goals so far and have failed to score in 5 of their last 7 away games, so Lampard might finally manage a clean sheet.
  4. Tammy Abraham is 2nd highest goal scorer in the league so far this season with 7 goals. However, he is yet to score a league goal against the Seagulls despite facing them 4 times.
  5. Brighton are aiming to improve their Premier League away record against last season’s top-six sides, having picked up just one point in 13 such matches. Given the way Chelsea, and specially Tammy Abraham, are scoring it looks a herculean task for the Seagulls.
  6. Chelsea have scored 3rd most-highest goal in Premier League this season with majority of that coming from their England stars. Expect Abraham and Co. to improve that tally even though Brighton have a relatively better defensive record. They have conceded 8 goals- only 3 more than Liverpool.

EPL-2019-Sheffield-United-vs-Liverpool

For all the fantasy football geeks out there, we share prediction tips of league matches that will give them a better shot at predicting and winning. Starting with the English Premier League 2019.

Liverpool travel to Bramall Lane to face newly promoted side Sheffield United on Saturday. Liverpool, along with Inter Milan, are the only sides in the top 5 European Leagues to have won all their league games so far and would like to extend their lead at the top of the table to 8 points, at least for a couple of hours.

However, it is not going to be easy against a stubborn Sheffield United side. The Blades have conceded just 6 goals in 6 games so far, the same as Manchester City and Manchester United. However, their problem has been up front as they have scored the fewest goals – just 7.

Liverpool’s performance in EPL 2019:

The ​Premier League leaders could be without 6 members of the 1st– team as injuries start to mount up, though Sadio Mane and Naby Keita are expected to be fit. Mane limped off with injury against Chelsea and with Champions League game in the midweek, Jurgen Klopp might have wished to rest him but injury to Divock Origi might force him to rethink his plans.

Calf and ankle problems mean Alisson, Xherdan Shaqiri and Nathaniel Clyne are also sidelined as Liverpool try to win their 16th straight Premier League game.

Until Jurgen Klopp decides to rotate the squad heavily, keeping in mind the Champions League game against Red Bull Salzburg, he is expected to follow the same formation 4-3-3 and name the same line-up which started against Chelsea.

Sheffield United’s performance in EPL 2019:

Sheffield United have enjoyed splendid start to their 2019/20 campaign, are on course to achieve their pre-season targets. They have given themselves a strong chance of surviving their first season back in the top-flight, with a number of impressive results, including a comeback draw at Chelsea and a 2-0 win at Everton.

There are far fewer fitness concerns for Sheffield manager Chris Wilder than Jurgen Klopp, with Kean Bryan the only player missing for them through injury. Striker Billy Sharp is available following his suspension for a red card versus Southampton in mid-September.

Sheffield are expected to stick to the 3-5-3 formation and the same starting XI which helped them stun Everton last week.

Liverpool vs Sheffield United: Predicted Line-up

Liverpool

Adrian; Trent Alexander-Arnold, Joel Matip, Virgil Van Dijk, Andrew Robertson; Fabinho, Jordan Henderson, Georginio Wijnaldum; Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane, Roberto Firmino.​

Sheffield United

Dean Henderson; Chris Basham, John Egan, Jack O’Connell; George Baldock, Enda Stevens, Oliver Norwood, John Lundstram, John Fleck; Callum Robinson, Oliver McBurnie.

EPL 2019: Liverpool vs Sheffield United Prediction

1-     Liverpool have scored 35 goals and conceded just 4 against the promoted sides in their last 12 Premier League matches. So expect another goal fest from the attacking trio of Mane, Salah and Firmino. However, Norwich City highlighted how Liverpool are yet to find their feet defensively and don’t be surprised if the Blades find the back of the net.

2-     Bramall Lane is one of only 3 grounds where Liverpool have not won a league game despite playing 3 games at the venue. Nottingham Forest’s City Ground (5 matches) and Blackpool’s Bloomfield Road (1) are the 2 other grounds. However, given the kind of form Liverpool are in, this record looks unlikely not to be broken.

