Huddersfield Town vs Manchester City
Sunday 20th January 2019
FA Premier League, John Smith’s Stadium
Live on Sky Sports Premier League – Kick-Off: 13:30 GMT
Huddersfield will entertain champions Manchester City in Premier League action this Sunday.
The hosts are currently bottom of the Premier League with David Wagner leaving his position as manager earlier in the week. Meanwhile, Manchester City continue their hot pursuit of Liverpool who are currently top of the league.
Huddersfield are priced at a massive 20/1 to win by SkyBet. The Terriers enter this match in dire form. They have lost 9 of their last 10 and drew their last outing. Whilst a win is very unlikely, SkyBet are offering 7/1 for a draw if they can keep the City attack at bay. Going forward, Huddersfield have been poor. They have scored 13 goals all season across their 22 matches. Striker Steve Mounie has had a disappointing season with just one goal and three assists. He has been priced boosted to 25/1 to score first.
Cards have been far too frequent for much of the Huddersfield squad. Mathias Jorgensen, Philip Billing and Christopher Schindler have all been brandished five yellow cards or more. The team are priced at 9/4 to get 30+ booking points.
Manchester City are priced at 1/8 to win. Pep Guardiola’s side have recovered after their Christmas form and have won five straight matches in all competitions. Their last victory saw Gabriel Jesus pick up a brace against Wolves. The Brazilian has scored five goals this season and is priced at 5/1 to repeat his antics and score a brace.
Their last three matches have seen them score 19 goals and have not conceded a single goal. They are priced at 5/2 to win and over 4.5 goals in the match.
The referee for this match will be Andre Marriner. The official has averaged 32.2 booking points in his 13 Premier League matches.
The match will be televised on Sky Sports Premier League HD and kicks off at 13:30.

Swansea City vs Sheffield United – Match Preview
Swansea City vs Sheffield United
Saturday 19th January 2019
SkyBet Championship, Liberty Stadium
Live on Sky Sports Main Event – Kick-Off: 17:30 GMT
Swansea vs Sheffield United: The Blades will be looking to strengthen their grip on the automatic promotion places when they travel to face Swansea City on Saturday tea-time.
The Blades moved above Norwich on goal difference last weekend after their 1-0 win over QPR. Chris Wilder’s side could come into this game in third spot, with Norwich City facing Birmingham on Friday, so his side will know exactly what they need to do. United are in good form after a wobble in December, they have won their last four league games and only lost one of their last six in all competitions. David McGoldrick and Billy Sharp are still rattling in the goals upfront. McGoldrick scored the decisive goal last weekend – his tenth of the season. Gary Madine and Keiran Dowell have also been added to United’s squad as they seek to ensure they don’t miss out on a top-six finish after falling away last year. The Blades have also conceded once in four matches, recording three consecutive clean sheets.
Swansea’s form has been patchy lately. The Swans are unbeaten in their three but have won just once in five league games. They sit 13th in the table, but only six points off the top six. After relegation from the Premier League and a new manager in charge, this season was always likely to be one of transition for the Swans. That’s exactly how it’s turning out to be. Graham Potter has steadied the ship but will need the summer window to re-shape the squad. With a few more tweaks and additions, they could be a solid bet for a top-six finish next season. They have proven they can be a match for the best sides on their day, they just need to improve their consistency.
John Brooks is the referee for this fixture. The Englishman has officiated 12 Championship matches this season. In that time, he has accumulated an average booking points total of 44.6. Therefore, I would advise a maximum of 60+ total points for this fixture.
Swansea are capable of turning up against most sides on their day, but lack consistency. Sheffield United are in strong form and I fancy them to extend their winning run, this weekend.
Swansea City vs Sheffield United will be televised on Sky Sports Football HD and kicks off at 17:30.
Prediction: Swansea City 1-2 Sheffield United

