Tottenham Hotspur vs Liverpool – Match Preview

Tottenham Hotspur vs Liverpool
Saturday 11th January 2020
FA Premier League, Tottenham Hotspur Stadium

Live on Sky Sports Football – Kick off 17:30 GMT.

 

Tottenham Hotspur will play host to Premier League leaders Liverpool this Saturday evening.

Spurs have just been hit with some bad injury news – Harry Kane is out until April with a hamstring problem. They are currently sixth in the league standings, six points from the Champions League places. Meanwhile, Liverpool are still unbeaten in the league and are 13 points clear at the top with a game in hand.

Tottenham are priced at 18/5 to win the match by SkyBet and end the Reds incredible unbeaten run. Liverpool are priced at 4/6 to win the match and continue their incredible pursuit of their first ever Premier League title. The visitors are quite clearly the in-form side and are coming up against an inconsistent Spurs side. Jose Mourinho’s arrival has steadied the ship, but they look rather vulnerable in defence. They have also lost their most recognised goal scorer whilst Liverpool’s front three are firing on all cylinders.

As mentioned, Liverpool should assert their dominance in this match with ease but do face a tougher opponent than usual. It is unlikely they will run away with the score line. Spurs could find a goal on the break as Jurgen Klopp’s side have had some shaky moments at the back.

If you are looking to back a goal scorer, then look no further than Liverpool’s Sadio Mane. The recently crowned African player of the year has scored eleven goals this term along with six assists and is at the heart of everything they do. He is up against Spurs’ Serge Aurier, who he should have on toast for 90 minutes.

The referee for this match will be Martin Atkinson. The official is one of the more lenient in the topflight with an average of 34.2 booking points from his 18 Premier League matches in charge. The match will be televised on Sky Sports Main Event HD and kicks off at 17:30 GMT.

Prediction: Tottenham Hotspur 0-2 Liverpool

Brighton and Hove Albion vs Chelsea – Match Preview

Brighton and Hove Albion vs Chelsea
Wednesday 1st
January 2020
FA Premier League, AMEX Stadium

Live on BT Sport 1 – Kick Off: 12:30 GMT

Brighton and Hove Albion will host Chelsea in Premier League action on New Years Day.

The hosts are hoping to keep the relegation zone in arm’s length as they are currently 14th, five points from the drop as it stands. Meanwhile, Chelsea are looking to cement their place in the top four places as they aim for more consistency in Frank Lampard’s debut season at Stamford Bridge.

Brighton and Hove Albion are priced at 5/2 to win the match by SkyBet and start the new decade off with a shock victory. The Seagulls have played some good stuff under Graham Potter with the aim of midtable mediocrity for this campaign. They are also struggling for consistency during the hectic December schedule but pulled off a convincing 2-0 victory over Bournemouth on the 28th.

Striker Neal Maupay is proving he was worth the risk when they signed him in January and has seven goals this term. He is priced at 7/5 to score anytime.

Chelsea are priced at 1/1 to win the match and build on from their dramatic winner in the London derby last time out. The Blues beat Arsenal with two late goals a couple days ago and will hope to continue totting up points heading into the new year. Lampard’s men are struggling for form at times due to their lack of topflight experience; with a record of two wins and two losses in their last four.

Striker Tammy Abraham is doing a great job spearheading the club’s attack and scored the last gasp winner at the Emirates Stadium. It was his 12th goal of the season and he’s priced at 1/1 to score anytime at the AMEX Stadium.

The referee for this match will be Stuart Attwell. The official could have his work cut out for him on Wednesday, as the last time these two met, 50 booking points were brandished.

The match will be televised on BT Sport 1 HD and kicks off at 12:30.

Prediction: Brighton and Hove Albion 1-2 Chelsea

– This could be a tight one, but the visitors showcased great character in their previous outing.

Manchester United vs Newcastle United – Match Preview

Manchester United vs Newcastle United
Thursday 26th
December 2019
FA Premier League, Old Trafford

Live on Amazon Prime – Kick Off: 17:30 GMT

Manchester United will play host to Newcastle United in a Premier League Boxing Day match-up.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will want to quickly forget their Watford embarrassment as they lost 2-0 to bottom of the table last time out and make things right and Old Trafford. Meanwhile, Steve Bruce will be wanting to cement their position as a solid mid-table side in the Premier League.

Manchester United are priced at 4/11 to win the match by SkyBet and make up for their Vicarage Road blunder. United are well aware of their form against the ‘lower opposition’ in the table that has led them to having a stop start campaign. Despite their clear errors in their previous outing, one positive was the return of Paul Pogba. The midfielder has not escaped the headlines with his exit rumours but was a class above in his cameo against Watford. He is priced at 2/1 to score anytime.

Newcastle United are priced at 8/1 to win the match and pull off a shock that would continue their good form in the league. The Toon are going well in the league under Steve Bruce – who is proving many doubters wrong. They have much more of an attacking presence in recent weeks and this is shown by their three wins from their last four matches.

Last time, Miguel Almiron finally broke his duck and scored his first Newcastle goal in their 1-0 victory over Crystal Palace. He is priced at a huge 8/1 to net again as his confidence grows in black and white.

The referee for this match will be Kevin Friend. The official has been rather quick to brandish his cards this campaign and has averaged 40.4 booking points from his 12 top-flight encounters. SkyBet are offering 1/1 for 40+ booking points.

The match will be televised on Amazon Prime Video and kicks off at 17:30.

Prediction: Manchester United 1-0 Newcastle United

– It should be a tight affair but United should just steal it.