3-     There’s no clear favourite based on the head to head record with both sides winning 2 games each and 2 ending in a draw.

4-     Sheffield have not lost 3 consecutive league home games since Feb 2013, when in League 1. The last time it happened at Bramall Lane was in 1990 but it will take an uphill task to stop their fortress from being breached.

5-     All 7 of Sheffield’s Premier League goals this season of EPL 2019 have been scored by different players, including 2 Own Goals. Given the tactics they rely on, they have played the most long balls so far, 8th player may well find his name on the sheet.

6-     Since 2014-15 season, Sheffield manager Chris Wilder has won more English league games and points than any other manager in the top 4 tiers. He has won 125 games and earned 426 points. However, that will count for nothing against the Reds and a thumping defeat may be on card if they don’t focus on their defensive duties.

Leicester City’s performance in EPL 2019:

Leicester City

Leicester boss Brendan Rodgers is still searching for balance in attack. He’s named changes in his attacking line-up in each of his last 3 games in the EPL 2019. Last game against Manchester United at Old Trafford, he went with Vardy as a striker, and Gray and Maddison on the wings. In the game before that, against Bournemouth at home, he went with Vardy as a striker, Marc Albrighton and Harvey Barnes on the wings and Maddison in a roving role. The only constants are Vardy and Maddison, and the rest depends on how much of an attacking threat he feels Tottenham will pose. The defence will remain unchanged.

Tottenham’s performance in EPL 2019:

After a lacklustre start to the season that saw a solitary victory, 2 draws and 1 abysmal loss against Newcastle, Spurs’ season finally sprung to life with a 4-0 thrashing of Crystal Palace. A nice home game would have allowed them to build some momentum, but an away game against Brendan Rodgers’ Leicester City will require them to dig deep to get a win. It will provide a firmer test of their credentials compared to a limp and lost Palace side.

Pochettino rotated heavily for Spurs’ opening Champions League fixture against Olympiacos, and they return home with a 2-2 draw. Kane and Eriksen have been ever-present, and will start again. Moura, who scored against Olympiacos, will make way for Son, who was rested. Alli was substituted in the 2nd half and will probably start again this gameweek. Ndombele will make way for Sissoko.

Spurs will most likely revert to the line-up that served them so well against Crystal Palace, a flexible 4-2-2-2/4-2-3-1 with Eriksen and Alli playing in the half-spaces ahead of Sissoko and Wink and behind Kane and Son.

Leicester City vs Tottenham: Predicted Line-up

Leicester City

Schmeichel; Pereira, Evans, Soyuncu, Chilwell; Ndidi, Tielemans; Gray, Maddison, Barnes; Vardy

Tottenham

Lloris; Sanchez, Alderweireld, Vertonghen, Rose; Winks, Sissoko; Erikssen, Alli; Son, Kane

EPL 2019: Leicester City vs Tottenham Hotspur Prediction

  1. Leicester have 54.6% possession in the English Premier League this season, which rises to 58% at home. Spurs have 57% possession, which drops to 46% in away games. But Spurs away games this season have been versus Manchester City and Arsenal, so that 46% is probably an outlier. Expect Spurs to have more possession and make more passes in the game than Leicester City. 
  2. Both sides have been dangerous going forward. Spurs have 11 goals in the Premier League while Leicester have 6. 4 of Spurs’ 11 came against Crystal Palace and Leicester will probably not be so generous. The only game in which Leicester failed to score was against United, but this game is at home for them. Expect a victory for Spurs, but a narrow victory with both sides scoring. 2-1 to Spurs
  3. Son and Vardy are sure to score. Vardy has 3 goals in his last 3 games, Son scored a double against Palace. With Leicester at home, they will be more susceptible to quick, trademark counters, and with Son’s pace, he is likely to contribute with goals and/or assists. Kane is dangerous any time, but is currently on a slightly “barren” run of 1 goal in 3 games. Against Arsenal, of course.
  4. It will be an aggressive game with both sides committing to the tackle. Sissoko and Winks are no lightweights in midfield, and Leicester could always add Hamza Choudhury to their ranks, should they choose to. Expect Spurs to be aggressive, and to complete more tackles than Leicester in order to win possession back
  5. Tottenham have had more than 10 shots in every game, except the game vs City where they came up with 3. Leicester City, in their quest for defensive solidity, have managed more than 10 shots in only 2 of their 5 games. Tottenham will have more shots and shots on target then Leicester
  6. The assists are likely to be provided by Maddison and Eriksen. Maddison has 2 assists to his name so far in the league, while Eriksen has none.

