PREMIER LEAGUE WEEK 17

Crystal Palace Vs Chelsea

Early kick off this weekend will see the table leaders Chelsea travel to Selhurst Park in London to face Crystal Palace, the Blues are six points clear on the table and they will have a chance to make it nine before teams like Arsenal and Liverpool play, Chelsea managed a 1:0 win on Wednesday against Sunderland but they had also got a 1:0 win against westbromwich over the weekend, what matters is 3 points despite the magnitude of the win but you can’t keep winning 1:0, you are bound to lose points at one point and this makes me think its time up for Chelsea, I can’t whether it will be this weekend but soon Chelsea will be held to a draw or even lose all points, on the other side Crystal Palace was unlucky on Wednesday when they contended a late goal from Zlatan and they lost to Manu 2:1, they now host Chelsea who have gone ten games winning, I hope Crystal Palace won’t be unlucky again Chelsea will either win Convincing or they lose points tomorrow but am giving the home side a point, Crystal Palace 1:1 Chelsea

West Bromwich Vs Manchester United

Manchester United play West Bromwich this weekend The Hawthorns stadium home of West Bromwich and I think its United’s huge test that last weekend, United struggled to win Crystal Palace on Wednesday and I think West Bromwich is more solid and organized than Crystal Palace, United will be playing without Eric Bailly and Mkhitaryan but Pogba and Zlatan are available, United have been playing well but they struggle to get results, even where they get them they are very hard earned like a win against Spurs, they have failed to win games with many goals and this will keep costing them a lot, when playing a team like West Bromwich that is in 7th Position with just 4 points behind United, you need to have all odds on your side and be able to convert all your chances but even if that was the case, West Bromwich hasn’t been easy at home and I see United no exception, they will get their equal share from the home side, am giving West Bromwich a point out of this but they can even get three points, West Bromwich 2:2 Manchester United

Stoke City Vs Leicester City

Stoke city hosts Leicester this weekend hoping to get a win at home from the defending champions, the Leicester City side were humbled by Bournemouth midweek when most of us expected them to shine from what display showed against Manchester City over the weekend, they were beaten 1:0 by Bournemouth and now they have to travel to Bet365 Stadium to face Stoke City who in my view will even be more complicated but I hope Ranieri Leicester City boss will ensure at least they get a point out of this game or even go ahead to win away and get three points, I will give this an away win, Stoke City 1:2 Leicester City

Manchester City Vs Arsenal

The game of the weekend this time is in the Manchester town at Etihad Stadium home of Manchester City as they battle it out with Arsenal, City is in 4th position with 33 points and Arsenal in 3rd position with 34 points just a point’s difference and a win from the home side will see them come top of Arsenal by two points, Manchester City managed a 2:0 home win against Watford midweek exactly what they needed to help them recover from Leicester City shock over the weekend where they were 3 goals down with in just the first 20 minutes of the game, Arsenal on the other side registered their 2nd loss of the season midweek against Everton , the gunners scored first in this game in first half from Sanchez’s free kick but later the home side got an equalizer just a minute before half time from Coleman’s header in the 44th minute and Everton got the winning goal in the 86th minute from defender Ashley Williams and it was too late for the gunners to recover, its possible for Arsenal to lose 6 points in just three for Arsenal and Sunday will be the day they face their test, but history seems to favor Arsenal in all odds from their last six meetings with City Arsenal has not lost any game, the gunners have won 4 and drawn 2 but this season has seen new chapters recorded, we can only wait and see, but from my side I don’t see Arsenal winning but I will give them a point as well, Manchester City 2:2 Arsenal

Tottenham Hotspur Vs Burnley

Tottenham host Burnley this Sunday at white hart lane hoping to maintain their position firm in 5th place, Tottenham were on the winning side midweek against Hull city scoring three goals against the visitors Eriksen scored twice and Kenyan international Victor Wanyama was on score sheet as well, they now host Burnley who I think has one of the best goal keepers in the league - Tom Heaton but also has a good defending approach but always break once in a while, Burnley lost 1:0 to West ham midweek but unfortunately I think it will another loss weekend, Tottenham has started picking up their rhythm of form a few weeks ago and I think it will be hard for Burnley to stop them, Tottenham Hotspur 2:0 Burnley

Everton Vs Liverpool

Monday night football return with merseyside derby - The Merseyside derby is the name given to football matches between Everton and Liverpool, two major clubs from Liverpool, in the metropolitan county of Merseyside in England. It is the longest running top-flight derby in England, having been played at that level since the 1962–63 season, Everton comes into this fixture with their heads help up high having beaten Arsenal midweek, but also Liverpool got their winning ways back midweek against Middlesbrough where Adam Lallana scored twice and Origi managed to score his 5th goal in 5 appearances, in the last three Liverpool visits at Goodison park Liverpool has not won but also hasn’t been beaten either, all being draws but they have managed to beat Everton at home twice and drew once as well, it will a tight fixture for Liverpool side and being a derby anything can happen, Sadio is playing his last games before he sets off for African cup yet to kick off in January and this fixture is one of his main assignments before he sets off, Liverpool also expect to maintain the 28 year old Belgium goal keeper Simon Mignolet hoping to stop the like Lukaku and Bolaise from scoring, I see a very open interesting game with a higher chance on Liverpool side if they manage to convert their chances well, Everton 1:3 Liverpool
