Chelsea vs Everton – Match Preview

Chelsea vs Everton
Sunday 8th March 2020
FA Premier League, Stamford Bridge

Live on Sky Sports Main Event HD – Kick Off: 14:00 GMT

Chelsea will host Everton in Premier League action this Sunday afternoon.

The hosts have a tight race for the top four places going into the business end of the season and currently sit in fourth – pole position. They made up for a poor run in the league with a 2-0 FA Cup win over Liverpool during the week. Meanwhile, Everton have been slowly climbing the table since Carlo Ancelotti’s arrival but have failed to win their last two matches.

Chelsea are priced at 5/6 by SkyBet to win the match and build on from their impressive victory over Liverpool in the cup. Whilst the Blues have had a great first season under Frank Lampard’s management, they have failed to make Stamford Bridge a fortress. They have only claimed six points from their last five matches but will be brimming in confidence after their cup win.

Brazilian winger Willian has had an impressive stretch of performances and will have more responsibilities in goal with Tammy Abraham absent. He scored against Liverpool in midweek and is priced at 3/1 to score anytime.

Everton are priced at 3/1 to claim an away victory as they try to chase down the pack fighting it out for European football next season. The Toffees are in decent form with just one loss from their last seven in the league. However, they never like travelling to Chelsea. They are winless in 24 Premier League visits so history could repeat itself once more.

In attack, Dominic Calvert-Lewin is enjoying the best season of his career and has 13 league goals so far this term. He is priced at 7/5 to score anytime.

The referee for this match will be Kevin Friend. The official has been less lenient than others this season and has an average of 37.1 booking points from his 19 topflight matches.

The match will be televised on Sky Sports Main Event HD and kicks off at 14:00.

Prediction: Chelsea 2-1 Everton 

– This should be a close match-up, but the hosts have a little more quality all over the pitch.

Bristol City vs Fulham – Match Preview

Bristol City vs Fulham
Saturday 7th 
March 2020
The Championship, Ashton Gate

Live on Sky Sports Football HD – Kick Off: 12:30 GMT

Bristol City will play host to promotion hopefuls Fulham in SkyBet Championship action this Saturday lunchtime.

The hosts are having a torrid time of late without a win in four matches and suffered three defeats on the trot. They are still in the picture for the play-offs but need to turn their fortunes round quickly. Meanwhile, Fulham are proving to be the real deal as they remain in touching distance of the top two places held by West Brom and Leeds United.

Bristol City are priced at 12/5 to win the match by SkyBet and put an end to their poor form in the second division. The Robins have well and truly stalled in their season. They are without a win or a clean sheet in six league matches. Lee Johnson’s side have also struggled in front of goal with just two netted in their last four matches.

Nahki Wells, who joined in January after time at QPR, has been impressive across the campaign and now has 14 goals to his name. He is priced at 2/1 to score anytime.

Fulham are priced at 11/10 to claim a vital victory on the road as they cement their place in the top six. The Londoners are having a great season under Scott Parker’s regime and boast a great away record. They are unbeaten in six matches on the road and have one of the most deadly strikers in the league.

Aleksander Mitrovic has continued to prove why he is too good for the second division with 23 goals this season. He is priced at 6/5 to score anytime.

The referee for this match will be David Coote. The official has not been too involved in the Championship this season with just seven matches in charge but has averaged a huge 48.9 booking points from those matches.

The match will be televised on Sky Sports Football HD and kicks off at 12:30.

Prediction: Bristol City 1-2 Fulham

– This should be a tight match and the visitors have plenty of match winners in their side.

Suggested Tips – Bristol City vs Fulham – (BET 365)

Nottingham Forest vs Millwall – Match Preview

Nottingham Forest vs Millwall
Friday 6th March
 2020
The Championship, City Ground

Live on Sky Sports Football HD – Kick Off: 19:45 GMT

Nottingham Forest will host Millwall in SkyBet Championship action this Friday night.

The hosts are on a four-game unbeaten run and are aiming to cement their place in the top six places for the play-offs. Automatic promotion seems highly unlikely. Meanwhile, Millwall still find themselves in the mad hunt for a play-off place but it is likely they will just fall short and are not in the best form.

Nottingham Forest are priced at 13/10 by SkyBet to win the match and continue their impressive unbeaten run in the league. Sabri Lamouchi’s side are kicking into gear at the right time of the season. They are a rather industrious side, with moments of flair in attack but they base themselves off being hard to defeat. They have kept two clean sheets in their last three home matches.

In attack, striker Lewis Grabban got back to scoring ways with a crucial goal in their 2-2 draw with Middlesbrough. He has 17 goals this season and is priced at 8/5 to score anytime.

Millwall are priced at 9/4 to claim a shock victory away at home and their first three points in four matches. The Lions are definitely still in their den as we enter the crucial end of the season. The London-based club have not impressed in recent weeks and are struggling to create in front of goal.

Attacker Jed Wallace has been Millwall’s main goal threat with 10 goals and 9 assists this term. He is priced at 5/2 to score anytime.

The referee for this match will be Geoff Eltringham. The official has been no-nonsense this season with an average of 40.6 booking points from his 18 Championship matches in charge.

Nottingham Forest vs Millwall will be televised on Sky Sports Football HD and kicks off at 19:45.

Prediction: Nottingham Forest 2-0 Millwall

– The hosts are in good form and are trying to cement a top six finish. Their quality should be too much.
