Manchester City vs Newcastle

Rationale:

Manchester City’s defensive frailties have been a recurring issue, and with Newcastle’s ability to exploit such weaknesses, a high-scoring encounter seems likely. While Pep Guardiola’s side are always a threat going forward, thanks to the presence of Erling Haaland and Phil Foden, their vulnerability at the back continues to be a problem.

Newcastle’s form away from home has been impressive, and their attacking options provide enough firepower to trouble City’s shaky backline. Alexander Isak’s movement and finishing ability could be a key factor in unlocking the hosts’ defence. A 2-2 draw would accurately reflect City’s attacking dominance being counterbalanced by their defensive struggles and Newcastle’s resilience on their travels.

Best bet – 2-2 draw

Aston Villa vs Ipswich

Rationale:

Villa Park has been a fortress this season, and Unai Emery’s side have been ruthless in front of goal, particularly against teams with defensive shortcomings. Ipswich’s backline has looked fragile at times, and this could prove costly against a Villa side who have been clinical at home.

Although Ipswich may manage to score through a counter-attack or a moment of quality from Liam Delap, the gulf in class should see Villa dominate. With their attacking play in full flow, the hosts are expected to create plenty of chances and capitalise on defensive lapses. A comfortable 4-1 victory for Villa appears to be on the cards.

Best bet – Aston Villa 4-1

Fulham vs Nottingham Forest

Rationale:

Nottingham Forest have shown their ability to win tough away fixtures, having already claimed victories at Anfield and Old Trafford this season. Their attacking talent should allow them to cause problems for a Fulham defence that has been anything but solid.

While Marco Silva’s side are likely to get on the scoresheet, their inconsistency at the back could prove decisive. Forest have been effective in breaking down teams that leave spaces, and this could be a key factor in securing an away win. A closely fought match is expected, but Forest may just have the cutting edge to secure a 2-1 victory.

Best bet – Nottingham Forest 2-1

Crystal Palace vs Everton

Rationale:

Both Crystal Palace and Everton have been involved in numerous stalemates this season, making another draw a strong possibility. Palace have seen three of their last six home fixtures end level, while Everton have shared the points in half of their recent away matches.

Despite missing some key figures, both sides still possess enough quality in attack to find the net. However, with neither team likely to take too many risks, a low-scoring draw seems the most probable outcome. A 1-1 result would be in keeping with both clubs’ recent form.

Best bet – 1-1 draw

Liverpool vs Wolverhampton

Rationale:

Liverpool’s record at Anfield has been formidable, and their recent home performances suggest another commanding display is likely. They have scored at least three goals in three of their last four competitive home matches, and with Wolverhampton struggling defensively, a similar outcome appears probable.

Jurgen Klopp’s side have kept a clean sheet in 42% of their league outings this season, boasting one of the division’s best home defensive records. Meanwhile, Wolves have conceded three goals in three of their last five league fixtures, including two 3-0 defeats.

Mohamed Salah remains a pivotal figure in Liverpool’s attack, leading the way in goal contributions across Europe’s top leagues. His ability to create and convert chances could be the difference-maker in what should be a comfortable 3-0 victory for the Reds.

Best bet – Liverpool 3-0

Tottenham Hotspur vs Manchester United

Rationale:

Despite an inconsistent season, Tottenham have been one of the league’s highest-scoring sides outside the top four. Their attacking prowess is evident, but defensive lapses have led to them averaging one of the highest goals-per-game ratios in the division.

With over 70% of their league games producing three or more goals, and seven of their last eight matches in all competitions also exceeding this mark, another high-scoring affair seems likely. Previous encounters with Manchester United have often followed a similar pattern, with two of their last five meetings ending in 2-2 draws.

United’s recent form suggests they will be capable of breaching Tottenham’s defence, having scored exactly two goals in three of their last five fixtures. Spurs, on the other hand, have been averaging 1.71 goals scored per game while conceding 1.86 over their last seven matches. All signs point to another entertaining contest, with a 2-2 draw being a strong possibility.

Best bet – 2-2 draw
