About the Game:

Leicester City is in unfamiliar territory in the bottom half of the table. However, they have weathered many storms this season, with manager Brendan Rodgers a lucky man to keep his job still, but he often features highly in our next manager to be sacked page. New signings have brought joy for the Foxes, with defender Harry Souttar doing well in defence while Brazilian winger Tete scoring the ultimate winning goal has rejuvenated their season. However, they need to make the most of their momentum to improve their position as they sit three points from the red zone and have a demanding schedule in the next three games playing Tottenham (home), Manchester United (away), and Arsenal (home).

Leicester have won just one of their last five games in the head-to-head, with the previous twelve producing a winner (Spurs nine against Leicester three wins), with seven of Tottenham’s nine coming by a multiple-goal margin. Despite the odds seaminglt against them, their recent form is showing improvement, they won 4 – 2 against Villa and drew 2 – 2 against Brighton. They should carry this momentum into the run of three games to move further from the relegation zone.

Kelechi Iheanacho has had three-goal involvement (two goals, one assist) in the last two games. The new signings, Souttar and Tete, have complimented the team in the area of weakness and rejuvenated the team. Harvey Barnes has been rusty lately but is still a lethal attacker cutting in from the left, and if he is clinical enough is a potential match-winner for the Foxes.

Bertrand Ryan, James Justin are sidelined with knee injuries, Jonny Evans has a muscle injury, while Boubakary Soumare has a thigh injury. Spurs, United, and Arsenal set for the next three. Leicester are still in the FA cup and have a decent chance to progress as they have Championship club Blackburn as their opponents in the fifth round.

Bet on Leicester City v Tottenham at bet365

Tottenham Hotspur has performed well without their animated manager Antonio Conte on the sidelines. Tottenham Hotspur produced a magical performance against the defending Champions Manchester City, 1 – 0, following on from a 1 – 0 win against Fulham. They avenged the January 4 – 2 defeat by the champions. They are just one point from the top four, with the promise of European football now seemingly in their grasp for the London side. They have won the last four games against the Foxes and will be full of confidence to take all three points.

Both teams are great counter-attacking football; thus, we anticipate them to try to outdo each other on this tactic. Spurs have recovered from two consecutive defeats against Arsenal (2 – 0) and Manchester City (4 – 2) to win by a narrow margin against City and Fulham (1 – 0).

Harry Kane made a landmark performance becoming the record top scorer for Tottenham Hotspur, surpassing legendary attacker Jimmy Greaves. The Three Lions captain has scored more career goals against Leicester City (twenty) than against any other opposition, including goals in nine of the previous eleven games head-to-head.

Lucas Moura has a calf injury, while Pape Matar Sarr is sidelined with a hip injury. The London side is set for a tight schedule with the return of the Champions League with trips to AC Milan and London derbies against West Ham and Chelsea.

Prediction: Leicester to win.

About the Game:

West Ham comes from a game their manager branded their best performance of the season and will hope they can pull up another impressive performance when they welcome Chelsea to the London Stadium. David Moyes’ side is just one point above the relegation zone but unbeaten in the last two games (1 – 1 draw against Newcastle in the previous match and 2 – 0 against Everton in their previous game here. Extensively, they have lost just once in the last six games in all competitions (three wins, two draws). Their recent home win ended a four-game losing run, but a match against the London Blues, who they have lost the highest number of games (twenty-six, seven wins, twelve draws) after Manchester City. Jarrod Bowen has scored three goals in the last three games and has been influential in their recent resurgence.

Chelsea has arguably the greatest strength in depth after an eventful transfer window; they splash money for fun, making eight acquisitions. The challenge for Graham Potter is how to assemble the expensive toys, which, some you would feel were bought as a trophy, into his system and working team. The Blues are in a poor run of just one win in seven (three draws, three defeats) outings in all competitions, including back-to-back goalless draws. The thirty points accumulated in twenty-one games is their second-lowest total this century. Potter’s forty-one per cent is the lowest win percentage for any Chelsea manager since Glen Hoddle (1996). They have worked on solidifying their defence with Benoit Badiashile partnering with Thiago Silva keeping three consecutive clean sheets (one win, two draws). They now have to work on the attack that has produced just three goals in the last seven games hoping one of the new players will make a mark.

