Watford vs Arsenal
Monday 15 April 2019
FA Premier League, Vicarage Road
Live on Sky Sports Premier League HD – Kick-Off: 20:00 GMT
FA Cup finalists Watford will be hosting Arsenal in the Premier League this Monday night.
The hosts have seven wins from their last ten matches in all competitions and will be much better rested than their opponents. They have had eight days rest whereas Arsenal played four nights ago against Napoli in an impressive 2-0 win.
Watford are priced at 19/10 to win the match by SkyBet. The Hornets still have a lot to play for as they are 10thbut just one point from European qualification in seventh place. They showcased great character in their FA Cup semi-final against Wolves to come back from 2-0 down. Winger Gerard Deulofeu stole the headlines with two goals and has also been impressive in the league with 7 goals and 5 assists. He is 21/10 to score anytime.
Arsenal are priced at a very tempting 6/5 to win however their away form has not been desirable. The visitors pulled out all the stops in their Europa League tie against Napoli on Thursday, with a 2-0 victory. Midfielder Aaron Ramsey scored before Kalidou Koulibaly scored an own goal and Unai Emery’s side cruised to the final whistle. Both the club’s striker Alexandre Lacazette and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang are making the starting eleven and look a real threat as a partnership. The Gabon international is just two goals from the highest scorers in the league with 17 goals. He is 6/5 to score anytime.
The referee for this match will be Craig Pawson. The official has shown his no-nonsense side when officiating in the top flight with an average of 40 booking points per match. Also, the last time these two met, 40 booking points were brandished. SkyBet are offering 4/5 for 40+ booking points.
The match will be televised on Sky Sports Football HD and kicks off at 20:00.

Liverpool vs Chelsea – Match Preview
Liverpool vs Chelsea
Sunday 14th April 2019
FA Premier League, AnfieldLive on Sky Sports Premier League HD – Kick-Off: 16:30 BST
Liverpool vs Chelsea: Liverpool will be hoping to avoid another ‘slip up’ against Chelsea as they bid to boost their hopes of claiming a first ever Premier League title.
The Reds famously ‘slipped up’ against the Blues back in 2013/14, in their last real assault on the Premier League title. This time, the cards are different, with Jurgen Klopp’s side one-point ahead of rivals Manchester City, although they have played a game more. This game has an added dimension, with City kicking off at the earlier time of 2:05pm on Sunday, meaning Liverpool will know exactly what result they need against Maurizio Sarri’s side.
In truth, the Reds need three points, regardless of events at Selhurst Park. Liverpool will once again be defending their proud unbeaten league run at Anfield, bidding to stay top of the league, with only four games remaining. Consecutive wins over Southampton and Porto will have lifted their confidence, ahead of this crucial game. ‘Fortress Anfield’ should play its part – the Reds are the only side not to have lost at home in the Premier League.
Chelsea’s top four hopes are hanging in the balance. The Blues are fourth in the table, three points clear of Arsenal, although the Gunners have a game in hand. With that in mind, they can’t afford any slip-ups. N’Golo Kante, Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Eden Hazard were all rested in their midweek 1-0 win over Slavia Prague in the first leg of their Europa League tie, highlighting where Maurizio Sarri sees his priorities. Chelsea have won all of their last three games, keeping as many clean sheets in the process. With a trip to Old Trafford also on the cards, the Blues do have their future in their own hands.
Michael Oliver is the referee for this fixture. The Englishman has officiated 39 top-flight matches this season. In that time, he has accumulated an average booking points total of 34.4. Therefore, I would advise a maximum of 50+ total points for this fixture.
Hazard’s stunning form will give Klopp’s side cause for concern. The Belgian is a match winner and with Chelsea needing the points, they need him more than ever. Liverpool are in desperate need of a win but I think they could drop points here.
Liverpool vs Chelsea will be televised live in the UK on Sky Sports Premier League with kick off at 16:30 BST.