Arsenal vs Chelsea – Match Preview
Arsenal vs Chelsea
Saturday 19th January 2019
FA Premier League, Emirates Stadium
Live on BT Sport 2 – Kick-Off: 17:30 GMT
Chelsea vs Arsenal: Arsenal host Chelsea in the London derby as both sides look to steal a march on the other in the race for the top four.
Arsenal will be hoping to bounce back from their 1-0 defeat West Ham last weekend. The result means Manchester United are now level on points with the Gunners, whilst they are six points behind Chelsea. This game is a must-win if they are to have any hopes of clawing back that deficit and finishing in the top four. They have only won two of their last six league games, which will be a big worry for Unai Emery.
The goals have also dried up for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. The Gabon striker has scored four in his last nine – which is hardly a baron spell – but isn’t up to his usual standards. Arsenal will be hoping he comes to the party against Chelsea, just as he did against Tottenham earlier in the campaign. The Gunners haven’t kept a clean sheet in their last six league games, so they’ll be hoping that they can help address that run.
Chelsea claimed an important 2-1 win over Newcastle last weekend, to strengthen their grip on the top four. Maurizio Sarri will also be buoyed by the news that Gonzalo Higuain looks set to join the club. The Argentinian striker played under Sarri at Napoli and thrived, so Chelsea will be hoping he will be the answer to their striking struggles. Alvaro Morata also looks set to end his unhappy spell in England with a move back to Spain, to Atletico Madrid. The Blues are unbeaten in their last four games in the league, and their last three on the road. They come into this match knowing that anything but a defeat will put them in pole position to ensure Champions League football next year.
Anthony Taylor is the referee for this fixture. The Englishman has officiated 16 top-flight matches this season. In that time, he has accumulated an average booking points total of 30. However, I would advise a maximum of 60+ total points for this derby fixture.
Arsenal need to win this game a lot more than Chelsea do, but they I don’t see them keeping Chelsea out at the back. That could make for a very open, entertaining match. I think the Blues might nick this one, which would make the top four almost unreachable for Arsenal.
Arsenal vs Chelsea will be televised live in the UK on BT Sport 2 with kick off at 17:30 GMT.

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Leicester City – Match Preview
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Leicester City
Saturday 19th January 2019
FA Premier League, Molineux
Live on Sky Sports Premier League – Kick-Off: 12:30 GMT
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Leicester City – Wolves host Leicester at Molineux in what could be a big game as both sides battle to finish seventh in the Premier League.
Wolves come into this game in 11th place, just two points but three places by their visitors. They were beaten 3-0 on Monday night by Manchester City, although they spent most of the match with ten men. Willy Boly was sent off after just 19 minutes and will subsequently miss this game.
Wolves’ form has been up and down this year. They have beaten/taken points from all of the top six, but tend to struggle at home to the smaller sides. Huddersfield, Crystal Palace and Watford have all won at Molineux this season, whilst Cardiff, and Fulham have both taken points from them on the road. Nuno Espirito Santo’s side are all but safe this year – bar a major catastrophe – so their aim is to finish as high as possible. They’re only three points behind Watford in seventh and will have strong ambitions to finish as ‘the best of the rest’.
Leicester manager Claude Puel comes into this game under pressure, despite recent wins over Chelsea, Everton and Manchester City. Back-to-back defeats against Newport County in the FA Cup and lowly Southampton at home have resurfaced some of the ‘Puel out’ brigade. Whilst they sit eighth in the league – and can realistically only finish seventh – the Foxes’ faithful have pointed to the style of football and Puel’s inability to field a strong side in the cup, as the reasons for their frustrations. They are inconsistent, that much is clear from their last six game, but they can’t do much more, in the League. Southampton sacked Puel despite finishing eighth but now are embroiled in relegation dog-fights year on year, so Leicester fans might be careful what they wish for.
Chris Kavanagh is the referee for this fixture. The Englishman has officiated 11 top-flight matches this season. In that time, he has accumulated an average booking points total of 34.1. Therefore, I would advise a maximum of 50+ total points for this fixture.
Wolves have a poor record at home against the lower-placed sides, so a win would help to dispel that run. Leicester need a win to ease the pressure on Puel from the fans and I think this one will finish all square, as a result.
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Leicester City will be televised on Sky Sports Premier League and kicks off at 12:30 GMT.