Prediction: Chelsea to win.

About the Game:

Arsenal lost 1 – 0 to Everton to end an impressive thirteen-game unbeaten run in the league. However, the league leaders have Tottenham Hotspur, who beat Manchester City, to thank for maintaining their five-point lead with a game in hand. Mikel Arteta has to inspire his side after two consecutive defeats on the road and did not look as sharp as they have always done throughout the season. They will be delighted to return to the Emirates stadium, hoping to protect their unbeaten home league record (eight wins, one draw). They are on a seven-game winning run in the London derbies, with a win here keeping them within one win of their all-time club record. We expect the Gunners to start brightly here and cause havoc to Brentford. Bakayo Saka has fourteen goal involvements (seven goals, seven assists) and has the most London derby goal contributions (four goals, eight assists) since 2021/22.

Brentford hopes to spoil the North London party building inspiration from their 2 – 0 win in their debut game of the Premier League last season. Thomas Frank’s side is unbeaten in nine games with victories against Liverpool (3 – 1), Manchester City (2 – 1) and a draw against Tottenham (1 – 1) in this run. They collected eleven points from the possible eighteen against the ‘Bix Six’, winning four and drawing two. They are the David in this encounter, scoring eleven times and conceding just seven times against the top six Goliaths. The Bees are buzzing in their second season with a European place within reach. David Raya has helped the London side to keep two clean sheets in their last two travels, which is more than in their twenty-four games combined. <a href=”/uk/football/”>Football betting</a> fans might be tempted to back an upset here, <a href=”/uk/bet365/”>bet365</a> are offering 13/2 on Arsenal getting stung. 

Prediction: Arsenal to win.

Crystal Palace v Brighton

• Venue: Selhurst Park
• Sat 11 Feb 15:00
• Referee: Michael Oliver
• Quick Glance Odds H: 11/4 D: 5/2 A: 1/1

About the Game:

In their last match, Crystal Palace lost 2 – 1 to Manchester United to extend their winless run to five games (drawing two, losing three). Patrick Viera has only gone six games without a win once and will be hoping to avoid a repeat of this streak to avoid engagement with relegation drama. The Eagles have to work on their defence as they have conceded the second-worst tally of home goals (sixteen), eclipsed by the bottom of the league side, Southampton (seventeen). Goalkeeper Vicente Guaita has never lost a match against the Seagulls in five appearances (two wins, three draws) and could inspire the team to avoid conceding. The absence of Wilfred Zaha could affect the team’s attack, but his replacement Micheal Olise has been showing promise as a great attacker who could make his mark here. The Frenchman’s goal against Manchester United won his side their last point in a goal-scoring encounter. 

Brighton has been going from strength to strength this season, delivering impressive performances despite a managerial change that shock their progress. They sit comfortably in the top six after a hard-fought 1 – 0 win against Bournemouth despite missing critical members of their starting eleven. The Seagulls have found the back of the net in each of the last ten appearances (winning six, drawing one, losing three). Roberto de Zerbi’s short fourteen-game spell has propelled Brighton to their best-ever point tally (thirty-four) at this stage of the Premier League. They have been impressive on the road, with three wins in the last four games (one draw); scoring twelve goals means they will be a menace for the struggling Crystal Palace side. Kaoru Mitoma has scored in three consecutive games and is making a name for himself among the league’s greatest. 

Prediction: A draw.

• Venue: Craven Cottage

• Referee: Andy Madley
• Quick Glance Odds H: 909/1000 D: 5/2 A: 16/5

About the Game:

Fulham’s run of four consecutive wins has been accompanied by three winless games (two defeats, one draw). Marco Silva’s side’s poor run of form has been attributed to a lack of goals, as they have scored just two goals in the last five games. The run has dented their European qualification hopes. Still, for a newly promoted side, a top-half-of-the-table finish should be enough, with the Cottagers sitting fourteen points from the relegation zone. So, you would understand why they have taken their foot off the gas. Aleksandar Mitrovic, in particular, has not scored a goal since January 3rd but has eleven goals to his name is a lethal attacker that can make his mark in any game.

