Newcastle to beat Nottingham Forest
Sheffield United to beat Luton
Burnley vs Liverpool: Both teams to score
Newcastle United vs Nottingham Forest
Despite struggling on their travels, Eddie Howe’s Newcastle have won their last seven Premier League games at St James’ Park.
Nuno’s first game in charge of Nottingham Forest as they threw away a second-half lead, Willy Boly was sent off and Dominic Solanke scored a 94th-minute winner.
Newcastle’s injury list is still rather long but key players like Sven Botman and Alexander Isak have returned, and they can field a strong enough XI to beat Forest.
Bournemouth vs Fulham
Fulham recorded back-to-back 5-0 wins in December and came within minutes of a 3-2 win at Anfield, but Bournemouth have been the biggest surprise package.
Andoni Iraola’s side are flying and have claimed 16 points from a possible 18 since a 6-1 loss to Man City on November 11.
Marco Silva’s side are winless in eight on their travels and they’ve lost each of the last three. So long as Bournemouth are winning and playing with confidence, they’re worth backing.
Sheffield United vs Luton
The numbers will tell you that Chris Wilder has made Sheffield United a harder team to beat. Visitors Luton are no mugs, but they are beatable.
Rob Edwards’ team have lost seven of nine away games in all competitions and they may just let themselves down after such a big win over Newcastle.
The Blades have won seven of their nine points at home and everyone involved will recognise the importance of winning this one.
Burnley vs Liverpool
Burnley will feel good about themselves after their 2-0 win at Fulham on Saturday. The Clarets are unbeaten in three of five.
They’ve scored eight goals across those matches and although they failed to score in two defeats, they’ll be growing in confidence that they can compete.
Liverpool will be desperate to win this after drawing with Arsenal, but they find ways to concede away from home. They’ve conceded in eight of nine on their travels.
Man Utd vs Aston Villa
It’s worth backing any top team to beat Man Utd. Erik ten Hag’s side showed no signs of improvement against West Ham. The loss was littered with poor decision-making.
There’s a complete disconnect between the attackers and no obvious game plan. The fear factor died a long time ago and Old Trafford has become a comfortable place to play.
Aston Villa have performed well against the big clubs and they’ll be keen to bounce back after missing a golden opportunity.
