Turning point in Arsene Wenger’s career

Arsenal 1 Man Utd 1

There is no hiding place for Arsene Wenger. His bedraggled Gunners side must put points on board, or kiss goodbye to Champions League football next season. Jose Mourinho’s Red Devils are masters at frustrating Arsenal. Though stretched by their Europa trip to Celta Vigo, United should have enough in the tank to extend their unbeaten record.
Swansea 2 Everton 2
Regardless of whether Paul Clement’s Swans avoid the axe or not, Gylfi Sigurdsson has proved his class as a player who should be featuring for a top side. Matter of fact, he comes up against one of his chief admirers in Everton boss Ronald Koeman. Goals galore as Swansea throw caution to the wind.
Man City 3 C. Palace 1
Pep Guardiola must start justifying his high billing as the world’s premier club football manager. Some tactical decisions in his time at City side have left a lot to be desired. That said, I fancy the moneybags to up the ante in their bid to seal their Champions League spot.
Chelsea 2 Boro 0
Despite a slight April blip, Chelsea are ticking all the boxes as far as showing title mettle is concerned. Their 3-0 victory over an on form Everton at Goodison Park was built on patient but devastatingly efficient play. Expect more of the same when Steve Agnew’s relegation bound Boro visit Stamford Bridge.
Liverpool 2 Southampton 1
Jurgen Klopp must use his legendary motivational skills to push his side closer towards Champions League qualification. There have been reports of unrest in Southampton’s camp. That should bode well for Liverpool’s push for a place in the top four. Daniel Sturridge’s return from injury is an added boon.
Leicester 1 Watford 0
Foxes boss Craig Shakespeare knows better than anyone else that 40 points may not be enough to ensure Premiership survival this season. I therefore fully expect the champions to come out all guns blazing to inflict maximum damage on Walter Mazzari’s Hornets. I am backing Jamie Vardy and Riyad Mahrez to shine.
Hull City 2 Sunderland 0
No one can openly claim to be surprised by Sunderland’s relegation. As early as last September, coach David Moyes, was tipping the Black Cats for the drop. Tigers are well poised to devour the Cats as they bid to seal safety.

West Ham Utd 1 Tottenham 1
All good things come to an end. No? Spurs have won nine games in a row but I think they will hit a brick wall when they make that short trip to London’s Olympic Stadium. The Hammers have been defending well since Slaven Bilic reverted to a 3-6-1 formation. This will be the pick of matches.
Bournemouth 2 Stoke 1

After a difficult start to 2017. Eddie Howe’s Cherries have rediscovered their oomph at just about the right time. Their revival has been built on better defending and the goal scoring prowess of Norwegian Joshua King. Stoke City do have their own big guns but I can only see one winner.

Burnley 1 West Brom 0

Tony Pulis’ Brummies have been in holiday mode for close to two months. Unless they jerk themselves out of their slumber, Burnley will make mashed potatoes of them this weekend. Sean Dyche’s battlers need one more victory to be completely sure of their safety and I fancy them to nick it tonight.