The travelling side is living their dream in the Premier League, unbeaten in the previous five games (three wins, one draw). The run has moved them from the bottom of the table to sit thirteenth, six points safe from the red zone. The Foresters face fellow promoted side, Fulham hoping to revenge the 3 – 2 defeat at the City Ground as they are in better form than them. Steve Cooper’s side has improved most in the Premier League since the World Cup break. They have conceded just two goals in five games and have anchored their attack. However, they have scored more than one goal once in five games and thus must maintain their defensive masterpiece to keep performing. In the previous four games, Brennan Johnson has had four goal involvements (three goals and one assist).

Prediction: Fulham to win.

Southampton v Wolves

• Quick Glance Odds H: 19/10 D: 11/5 A: 31/20

About the Game:

Southampton sits bottom of the Premier League table and is threatened by relegation. Manager Nathan Jones has an arduous task to turn the season around after insisting he was a ‘unicorn’ appointment when he replaced Ralph Hassenhuttl in November. He oversaw his side being booed off after another dismal performance experiencing their sixth defeat in seven games (one win) under the Welshman. Concern for the team is on the attacking end, as they have failed to score the opening goal in all the matches under Jones. The tally of fifteen points after twenty-one games was the lowest at this stage since 2004-05 when they were relegated. The Saints have the worst home record accumulating six points in ten games (one win, three draws, seven defeats). Che Adams has been on the winning team in fifteen of twenty-two games he scored (three draws, four losses).

Wolves have won the previous four head-to-head games and thus will be full of confidence travelling to St. Mary’s, where they have won in each of their last three games in this stadium. The Wanderers won the previous match 3 – 0 against Liverpool and will be hoping to make it consecutive wins in the league for the first time this campaign. They have only collected six points in away games this season is an area they have to improve, however. Julen Lopentagui’s side is now two points above the red zone, but with just five points separating them and bottom-placed Southampton, there is a sense of urgency to continue to get results. The Spaniard has slowly influenced his side’s mentality have recorded three wins in six games (one draw, two defeats). Daniel Podence scored the winning strike against Southampton in September and is in contention to be the match-winner again.

Prediction: Wolves to win.

About the Game:

Bournemouth has earned just a single point in six games (one draw, five defeats) since the resumption of football after the World Cup break. The form sees them in the red zone among teams, and they need to improve their performance to avoid being relegated in a consecutive season after promotion. Gary O’Neil’s job is under fire, especially for failing to improve the team in the attack, as they have been unable to score a goal in each of their last five defeats since the break. However, they hope to improve on the 1 – 1 scoreline in the reverse fixture, which should be a good result against the most improved team in the Premier League. New acquisition Dango Ouattara hasn’t made his mark in the goal-scoring department but provides an aerial threat, with his last two goals being headers.

Newcastle United will be hoping to get back to winning ways as they keep an eye on the Champions League qualification. It’s glory days again for the Magpies faithful with a Carabao Cup final to look forward to, which could see them win their first title in twenty-four years. Eddie Howe has overseen four draws in five games have to improve on their mentality to get the job done. They dropped points from the winning position in the previous match, something they had not done since August 31st, which shows a drift in form for the side. The defence has been rock solid as ever and the best in the league, conceding just twelve goals all season. They are in contention for a fourth consecutive away shutout. Callum Wilson will be against his former side after returning to scoring ways in their game against West Ham; he has four of his last five goals being match-opening goals.

Prediction: Newcastle to win.

• Quick Glance Odds H: 3/1 D: 14/5 A: 17/20

About the Game:

Managerial bounce has been a Premier League trend, and Leeds United benefited from this concept at Old Trafford to earn a much-needed point from the Red Devils. The Whites scored two quick goals in the opening half but struggled in the second half, eventually conceding twice in the final half-hour. They are now on an eight-game winless run (four draws, four defeats), but with such a performance against United, you will expect their fortunes to turn around soon. They face Erik ten Hag’s side for a second time in a week, hoping they can get the job done and take all three points with home advantage. The American midfield duo of Weston McKennie and Tyler Adams could be the masterpiece to marshal Leeds from the relegation scramble. They outplayed Manchester United in the centre of the park, winning every battle to control the game in the first half, and we expect them to be a menace once again.

