TopNaija’s Premier League Predictions For The Weekend

Bringing to our door step weekend football excitement comes the English Premier League fixtures as premier league teams get set to engage in hostilities for the rights to claim 3 points on Home or Away grounds.

Here is TopNaija, ready to give its predictions for what the outcomes from this matches could be, who will be the premier league weekend’s winners and biggest losers. Last weekend had Arsenal and Chelsea being the Premier League’s biggest losers, with Frank Lampard suffering a third consecutive defeat on return to Stamford Bridge as manager.

But who wins this weekend? That remains a debacle, but seeing as the hot chase is on the Gunners, Arsenal will have to do all they can to win this weekend else, they fall out of the title race should Manchester City again win the premier league weekend over Mikel Arteta’s team.

Here come our predictions for the weekend.

Arsenal20:00Southampton, we obviously are eagerly anticipating this fixture set to come to our screens later tonight at 8 pm. The weekend starts on Friday eve they say, and Arsenal can’t dictate this weekend’s excitement by how their game against the Saints at Saint Mary’s turn out.

Arsenal judging by the fact they will be playing in front of home crowds will have the advantage to see out a win and return to winning ways, hence we predict a 4-0 win to kick start the weekend games.

Saturday 22nd April

Fulham12:30Leeds United, begin hostilities at lunch time on Saturday with Leeds United looking to bounce back from their 1-6 defeat to Liverpool on Monday night. Who wins? We give it to none of the teams as we predict a 2-2 draw at Cravens Cottage.

Brentford15:00Aston Villa, Unai Emery’s team have been flying since, hitting at teams and stealing off points one way or the other. Can they do it again against a high in form Brentford? There is no writing off Unai Emery but premier league has a way of humbling teams flying on consecutive victories.

We predict a win for the Home team in what could turn out a 2-1 win for Brentford.

Crystal Palace15:00Everton, Palace are high in form and coming off the back of consecutive wins since the return of Roy Hodgson, Everton on the other hand are battling against relegation with Sean Dyche at the helm.

Crystal Palace have not had much difficulty scoring since Hodgson’s return but this could be the first game they may not register a goal against the opponent. We predict a 0-0 draw or a 0-1 win for the Toffees away from Merseyside.

Leicester City15:00Wolverhampton Wanderers, Wolves had their great win against Chelsea 2 weekends back, but with Leicester City currently battling poor form, Wolverhampton Wanderers might end up stealing points on the road at the Kings Power Stadium.

However, we can see a 2-2 dragged out score line or Wolves stealing 3 points at the last minute in a 2-3 win.

Liverpool15:00Nottingham Forest, this generally should be a game punters should be wary off considering Liverpool tend to slip up the next games after winning their previous opponents with a high flying scoreline.

Leeds United were the Reds’ last victims in a 1-6 mauling, so we see Liverpool struggling at Anfield in what could end up a 1-1 or 2-2 draw. However we do not rule out a 2-1 win as we see Liverpool struggling to defeat Nottingham Forest this weekend.

Manchester United vs. Chelsea should have settled the tides the evening of Saturday but the fixture has been postponed for this weekend for another date, so the banters will drop for both teams this weekend when it comes to bragging rights.

Sunday 23rd April

Bournemouth14:00West Ham United, West Ham are one side who noticeably dropped form this season compared to the last, and with the Hammers facing the drop, we could see a Bournemouth nailing West Ham to the hammer this weekend. We see a situation where AFC Bournemouth could run out 3-1 winners at home as they look to improve their premier league standings.

Newcastle United14:00Tottenham Hotspur, a clash for a place in Europe next season is what we have between Newcastle and Tottenham this weekend. Whatever result that comes from this game, Manchester United fans will hope it is at least a stalemate for both sides.

However, we see a situation where Newcastle United could hit Spurs with a 4-1 humiliating defeat at home.

Brighton and Hove Albion vs. Manchester City, this fixture has been postponed this weekend for another date, thus denying premier league fans a hint of the outcome of the title chase.
