Leeds vs Chelsea
Betting tip: Chelsea to win
Chelsea remain undefeated under Thomas Tuchel a full 11 games into the German’s tenure, and with momentum and confidence to burn, the Blues should prove too strong for Leeds.
The Yorkshireman have lost four of their last five league assignments, and their gung-ho approach could see them picked off by a more robust and savvier Chelsea outfit.
Crystal Palace vs West Bromwich Albion
Betting tip: Draw
Crystal Palace have won just one of their last six league fixtures and the Eagles, who were unable to find the net in their last three tests at Selhurst Park, lack the cutting edge to push for victory against a stubborn West Brom team.
The Baggies shared the spoils with their opponents in three of their last five league matches, and they can carve out another point on Saturday against their toothless hosts.
Everton vs Burnley
Betting tip: Everton to win
Everton had won three league games on the spin before they came up short at in-form Chelsea on Monday evening, and the Toffees are favoured to rediscover their touch against Burnley.
The Clarets meanwhile, were beaten in four of their last six games on the road and Sean Dyche’s charges were conquered on each of their last two visits to play Everton at Goodison Park.
Southampton vs Brighton
Betting tip: Both teams to score
Southampton have traded goals with their visitors in three of their last four league assignments at St. Mary’s Stadium and action at both ends looks on the cards again when the Saints lock horns with Brighton.
Both teams have registered in each of the last two meetings between Southampton and the Seagulls, while Albion managed to find the net in three of their last four Premier League contests on the road.
Leicester City vs Sheffield United
Betting tip: Leicester City to win
High-flying Leicester City are still firmly in the hunt for second place and the Foxes can strengthen their case to be the season’s next best team after Man City with a victory at home to Sheffield United.
The Blades are still cut adrift at the foot of the table and having lost 11 of their 13 games on their travels this term, another day of disappointment away from Bramall Lane looks likely on Sunday.
Arsenal vs Tottenham Hotspur
Betting tip: Both teams to score
Tottenham cross the capital to take on local rivals Arsenal in what should prove a fascinating North London derby on Sunday, and recent head-to-heads suggest we should expect action at either end.
Both teams have got in on the act in three of the last four tussles between these feuding neighbours, and the same market appeals for their latest skirmish.
