Premier League predictionsSaturday, 14 March
I keep in mind going for a 2-0 Bournemouth win when these two sides met earlier than Christmas.
Commercial
Bournemouth went 1-0 up, so I assumed I used to be on to attain 40 factors after I heard there had been one other purpose late on, but it surely turned out to be a Burnley equaliser.
That is the best way my season has been going with predictions, however I’m really going to go for one more Cherries win, and by the identical scoreline too.
I have been saying for some time that Burnley have gotten an excessive amount of to do to remain up, and it positively is not taking place now.

I used to be actually upset by Sunderland’s defeat at Port Vale within the FA Cup, and never simply because that was one other prediction I bought mistaken.
It felt like an absolute gimme for Regis le Bris’ aspect, and I wished to see them have a good cup run.
They’ve nonetheless had an amazing season they usually have already hit 40 factors so they are going to be completely superb when it comes to staying up.

However they are going to nonetheless wish to end the season strongly, and meaning they should get their residence kind going once more – after staying unbeaten there for therefore lengthy, they’ve misplaced the previous two on the Stadium of Mild.
Brighton hit a sticky patch too across the flip of the yr however that they had picked up once more with wins over Brentford and Nottingham Forest earlier than narrowly dropping out to Arsenal final outing.
The Seagulls can reel Sunderland in and transfer above them within the desk with a win however I do not suppose they are going to get one. As a substitute, I’m going for a draw.
Sutton’s prediction: 1-1
Indignant Ginge’s prediction: That is at Sunderland, so I’m going with them to win. 2-1
Commercial
AI’s prediction: 1-2
Arsenal bought away with a poor efficiency towards Bayer Leverkusen on Wednesday due to Kai Havertz’s late penalty towards his former membership.
There’s an opportunity that fatigue kicks in for them right here but it surely should not do, as a result of they have such nice depth of their squad.
It was fairly a good affair when these two sides met in December, however Arsenal nicked the factors on the Hill Dickinson Stadium and I’m anticipating the identical to occur this time too.

AI’s prediction: 3-0
Chelsea’s current document towards Newcastle at Stamford Bridge is absolutely good – they’ve gained 11 of their 12 league video games there since 2012, and drew the opposite one.
I simply marvel how deflated Liam Rosenior’s aspect can be after being pumped in Paris on Wednesday night time – Paris St-Germain’s fifth purpose felt like an actual hammer blow.
Commercial
This recreation completed 2-2 earlier within the season when Nick Woltemade put Newcastle 2-0 up earlier than Chelsea fought again within the second half.
Newcastle can be hoping Anthony Gordon is again at 100% after his sickness that meant he was solely a substitute towards Barcelona on Tuesday.
However even when Gordon does begin, I’m nonetheless fairly assured Chelsea will win this one.

Manchester Metropolis haven’t misplaced to West Ham within the league since 2015 however this can be a check for them.
The Hammers are determined for factors, whereas Metropolis melted in Madrid in midweek. From 3-0 down, I am unable to see them turning that tie round on Tuesday.
Commercial
It is a large few weeks for Pep Guardiola’s aspect, who have gotten Arsenal within the Carabao Cup remaining, Liverpool within the FA Cup quarter-finals and are clinging on in Europe.
In the intervening time the Quadruple remains to be on for Metropolis however in the mean time you’d say they’re way more more likely to find yourself with a trophyless season than they’re to win all 4.
West Ham shocked me by beating Fulham of their final league recreation however I’m nonetheless not satisfied by them at residence.

AI’s prediction: 1-1
That is third versus fourth, and it feels large for each groups’ seasons.
It will be important for Michael Carrick that he will get again on monitor after struggling his first defeat as United supervisor, to 10-man Newcastle.
The wheels have come off for Aston Villa in a giant manner and Unai Emery was clearly proper when he was so destructive about his aspect’s title hopes.
It is laborious to make a case for Villa as a result of they give the impression of being actually flat. They began the season poorly, and it appears to be like like they’re going to end it poorly too.

Sutton’s prediction: 2-1
Indignant Ginge’s prediction: What a recreation that is going to be – that is large within the race for the highest 4. It is at Outdated Trafford as nicely, so United are going to win.

Indignant Ginge on United’s hopes of creating the Champions League locations: To be trustworthy, even beneath Ruben Amorim, I assumed we have been going to get prime 4. Seeing us hit the heights now we have hit now beneath Carrick simply makes me much more assured – requirements are up, the gamers are up, morale is up. We aren’t untouchable, however whoever performs us must be on their recreation to beat us.
Indignant Ginge on whether or not Carrick ought to keep in cost past the tip of the season: You’ll be able to see what Carrick is doing, he’s taking part in to the gamers’ strengths, not simply attempting to do his personal cussed factor. I maintain my palms up, I used to be ‘Ruben in’ as a result of I assumed we have been getting behind a course of – we paid round £10m to get him from Sporting and Sir Jim [Ratcliffe] got here out and mentioned he wanted to be there for 3 years, so I assumed ‘okay, we are going to get behind him’.
Commercial
However virtually instantly Carrick is available in and issues are higher. I have a look at myself now and suppose ‘why was I even settling for that?’ We’ve bought to present Carrick the job completely. The outcomes are there, the morale is there. He’s 100% the suitable man.

He has taken over a troublesome state of affairs however he has gone about issues in a really odd manner.
Commercial
It is perhaps the executed factor in Croatia or Italy to enter a membership and inform the gamers some truths and say they’re garbage, however it’s one factor doing it behind closed doorways, and one other to do it publicly.
There simply appears to be so many issues mistaken at Spurs. They sacked Thomas Frank, pondering they have been going to get this short-term repair from Tudor, however they have a man who has had a short-term shocker.
Liverpool are removed from convincing both, thoughts you. It isn’t unattainable that Spurs scramble a win right here as a result of Arne Slot’s aspect have been awful in Turkey on Tuesday.
Slot has bought the second leg towards Galatasaray to consider, and they’re going to make modifications, however they certainly cannot lose to Tottenham, can they?
