Manchester City vs Liverpool


It will be a tight football weekend as Liverpool travel to Manchester City on Sunday evening, Manchester City is still troubled after failing to advance to the next step in champions league despite their 5 goals scored in the first leg against French side Monaco, City won Monaco 5:3 at home in the first leg in England but they couldn’t defend their lead in France on Wednesday night when they lost 3:1 and they were Eliminated on the away goals rule, they host Liverpool who struggled very hard to beat Burnley last week end but shined against Arsenal before their Burnley game, Liverpool is yet to lose against a big side this season and it could Manchester City that brings them down this weekend but it will be hard for City beat Liverpool if the likes Lovren in defense and Firminho in the attacking are back in the starting line up, the duo missed Liverpool’s last fixture against Burnley but I guess they could be available to face Manchester City, Liverpool had a superb show in their last two top team performances which was against Arsenal and Spurs and I see Manchester City falling Victim too if Liverpool Midfield is fully present, You can be sure Manchester City will not fail to score against Liverpool again having failed to score against the reds in the first leg that Liverpool won by just a goal, but this gives Liverpool’s attacking force a more challenging job because they will have to score more than once to win the this at Etihad Stadium but am trusting Sadio Mane to come out again and give the reds a hard earned away win, Manchester City 2:3 Liverpool

West Bromwich Albion Vs Arsenal


This Weekend’s early kick off will see Arsenal travel to Hawthorns stadium to face West Bromwich Albion on Saturday afternoon a game I think is likely to be very easy one for the gunners, Arsenal have been making rounds in many media houses worldwide about their champions league poor performance and being beaten by Liverpool also caused them more damage but they managed a 5:0 win against Lincoln City and no matter how small Lincoln City is, Arsenal needed such a result to uplift their belief again, they play away tomorrow against West Bromwich who has been equally on a bad form losing their last two games to Everton and Crystal palace, they host a side that is badly looking for a win and Wenger will do all it takes to get three points from tomorrow’s game and I don’t see West Bromwich threatening at all, it will be an easy win for Arsenal for me, West Bromwich Albion 0:3 Arsenal

Stoke City Vs Chelsea


Chelsea will be visitors at Bet365 Stadium home of Stoke City as they continue their fight to seal their premier trophy this season, Chelsea played Manchester United on Monday in their FA quarter finals fixture and they managed to win 1:0 but I think they played very badly, Chelsea had all their key players but a 1:0 score is not convincing at all against United’s 10 men after Ander Herrera’s 35’ minute second yellow card that saw him leave the pitch before half time, This Stoke side have managed to get one win and two draws against Chelsea in their last seven meetings, it’s a game Chelsea would want to win to make sure they keep their good lead at the table but if they play the same way they played United, Stoke city could make a dent on this Chelsea side with Joe Allen in that Stoke attacking midfield, am backing Stoke to a get a point out of this but it won’t be an easy one, Stoke City 2:2 Chelsea

Middleborough Vs Manchester United


Manchester United will be the visitors this Sunday at Riverside stadium hoping to build on the Europa league quarter finals qualification after winning 1:0 against Russian side Rostov at Old Trafford on Thursday night, they now face Middleborough but will be without Pogba following his 48th minute forced exist in their last Europa game and Blind is also a doubt after his forced substitution in the same game, Middleborough on the other hand have also struggled to get a win lately and they risk being relegated if they continue with their bad form, United have had many fixtures piling up and I think it’s going to cost them one of these days and I guess it could be this weekend, any big side facing the teams fighting relegation is likely to find it hard and I think Untied is likely to drop points this weekend following the many fixtures they have had in the shortest time possible, the Middleborough game will be the 3rd game in just 7 days and in one way or another it’s hard to win all the games but also keeping in mind that United has already lost one of the three fixtures which was against Chelsea, won one against Rostov and I think their next fixture is most likely to be a draw, Middleborough 1:1 Manchester United

Tottenham Hotspur Vs Southampton


Tottenham will be at home this weekend hosting Southampton with hopes to maintain their 2nd position and hopefully reduce on the gap between them and table leaders Chelsea, Tottenham is on a very big good run of form with 13 goals scored in their last three games and conceded only two goals, they now host Southampton who are not convincing of late but have been a very hard side to beat this season, you can be sure many goals are likely to flow in this game but am reserved a little to give Spurs a win bearing in mind that their main front man Harry Kane is sidelined and most likely not to feature in this fixture, am confortable giving a point to each of these two but Southampton will have to work hard for it, Totten ham Hotspur 3:3 Southampton
