Premier League Predictions

Raul Jimenez bagged a brace for Fulham last weekend against Sunderland and may be worth sticking with to get on the scoresheet again. He is the Cottagers designated penalty taker and has three in his last four matches.

Arsenal’s Viktor Gyökeres has hit some form after his double against Tottenham – meaning he has now scored seven goals in total across his last 10 games. He scored in the EFL Cup win at Chelsea and will be on spot kick duties on Sunday, so he appeals for an anytime effort.

Corentin Tolisso has scored in back-to-back games for Les Gones and could be needed to provide more of a goal threat if top scorer Pavel Sulc doesn’t make it back from injury.

Christoph Baumgartner scored a brace against Dortmund last week to take his Bundesliga goals tally into double figures. He looks like the most likely scorer for the visitors against a Hamburg defence that has shipped at least two goals in three of their last five home games.

Donyell Malen has rediscovered his best form in Italy with five goals in his last six appearances.

James Tavernier has scored six goals in his last seven appearances for Rangers and contributed an assist last weekend, while he has seven goals and seven assists against Celtic.

All five of Casemiro’s Premier League goals this season have come from set pieces – a weakness of Crystal Palace, who have conceded 13 in total and five from their last 13 goals allowed.

Brighton have struggled to make an impact going forward of late, with seven of their last eight going under 2.5 goals and each of their last six featuring fewer than three goals. Nottingham Forest are the second-worst goalscorers in the Premier League, and under 2.5 goals has landed in five of their last six league assignments.

Arsenal beat Chelsea in both legs of their EFL Cup semi-final and can continue their dominance over the Blues on Sunday. The Gunners have won seven of the last 10 meetings between these sides, with no defeats, and have won 10 of their 13 home Premier League games.

Eight of Fulham’s last ten matches in all competitions have seen both teams find the net and over 2.5 goals both land. A repeat of that looks likely given the fact that the hosts have not kept a clean sheet in their last 11 games and Spurs leaked four against Arsenal last time out.

Manchester United have won their last three home games and five of their six since Michael Carrick took over. They should have enough quality to overcome a Palace side that are drifting under Oliver Glasner. But the Eagles have scored in 13 of their last 14 away games so back both teams to score too.

Sunderland have been poor travellers this season and Leeds need the points more than the Black Cats so I think it will be a home win for the Whites at Elland Road on Tuesday. Sunderland have won just twice away from home all season and while Leeds’ home form has been mixed, they can pick up an important three points as they look to move further away from trouble.

This will be a game the Hammers will have targeted in their bid to get out of the bottom three. A late Raul Jimenez goal was the difference between the sides in the reverse fixture in December, when West Ham were arguably in their worst form. They look a different team now and with Fulham not keeping a clean sheet since that win at the London Stadium, Nuno will believe that his refreshed squad can take advantage.

Chelsea look a decent price away at Aston Villa, who have been struggling recently. The goals have dried up for Unai Emery’s men recently and the same can’t be said for the Blues under Liam Rosenior. Chelsea have also been better away from home under their new boss than at Stamford Bridge.
