This weekend’s Premier League fixtures promise to be an exciting affair, with crucial matches at both ends of the table.
Manchester City vs Liverpool
The highlight of the weekend will be the clash between reigning champions Manchester City and league leaders Liverpool. City will be eager to bounce back from their midweek Champions League elimination, and they can take positives from their recent 4-0 victory over Newcastle United. The Citizens currently sit in fourth place, but they will be wary of Bournemouth, Chelsea, and Newcastle United, who are hot on their heels. Liverpool, on the other hand, have won only one of their last four matches in all competitions, and their lead at the top could be cut to five points if Arsenal win their game in hand. This encounter is expected to be a thrilling one, and the prediction is a 2-3 victory for Liverpool.
Other Matchday 26 Predictions
The action kicks off on Friday night with Brentford’s visit to Leicester City. The Foxes, currently in 19th place, will be desperate for a win to move out of the relegation zone, but Brentford’s strong away form could see them come away with a 1-2 victory.
Everton, one of the league’s in-form teams, will host Manchester United at Goodison Park. The Toffees’ defensive organization and ability to grind out results under David Moyes could see them pick up a 2-0 victory over the struggling Red Devils.
Bournemouth, who currently lie just one point behind Manchester City, will be aiming to climb into the top four when they host Wolverhampton Wanderers. The Cherries’ impressive form and Wolves’ porous defense could lead to a comfortable 3-0 home win.
Arsenal will look to cut the gap at the top further when they host West Ham United. The Gunners’ attacking prowess should be enough to secure a 2-1 victory, despite the Hammers’ recent upturn in form.
Fulham and Crystal Palace will meet in a London derby, with both teams coming into the game on the back of positive results. A 1-1 draw is the predicted outcome.
In the final match of the weekend, struggling Southampton will host Brighton & Hove Albion. The Seagulls, who beat Chelsea last weekend, should have enough to secure a 1-3 victory and keep their European qualification hopes alive.
