Match Preview : Bournemouth vs Leicester

naijabet.com

A 3-2 loss at Burnley on Saturday means Bournemouth have won just two of their last seven Premier League fixtures. However, they are still six points above the bottom three, so are in no immediate danger of being dragged into the relegation battle.

Leicester’s 4-2 win over Manchester City was their first Premier League victory since mid-October and Claudio Ranieri will look to build on the three points gained to pull away from the relegation zone. Naijabet.com

The Foxes, though, have one of the worst away records in the league, having taken just one point from seven away games this term.

Bournemouth have been strong at home this season and could worsen Leicester’s away woes here.

Bournemouth – Eddie Howe is without Lewis Cook, Andrew Surman and Junior Stanislas through injury.

Match Preview : Everton vs Arsenal

Everton’s 3-2 loss at Watford means the Toffees have won just one of their last 10 Premier League fixtures. After a strong start to the season, Koeman’s side are now down in ninth and face an uphill task to return to winning ways against Arsenal.

The Gunners have won their last three league meetings with Everton and are unbeaten away from home in the Premier League this term. Wenger’s team have lost just twice in all competitions this term and will be confident of inflicting further damage upon an underwhelming Toffees outfit.

It may be close, but Arsenal have the means to come away from Goodison Park with all three points. Place your bet on Naijabet.com

PL Match Preview : Liverpool vs West Ham

Liverpool were pegged back from 3-1 up to lose 4-3 at Bournemouth last week and Jurgen Klopp will demand a much-improved performance from his players on Sunday. The return of Joel Matip in defence is a huge boost for the Reds.

A 5-1 thumping at the hands of Arsenal last weekend means West Ham have failed to win their last five league games as pressure mounts on Slaven Bilic. They did, however, secure a 3-0 win in this fixture last season and Bilic would love nothing more than a repeat of the victory.

That is unlikely to happen, though, with Liverpool overwhelming favourites to secure the win. Naijabet.com

Liverpool – Georginio Wijnaldum could come in for Emre Can, with the latter carrying a minor knock and may not be risked.

Joe Gomez and Sheyi Ojo are both available to Jurgen Klopp, though are unlikely to start.

PL Match Preview : Manchester United vs Tottenham

naijabet.com

Manchester United are playing well but are being punished for their inability to convert the chances they are creating. They are six points behind Tottenham and a defeat here would surely put an end to their chances of finishing in the top four let alone the title.

Tottenham have started to find some rhythm in recent weeks and also need a win to keep pace with the four teams in front of them. Mauricio Pochettino’s side start the weekend three points behind Manchester City, although that gap could be more by the time they kick off on Sunday.

Jose Mourinho’s side haven’t won back-to-back games in all competitions since September but the need to beat Tottenham here is huge and Mourinho will ensure the players know that before the game.

This is a tough match to call, in which Tottenham should be very confident of getting a result. The way in which United are playing, they need to be at least two goals ahead with five minutes remaining to see out the win. Place your bet on Naijabet.com

Manchester United – Eric Bailly marked his return to first-team action with a solid 90-minute showing against Zorya in the Europa League on Thursday and will partner Phil Jones at the heart of Manchester United’s defence on Sunday.

PL Match Preview : Chelsea vs West Bromwich Albion

naijabet.com

Chelsea continue to impress and are now three points clear at the top of the Premier League after their 3-1 win away to Manchester City last weekend. Eight league wins in a row is their best run of form in a single season since 2007, when they won nine in a row.

West Brom are also in top form and have even scored more goals (20) than Manchester United this season (19). From the start of November only Chelsea (12) have won more points in the league than the Baggies (10), so this is not an easy fixture for Conte’s men.

Chelsea have actually only won one of their last six against West Brom, and with the Baggies playing their best football in some time, may not extend their winning run here. Naijabet.com

Team News

Chelsea – Chelsea come into Sunday’s home meeting against West Brom with fresh injury concerns. Nemanja Matic missed their 3-1 win overManchester City with a muscle problem sustained in training, while Pedro and Diego Costa were forced off during the match with knocks.

All three are expected to recover in time to start, although Cesc Fabregas and Willian are on standby. Oscar, however, is ill and will not feature.

PL Match Preview : Leicester vs Manchester City

Manchester City need a response after their 3-1 defeat to Chelsea in which they completely lost their heads towards the end. They are four points adrift of the league leaders but come up against the perfection opposition to get back on track.