Crystal Palace vs Manchester City – Match Preview
Crystal Palace vs Manchester City
Sunday 14th April 2019
FA Premier League, Selhurst ParkLive on Sky Sports Premier League HD – Kick-Off: 14:05 BST
Palace vs City: Manchester City will be hoping to return to winning ways and move back to the top of the Premier League with a win over Crystal Palace on Sunday.
City will be hoping to bounce back from their midweek defeat against Tottenham Hotspur in the Champions League. Pep Guardiola opted to leave out Kevin De Bruyne, Leroy Sane and Bernardo Silva from that side in midweek, which raised a few eyebrows. Sergio Aguero’s penalty proved costly, as Son Heung-Min’s winner left them with all to do. City will be wary of taking on Palace after the Eagles beat them 3-2 at the Etihad Stadium back in December. Similarly, Palace almost beat City last season at Selhurst Park, with Ederson denying Luka Milivojevic’s 90th-minute penalty, with the score at 0-0. With that second leg looming on Wednesday night, it will be interesting to see what side Guardiola fields, knowing Liverpool are playing directly after them.
Palace secured their Premier League status last time out, with an important 1-0 win at Newcastle. That result leaves Palace 13th in the table, ten points clear of Cardiff City. The Bluebirds having only four more games to play. They have, however, only won one of their last three home games, drawing one and losing two. With Everton and Bournemouth also set to visit London before the season is out, the Eagles have a great opportunity to finish the season strongly.
Martin Atkinson is the referee for this fixture. The Englishman has officiated 39 top-flight matches this season. In that time, he has accumulated an average booking points total of 33.8. Therefore, I would advise a maximum of 50+ total points for this fixture.
I can’t help but feel there might be a twist in the title race on Sunday. Palace have had joy against City in recent games, which could be a telling sign. I am going to back the champions to nick a slender win, but don’t be shocked to see this one end level.
Crystal Palace vs Manchester City will be televised live in the UK on Sky Sports Premier League with kick off at 14:05 BST.

Wigan vs Norwich City – Match Preview
Wigan vs Norwich City
Sunday 14 April 2019
The Championship, DW StadiumLive on Sky Sports Football HD – Kick-Off: 12:00 GMT
Wigan will host league leaders Norwich City in SkyBet Championship action this Sunday.
The hosts are in the midst of a relegation scrap with multiple other clubs. Meanwhile, Norwich will want to bounce back and get one foot in the Premier League after their dramatic 2-2 draw with Reading.
Wigan are underdogs for this match despite home advantage and are priced at 3/1 to win by SkyBet. The hosts are 21stin the league, just two points from the drop zone. Their recent form has been average however they have failed to win in three matches. Their home form makes for much more prudent reading as they are unbeaten in seven. Three of those matches have been 0-0 draws. They are 14/1 to manage another goalless draw.
Striker Nick Powell has found his form and has scored three goals in his last seven appearances. SkyBet have price boosted him to 8/1 to score first.
Norwich are priced at 17/20 to win the match. Daniel Farke’s side are continuing their rampant run to the Premier League and are six points ahead of Leeds in second place. Their away form has also been impressive as they have won four matches on the road in a row. Striker Teemu Pukki won the league’s player of the season award and is still adding to his incredible goal tally of 26 goals. He is 14/5 to open the scoring.
The referee for this match will be James Linington. The official has not been very lenient this season in England’s second division with an average of 39.2 booking points per match. In the reverse fixture earlier in the season there was 40 booking points brandished.
Wigan vs Norwich will be televised live in the UK on Sky Sports Football HD and kicks off at 12:00.

Manchester United vs West Ham United – Match Preview
Manchester United vs West Ham United
Saturday 13 April 2019
FA Premier League, Old TraffordLive on BT Sport 1 – Kick-Off: 17:30 GMT
Manchester United will host West Ham United this Saturday evening in Premier League action.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s initial honeymoon period has well and truly warn away with four losses in their last five matches. Meanwhile, West Ham are also in bad form with consecutive 2-0 losses in their previous run outs.
Manchester United are favourites for the bout and are priced at 2/5 to win by SkyBet. The hosts are still in the race for the top four however their recent form has them as outsiders as it stands. They have lost to Wolves and Arsenal in recent weeks. Going forward Romelu Lukaku has been a standout performer. The Belgian has scored 12 goals in the league and he is 3/1 to break the deadlock.
Earlier in the season, they lost 3-1 to their opponents. They have not lost a league double to West Ham since 2006/07 season.
West Ham are underdogs and are priced at 13/2 to win. The Hammers have had a solid enough season without being spectacular. However, they enter this match on the back of two losses. Their last win came in dramatic style in a 4-3 win against Huddersfield. Two late goals from Chicharito won them the match and added to his total season tally of seven goals. He is 10/1 to open the scoring this Saturday.
The referee for this match will be Graham Scott. The official has been one of the most lenient in the top flight and has averaged just 25.5 booking points per match. The last time these two met, there was just one booking. SkyBet are offering 11/10 for under 30 booking points.
The match will be televised on BT Sport 1 and kicks off at 17:30.

