Manchester United vs Liverpool
Sunday 24th February 2019
FA Premier League, Old Trafford
Live on Sky Sports Main Event – Kick-Off: 14:05 GMT
Manchester United vs Liverpool: the visitors will be hoping to move back to the top of the Premier League table when they travel to Manchester United in North-West derby.
The Reds travel to Old Trafford to play out their game in hand over rivals Manchester City. Jurgen Klopp’s side currently sit level on points with Pep Guardiola’s men but their goal difference is ten goals inferior. A win would move them three points clear at the summit, against their greatest rivals. Liverpool drew 0-0 with PSG in midweek, in the first leg of their UEFA Champions League knockout tie. Virgil van Dijk was suspended for that game but will return to the Reds’ defence on Sunday. Klopp’s side beat United 3-1 back December, a game which ended Jose Mourinho’s reign as boss. Now the two clubs enter this game in very different positions, although Liverpool are still firm favourites. Sadio Mane opened the scoring against the Bournemouth, in their last league outing, which is his fourth goal in as many games. The Malian international could be a bet for first goalscorer.
Manchester United head into this fixture in a totally different mindset to that in December. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side impressed once again on Monday night as they won 2-0 against Chelsea. The Norwegian has now overseen wins at Stamford Bridge, Wembley and the Emirates Stadium. The last time United won at all three of those clubs for over thirty years, which underlines how well he has done. Jesse Lingard and Anthony Martial’s absence will be felt but Juan Mata and Romelu Lukaku both had strong games on Monday night. The Belgian is yet to score against Liverpool in his United career, however.
Michael Oliver is the referee for this fixture. The Englishman has officiated 14 top-flight matches this campaign. In that time, he has accumulated an average booking points total of 31.4. As a result, I would recommend a maximum of 50+ total points, for this fixture.
Manchester United will be desperate to derail Liverpool’s title tilt and look to restore their name as top dogs in the North West. In one of the biggest games of the season, I’m expecting fireworks, goals and nothing to separate the two sides.
Manchester United vs Liverpool will be televised live in the UK on Sky Sports Main Event with kick-off at 14:05 GMT.

Burnley vs Tottenham Hotspur – Match Preview
Burnley vs Tottenham Hotspur
Saturday 23rd February 2019
FA Premier League, Turf Moor
Live on Sky Sports Premier League HD – Kick-Off: 12:30 GMT
Burnley vs Tottenham Hotspur: Tottenham will be looking to close the gap on the top two when they visit relegation-threatened Burnley in the Saturday lunch-time game.
Spurs enjoyed a refreshing ten-day break after beating Borussia Dortmund 3-0 last Wednesday. Tottenham produced one of their best performances of the season against their German counterparts, despite being without several key men. Harry Kane is now back in training having missed the last seven games, although this game will probably come too soon for him. Heung-Min Son has been the man carrying the burden of scoring goals, to great effect. The 26-year-old has 16 goals this season, including 11 goals in his last 12 games. Spurs face Chelsea, Arsenal and Dortmund in the space of a week after this fixture. A run of games that will define their season. Therefore, they’ll want to go into that game in the best possible shape – with three points on Saturday.
Burnley’s recent upturn in form has seen them pull away from relegation danger. Sean Dyche’s side are still amongst the thick of things but are now 15th, three points clear of danger. Their 3-1 win over Brighton last time out was one of their best performance this season. Chris Wood grabbed a brace in that game, the striker’s third in as many games. Burnley are unbeaten in their last three home games, winning two of them. Saturday’s match against Tottenham will be a tough test for the Clarets, but given their recent form, they’ll feel capable of getting something from the game.
Mike Dean is the referee for this fixture. The Englishman has officiated nine top-flight matches this campaign. In that time, he has accumulated an average booking points total of 50.4. As a result, I would recommend a maximum of 70+ total points, for this fixture. Should Dean show a red card, it will be his 100th in the Premier League.
This will be a much tougher game than some might expect for Spurs. They are in superb form, though, having won their last league five games. Burnley will give it a good go, but I fancy Tottenham to just edge this one.
Burnley vs Tottenham Hotspur will be televised live in the UK on Sky Sports Premier League with kick off at 12:30 PM GMT.

West Ham United vs Fulham – Match Preview
West Ham United vs Fulham
Friday 22nd February 2019
FA Premier League, London Stadium
Live on Sky Sports Premier League HD – Kick-Off: 19:45 GMT
West Ham United vs Fulham: West Ham will be looking to end a run of five games without a win when they host relegation strugglers Fulham at the London Stadium on Friday night.
The Hammers haven’t tasted victory since their impressive 1-0 win over Arsenal on January 12. Since two draws and three defeats have seen Manuel Pelligrini’s side drop to tenth in the table and crash out of the FA Cup to AFC Wimbledon. In the last two games, West Ham have collected a point, against tough opposition. They’re battling performance against Liverpool earnt them plaudits, which were followed up with a draw at Crystal Palace. Long-term absentee Manuel Lanzini should be back for this one. The Argentinian ruptured his cruciate ligament weeks before the start of the World Cup, last year. Samir Nasri is also expected to play a part, whilst top scorer Marco Arnautovic is now also back in action.
Fulham have enjoyed ten days off after being knocked out of the FA Cup in the third round. Their match at West Ham begins a run of season-defining fixtures, which they need to get points from. The Cottagers face Southampton and Leicester in two of their next three fixtures after this one. With Bournemouth, Cardiff, Wolves and Newcastle their final four fixtures, it’s vital they’re still in with a chance to survive when they reach those games. Claudio Ranieri’s side sit 19th in the table, eight points adrift of safety. They have the worst defensive record in the league, after shipping 58 goals in 26 games.
Lee Mason is the referee for this fixture. The Englishman has officiated nine top-flight matches this campaign. In that time, he has accumulated an average booking points total of 35.9. As a result, I would recommend a maximum of 50+ total points, for this fixture.
West Ham will be hoping to get back to winning ways, on their own turf. Fulham are horrendous travellers and therefore I can only see this ending one way – in a home win.
West Ham United vs Fulham will be televised live in the UK on Sky Sports Premier League with kick-off at 19:45 GMT.
