naijabet.com

After suffering just one defeat in their opening 10 home matches of the season, Everton have slipped to two defeats in their last three matches at Goodison Park. They were knocked out of the FA Cup at the weekend and their season is effectively over.

Manchester City have won five of their last six matches in all competitions and will be well rested when they make the trip to Everton having not played in over a week. Their away form has been patchy and Everton are usually tough sides to beat for the top teams, but they won’t have a better opportunity to come away from Goodison Park with three points here.

City have only won two of their last six matches away to Everton but should put that record straight this weekend. NaijaBet.com

naijabet.com

Leicester are unbeaten in three matches for just the second time this season heading into their home clash with Premier League leaders Chelsea.

Chelsea bounced back from their 2-0 defeat to Tottenham with a 4-1 win over Peterborough in the FA Cup third round.

Now they must focus their attentions on maintaining their five point lead at the top, which could increase if Liverpool drop points to Manchester United on Sunday.

Leicester’s results at home have been relatively solid and this will not be an easy fixture for Chelsea despite the notable drop off in form from Leicester in comparison to last season. Naija and Bet

Swansea have proved difficult opponents for Arsenal in the past but most of their success has come at Arsenal. On home soil they have lost three of their last four against the Gunners. Naija and Bet

Match Preview : Tottenham vs West Bromwich Albion

naijabet.com

Tottenham’s 2-0 win over Chelsea last time out in the league means they have now won their last five and they will look to put pressure on the Blues in Saturday’s early kick off.

Victory would move them to within four points of their London rivals, but wins at home against West Brom have been few and far between in recent years.

Indeed, Spurs have won just one of their last five home league meetings with West Brom and have failed to win their last four against the Baggies at White Hart Lane.

As solid as the Baggies have been, they have won just one of their last four on the road, while Tottenham boast the second best home record in the division. Place your bet on NaijaBet.com

After seeing their title chances dented by West Brom last season, Spurs should exact revenge and improve their chances of domestic glory with a narrow win here.

Match Preview : Tottenham vs Chelsea

naijabet.com

Tottenham have won their last two league games 4-1 and have secured victory in their last four. Spurs are also unbeaten in their last three home league meetings with Chelsea, including a memorable 5-3 win this time two years ago.

Chelsea’s 4-2 win over Stoke saw them match Arsenal’s 13-match Premier League winning run and victory against Spurs would see them set a new record. They have conceded just one goal in their last six away league games – a Gary Cahill own goal against Manchester City – and remain tough to break down.

Spurs have hit form at just the right time, though, and could end Chelsea’s winning run in front of their own fans on Wednesday night. Naijabet.com

Team News

Tottenham – Kyle Walker and Jan Vertonghen both return from suspension after missing the 4-1 win at Watford on Sunday and should come into the starting XI.

Match Preview : Stoke vs Watford

Stoke came close to ending Chelsea’s stunning winning run but ended up losing 4-2. Mark Hughes will expect nothing other than three points against an injury hit Watford side on Tuesday night to end their run of five games without a win.

Watford were humilated 4-1 by Tottenham last time out and are struggling to cope with a number of key absences. With fixtures coming thick and fast their poor run of form should really continue here. The Hornets have lost three of their last four. Naijabet.com

There have been under 2.5 goals in five of the last six meetings between these teams and that could continue here. Stoke haven’t even scored in the last four matches they’ve hosted against Watford but that should end here.

Team News

Stoke – Marko Arnautovic is free to return to the team after serving a three-match ban. His return could mean Stoke revert back to their usual back four.

Match Preview : Bournemouth vs Arsenal

naijabet.com

Bournemouth bounced back from back-to-back defeats with a resounding 3-0 win at Swansea at New Year’s Eve and will hope to take advantage of the extra day’s rest ahead of the welcome of Arsenal.

The Cherries, however, have lost their three Premier League meetings with the north London outfit, conceding seven in the process.

Following back-to-back losses, Arsenal have secured back-to-back wins following victories over West Brom and Crystal Palace. That being said, they have won just one of their last four away Premier League games, with the two defeats coming at Everton and Manchester City.

Bournemouth will be confident on home turf, but Arsenal could make it three successive league wins when they make the trip to the Vitality Stadium on Tuesday night. Place your bet on Naijabet.com
