Everton vs Liverpool
Sunday 3rd March 2019
FA Premier League, Goodison Park
Live on Sky Sports Main Event HD – Kick-Off: 16:15 GMT
Everton vs Liverpool: League-leaders Liverpool travel across Merseyside on Saturday looking to regain their lead at the top of the Premier League against their nearest rivals.
The Reds got back to winning ways in midweek with an emphatic 5-0 win over Watford. Sadio Mane continued his hot streak of form with a brace. The Malian international played in a more central role, with Roberto Firmino sidelined with an ankle injury. Virgil van Dijk also notched two goals as Jurgen Klopp’s men maintained their one-point lead over Manchester City. With the Citizens travelling to Bournemouth on Saturday, it’s likely that Liverpool will find themselves second heading into this fixture. They won this match in controversial fashion at Anfield, with Divock Origi’s late winner the difference after Jordon Pickford has pushed the ball onto the bar instead of out of play. Liverpool are unbeaten in their last four Premier League away games but have drawn their last two. An early goal could be key to settling the nerves at Goodison Park.
Everton responded to three straight defeats with a 3-0 win away at Cardiff City on Tuesday. Gylfi Sigurdsson’s brace and a Dominic Calvert-Lewin strike made the difference in Wales. That was Everton’s first clean sheet in four games and second in seven. That’s a run Marco Silva’s team need to improve if they’re to climb up the table. The Toffees occupy ninth spot and are only four points behind Wolves who hold that coveted European spot. With only six points separating them and 12th-placed Bournemouth, there is a real battle on to secure Europa League football. Realistically, that has to be the aim for Everton, especially given the money they spent in the summer. The added bonus on Sunday would be derailing Liverpool’s title ambitions, which would give the supporters no greater joy.
Martin Atkinson is the referee for this fixture. The Englishman has officiated 35 top-flight matches this season. In that time, he has accumulated an average booking points total of 33.7. Therefore, I would advise a maximum of 50+ total points for this fixture.
Everton haven’t been in the greatest of form lately but showed in the last meeting that they are capable of frustrating Liverpool. I fancy the Reds to win but an early goal could be key to deciding the full-time result.
Everton vs Liverpool will be televised live in the UK on Sky Sports Premier League and kicks off at 16:15.

Fulham vs Chelsea – Match Preview
Fulham vs Chelsea
Sunday 3rd March 2019
FA Premier League, Craven Cottage
Live on Sky Sports Main Event HD – Kick-Off: 14:05 GMT
Fulham will play host to London rivals Chelsea this Sunday afternoon in Premier League action.
The home side have a new man in the dug-out in the form of Scott Parker after the club sacked Claudio Ranieri during the week. Their four-loss streak seemingly the reasoning for his departure. Meanwhile, Chelsea restored some faith as they beat rivals Tottenham Hotspur 2-0 in a midweek clash.
Fulham are underdogs for this match despite having home advantage. SkyBet have priced them at 5/1 to win. Fulham’s recent 2-0 loss to Southampton proved to be the final match for Claudio Ranieri who left the team ten points deep in the relegation zone. Fulham have scored just once in their last four matches however at home they have been a little more successful. With goals in four of their last five at Craven Cottage, one man hoping to improve the goal scoring record will be Aleksander Mitrovic. The striker has already managed 10 goals this season and is Fulham’s biggest hope of catching up to 17th. He is 9/5 to score anytime.
Chelsea shouldn’t have too many issues with this match and are priced at 8/15. The Blues finally found a stroke of luck as they defeated London rivals Tottenham during the week. A goal from Pedro and a spectacular own goal from Kieran Trippier saw Sarri’s side over the line. Eden Hazard impressed during that match, as he has done so much in recent weeks. The Belgian has 12 goals in the league and is 11/10 to score anytime and add to that tally this Sunday.
The referee for this match will be Graham Scott. The official is one of the most lenient in the whole league, with an average of 26.9 booking points from 16 top-flight matches in charge.
Fulham vs Chelsea will be televised on Sky Sports Premier League and kicks off at 14:05.
Prediction: Fulham 0 – 3 Chelsea
– Fulham are having a torrid time and Chelsea still have a point to prove. Can only see this going one way.
Suggested Tips – Fulham vs Chelsea – (BET365):
- Correct score: Chelsea – 3-0 – (link no longer available).