Tottenham Hotspur vs Huddersfield Town – Match Preview
Tottenham Hotspur vs Huddersfield Town
Saturday 13th April 2019
FA Premier League, Tottenham Hotspur StadiumLive on Sky Sports Premier League HD – Kick-Off: 12:30 GMT
Tottenham Hotspur vs Huddersfield Town: Tottenham will be looking to make it three wins on the spin, to boost their hopes of a top-four finish when they host Huddersfield on Saturday lunch-time.
Spurs’ new stadium has had the desired effect so far, as they claimed wins over Crystal Palace and Manchester City in their new home. The victory over Palace lifted them to fourth in the table, two points behind Chelsea, who have played a game more. With Arsenal and Manchester United also breathing down their necks, they can’t afford to slip up at home to a side already relegated. Mauricio Pochettino’s men will be without Harry Kane, who looks set to miss the rest of the season with an ankle injury after the Argentine boss described the Englishman’s chances of featuring again this campaign as “very difficult”. Without Kane, Heung-Min Son is expected to lead the line, or Spurs could turn to Fernando Llorente. Son scored the all-important winner in their Champions League win over City on Tuesday night.
Huddersfield are just playing for pride after being relegated back to the Championship a few weeks ago. That hasn’t sparked Jan Siewert’s team to life, however. The Terriers have lost their last five games, with their last win coming against Wolves in February. Similarly, their last win on the road was at Molineux, all the way back in November. Last time out, they were beaten 4-1 by Leicester City, meaning they’ve conceded 12 goals in their last four matches.
Lee Mason is the referee for this fixture. The Englishman has officiated 25 top-flight matches this season. In that time, he has accumulated an average booking points total of 35.8. Therefore, I would advise a maximum of 50+ total points for this fixture.
Tottenham have made light work of the ‘lesser’ sides this season, particularly at home. They will miss Kane’s presence in the side, but I would still expect to see them win, by a comfortable margin.
Tottenham Hotspur vs Huddersfield Town will be televised live in the UK on Sky Sports Premier League with kick off at 12:30 PM BST.

Leicester City vs Newcastle United
Friday 12 April 2019
FA Premier League, King Power StadiumLive on Sky Sports Premier League HD – Kick-Off: 20:00 GMT
In form Leicester City host Newcastle United in Premier League action this Friday night.
Brendan Rodgers side have won four wins a row and climbed to seventh in the table. Meanwhile, Newcastle haven’t won any of their previous five away matches, so form tables are heavily in the hosts favour.
Leicester City are favourites for this match and are priced at 8/13 to win the match by SkyBet. The reign of Brendan Rodgers has been a successful one for the Foxes so far. They have won four matches on the bounce scoring eleven goals in those outings. Integral to their attacking threat is striker Jamie Vardy. He is in red hot form with eight goals in his last eight Premier League matches. SkyBet are offering 12/5 for him to open the scoring.
In the reverse fixture earlier in the season, Leicester ran out 2-0 winners with a penalty from Jamie Vardy and a goal from Harry Maguire. They are price boosted to 15/2 to repeat this score line.
Newcastle are priced at 17/4 to win. Rafa Benitez’ side are almost safe from the relegation zone, with five matches left for them. However, their recent form isn’t helping them pull away. They have failed to keep a clean sheet in five matches and are facing an in-form attack. They are 9/1 to win and for both teams to score.
Striker Salomon Rondon is the biggest threat to the home defence. He is 9/4 to score anytime.
The referee for this match will be Chris Kavanagh. The official has been one of the more lenient referees in the top-flight with an average of 34.3 booking points per match. When these two met last season at the King Power, there were 40 booking points. SkyBet are offering 6/4 for 40+ booking points on Friday.
The match will be televised on Sky Sports Premier League HD and kicks off at 20:00.

