Brentford have scored 46 league goals this season and consistently find a way through at home, particularly when utilizing the aerial presence of Igor Thiago, who has 19 goals. Everton’s away resilience—averaging 1.59 xG—means they are unlikely to leave without causing damage, but the Bees’ superior attacking platforms should tell.

Liverpool dominate territory at Anfield, averaging 15.7 shots per game and 61.88 dangerous attacks. Fulham’s weakness in defending wide areas plays directly into Liverpool’s strengths with Frimpong and Kerkez. A 2-1 scoreline reflects a game where Liverpool’s technical superiority eventually breaks Fulham’s resolve.

Sunderland are a much more trustworthy side in this spot following their Tyne-Wear derby win. While their home form was recently hampered by an injury crisis, the return of star defender Daniel Ballard and goalkeeper Robin Roefs provides the stability needed to see off De Zerbi’s Seagulls.

Unai Emery’s side have won just one of their last six top-flight away games. While Ollie Watkins is in fine form following his European brace, Forest’s need for points at home should result in a hard-fought draw that suits both sides’ survival and top-five ambitions.

Newcastle claimed a 2-0 win in January’s reverse fixture, and history is tipped to repeat. Malick Thiaw has proven to be a regular goal threat from set pieces since joining from Milan, and he could prove to be the hero again at Selhurst Park in a game Newcastle desperate need to win.

Pressure is building on manager Liam Rosenior after four defeats from five. Manchester City, in contrast, enter this game following a 4-0 hammer blow to Liverpool. Erling Haaland has 30 goals for the season and is primed to exploit a Chelsea defense that has seen over 2.5 goals in seven of their last eight.