Norwich City vs Birmingham City – Match Preview
Norwich City vs Birmingham City
Friday 18th January 2019
SkyBet Championship, Carrow Road
Live on Sky Sports Main Event – Kick-Off: 19:45 GMT
Norwich City vs Birmingham City: The Canaries will be hoping to move back into the automatic promotion places when they take on play-off hopefuls Birmingham on Friday night at Carrow Road.
The Canaries are on their worst run of the campaign after just one win in six games. That run has seen them drop to third in the table, although they are level on points with second-placed Sheffield United. Daniel Farke’s side have exceeded expectations this season, but there are signs that they are beginning to run out of steam. Norwich’s habit of high-scoring games has begun to hurt them and they’re falling on the wrong side of some of those results. They did earn a positive draw at West Brom last time out, with Jordan Rhodes coming off the bench to snatch a point.
That was another game in which they left it late – Norwich have scored more goals after the 80th minute than any other team in England this season. The Canaries need to start keeping clean sheets if they’re to challenge for the top two. Their last came five games ago and they’ve conceded nine times since then. They have the firepower, they just need to tighten up at the back.
Birmingham have also surprised a few with their lofty position in the table. This time 12 months ago Birmingham were bottom – now they sit eight. That is a testament to the job Gary Monk has done at St Andrew’s. The Blues are only four points off the play-offs at present but need to address a four-game winless run in order to make ground on the top six. They lost to fellow promotion contenders Middlesbrough last time out, which was their first defeat at home in some time. On the road, they’ve only lost once in five games, which came in the FA Cup at West Ham. That shows they are a gritty side, which can dig in to get results.
Tim Robinson is the referee for this fixture. The Englishman has officiated 9 second-tier matches this season. In that time, he has accumulated an average booking points total of 52.8. Therefore, I would advise a maximum of 70+ total points for this fixture.
Norwich aren’t in the best of form, whilst Birmingham don’t often get beaten away from home. If the Canaries want the top two, this is the sort of tough game they have to win. Having said that, I think this will be a draw.
Norwich City vs Birmingham City will be televised on Sky Sports Football HD and kicks off at 19:45.

Manchester City vs Wolverhampton Wanderers – Match Preview
Manchester City vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
Monday 14th January 2019
FA Premier League, Etihad Stadium
Live on Sky Sports Premier League – Kick-Off: 20:00 GMT
Manchester City will go head to head with Wolverhampton Wanderers this Monday night in Premier League action.
The hosts are currently second and in hot pursuit of league leaders Liverpool who they beat 2-1 in their last Premier League encounter. Meanwhile Wolves are in ninth and are enjoying a stress-free first campaign back in England’s top flight.
Manchester City are heavy favourites with SkyBet and are priced at 1/5 to win. Pep Guardiola’s side have been a formidable force in recent weeks and their last outing in the EFL Cup proved that. They beat Burton Albion 9-0 and look raring to catch up to Liverpool in the Premier League. Their attacking force is formidable, and no one has been more dangerous to opposition defences than Sergio Aguero. The Argentine has 10 goals for the season and is 3/1 to score first this Monday.
The Citizens have been very impressive at home. In their 11 matches at the Etihad, they have conceded just 10 goals. They are priced at 5/6 to win to nil.
Wolves are priced at a huge 12/1 to get a win this Monday night. Nuno Santo’s side are fresh from their FA Cup delight with a 2-1 victory over Liverpool. They have also impressed so far this season, especially against the top six sides. Raul Jiménez has been the stand out figure spearheading the attack. The Mexican has 6 goals this season and is priced at 7/2 to score anytime.
Wolves have proved tough to beat on their travels. They have lost just one of their last five away matches and wont their last away outing in an impressive 3-1 victory over Spurs. SkyBet are offering a huge 28/1 for Wolves to win and both teams to score.
The referee for this match will be Craig Pawson. The official is not frightened to produce a card and has averaged 48.8 booking points in his 12 Premier League matches.
Everton vs Bournemouth will be televised live in the UK on Sky Sports Premier League HD with kick off at 20:00 GMT.

