Tottenham Hotspur VS Watford

Tottenham managed to get three points on Wednesday night against Swansea at Liberty Stadium with three dramatic goals scored in the last 2 minutes and 4 added minutes, Swansea had scored first through Routledge in just 11 minutes into the game and Spur had to wait until 88th minute to get their equalizer through Deli Alli and Son scored 2 minutes after before Eriksen sealed the game for spurs in just the stoppage time to make it 3:1 for the visitors, they will be at home this weekend against Watford who managed to comfortably win Westbromwich with a 2:0 score line but I think Spurs is chasing Chelsea at the moment and I don’t see them give in at such a point, I will go for a home win with many goals, Tottenham Hotspur 4:1 Watford




Manchester City Vs Hull City

Manchester City has not won any game in their last four fixtures, they lost to Monaco in champions league, drew with Liverpool and Arsenal consecutively and then lost to Chelsea mid-week, playing Hull city over the weekend is an opportunity for them to return back on truck, they are two points behind Liverpool but with a game in hand and they will do anything not increase the gap between them and the 3rd placed Liverpool side, my worry for them is that Hull City is one of the highly self-motivated team in the league now, they have scored six goals in their last two games and secured 6 points from those two games but I doubt they will get even a point out this, Manchester City is fighting for a top four position and this is a must win for them if they are to get into top four, I will go for a home win in this but Manchester City must be careful, Manchester City 3:1 Hull City



Stoke City Vs Liverpool

Liverpool’s struggle to secure wins without Sadio Mane seems to be continuous for Jugen Klop having failed to protected their lead against Bournemouth mid-week, Liverpool conceded the equalizer in 87th minute from Joshua King after poor defending from Liverpool’s Ragnar Klavan and the reds had to settle for 2:2 all draw, they visit Stoke City at Bet365 Stadium who are more stubborn with the likes of Joe Allen in the midfield and then Crouch, Bony and Diouf all up front, I see a very hard game for this Liverpool side who are not good in defense and will be without their key attacking men- Mane and Lallana, Henderson is still a doubt but Daneil Stiridge could be returning to partner with Origi up front in search for goals, the firt leg between these two saw Liverpool score 4 goals but think it will be a little hard this time but I still think Liverpool are the favorites though it will be a very hard earned win if they manage to get three points, Stoke City 2:3 Liverpool



AFC Bournemouth Vs Chelsea

AFC Bournemouth got a much better result in their last fixture against Liverpool with a late equalizer that earned them a point but I think Chelsea is a class ahead and with just 8 games left for this Chelsea side to win the trophy, I don’t see Bournemouth doing much, Chelsea won the first leg 3:0 and I see them scoring even more goals in this game for them to protect their trophy hunt, any mistake in this Chelsea game could cause them issues with the fact that their next fixture will be against Manchester United, Bournemouth can be disturbing sometimes but I don’t see the blues falling victim at this stage, I will go for an easy away win, AFC Bournemouth 0:4 Chelsea



Sunderland V Manchester United

Manchester United plays on Sunday afternoon against their former Manager David Moyes and his Sunderland side that is struggling and looking for a miracle to survive relegation with 10 points deficit behind the 4th last team on the table, but that a side, Sunderland and the History behind their Manager with Manchester United is likely to play a big part in this game, United escaped losing their previous game at old Trafford against Everton with a late Penalty that saw them settle for a 1:1 draw and this result meant they had to be sent back to 6th position, it’s tricky that after this fixture Manu will be playing Chelsea a game that will not be easy at all and that makes this fixture a priority, Sunderland will fight hard as they have been doing but I don’t think they will last for 90 minutes without conceding, I want to back Manu to win this but scared of what Moyes and the likes of Defoe have prepared, it could turn out frustrating for Manu again, am giving them a point each but with many goals, Sunderland 2:2 Manchester United




Everton Vs Leicester City

It will another interesting fixture of the weekend, Everton Hosts Leicester City that is yet to loose ever since the sacking of their Manager Claudio Ranieri, Leicester City has been very good with 5 wins in a row including champions league 2:0 win against Spanish side Sevilla, 3:1 against Hull city, 3:2 win against West ham 2:0 wins against Stoke and Sunderland, they visit Everton on Sunday who are equally enterprising with the likes of Lukaku leading the top scorers with 21 goals so far, both teams are most likely to score but I think Leicester City has won a lot and it could be this weekend that we see their run brought to an end, I will go for a home win but it will be a hard one, Everton 3:1 Leicester City



Middlesbrough Vs Burnley

Middlesbrough lost 4:2 to Hull City mid-week and missed out on leaving the relegation zone but they have an opportunity tomorrow, they will be playing at home against Burnley and any team that want to survive being sent back to championship must win such games, Burnley won their mid-week fixture against stoke but I see them struggling at Riverside Stadium, Burnley won the first leg of this fixture by just 1:0 but I don’t see Middlesbrough losing this one, it’s possible for Middlesbrough to win this but I will go for a draw bearing in mind how organized the Burnley defense is, Middlesbrough 1:1 Burnley




West Ham United Vs Swansea City

West ham has lost all their last five games the latest being 3:0 loss against Arsenal on Wednesday, they host Swansea City who are playing well these days but were unlucky to concede three goals in the last 7 minutes of their game against Spurs in Mid-week, they are away tomorrow playing a much poorer side but are likely to use that home advantage to restore their chances of remaining in the league, Swansea is good but West Ham must change more so now that they are at home, I will go for a draw in this, West Ham United 1:1 Swansea City



West Bromwich Vs Southampton


West Bromwich was on the losing side in mid-week against Watford where they lost 2:0, they are however at home this time against a side that scored three goals in their previous game, Southampton came from behind to win 3:0 against Crystal palace who had scored first through their Belgian international and former Aston villa and Liverpool attacker Christian Benteke, it’s a fair fixture for both side but I think West Bromwich is more clinical and dangerous in front of any ones goal and the fact that they will be at home, I think Southampton will struggle and I see West Bromwich taking this home, West Bromwich 2:1 Southampton
