Premier League Predictions: Man City to falter again?

Nick nailed two correct scores in the last round of Premier League fixtures to extend his lead in the table. Myself and Simon had another disappointing week, so there is much to improve this weekend.

Check out our selections for Gameweek 30 below.

Burnley 1-2 Bournemouth @ 7/1

Back-to-back defeats have made survival all the more tricky for Burnley, who are nine points clear of safety. The Clarets host AFC Bournemouth at Turf Moor on Saturday.

The Cherries have drawn four of their past four matches in the top flight but I think they should have enough quality in the final third to snatch three points in Lancashire.

Nick: 1-3

Simon: 2-2

Sunderland 2-1 Brighton @ 10/1

Sunderland picked up a valuable victory at Leeds United last week and they will look to build on that when Brighton & Hove Albion head to the Stadium of Light. The Seagulls have suffered two defeats from their previous three away trips in the Premier League, so this will be seen as a good opportunity for Sunderland.

Following their FA Cup exit at the hands of League 1 outfit Port Vale, Sunderland need to respond.

Nick: 2-1

Simon: 2-2

Premier League Odds

Arsenal 2-0 Everton @ 11/2

Following Manchester City's surprising draw against Nottingham Forest, Arsenal have regained a seven-point lead at the top of the table. The Gunners have a very important two months ahead of them as they are still fighting in four competitions.

They entertain Everton at the Emirates in the league on Saturday and they need to make the most of the home advantage.

Nick: 2-1

Simon: 2-0

Chelsea 3-2 Newcastle @ 16/1

Chelsea had a very good evening at Aston Villa last week with a 4-1 victory. The Blues will hope for a similar display against Newcastle United on Saturday. The Magpies were 2-1 winners over in-form Manchester United in their most recent league outing.

Chelsea have had an issue with consistency this term but I think they have more than enough options in the final third to win this clash.

Nick: 4-4

Simon: 2-1

West Ham 1-1 Man City @ 15/2

Having seen fellow strugglers Forest hold City to a point, West Ham United will feel that they can trouble Pep Guardiola's side. West Ham have lost just one of their past five fixtures in the Premier League and so they will be feeling confident ahead of this home encounter.

Nick: 1-3

Simon: 0-2

Palace 2-1 Leeds @ 17/2

Crystal Palace inflicted more misery on Tottenham Hotspur last week to move themselves 10 points clear of the relegation zone. The Eagles return to Selhurst Park on Sunday to face Leeds, who are winless in their past four league games.

Palace will be spurred on by last week's performance, so I am expecting them to prevail on home turf.

Nick: 1-1

Simon: 0-2

Man United 3-1 Villa @ 12/1

Michael Carrick suffered his first defeat of this Man United interim head coach stint last week at Newcastle and he will look for a response when the Red Devils host Villa at Old Trafford.

The visitors are on a two-game losing streak in the Premier League having suffered defeats against Wolves and Chelsea. Unai Emery's side have been falling by their high standards for several weeks and it is jeopardising their chances of a top-five finish.

I think they will be in for another disappointing result as they are taking on a United side that has been revitalised since Carrick's arrival.

Nick: 3-2

Simon: 2-1

Today's Football Fixtures

Forest 2-2 Fulham @ 12/1

After pinching a point against Man City, Forest should be feeling good about their clash with Fulham at the City Ground on Sunday. Both these sides have suffered three defeats from their last five matches in the league and so I think the draw looks likely.

Nick: 2-1

Simon: 0-2

Liverpool 3-1 Spurs @ 10/1

Tottenham Hotspur are spiralling towards relegation. I don't think they have the characters for the fight they are in, as their five-game losing streak in the top flight shows.

They head to Anfield to play Liverpool on Sunday and this could be another pitiful afternoon for the north London outfit.

Nick: 4-2

Simon: 1-0

Football Odds

Brentford 2-1 Wolves @ 7/1

Victories against Villa and Liverpool may have given even the most pessimistic of Wolves fans a glimmer of hope for a great escape. The Old Gold are 12 points adrift of safety but their performances have been improving since Rob Edwards arrived at the club.

Wolves head to west London to face Brentford on Monday and the Bees have won seven of their 14 home games in the league this campaign. Wolves are still yet to win on their travels, so another loss looks in store here.

Nick: 3-1

Simon: 2-2
