Sunderland vs Brighton

Two well-matched teams both fairly safe mid-table. They drew their league clash in December 0-0 and neither have been hitting the net much.

Brighton have been goalless in 3 of their last 5 matches and have just 4 goals to show for their efforts. They have 2 wins and 3 defeats from those 5 matches.

Sunderland also have 4 goals from their last 5 matches, losing 2 and drawing twice. This looks like a low-scorer.

Burnley vs Bournemouth

Burnley need a rapid string of wins to fight their way out of the relegation zone. They’ve lost 3 of their last 5 matches, including the last 2 in a row.

Bournemouth are unbeaten in their last 5 matches, winning just once. They are also unbeaten on the road in their last 4. Burnley have lost their last 3 at home but have scored 11 times in their last 5, and with Bournemouth scoring 8 in their last 5 matches this should be a match full of goals.

Arsenal vs Everton

Arsenal’s record this season has been phenomenal, despite letting their lead on the Premier League slip. They have 3 wins in their last 5 matches, along with 2 draws. Everton have also won 3 of their last 5, but have suffered 2 defeats.

These are two tight defences, with just 7 goals in total in their last 5 meetings. Their last three clashes ended 0-0, 1-1 and 0-1.

Arsenal have won their last 5 matches at home, with their previous matches being a defeat to Man United (2-3) and a draw with Liverpool (0-0). Everton are unbeaten in their last 6 matches on the road, winning 4 and keeping 3 clean sheets. They have 5 clean sheets in their last 9 away matches, so this clash should be low on goals.

Chelsea vs Newcastle

Chelsea are in a battle for a Champions League spot but could miss out on any European competition if they don’t keep winning. Newcastle’s yo-yo season continues with 3 defeats and 2 wins in their last 5 league matches. Chelsea have also won twice in 5 in the Premier League, but have 2 draws and just 1 defeat on their books, that loss coming against Arsenal.

Newcastle beat Chelsea 2-0 twice last season, with the teams drawing 2-2 at Newcastle in their league meeting in December. Newcastle have been great in Europe, drawing 1-1 at home to Barcelona in their last match, while Chelsea were thumped 5-2 away to PSG.

Newcastle have won 3 of 5 on the road, losing twice to Man City, while Chelsea have 3 wins and 2 draws in their last 5 home matches. Their last 2 matches were draws against strugglers Leeds (2-2) and Burnley (1-1), so I see this as a draw with a handful of goals.

Verdict

English Premier League

Sunderland/Brighton to be short of goals, while Burnley/Bournemouth should be a goal feast. Strong defence to characterise Arsenal’s clash with Everton, while Chelsea to be held to a draw with Newcastle.
