Brighton vs Liverpool

After a barren stretch of six matches without a win, Brighton have picked up three wins in their last four matches. They also ran League leaders Arsenal close, losing 1-0 at home. Liverpool won four on the bounce before picking up two defeats in their last five matches.

On the road Liverpool have lost just three of their last 13 matches, while Brighton have won just two of their last nine matches at home. With Liverpool fighting for a Champions League spot and Brighton relaxed mid-table, I’m backing a flurry of goals.

The last five matches between the two sides at the Amex Stadium have yielded 3-3-4-5-5 total match goals, so I’m backing goals to flow again.

Fulham vs Burnley

Fulham look safe in 11th place, while Burnley are buried in the relegation zone, needing three wins to sniff safety. It doesn’t look good for Burnley travelling to Craven Cottage: Burnley have just one win in 10 matches while Fulham have four.

Fulham were going well at home with four wins and a draw in five games. They then lost three of their next four matches, with goalless defeats in their last two matches. Burnley have six defeats and one victory in their last 10 matches on the road, but their last three matches have ended W-D-L, so I think they have the form to earn a draw at struggling Fulham.

Everton vs Chelsea

Everton have an outside chance of a Champions League spot still, while Chelsea are one point off securing their own Champions League place. Everton will hope home-ground advantage pays off against a Chelsea team that has lost their last three matches while conceding nine goals.

Everton have won two of their last three matches, scoring five goals. Chelsea have won three of their last five on the road, scoring 15 goals. Everton have lost three of their last five, scoring just five times. It looks ripe for Chelsea to bounce back with a strong win.

Leeds vs Brentford

Brentford are four points off a spot in Europe while Leeds are just three points above the drop zone. Neither team has been in great form in their last five matches, and Leeds have also struggled at home, losing three of their last five home matches.

Brentford are justifying their spot high in the table after winning five of their last seven Premier League matches on the road, with 14 goals under their belt. Leeds have also gone goalless in three of their last Premier League matches, so this should be a romp for Brentford.

Verdict

English Premier League

Brighton and Liverpool to thrill the crowd with goals, it’s a low-scoring draw between Fulham and Burnley, Chelsea to bounce back to victory, while Brentford to pick up a key win for their European hopes.
