Aston Villa to beat Crystal Palace @ 2.81
Two sides that have been unpredictable in recent weeks face off at Selhurst Park on Tuesday, having both been victorious last time out. Palace managed a strong away win over a consistent Fulham team, while Villa brushed Chelsea aside.
The January arrivals at Villa park are already making their mark, with Marco Asensio and Marcus Rashford forcing their way into Unai Emery’s starting XI. This will undoubtedly give them a boost as they charge towards their goal of another year of Champions League football. We think they’ll keep their streak going with a win at Palace.
Omar Marmoush to score vs Tottenham @ 2.61
Manchester City against Tottenham has turned into a Premier League classic in recent seasons. Spurs seem to be the team that always manages to trouble City and between them, they’ve racked up an impressive 16 goals in the last five meetings. We expect another thriller this week, especially considering the unpredictable form of both sides.
With star striker Erling Haaland out injured, City are relying on January signing Omar Marmoush for goals. He notched a hat-trick in the 4-0 win over Newcastle and will be the main focus of their attack this week. We’re backing the Egyptian to get on the scoresheet in North London.
Nottingham Forest to beat Arsenal @ 3.91
A huge clash in the top four as two teams in precarious positions battle it out at the City Ground. Forest are embarking on an extremely tough run of fixtures that many are backing to put them outside of the top four. But Forest have surprised critics time and time again this season and will be hoping to do the same again. Arsenal begin the gauntlet which sees Forest additionally face City, Manchester United and Villa in their next five games.
The Gunners are not in their best form, without a striker and still reeling from a shock 1-0 defeat to West Ham at the weekend, so they will need to control a downward slide that threatens to affect their position. Due to the disarray at the London club of late, we think Forest have the firepower to nullify Arsenal.
Alexander Isak to score vs Liverpool @ 3.25
The big games really don’t stop this week! After a 2-0 victory over City, many are claiming the title race is over and Liverpool should make space for the trophy in their cabinet. But faced with a strong Newcastle side, their confidence could be shaken. It is also a good dress rehearsal for the Carabao Cup final in a few weeks time.
Liverpool have been dominant nearly every time they’ve taken to the pitch in league or cup, but they haven’t been invincible, which will give the Magpies confidence as they drive towards a Champions League spot. Their standout player this campaign has been Swedish Striker Alexander Isak, who has 19 goals so far with four in his last five. We think whatever the result, the Magpies No9 will get on the scoresheet.
