Arsenal Vs Hull City

This weekend’s premier league early kickoff opener will see Arsenal host Hull city at Emirates stadium, Arsenal lost their last two league games 2:1 and 3:1 against Watford and Chelsea respectively, that makes their defense very easy to break having conceded 5 goals in just two games, on the other side Hull city is 3rd last on the table but were flying over the weekend with clean three points from KCOM Stadium against struggling Liverpool that have failed to register even a single win in their last five games, Hull city is fighting relegation and they know what exactly it means to get a point or even three points on a good note, they are a very highly motivated side under the orders of their new manager Marco Silva and am sure Arsenal will find this very hard but I think with the pressure on Arsenal manager Arsenal Wenger, Arsenal players will have to help their manager and secure this win at their own home ground, I will go for an Arsenal win, Arsenal 2:1 Hull City


Manchester United Vs Watford


Manchester United are still in 6th position even after a very superb run of winning but this may be reversed if they win this weekend and Liverpool or Arsenal stumbles again, United is just one point behind Liverpool and two points behind Arsenal, any team loses points at this level United takes over their position, United looks like they are not about to lose points having beaten Leicester City 3:0 over the weekend but Watford also managed a win against Arsenal in midweek and another 2:1 win against Burnley over the weekend but still I don’t see them frustrating United at all, Mourinho seems to have gotten a perfect first team and he has no threating injuries at the moment the more reason I think Watford will be punished this weekend, I will go for an easy home win, Manchester United 3:0 Watford


Liverpool Vs Tottenham Hotspur

Liverpool will be at Anfield this weekend against the 2nd placed side Tottenham Hotspur that have managed to maintain a very impressive run, Tottenham won 1:0 against Middleborough over the weekend, the only goal of the game came in second from Kane who will be looking to damage the unstable Liverpool defense and further cause this Liverpool side problems despite them playing at home, Liverpool has been making news lately but negative news following their poor display from the beginning of the second leg of the premier league, it all started way back with a 2:2 draw against Sunderland on the 2nd of Jan 2017, they drew with Plymouth next, lost to Southampton after in the league cup, then drew with Manchester united before they won 1:0 at Plymouth in the return leg, then Swansea visited them at Anfield and won 3:2, they again lost to Southampton in the league cup and Wolves in the FA cup, then Chelsea was next in queue and they managed a 1:1 all draw and the latest was a loss and KCOM stadium home of Hull city where Liverpool lost 2:0, they now host Tottenham who are on form and any one basing on such recent form would think it’s going to be an easy win to Spurs but am going to defer, Liverpool have a name to protect and they will playing in front of their funs but also keep in mind that they have not lost to any big team this season, it might be easy and clear that both teams are likely to share the points but I want to think that Spurs winning form also could be brought to an end this weekend, it’s a very hard call to make but I will go for a home win, Liverpool 2:0 Tottenham Hotspur.


Stoke City Vs Crystal Palace

Stoke city lost to west bromwich last weekend but they were away at Hawthorns stadium, they play at home this weekend against 2nd last hostile Crystal Palace that have so far got only 19 points out of the 24 games played so far, Crystal Palace conceded 4 goals against Sunderland last weekend at Selhurst Park and Sam Allardyce must do his homework well this time at least to get a point out of this, he is not known of conceding many goals but I think Sunderland got them on the wrong side and they had to pay the price, Crystal Palace now travels to Stoke city who are in 11th position with 10 points above them which makes them more favorites of this fixture but I want to back Crystal Palace to get at least a point out of this otherwise the likes of Benteke and Flamini will have betrayed their own, Stoke City 1:1 Crystal Palace


Sunderland Vs Southampton

Sunderland was on fire last weekend with 4 goals away past the Crystal Palace defense and all of them coming in the first half, Kone and Ndong sscored once each in the 9th and 43rd minute and Defoe scored twice as well before half time but despite this performance Sunderland is still last on the table with 19 points but just with a gap of 3 points from the person in the 15th position and 20th position and that shows you how the relegation battle is tight than even it is for the top teams fighting for the title, it will be a very hard game but I want to back Sunderland to build on the confidence they got from their last game to beat Southampton, Sunderland 2:1 Southampton


West Ham United Vs West Bromwich

West ham are in 9th position with 31 points just 5 points behind West Bromwich who are in 8th Position with 36 points and it looks like they just have to maintain their position, it will be hard for them to achieve better positions than this but they can at least try and fight dropping down, they play West Bromwich who are very organized and have very tricky players like Chadli and Foster in the goals posts sometimes can be a very hard opponent but West ham managed a 3:1 win away against Southampton last week a result I think was hard for anyone to think of, they are at home this time they should even do better but West Bromwich will definitely stage off an interesting show, I will go for a draw in this, West Ham United 2:2 West Bromwich


Burnley vs Chelsea

Chelsea will be traveling to Burley on Sunday afternoon hoping to build on their superb performance against Arsenal last week, the blues are 9 points clear on the tables and they have a chance of even increasing the gap given the fact that Spurs will be playing Liverpool over the weekend and they could lose points, Chelsea won Burnley 3:0 in their first leg encounter but this Burnely side has improved a lot ever since but still Chelsea looks unstoppable at this time, the likes of Eden Hazard and victor Moses have been so good in the attacking midfield with Luis and Alonso displaying one of the finest defense partnership in the back, it will be hard for Burnley to stop Chelsea from getting another three points but I appreciate Burnley goal keeper and the entire team when it comes to defending, if Chelsea is unlucky Burnley could get a miracle point but I will go for a Chelsea win, Burnley 2:1 Chelsea


Swansea City Vs Leicester City

Swansea City will be at home this weekend against Leicester City who are in 16th position and Swansea in 17th position but both teams tied at 21 points each, a win of either of the two will be very crucial as both team fight relegation, both teams lost their games last weekend, Swansea lost in a very unlucky way at Manchester city when they conceded a late goal and Manchester united thrashed Leicester City 3:0 at king power stadium, it’s a game both teams will give a 100% energy and I think they will share points in this fixture, I will go for draw on this, Swansea City 1:1 Leicester City