Watford vs Leicester City – Match Preview
Watford vs Leicester City
Sunday 3rd March 2019
FA Premier League, Vicarage Road
Live on Sky Sports Main Event HD – Kick-Off: 12:00 GMT
Watford and Leicester City will go toe to toe in Premier League action this weekend.
The home side will want to wipe the egg off their face after getting a 5-0 pasting from Liverpool midweek. Meanwhile, Leicester finally undone their torrid form with a 2-1 victory over Brighton on the same day they announced Brendan Rodgers as their manager.
The bookmakers are struggling to call this match, with Watford priced at 7/5 to win by SkyBet. Watford had a torrid time in their last outing against Liverpool. However, before they met the league leaders, they had won three straight matches in the bounce. In recent weeks, tricky winger Gerard Deulofeu has stolen the headlines. The Spaniard grabbed a tidy hat-trick against Cardiff and is price boosted to 8/1 to score first.
The last two meeting between these two have seen the Foxes win by a 2-0 score line. But the last time they played at Vicarage Road, Watford won 2-1. That score line is price boosted by SkyBet to 10/1 to happen again.
Leicester City are priced at 19/10 to win – a tempting price given the predicted manager bounce at the club right now. With a new man at the helm, things look exciting for Leicester and their last outing against Brighton saw front man Jamie Vardy bag a crucial goal that proved the winner. With Rodgers exciting style of attacking football, many are predicting Vardy will continue to increase his goal tally – that already sits at 9 for the season. He is 5/1 to score first.
The referee for this match will be John Moss. The official has been rather fair in his officiating this season in the Premier League and has averaged 38.9 booking points so far.
Watford vs Leicester City will be televised on Sky Sports Main Event HD and kicks off at 12:00.
Prediction: Watford 1 – Leicester City 2
– I expect the away side to be invigorated by their new managers arrival and just clinch this match.
Suggested Tips – Watford vs Leicester City – (BET365):
- Correct score: Leicester City to win – 2-1 – (link no longer available).
- First Goalscorer – Jamie Vardy – (link no longer available).

West Ham United vs Newcastle United – Match Preview
West Ham United vs Newcastle United
Saturday 2nd March 2019
FA Premier League, London Stadium
Live on Sky Sports Main Event HD – Kick-Off: 17:30 GMT
West Ham United host Newcastle United in Premier League action this Saturday evening.
The home side will be hoping to bounce back after a slender loss to Manchester City during the week. Meanwhile, Newcastle will be hoping to continue their form as they enter the match on the back of two straight 2-0 victories.
West Ham are slight favourites for this encounter as SkyBet have priced them at 21/20 to win. The Hammers won’t be too disheartened after their 1-0 loss to Man City. Their home form has been very impressive with 3 wins and 2 draws from their last five matches. Going forward, Brazilian Felipe Anderson has been a worthwhile signing as he has grabbed eight for the season. He is price boosted to 6/1 to open the scoring this weekend.
The last time these two met, West Ham ran away with a comfortable 3-0 lead. They are 18/1 to repeat that score line.
Newcastle are priced at 5/2 to win – a tempting price given their recent performances. Newcastle’s last match was another sign of a new age under Rafa Benitez. They looked threatening in attack and comfortable in possession. New signing Miguel Almiron has got the fans off their seats since his arrival and is 7/2 to score anytime.
Three of their last four wins have seen just them score. They are 11/2 to win to nil.
If you’re fancying a fun bet – back the price boost for Fabian Schar to score from outside the area at 40/1. The defender unleashed an unbelievable strike on Tuesday night against Burnley.
The referee for this match will be Chris Kavanagh. The official hasn’t been too harsh with the cards when in charge of the top-flight matches. He has averaged 33.5 booking points in his 26 Premier League matches.
West Ham United vs Newcastle United will be televised on Sky Sports Main Event HD and kicks off at 17:30.
Prediction: West Ham United 0-1 Newcastle United
Newcastle look a different team in recent weeks and West Ham are very inconsistent.
Suggested Tips – West Ham United vs Newcastle United – (BET365):
- Correct score: Newcastle United to win – 1-0 – (link no longer available).
- First Goalscorer – Felipe Anderson – (link no longer available).
Suggested Tips – West Ham United vs Newcastle United – (SKYBET):
- Correct Score Group Betting – Newcastle United to win 1-0, 2-0 or 2-1 – 7/2.

