Aston Villa vs Nottingham
Villa are a team on fire, sitting in third place just two points behind Man City and six behind leaders Arsenal. Forest are one place off the relegation places and are on a three-match losing streak during which they scored one goal.
Villa had won 11 matches on the bounce before going down 4-1 away to Arsenal. They have also won 18 and drawn one of their last 20 home games, including winning their last 10 home games. Forest have won just three of their last 10 matches on the road, although they did beat Liverpool 3-0 at Anfield.
Brighton vs Burnley
Burnley are losing ground to 17th-placed Forest and need a win desperately to keep their hopes alive of staying in the Premier League next season. Brighton have an 11-point gap over the drop zone, but they won’t be taking it easy with so much at stake.
Burnley have lost nine, drawn one and won one of their last 11 games on the road. Brighton are tough to break down at home, losing just one of their last 16 home games, which was against high-flying Aston Villa. I don’t hold out any hope for Burnley in this clash.
Wolves vs West Ham
Third from the bottom West Ham play bottom side Wolves at the halfway stage of the season. Wolves have just three points from their 19 matches and are likely working on their budget spending for the Championship for next season. West Ham are four points behind Forest so they have plenty to play for.
Wolves had lost 12 matches in a row before a dramatic 1-1 draw at Old Trafford on 30 December. West Ham haven’t won in their last eight matches, losing four and drawing four, including three defeats in a row before their draw with Man United. West Ham’s form is also poor, so I’m inclined to go for a score-draw.
Bournemouth vs Arsenal
Bournemouth are down in 15th place and will not be looking forward to hosting the League leaders. Arsenal have a 37:12 goal spread, while Bournemouth are on 29:35. Bournemouth did the double over Arsenal last season, but I wouldn’t read too much into that based on this season's form book.
Arsenal have lost just one of their last 25 matches winning 22, while Bournemouth have lost five and drawn five of their last 10.
Verdict
Villa to continue winning at home, while Brighton to gain three vital points.
Wolves to draw with West Ham, and Arsenal to keep a clean sheet against Bournemouth.
Wolves to draw with West Ham, and Arsenal to keep a clean sheet against Bournemouth.
