For a while, it was Tottenham who were slipping but their 1-0 win over Newcastle on Wednesday means fourth is the worst they can finish and they are now guaranteed to be playing in Europe’s top club competition during their maiden campaign at their brand spanking new stadium. That leaves Liverpool and Chelsea as the […]
Arsenal offer midweek Premier League value
There are no fewer than six Premier League games taking place in midweek, and among those the Arsene Wenger farewell tour continues on Wednesday. The Gunners have looked far better since Wenger’s exit announcement and they capped his final home gap at the Emirates with a crushing 5-0 win over Burnley on Sunday. Up next […]
Blues to bring Liverpool back down to earth
Chelsea can mark their return to Stamford Bridge after three victories in a row on the road when they take on Champions League finalists Liverpool on Sunday. Antonio Conte’s side slipped down the table when they only took seven points from a possible 24 recently but one-goal victories at Southampton, Burnley and Swansea have lifted […]
Saints can take big step to safety
Southampton can drag Swansea City and Huddersfield further into the relegation mire by inflicting a sixth home defeat of the season on Everton this weekend. Sam Allardyce’s side have improved recently, taking 14 points from their last seven fixtures, but Saints showed in their 2-1 victory against Bournemouth that they have the appetite to escape […]
Daily Tips – Wembley advantage key for Spurs
Spurs stumbled in the semi-finals of the FA Cup last year but I’m backing them to reach the final by overcoming Manchester United at the same stage today. Last season Tottenham hadn’t shaken off their Wembley hoodoo as they went down 4-2 to Chelsea. This time around Mauricio Pochettino’s men have been playing their home […]
Pochettino’s men must earn FA Cup Spurs
Despite manager Mauricio Pochettino attempting to relieve some of the pressure on his team, it is Tottenham who must perform on FA Cup semi-finals weekend. Last season Spurs crashed out against Chelsea, losing 4-2 despite a last-four encounter at Wembley where they were seemingly in control for long spells. A dream final against bitter north […]
Expect goals galore at Bournemouth
Bournemouth welcome Manchester United to the Vitality Stadium on Wednesday evening and will be wary of a backlash from Jose Mourinho’s men. The Red Devils were appalling in Sunday’s 1-0 home defeat to West Brom and Mourinho has warned his troops that they are in danger of missing out on a place in his side […]
Spurs to sink struggling Seagulls
Brighton probably need to win one more match to preserve their Premier League status for another season but they are unlikely to get it against Tottenham on Tuesday. After losing 3-2 at Crystal Palace on Saturday, Brighton are seven points clear of the bottom three, but have only taken one point from their last four […]
Hammers to further hamper Stoke hopes
Monday sees the latest batch of Premier League action rounded off as West Ham welcome Stoke City to the London Stadium. The Hammers seem to have found their form at the right time, claiming four points from their last two outings to move away from the relegation zone. In contrast, the Potters have won just […]
Daily Tips – Spurs can extend City slump
Manchester City are arguably enduring their worst spell since Pep Guardiola took charge and Saturday’s trip to Tottenham is probably not what they need at this point. Any issues City had last season could be put down to a bedding in period for the Catalan coach, and this year that offered so much promise just […]