Tottenham Hotspur vs Arsenal – Match Preview
Tottenham Hotspur vs Arsenal
Saturday 2nd March 2019
FA Premier League, Wembley StadiumLive on BT Sport 1 – Kick-Off: 12:30 GMT
Tottenham Hotspur vs Arsenal: Tottenham will be looking to address back-to-back defeats when they host fourth-placed Arsenal at Wembley in the North London derby.
Mauricio Pochettino’s side slipped to a second defeat in four days as they went down 2-0 to rivals Chelsea. Kieran Tripper’s horror mix-up with Hugo Lloris was the major taking point, although the French captain didn’t cover himself in glory for Pedro’s opener either. Despite Harry Kane returning for both of these matches, Spurs have somehow got worse. The Englishman doesn’t quite look 100%, in truth, which may have had its part to play. As a result, Tottenham head into this fixture just four points ahead of their rivals in third. Any lingering title ambitions have now gone and Spurs need to refocus to ensure they don’t slip out of the top four completely. They will still have memories of their slip-up at the Emirates which saw them go from 2-1 up to 4-2 losers.
Arsenal are in good form heading into the Norh London Derby. Unai Emery has seen his side win five of their last six league outings, which has moved them a point clear in fourth. Mesut Ozil and Henrikh Mkhitaryan were the star performers in their 5-1 thrashing of Bournemouth in midweek. The German midfielder has struggled for game time this season but it will be hard for Emery to drop him after that performance. That could depend largely on what shape the Arsenal boss goes for. They’ve deployed a back three, as they did on Wednesday, on multiple occasions and a 4-4-2 diamond. Both systems accommodate a number ten, which could work in Ozil’s favour. Worryingly, Arsenal have won just one of their last four away games, in all competitions. A run they will need to put right, on Saturday.
Kevin Friend 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 31.5. Therefore, I would advise a maximum of 50+ total points for this fixture.
Tottenham will be desperate to put their poor run to bed, with a trip to Dortmund looming next week. Arsenal come into this fixture in good form and will be buoyed by their win in the last meeting between the pair. Therefore, I’m going for a high-scoring draw, after six goals last time around.
Tottenham Hotspur vs Arsenal will be televised live in the UK on BT Sport 1 with kick-off at 12:30 PM GMT.

Leeds United vs West Bromwich Albion – Match Preview
Leeds United vs West Bromwich Albion
Friday 1st March 2019
The Championship, Elland RoadLive on Sky Sports Football/Sky Sports Main Event– Kick-Off: 19:45 GMT
Leeds United and West Bromwich Albion – a crucial match which could have a huge effect on who gets promoted in the SkyBet Championship.
Both clubs were disappointed in their previous outings. Leeds were halted by a 1-0 loss to QPR that saw them bitterly frustrated having had 64% possession. West Brom were also frustrated against Sheffield United as they lost 1-0 despite having 18 attempts on goal. Just one place separates the two sides with Leeds in third and their opponents four points behind in fourth.
Leeds have been pipped as slight favourites for this encounter and are priced at 23/20 to win by SkyBet. Leeds are painfully close to the top of the table, with their loss to QPR denying them top spot. However, they now return back home where they have the best record in the league. They have won 11 and lost just three on home soil and Ezgjan Alioski has been a key figure in Leeds success this season. His tricky feet and eye for goal has got them through some tough matches and he is priced at 3/1 to score anytime – having already scored 6 goals this term.
However, Leeds do enjoy some drama as they have conceded in their last seven consecutive matches. They are price boosted to 7/2 to win and for both teams to score.
West Brom are priced at 23/10 to win the match. The Baggies will enter this match frustrated that their efforts didn’t result in anything against promotion hopefuls, Sheffield United. It was the first time they failed to score in front of a home crowd all season. One man looking to get them back into winning ways will be Jay Rodriguez and the English striker has 17 goals to his name and is 15/8 to score anytime.
The referee for this match will be Tim Robinson. The official has not been shy with his cards this season and has averaged 46.2 booking points from his 26 Championship matches.
Leeds United and West Bromwich Albion will be televised on Sky Sports Football HD and kicks off at 19:45.
Prediction: Leeds United 1-1 West Bromwich Albion
It’s such a tough match to call but it does seem likely there will be goals.