Tottenham Hotspur vs Manchester United – Match Preview
Tottenham Hotspur vs Manchester United
Sunday 13th January 2019
FA Premier League, Wembley Stadium
Live on Sky Sports Premier League – Kick-Off: 16:30 GMT
Tottenham vs Man Utd: Manchester United will be hoping to close the gap on the top four when they take on Tottenham in Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s biggest test since taking over as manager.
The Red Devils have won all six of Solskjaer’s games in charge to date, although a trip to Tottenham will represent their toughest test. Last time out, United secured their route into the fourth round of the FA Cup with a 2-0 win over Reading. That win also secured back-to-back clean sheets for the Reds for the first time this season. Romelu Lukaku grabbed his third goal in as many games against the Royals.
It will be interesting to see if Solskjaer prefers the Belgium upfront on Sunday, or whether he sticks with Marcus Rashford. United are six points behind fourth-placed Chelsea and ten behind Spurs ahead of this clash. United have scored two or more goals in each of Solskjaer’s six games so far, it’s keeping them out that could be their undoing against Tottenham.
Spurs have enjoyed a good week so far, after beating Chelsea 1-0 in the first leg of their Carabao Cup semi-final on Tuesday. Harry Kane’s controversial penalty was the difference, taking his tally to 21 for the season. He has scored seven goals in his last six games, which is his best run of the season so far.
Tottenham have kept three clean sheets in as many games, which is down to the settled pairing of David Sanchez and Toby Alderweireld, with Jan Vertonghen injured. Alderweireld has had his contract extended by Tottenham for a further year, which means he can leave for £25m in the summer. Long-time admirers Untied will be hoping to lure him north in the summer – he could prove to be the missing piece in their defensive puzzle.
Mike Dean is the referee for this fixture. The Englishman has officiated 12 top-flight matches this season. In that time, he has accumulated an average booking points total of 50.8. Therefore, I would advise a maximum of 60+ total points for this fixture.
United have genuinely been transformed by Solskjaer’s arrival, although they were massively underperforming anyway. This is a different level of test and Spurs are in a great form at the moment. As a result, I’m going to edge towards a tightly-contested win for Tottenham.
Tottenham Hotspur vs Manchester United will be televised live in the UK on Sky Sports Premier League with kick off at 16:30 GMT.

Everton vs Bournemouth – Match Preview
Everton vs Bournemouth
Sunday 13th January 2019
FA Premier League, Goodison Park
Live on Sky Sports Premier League – Kick-Off: 14:15 GMT
Everton will host Bournemouth in Premier League action this Sunday afternoon.
Both teams are occupying midtable positions in the league standings. They also share similar form. Everton have lost four of their last five matches whilst Bournemouth have lost three, drawn one and won one.
Everton are priced at 3/4 to win this match by SkyBet. The toffees have struggled for consistency during the season and enter this match on the back of two 1-0 losses in the league. Their forward line has been rather clinical this season however with both Richarlison and Gylfi Sigurdsson leading by example. The Brazilian forward has nine goals this season whilst the Icelandic midfielder has eight. Richarlison is a nightmare for any defence with his pace whilst Sigurdsson is a danger from set pieces and you can get odds of 7/2 for both of them to score.
Everton have not kept a clean sheet in their last eight matches. For both teams to score and Everton to win, SkyBet are paying out at odds of 21/10.
Bournemouth are priced at 10/3 to get three points away from home. Bournemouth are to be without new record signing Dominic Solanke who has sustained a thigh injury. In his immediate absence heads will turn to the ever-prolific Callum Wilson. Wilson has scored nine goals so far this season and is priced at 2/1 to score anytime this Sunday.
Their last three matches in all competitions has seen both teams score. Their defence this season would suggest that Everton are likely to find the net as they have conceded 40 goals in 21 games. SkyBet are offering 13/2 for both teams to score and the away side to win.
The referee for this match will be Anthony Taylor. The official is one of the more lenient in the Premier League and has averaged 30 booking points in his 14 league matches.
Everton vs Bournemouth will be televised live in the UK on Sky Sports Football HD with kick off at 14:15 GMT.

