Chelsea Vs Tottenham Hotspur (FA SEMIFINALS)

The first FA semifinals tie will be played this Saturday evening between the two teams fighting for the premier league trophy at Wembley Stadium, Chelsea is on top of the league with four points ahead of spurs and both teams have six games to play, Tottenham won 2:0 the last time they played Chelsea and they look to be in good shape again with the winning run they have had of recent, spurs have scored 15 goals in their last 5 games and eight of those came in their last two games against Watford and Bournemouth, Chelsea on the other side have registered two loses in their last five games, they lost to Crystal Palace and Manchester United in just two weeks, they now face the most enterprising league side of Tottenham that have registered four players in the premier league team of the season, the two sides are playing at a neutral ground and Chelsea for sure will find this hard, I see a possible result being a draw here but this Chelsea side could be tired at this stage from the way they have been playing, Spurs will have to analyze Chelsea’s game with Manu to borrow ideas from Mourinho on how to beat Chelsea again and the major trick in the game they lost to Manu was to take Eden Hazard out of the game and Herrera did it 100% well, Chelsea could be losing this one as well, I will go for Tottenham win and Alli to score, Chelsea 1:2 Tottenham Hotspur
Arsenal Vs Manchester City (FA SEMIFINALS)

The Second FA Semifinals tie is scheduled to take place on Sunday evening between Arsenal and Manchester City, Both teams have no hopes of taking the league title this season and the only hope of lifting a trophy this season is advancing to the finals of this FA, Arsenal Managed to get a 2:2 draw the last time they played City but that was expected then, the pressure on Wenger was too much and everyone gave it their all, this game is however different and the way i saw Arsenal struggle to win against Middleborough on Monday, it will be hard for them to contain this Manchester City attacking force of Sane and Aguero, but Arsenal on a good day with Sanchez on form they can win any game, my only worry is their defense, Wenger decided to use three defenders against Middliesbrough, Gabriel, Koscielny and Holding but I don’t think he can try this at Wembley on Sunday, its going to be a very tight game but I think Arsenal can get a draw out of this again, my worry is if they will be able to score as many goals as Manchester city can score, City’s defense is equally shaky but I think they will out score Arsenal, Arsenal 2:3 Manchester City
PREMIER LEAGUE
Liverpool Vs Crystal Palace

Liverpool will be at home this Sunday after playing their last two fixtures away but were lucky to collect maximum points in those games, they host Crystal Palace who have been on a good run of recent with wins from Chelsea and Arsenal, am not sure if the former Liverpool man Sakho who is on loan at crystal palace will be allowed to play but even if he doesn’t, the likes of Zaha and Benteke ahead could cause this Liverpool side problems, Lallana started training on the Liverpool side but also not sure whether he will be ready to play over the weekend, Crystal Palace is not yet secure from relegation but Liverpool also is playing for the champions league position, it will be a very hard game but with Firminho and Coutinho on form as they are, Liverpool is likely to win this but the hard way, Liverpool 4:1 Crystal Palace
Burnley Vs Manchester United

Manchester United have another tough fixture ahead of them this weekend after qualifying for the Europa league semifinals on Thursday night, United scored first at home against the Belgian side Anderlecht but the visitors managed to get an equalizer before half time and the game was stretched a 1:1 draw in 90 minutes and United scored in extra time, thanks to the young star Rashford, United now must fight again and get a result against Burnley if they are to keep their top four position hopes alive, they played many minutes in Europa and Ibrahimovic could be away the entire reaming games this season, this is tricky for United but they have enough good players to take this up to the last game, Burnley is still not sure of their position in the premier next season with just eight points ahead of the relegation zone, they will stage the hardest battle against this united side but I think United still has an upper hand in this, I will go for an away win, Burnley 0:2 Manchester United
AFC Bournemouth Vs Middleborough

The struggle is on again this weekend as the two teams in the bottom five battle it out to try and secure a place the premier league next season, Bournemouth will be hosting Middlesbrough who were good on Monday against Arsenal but were unlucky not to even get a point, Middlesbrough is away this weekend but am sure they are not about to rest until their last game of the season, they are second last on table and they need six points to exist the relegation zone, on the other side Bournemouth is just two positions ahead of the relegation zone and anything can happen with five games remaining, it will be a very important game for both sides but from how Middleborough played against Arsenal, am giving them an away win but it won’t be an easy one, Bournemouth 1:2 Middleborough
Hull City Vs Watford

Another entertaining game over the weekend as we head towards the end of the season will be played at KCOM Stadium as Hull City fights to maintain their position above the premier league relegation zone, the Hosts are in 17th position 2 points ahead of Swansea, they lost away to Stoke over the weekend a game I think they should have at least got a point, Watford won their game against Swansea last weekend but I don’t think they stand a chance in this one, if Hull City cannot win such a game then featuring in the English top league next season could be hard, am going for a home win, Hull City 2:0 Watford
Swansea City Vs Stoke City

The Hosts of this game are in the last three teams on the table at the moment and if the league was to end like today, Swansea would not be in position to play in the premier league next season, they have a chance to turn tables around this weekend against a team that is not that threatening, Stoke City for me is a fair challenge, Swansea City lost to Watford last weekend but I don’t think they are losing again, they want to play in this competition next season and they have a home advantage this weekend, they have to stand up and fight for it, am giving the home side a win but Stoke has never allowed to go down easily, Swansea City 3:1 Stoke City
West Ham United Vs Everton

West Ham will be playing at home over the weekend against Everton who are on form these days and have been playing well of recent, Everton managed a 3:1 win against Burnley last weekend and they are now level on points with Arsenal at 57 points but Arsenal with two games in hand, Everton now sees the possibility of taking the 6th Position from Arsenal and I see them winning this fixture as well, they have scored seven goals in their last two games and the likes of Lukaku are now looking at the Golden boot which I very much possible think is possible for him, West Ham United 1:3 Everton