Leicester are winless in five league matches and even carried their poor domestic form into the Champions League in midweek after being thrashed 5-0 away to Porto. They have only lost one league game at home this season, but are now only two points above the bottom three.

City have won three of their last four away from home in the league and should have enough to overcome some key absences on Saturday. Just one clean sheet in their last 16 matches in all competitions does at least give Leicester a glimmer of hope. Naijabet.com

Leicester – Claudio Ranieri made wholesale changes for Leicester’s final Champions League group stage match which they lost 5-0 to Porto. He will recall all of his usual starts for the reception of Manchester City on Saturday.

Danny Drinkwater featured in Leicester’s defeat to Porto in midweek, but completes his three-match ban here.

PL Match Preview : Arsenal vs Stoke

naijabet.com

Arsenal are enjoying a good moment of form after scoring nine goals in their last two matches following their surprise 2-0 League Cup exit at home to Southampton.

They have the chance to go top of the Premier League if they can beat Stoke by a two-goal margin, although with Chelsea set to play on Sunday that may only prove temporary.

Stoke are also enjoying their football at the moment and their poor start to the season is well behind them. They have won four of their last six in the league to move into the top 10.

They are unbeaten in their last four matches but the idea Arsenal struggle against them has changed in recent years. The Potters have not scored in any of their last three matches against Arsenal and have lost each of the last six at the Emirates. Place your bet on Naijabet.com

Arsenal – Arsene Wenger rotated his squad in the 4-1 win over Basel in the Champions League in midweek but could name a more familiar XI this weekend. Lucas Perez scored a hat-trick in the win and will be hoping to retain his place at home to Stoke on Saturday.

PL Match Preview : West Ham vs Arsenal

naijabet.com

West Ham’s season went from bad to worse during the week. They were not only dumped out of the EFL Cup but injuries picked up to Michail Antonio and Aaron Cresswell has heaped further misery on Slaven Bilic ahead of the reception of Arsenal.

The Hammers have failed to win any of their last five in all competitions and are only above the bottom three on goal difference. Despite what has been a turbulent transition into the London Stadium, West Ham are unbeaten in their last four home matches across all competitions.

Arsenal also come into this match off the back of a disappointing cup exit in midweek, but they will field an almost entirely different team this weekend. The Gunners have only managed one win in their last five competitive matches but they are still unbeaten away from home this season. Naijabet.com

West Ham are unbeaten in their last two matches against Arsenal, which should give Bilic’s side some confidence ahead of this fixture. Andy Carroll scored a hat-trick in this corresponding 3-3 draw last season and could make a return to the starting XI here after a three-month absence through injury.

His availability could change the outcome of this London derby, although Arsenal should still come away with three points to keep pace with their title rivals.

PL Match Preview : Tottenham vs Swansea

naijabet.com

Tottenham succumbed to a 2-1 loss at Chelsea last time out and means they have won just one of their last 10 competitive outings.

They have, though, won their five home league meetings with Swansea and should be confident of returning to winning ways here.

Swansea’s 5-4 win at Crystal Palace last weekend ended an 11-game winless run in all competitions. Victory lifted the Swans off the foot of the table and within two points of a place outside the relegation zone.

However, Spurs have what it takes to inflict defeat upon the Swans.

Tottenham – Danny Rose returns from suspension having sat out the 2-1 loss at Chelsea and is expected to come back into the XI in place of Kevin Wimmer. Naija and Bet

Mauricio Pochettino, though, is without Ben Davies and Erik Lamela due to injury.

PL Match Preview : Manchester City vs Chelsea

naijabet.com

This eagerly anticipated fixture will see two of the most tactically astute managers come together in what could land an early blow in the destination of the Premier League title.

Chelsea have won each of their last seven matches in the Premier League and are currently one-point clear of Manchester City ahead of Saturday’s early kick-off.

Antonio Conte’s side have only conceded one-goal in that time, meaning City will need to be at their best to break down Chelsea’s defence. Naijabet

City, meanwhile, have only kept two clean sheets all season and aren’t in their best moment despite being unbeaten in their last six league matches.

Each of their last two matches have only been settled by a one-goal margin and they will need to improve if they are to become the first team to stop Chelsea from winning since September.
