Check out our predictions for Matchweek 18 below…
Manchester City v Crystal Palace
The Eagles have been something of a bogey team for Pep Guardiola’s side in recent times – at least relative to the other bottom-half teams.
However, Roy Hodgson’s side aren’t particularly well equipped for a trip to the Etihad right now having lost four of their last five games.
Granted, they gave Liverpool a decent contest last time out but with several key players injured and recent defeats to Everton, Luton and Bournemouth fresh in the mind, a comfortable home win seems likely on Saturday.
At this stage, Erling Haaland isn’t expected to feature at the weekend but the treble winners still have plenty of firepower at their disposal.
Only Sheffield United have scored fewer league goals than Palace this season so we’re backing an overdue City clean sheet.
Our Prediction: 2-0 to Man City
Burnley v Everton
Roll up, roll up, it’s the Sean Dyche derby!
The Clarets have mustered just eight points from 16 games since they returned to the top flight, although half of those have come in their last three outings in fairness.
The Toffees are only two places above Burnley in the table but that’s because of their ten-point deduction, without punishment they would be in the top half.
Everton have beaten Nottingham Forest, Newcastle and Chelsea this month without conceding a single goal.
Dyche’s side also boast the fifth-best away record in the league this term.
Our Prediction: 2-0 to Everton
Arsenal v Brighton
Roberto De Zerbi’s enterprising outfit have scored the same number of league goals as the Gunners, Newcastle and Tottenham in 2023/24 but they’ve also conceded more goals than Fulham, Wolves, Palace and Forest.
The Seagulls are yet to keep a Premier League clean sheet this season but they’ve also scored in every game they’ve played – we’re looking at both teams to score as a foundation for this prediction.
Arsenal came unstuck at Villa Park last weekend, but doesn’t every team?
Prior to that, Mikel Arteta’s side had won four league games in a row.
Brighton have a modest record on the road this season having taken ten points from seven away days – with 16 goals conceded.
Our Prediction: 3-1 to Arsenal
West Ham v Wolves
The Hammers completed a classic smash-and-grab against Tottenham a week ago but the celebrations were cut brutally short when they lost 5-0 to Fulham on Sunday.
With progression to the Europa League knockouts already assured, David Moyes may opt to give several key players a much-needed rest against Freiburg this evening ahead of Wolves’ visit to East London.
Jarrod Bowen, Mohammed Kudus and Lucas Paqueta make up the mainstays of a threatening attack but West Ham have actually conceded more league goals than they’ve scored this season.
Pedro Neto’s absence hinders the dynamism of Gary O’Neil’s attack but Matheus Cunha and Hwang Hee-chan are not to be underestimated.
That being said, Wolves’ recent results (1-0 win over Burnley, 1-1 draw with Forest) have been very: last on Match of the Day.
Our Prediction: 1-1 draw
Liverpool v Manchester United
The big one.
In November, there was a sense that the Red Devils’ results flattered them as even their most partisan supporters acknowledged flaws in the performances.
This month, things have evened out with three losses from four games in all competitions, including a humbling 3-0 defeat to Bournemouth at Old Trafford.
Fans will be fearing a thorough thrashing at Anfield on Sunday amid injury absentees – Bruno Fernandes is also suspended for the big clash.
Jurgen Klopp’s men haven’t been at their fluent best of late, nonetheless, they’ve risen to the top of the table by virtue of their 100% home record.
Liverpool have won all seven league games at Anfield this campaign, scoring 21 goals and conceding five.
Our Prediction: 3-0 Liverpool win