Manchester United was stunned by Leeds and let slip an incredible opportunity to move close to the top two and earn the right to be considered a title contender. Erik ten Hag is building a solid side that started with their mentality, as we saw when they came from two goals down to earn a crucial point. However, Leeds produces a real test of resilience to the progress of United, who has a tough week with games against Barcelona in the Europa League. They are winless in two Premier League away games (one defeat, one draw), and have recorded six losses (four wins, one draw) in the previous eleven games they played on a Sunday. Therefore, they will have to face a real test at Elland Road. Jadon Sancho recorded two assists in this arena last season and has made a goal-scoring comeback; he will be motivated to perform well.

Prediction: Leeds United to win.

• Referee: Robert Jones
• Quick Glance Odds H: 1/4 D: 11/2 A: 11/1

About the Game:

The defending Champions seem to be struggling on the pitch, mirroring the issues they face off the pitch. Pep Guardiola has produced masterclass tactics to win four of the previous five Premier League titles but has seen his genius plans outwitted in recent games. Manchester City had a clear chance to move within two points of the league leaders Arsenal ahead of the game on February 15th that they could potentially overtake them. However, they spurred the chance with their manager deciding to bench Kevin De Bruyne and saw his team beaten 1 – 0 by Tottenham Hotspur. A second defeat in four games would be a concern. However, a home game against Villa ahead of Arsenal should get them on track and motivate them to take the chance to overtake the Gunners. Erling Haaland has been the subject of criticism for his lack of involvement off the ball, but with four goals in the last two home games, the Norwegian is one to watch out for here.

Aston Villa’s run of four games unbeaten (three wins, one draw) came crushing in the hands of Leicester City, losing 4 – 2. However, they have enjoyed a stellar spell that saw them elevated to midtable in position eleven and even potential challengers for a European place where their manager Julen Lopetegui is an expert. Eleven points separate them from a fifth place; Tottenham shows they need to replicate the run they were in to keep the pace of the challenge. They could regret letting their top scorer, Danny Ings (six goals), leave for West Ham, but Ollie Watkins has scored excellently in the previous two games. Their best performance in five games against Manchester City was in the first leg of this encounter managing a 1 – 1 draw (four defeats )at Villa Park. They need to be at their best to get a result at Etihad.

Prediction: Manchester City  to win.

About the Game:

The Merseyside derby promises to be a spectacle, with the form of Everton expected to shake the resilience of Liverpool. It’s a trying time to be a Reds fan after all the success they have celebrated under the tenure of Jurgen Klopp, including a Premier League and Champions League title. They are now struggling in position ten, twenty-one points off league leaders Arsenal and eleven behind fourth place Newcastle. Four winless games have seen them concede three goals in three of the four and score just one goal in this run, a considerable concern. The defence can be excused for the absence of Virgil Van Dijk, who has been a rock, but the attack led by Mohammed Salah (seven goals, four assists) has been spurring chances. Darwin Nunez (five goals) and new signing Cody Gakpo must catch up quickly and improve the team’s performance.

Everton gave a classic performance to beat league leaders Arsenal and kickstart the new reign under manager Sean Dyche. The three points were crucial but were not enough to move them out of the bottom three; that makes this game more critical, as it could be their turnaround against the relegation battle. They were not lucky in the win but bossed Arsenal, especially in midfield, with Amadou Onana, Idrissa Gueye, and Abdoulaye Doucore producing a masterclass performance with energy and precision. Dyche seems to have found the right workforce to deliver his masterpiece, and coming against a struggling Liverpool side, especially in midfield; they stand a realistic chance to outwit their neighbours. Dominic Calvert-Lewin was a constant menace in the attack, and despite not scoring since October last year, you can feel with the work he puts on the pitch, his goal will come soon.

Prediction: Everton to win.
