Premier League is back! After boring international friendlies, here are my previews and predictions for Game Week 13:
Brighton and Hove vs Leicester City
Brighton and Hove have proven to be a bit formidable this season as they host a tough Leicester City.
Leicester City’s transition since their title winning season has been tough thus far and they yet have to prove that they can still have what it takes to be a top club in the Premier League. This will not be an easy match for them away from home but they have what it takes to pull all 3 points if they play their cards right.
Vote: Leicester City win
Everton vs Cardiff
Everton have been staggering since the start of the season but are still holding on.
Cardiff have faced tough opponents since the start of season but are yet to prove themselves in the League. With 2 home wins, 2 draws and 8 defeats this could be chance for them steal their first away victory of the season.
Vote: Draw
Fulham vs Southampton
Fulham are another team that has struggled to pull their one weight since coming back to Premier League. Nearly halfway into the season and they have 1 win and 2 draws to show for it.
Southampton have also been far from impressive as from previous seasons though their recent performances show that they are determined to push themselves back up.
Vote: Southampton Win
Manchester United vs Crystal Palace
It has been a bit of a roller coaster for Man U this season. The previous derby game against Man city was never going to be an easy test. This will be their chance to find some consistency.
Crystal Place are team that fears no big club. Though the fight will be tough for them away from home.
Vote: Manchester United Win
Watford vs Liverpool
Watford had a bright start to the season, but slowly started losing their grip as time went on. Though they have the edge to pull it off at home they face a tough and ruthless Liverpool side.
Liverpool are still undefeated and have only draw to 2 clubs in the top six. They are likely not going to hold back even though they are away from home.
Vote: Liverpool Win
West Ham United vs Manchester City
West Ham’s performances have not been bad at all this season; just misfortune and lack of wins. Some of their recent performances have show that they may have what it takes to climb up the table.
Man City are almost in cruise control and do not play soft games against teams beneath them. They are still unbeaten and have are doing whatever it takes to stay top in the league.
Vote: Manchester City Win
Tottenham Hotspur vs Chelsea
The Spurs have proven to be formidable opponents in this London derby in recent years. There is nothing to say that they cannot pull all 3 points if they are on the “A” game, however they cannot afford to underestimate an unbeaten Chelsea at all.
Chelsea are fighting to stay in the top. Though have dropped points with a 4 draws this season they will not want to slip any more points away in this London derby if they want to continue fighting for the top spot.
Vote: Draw
Bournemouth vs Arsenal
Bournemouth have been brighter, sharper and impressive that ever. They will be looking to keep up they performances this season but host a tough Arsenal side.
The transition of Arsenal’s management has seen look better this time around than last season. Though they are still low in the table they are showing that they can rise to be title winning contenders. Their biggest test will be to not take Bournemouth lightly especially that they are away from home.
Vote: Arsenal Win
Wolverhampton vs Huddersfield
A triple performance for The Wolves this far (4 wins, 4 draws, 4 lost); possibly and indication of an average season for them. Although it is not hard to take away their bright start to the season and how impressive they have been this time around than when they were last in the League. It will be a tough contest against a Huddersfield side that are fighting to gain momentum in the League
Huddersfield have been far from impressive this season. 1 victory, 4 draws and 7 defeats indicate that they still have some work to do. However, a victory away from home could be a bright start towards something new for them in the season.
Vote: Wolverhampton Win
Burnely vs Newcastle
Burnley could arguably be in a better position than they are now. They are another team that fear little against big clubs especially at home, but that hasn’t been the case this season. They still have the edge in this game against a Newcastle side that is somewhat shaky this season.
Newcastle’s performance in their last 3 games has shown signs of improvement since beginning of season. With a bit of high momentum at this point, an away win would help push further up the table and boost their morale even more.
Vote: Newcastle Win
Lets find out how things turn out in this Game Week. Also, all the best to those playing Fantasy League.