epl-2019-Manchester-City-vs-Watford

For all the football enthusiasts out there, we share prediction tips for league matches that will give our app users a better shot at predicting and winning. Starting with Premier League Fantasy Football.

Manchester City’s performance in EPL 2019:

Leroy Sane, John Stones, Phil Foden, Benjamin Mendy and Aymeric Laporte are all injured, leaving coach Pep Guardiola with a slight headache ahead of the clash against Watford at home. The injuries to Stones and Laporte, specifically, leave City light at the back with Otamendi the only senior center half fit and available. Fernandinho started at the heart of the defence along with Otamendi in the match against Shakhtar Donetsk in the Champions League, and that is bound to continue in the English Premier League.

Apart from that, there are no other injury concerns, and the only major concern is whether Kevin de Bruyne will start the game after the midweek match. He was substituted in the 77th minute, indicating that he will probably start, and Riyad Mahrez and Ilkay Gundogan will drop back to the bench.

Watford’s performance in EPL 2019:

After last weekend’s hard-fought draw against Arsenal, new/old manager Quique Sanchez Flores will likely start with an unchanged line-up against City. The pressing of the front 4, Gray, Cleverley, Hughes and Deulofeu caused Arsenal all kinds of problems playing out from the back. If he makes a chance, he will drop back Hughes into midfield, and play the pace of Pereyra/Ismaila Sarr to hit City on the counter attack. Troy Deeney will continue to miss out after undergoing a minor surgical procedure in late August.

Manchester City vs Watford: Predicted Line-up

Manchester City

Ederson; Walker, Otamendi, Fernandinho, Zinchenko; Rodri, D. Silva; B. Silva, de Bruyne, Sterling; Aguero

Watford

Foster; Femenia, Dawson, Kabasele, Holebas; Doucoure, Capoue, Hughes; Pereyra, Deulofeu, Gray

EPL 2019: Manchester City vs Watford Prediction

  1. Manchester City will have a lot of possessions in the game this EPL 2019. They average 59% possession in the premier league. Against Norwich, they recovered 69% possession. Expect them to have between 55-70% of the ball
  2. Manchester City will take a lot of shots. They have averaged 20 shots and 8 shots on target per game so far. Watford average 18 shots and 4 shots on target per game. Expect City to outshoot Watford, both on and off-target, and expect Foster to have to make at least 4-5 saves in the game. 
  3. Given that City’s first choice defensive pair are out injured, they will be a little vulnerable defensively and Watford may nick a goal in the game
  4. City have scored 16 times in 5 games this season, while Watford have scored just 4 goals. The scoreline in this game will be comprehensive. Expect a 3-1 to 5-1 victory for Manchester City. They are just too brilliant in attack for a team that is at the bottom of the league
  5. Deulofeu looked dangerous for Watford against Arsenal and was unfortunate to not score. If Watford get their counter-attacking tactics right, Deulofeu could contribute with a goal or an assist
  6. Manchester City have goalscorers all over the team. Aguero has 7 goals this season; Sterling has 5. Gabriel Jesus, Bernando Silva, Kevin de Bruyne and Rodri have all contributed 1 goal each so far. David Silva has 4 assists to his name and Kevin de Bruyne leads both City and the Premier League with 5 assists so far. It is hard to predict who will score or assist for City, but we will go with Sterling, Aguero and Kevin de Bruyne for goals, and de Bruyne, Sterling and Silva to contribute the assists.