Arsenal vs Napoli
Thursday 11th April 2019
UEFA Europa League, Emirates StadiumLive on BT Sport 2 – Kick-Off: 20:00 GMT
Arsenal and Napoli will lock horns on Thursday evening in the first leg of their UEFA Europa League tie.
The two are meeting in the quarter final stage of the competition and are both are top contenders to lift the trophy. The hosts advanced through to this round after a comfortable 3-0 victory over Rennes at home. Meanwhile, Napoli got through by the skin of their teeth with a 4-3 aggregate win over Red Bull Salzburg.
Arsenal are priced at 13/10 to win this match by SkyBet. Unai Emery’s side will want to avenge their 1-0 loss to Everton in the Premier League in the weekend just gone. Their last Europa League game saw them win comfortably with striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang grabbing a brace. The Gabon international is priced at 7/5 to score anytime and will be the main threat to the Italian’s defence.
Napoli are priced at very tempting odds of 19/10 to win. The Italian outfit are entering this match in dodgy form. They have won two of their last five matches in all competitions and lost the same amount. They are set for a comfortable second paced finish in Serie A and attacker Dries Mertens has been his usual clinical self. The Belgian has scored eleven goals this term with nine assists. He is 6/1 to open the scoring this Thursday evening.
The last time these two met was in December 2013 where Napoli won 2-0. They are priced at 9/2 to win to nil.
The referee for this match will be Spaniard Alberto Undaino Mallenco. Both of their previous outings saw 45+ booking points and quarter final ties often see plenty of cards brandished. SkyBet are offering ADD for 50+ booking points.

Slavia Prague vs Chelsea
Thursday 11th April 2019
UEFA Europa League, Sinobo StadiumLive on BT Sport 3 – Kick-Off: 20:00 GMT
Chelsea will travel to Czech Republic to face Slavia Prague in the UEFA Europa League quarter final.
This match marks the first leg of their two-legged tie. Chelsea waltzed past Dynamo Kiev in the previous round winning 8-0 on aggregate. Meanwhile the hosts were in the tie of the round and knocked out Sevilla 6-5 over 180 minutes.
Slavia Prague are under dogs for this match despite having home advantage and are priced at 4/1 to win by SkyBet. The hosts enter this match in some great form. They are unbeaten in ten matches across all competitions including three Europa League matches. Amazingly, not one of their players has scored more than twice in this competition. However, Striker Miroslav Stoch has been their top scorer in the Czech Republic Premier division. He is 7/2 to score anytime.
Chelsea are priced at 4/6 to win the match. Maurizio Sarri’s side have been very clinical in this tournament and backed that up in the last round. Striker Olivier Giroud has been in incredible form in this tournament, leading the race for the golden boot with nine goals and two assists. The Frenchman’s target man like style of play will be a huge threat to the Prague defence and he is 7/2 to score first.
In their last outing, Eden Hazard stole the headlines with a show stopping brace against West Ham to assert himself once more as their most talented player. He is 7/5 to score anytime.
The referee for this match will be German Felix Zwayer. In the last round, Slavia Prague were awarded 40 booking points against Sevilla.
Slavia Prague vs Chelsea will be televised on BT Sport 3 and kicks off at 20:00.

Manchester United vs Barcelona – Match Preview
Manchester United vs Barcelona
Wednesday 10th April, Old Trafford
UEFA Champions League, Quarter-Finals
Live on BT Sport 2 – Kick-Off: 20:00 GMTManchester United vs Barcelona: Manchester United will be hoping to cause another huge upset when they host Spanish giants Barcelona in the first leg of their UEFA Champions League quarter-final.
The Red Devils will be looking to return to winning ways after suffering back-to-back defeats under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer for the first time. United were undone by Wolves last time out, as they battled back to win ten men, as Ashley Young saw red. The skipper will still be available for this game, but Solskjaer couldn’t have wished for tough opponents. United are unbeaten in their last four games, with Paris Saint-Germain the only side to win at Old Trafford since the Norwegian took charge. They will also take comfort from their performance against PSG in Paris, which saw them edge through in the most dramatic of circumstances. Against Barcelona, they will have to be patient, as they were on that night, and focus on hitting Pique and co on the counter-attack.
Barcelona head into this contest as huge favourites and are unbeaten in their last 19 league games, which has seen them establish an 11-point lead at the top of La Liga. To make matters worse, Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez have been back to their brilliant best lately. The Argentine magician has 10 goals in his last seven matches, whilst Suarez has notched seven times in his last nine appearances. Throw into the mix Phillipe Coutinho and Ousmane Dembele’s exquisite talents and it seems like a near-impossible task. However, United can take comfort from the fact the Catalan giants failed to beat Tottenham in their last meeting during this season’s group stages, although they were safely through by that stage.
Gianluca Rocchi is the referee for this fixture. The Italian has officiated 12 Serie A matches this season. In that time, he has accumulated an average booking points total of 5.67 cards per game. Therefore, I would advise a maximum of 60+ total booking points for this fixture.
Although United are much improved under Solskjaer, this match may just prove a test too far for them. They are capable of frustrating Barcelona, but I think Messi’s clash may be too much for them to handle.
Manchester United vs Barcelona will be televised live in the UK on BT Sport 2 with kick off at 20:00 GMT.
