There seems to be no end to Premier League action, and we are in for yet another action-packed week! Get yourself ready with our match previews!
The pressure has taken a toll on Arsenal, as they ‘bottled’ their spot at the summit and the 4-1 defeat to City marked their 4th consecutive EPL game without a win. The Gunners have alarmingly conceded a total of 13 goals in their last 6 PL games, however, to their advantage, they`ve lost just 1 home game in the topflight this season, giving them an opportunity to find their footing.
The Blues have disappointed their fans in 8 consecutive, winless games in all competitions. Chelsea suffered an unexpected 2-0 blow against Brentford over the weekend, recording their 6th PL game without a win. Their away form does them no favors as they`ve won just 1 of their last 10 games on the road. Arsenal won the reverse fixture this season by a 1-0 scoreline, however, considering these sides` leaking backlines, we expect both teams to score and Arsenal to win.
The Citizens are unstoppable in their current form coming off a 2-1 win over Fulham and 18 games without a loss in all competitions. The Eithad remained unshaken last time out, as the hosts toyed with Arsenal in a 4-1 victory. Considering that the Citizens have also won the reverse fixture, we don’t see West Ham giving them problems this time.
The Hammers are coming off a close 4-3 defeat to Crystal Palace, as they failed to increase the drop-zone safety net. Unfortunately for West Ham, their fortunes are unlikely to turn around as they have failed to beat Man City at the Etihad in the last 8 visits. This time we will look at goalscorer markets, and considering Erling Haaland has already scored 2 past the Hammers this season, we expect Haaland to score anytime and Manchester City to win.
Brighton will be looking to get revenge for their FA Cup exit against United. The Seagulls took a 3-1 knock against Forest, however, bounced back with a monumental 6-0 win against Wolverhampton in the Premier League. In front of the home fans. Their recent home run has been fairly good, avoiding a loss in 4 consecutive games and scoring a total of 14 in those 4. For this reason, we expect it to be a tough day for the Devils.
Manchester United secured a narrow 1-0 victory against Villa over the weekend, ending the Villans` 10-game unbeaten run. Unfortunately, the Red Devils have been shaky on the road in 2023, having won just 2 of their 7 EPL games, and their last trip to the Amex stadium in the EPL ended in a 4-0 thrashing. Although we don’t see the same happening this time out, we do expect both teams to score and over 2.5 goals in the game.
