Premier League Predictions & Tips
Leicester City v Chelsea - Saturday, 12.30pm
Correct Score - 1:3
After three away games on the bounce, Leicester City return to the King Power Stadium on Saturday to face Chelsea in the Premier League. – Check out our Premier League odds.
The international break probably came at the right time for Steve Cooper and Leicester with the Foxes winless in their last four games across all competitions, facing defeat in three of those. Following back-to-back victories in October, Leicester City had given themselves a bit of breathing space from those relegation places but now find themselves just three points above the relegation zone prior to the visit of Chelsea, I’m sure the foxes will just be looking to avoid defeat in this one.
Enzo Maresca will return to Leicester and it’ll be interesting to see the reaction he gets from those fans that used to sing his name on a weekend, it should be a good one given the Italian secured promotion with the Foxes. Of course, he’ll be hoping it’s a successful visit as his Chelsea side look to continue their progression this season with an aim to finish in the top four, something they’ve started strongly with as the Blues occupy third in the Premier League ahead of this fixture. They have played out two stalemates in their last two league outings, although both games were tough on paper, a trip to Old Trafford before a visit from Arsenal, it’s been a solid start for the Blues.
Chelsea have enjoyed their last two visits to this ground, scoring three on both occasions and taking home three points, I think we could see the Blues with another victory in this one. Here you can find all our latest football predictions.
To Finish In Top 4 - Chelsea
Chelsea have impressed this season and will be hoping to finish in the top four in Enzo Maresca’s first year in charge.
Arsenal v Nottingham Forest - Saturday, 3pm
Correct Score - 2:1
Arsenal will be looking forward to return to the Emirates on Saturday, they welcome Nottingham Forest after playing four games in a row on the road. – Check out our latest Premier League odds.
Mikel Arteta will feel like the international break came at the right time for his side, the Gunners have now gone three games without a victory, two defeats against Newcastle and Inter Milan was followed up with a 1-1 draw in a London derby against Chelsea. Mikel Arteta’s side will be glad to be back on home soil, they’ve lost just one of their last nineteen games here across all competitions and will be relying on their home faithful to get their season back on track. It’s not over for Arsenal but they are definitely up against it in terms of their title chances, with eleven games played they are now nine points behind the leaders Liverpool and four behind Manchester City.
Nottingham Forest head into their trip to North London on Saturday afternoon on level points with their opponents, the Tricky Trees find themselves in fifth place after the first eleven games, not something that many had predicted. Nuno Espirito Santo’s side have had nearly two-weeks to reflect on their disappointing 3-1 defeat against Newcastle in their last outing, it’s a big ask for the Reds in this one but having beaten Liverpool and taken a point off Chelsea on the road, it’s not impossible for Forest to cause an upset.
I don’t think this will be straight forward for the Gunners but I think they’ve got enough to grab themselves a narrow victory against a very organised Forest side. Here you can find all our football betting tips.
Betting Without Man City - Arsenal
Can Arsenal close the gap and take home the Premier League title under Mikel Arteta?
Aston Villa v Crystal Palace - Saturday, 3pm
Double Chance and Total Goals Over/Under - Aston Villa or Draw and Under (2.5)
An out of form Aston Villa will be looking to bounce back as they welcome Crystal Palace to Villa Park on Saturday afternoon.
Unai Emery’s side are really struggled lately and they could be another side that actually welcomed the international break. The Villans are now winless in their last five games across all competitions and have suffered defeat in all of their last four, a run of games which started with a 2-1 loss to no other than Crystal Palace at the end of October in the EFL Cup. Those four loses included a hammering away to Spurs, a shock defeat against Club Brugge in the UEFA Champions League and then a 2-0 defeat an Anfield in their last outing, leaving Villa nineth in the league, although they are only one point off the top three, it’s vital that they get back to winning ways as soon as possible.
Oliver Glasner appears to have retained the backing of the Crystal Palace board during the international break despite the Eagles winning just one of their first eleven games in the Premier League. Palace sit in the relegation zone prior to their trip to the West Midlands on Saturday but will take confidence from the fact they won here less than a month ago. However, that victory came in the cup and Glasner’s side remain one of just four sides that are yet to win on the road in the league so far. It’s not been a start to the season which has been full of entertainment either for the Palace fans, their games have produced the least number of goals per game (2.1) in the PL.
Villa have won four of the last five league games on home soil against Crystal Palace, I don’t think they’ll be too much in this one but I think Villa could pile the pressure on Oliver Glasner.
To Finish In Top 4 - Aston Villa
Will Aston Villa be able to make it consecutive seasons with a top four finish?