West Ham United vs Arsenal – Match Preview
West Ham United vs Arsenal
Saturday 12th January 2019
FA Premier League, London Stadium
Live on Sky Sports Premier League – Kick-Off: 12:30 GMT
West Ham United vs Arsenal: Arsenal will be hoping to address their run of two wins in six league games when they travel to London rivals West Ham on Saturday.
The Gunners secured their passage to the fourth round of the FA Cup last time out, as they beat Blackpool 3-0. Unai Emery made mass changes for that fixture, allowing his more senior professionals a week’s rest. Last time out in the league, Arsenal won 4-1 against Fulham. Those three points mean Arsenal sit fifth in the Premier League table, three points behind Chelsea in fourth.
With Manchester United also breathing down their necks, three points in this game are a necessity. Emery finally has a full selection of defenders to choose from, with Laurent Koscielny, Hector Bellerin and Shkodran Mustafi all passed fit for this fixture. Arsenal haven’t kept a clean sheet in their last five league games, so they’ll be hoping that their newly fit defence can help address that run. West Ham sit 10th in the Premier League, 12 points ahead of danger. In truth, Manuel Pellegrini’s men have little to play for – they’re not going down and they aren’t going to break into the top six. Their best hopes are to finish seventh and have a strong run in the FA Cup.
Their form has been mixed of late, they’ve won three, lost two and drawn one of their last six league outings. West Ham’s form at home has been good this season, they’ve only lost one of their last five at the London Stadium, in all competitions. The Hammers fought off interest in Marko Arnautovic, who was subject of a £35m bid from China. Their prized talisman has scored nine goals in 22 appearances this season, including three in his last two.
Jonathan Moss is the referee for this fixture. The Englishman has officiated 12 top-flight matches this season. In that time, he has accumulated an average booking points total of 40.8.
Therefore, I would advise a maximum of 60+ total points for this fixture. Arsenal have looked shaky in defence all season and come up against a West Ham side capable of scoring goals. I think this one might end in a draw, much to Emery’s frustration.
West Ham United vs Arsenal will be televised live in the UK on Sky Sports Premier League with Kick off at 12:30 GMT.

Leeds United vs Derby County – Match Preview
Leeds United vs Derby County
Friday 11th January 2019
SkyBet Championship, Elland Road
Live on Sky Sports Main Event – Kick-Off: 19:45 GMT
Leeds United vs Derby County: League-leaders Leeds United will be looking to end a run of three straight defeats when they host play-off hopefuls Derby County at Elland Road.
Leeds have stumbled in recent weeks, losing their last three matches in all competitions. They exited the FA Cup on Saturday at the hands of QPR, following defeats to Hull City and Nottingham forest beforehand. Prior to the result against Hull, Marcelo Bielsa’s side had won their last seven league matches, which had lifted them to the summit of the table. The main issue for Leeds this season, has been their growing injury list. All of their first-choice back four have missed parts of the season, as a result, which has taken its toll in some matches. Leeds will welcome back captain Liam Cooper for this game, who has missed the last seven matches with an ankle problem. He will slot back into the side, with Kalvin Phillips still missing through suspension after his red card against Forest.
With Cooper back, United will be hopeful of addressing a run of five games without a clean sheet. In that run, they’ve conceded 12 times, compared to the one goal they leaked in their five matches prior. When Leeds are at their best, they rarely concede, which is a habit they need to get back into. In attack, Kemar Roofe will once again lead the line. He has one of the best goal-to-minute ratios in the Championship this season, with 13 goals in 21 games.
Derby have had a mixed bags of results, over the festive period. The Rams have won three of their last nine in all competitions and sit sixth in the table, four points ahead of arch-rivals Nottingham Forest. Derby have developed a tag of being at their best against the best sides in the division. They have taken points from every side in the play-offs, bar Leeds. It’s their results against the other sides that can let them down, and that is what has stopped them pushing for the top two. Jack Marriott is their leading marksman, with ten goals in 25 appearances this season. All of those ten goals have comes in his last 16 games, which makes him one of the most in-form players in the league.
Paul Tierney is the referee for this fixture. The Englishman has officiated 13 Championship matches this season. In that time, he has accumulated an average booking points total of 38.1. Therefore, I would advise a maximum of 50+ total points for this fixture.
Neither of these sides come into this fixture in their best form. I fancy Leeds to nick this one and show their fighting title-contending spirit, after a poor run of results.
Leeds United vs Derby County will be televised live in the UK on Sky Sports Football with kick off at 19:45 GMT.
