Yesterday we saw a very muted first installment of match week 27’s game-card. Only one game produced 3 goals (Brighton vs Leicester). Burnley drew 1-1 with Arsenal. Make of that what you will.
Today, West Brom host Newcastle United. This is my ‘not one for the purists’ pick, as we are unlikely to be treated to a great advert for the sport. With both sides producing just one win each in their last 5 outings this could feel a lot longer than 90-minutes. Home win.
Liverpool versus Fulham will be interesting, Fulham are aching to break free of the relegation zone and Liverpool are doing what Klopp has done at both Mainz and Dortmund, dazzled and then spiralled into oblivion. I’d love to say a draw here, but surely that can’t happen, can it? Draw.
Manchester City versus Manchester United is likely to be unwatchable with the Sky commentary sound on – and as is frequently the case with big derbies – the chances if the match itself under-delivering on thrills are high. Home win.
Tottenham will beat Palace. Home win.
A fiver in most places could win you £79.47 or lose you a fiver.
