We’re forced to wait little over 36 hours between the final whistle of Game Week 13 to the kick off of Game Week 14 of the Premier League.
The round gets underway in the capital, as Liverpool look to extend their lead at the top of the table when they travel to Selhurst Park.
Elsewhere, Everton attempt to win their third straight fixture when they welcome Arsenal to Goodison Park, Tottenham hope to bounce back from defeat when they take on the Foxes and Chelsea host the Hammers in an East London Derby.
We’ve previewed all 10 Game Week 14 fixtures and provided our best betting plays below!
Liverpool finished GW13 three points clear on top of the league, Klopp’s side just keep finding ways to win despite the sad state of their squad.
The Eagles have gone three games without defeat, but have their work cut out for themselves here.
Four of the last five matches between this pair has seen over 2.5 goals, with the Reds winning each of those contests.
I’m backing the Champions the blow Palace out of the water here, with a clinical offensive display.
Southampton have only lost once across their last 11 league starts, though they’ll be disappointed to only come away with a point against a 10 man Gunners outfit last time out.
We’re already a third of the way through the season and City are sitting in the unfamiliar position of 8th on the league table, though a win here could leave them within a point of the top four.
Form is temporary, while class is permanent, and with the return of Sergio Aguero to their ranks I’ll be tipping the Sky Blues to take control of this game early.
Everton come into this fixture off the back of two straight victories over top 6 opponents in Chelsea and Leicester.
Alternatively, the Gunners claimed just their 2nd point across their past six outings!
Everton’s defence is starting to click, keeping both the 2nd and 4th highest scoring teams to nil in recent fixtures, which bodes well for the matchup against the misfiring Gunners.
Arsenal will be without their best performer this season, with centre half Gabriel seeing red against the Saints on Thursday morning.
The Gunners are a genuine bottom 6 side, and it’s about time we started treating them as such.
Everton to win.
Fulham travel to St. James’ Park in the search for their first win in four matches.
Meanwhile, the Toons will be hungry to bounce back from a 5-2 humbling at the hands of Leeds United.
Eight of the last 11 fixtures between this pair have been won by the home side, I’m happy to back against the visitors again with not much separating the two in regards to form.
Tip: Turn the TV off and spend 90 minutes with your family.
Brighton are winless in their last four league fixtures, scoring just twice across that trip.
While, Sheffield are winless for the season, managing to find the net on five occasions (12 GP).
The last two fixtures between this pair finished with under 2.5 goals and I can’t see the onion bag bulging more than twice here.
2nd plays 4th, as Tottenham and Leicester bid to bounce back following defeat in GW13.
Both the Spurs and the Foxes have looked most comfortable when playing off the counter this season, so it will be interesting to see who takes up the possession in this one.
Tottenham almost executed Mourinho’s game plan to perfection against the defending champs, with Kane and Bergwijn spooning massive opportunities to kill the game off, before the Reds eventually secured the points late.
Jose has his squad hungrier than ever for success this season and I can’t see them dropping two matches on the trot.
Leeds come into this fixture off the back of a big 5-2 result against a lacklustre Toons outfit, with five different players getting their name on the scoresheet.
High scoring fixtures has been the common theme between this pair, with five of Man U’s last six matches across all comps featuring more than 3.5 goals (at time of publish), while five of Leeds last eight have done the same.
I’m expecting the gloves to come off in this contest, with both keepers set to have their hands full.
West Brom surprised everybody in GW13 when they pinched a point off Manchester City, then proceeded to sack Slaven Bilić for his efforts.
Following a brief slump in form, Villa showed a ton of class in their 1-0 victory away to Wolverhampton, Dean Smith has a squad he trusts and it’s starting to show on the field.
I believe the Baggies will come into this fixture both physically and mentally fatigued following their mammoth effort against the Citizens, providing Villa the perfect opportunity to edge their way back up the table.
Burnley have been playing like a league two side this season, can’t score, can’t defend, can’t be backed.
Alternatively, just when you think the Wolves are down and out they find another gear.
Nuno’s side sent Chelsea packing in Game Week 13 and shouldn’t be troubled by the shambolic Clarets.
Chelsea suffered back-to-back defeats for the first time this season and will be under immense pressure to secure a result in the East London derby.
West Ham have enjoyed this fixture in the past, losing just once to their London rivals across their last six meetings (3W, 2D).
The Hammers have stolen points off Leicester, Tottenham, City and Wolverhampton this season and have every right to take at least one point home here.
