The Premier League heads into Game Week 33 with one point separating Arsenal, Liverpool and Man City in the total chase.
The action gets underway on Saturday night with an intriguing matchup between Newcastle and Tottenham.
Our Offside Oracle has previewed all 10 Premier League fixtures and provided his best bets below!
The Toon host the Spurs in what should be nothing short of a thrilling contest.
Tottenham are currently sitting in 4th place on the league table, ahead of Aston Villa on goal difference alone.
Newcastle are a further 13 points adrift of the top four in 8th place, with injuries continuing to plague their season.
The Spurs won the reverse fixture 4-1, and with Newcastle’s defensive struggles and lack of personal, I’m backing a similar result to transpire here.
The pressure is on Notts Forest, as they look to establish some breathing space between themselves and the drop zone.
Alternatively, Wolverhampton are looking to break a three match winless streak (1D,2L) and move back into the top half of the league table.
The last two fixtures between this pair finished 1-1, and I’m backing the three-peat.
The Bee host the Blades in a match between two sides struggling for form.
Brentford are nine games without a win (4D,3L), and have drawn their last three EPL fixtures.
Meanwhile, Sheffield United have won once across their last ten league games (3D,6L).
The Blades hold the worst record on the road this season, winning one of 15 away games (3D,11L).
I’m backing the Bees to buzz back to life with a much needed win at home.
Man City look to climb atop of the league, be it momentarily, with a win over relegation threatened Luton Town.
The Hatters have lost all five away games they’ve played against top six sides this seasons and are yet to win on the road in 2024 (3D,4L).
Man City are unbeaten at home in the league since November 2022 (21W,6D), and are looking to go 17 games without H&A defeat.
I’m backing the Sky Blues to take all three coipition points and give their goal difference a health boost at the same time.
Burnley host Brighton in a must win contest for the Clarets, who are seven points from safety, with six games remaining.
The Seagulls have lost four of their last five away games across all comps (1D), with their only PL road victory in 2024 coming against Sheffield United (2D,4L).
Meanwhile, Burnley has played six league fixtures at Turf Moore in ’24, claiming points in four of those games (1W,3D,2L).
I’m backing Burnley to spring an upset on their home deck.
The Cherries host the Red Devils in a mid-table showdown.
Bournemouth are bidding to win their fourth straight win at home, seeing off Luton, Everton and Crystal Palace.
Alternatively, Man U are winless on the road across their last three, most recently throwing away a late lead at Stamford Bridge.
Both teams have scored in Man U’s last four fixtures across all comps, same can be said for four of Bournemouth’s last five games.
I’m backing both sides to get on the scoresheet, combined with over 3.5 total goals.
Fulham hope to break a poor spell of form when they take on the Hammers in a London Derby.
West Ham are ticking along nicely, losing one of their previous seven league outings (3W,3D).
Alternatively, the Cottagers are winless in three (1D,2L), dropping points to the likes of Sheffield United and Nottingham Forest.
On current form the Hammers should stroll to a home victory at the expense of their neighbours.
The Reds look to bounce back from a disappointing result against Man U when they welcome Crystal Palace to Anfield.
A win here will restore Liverpools position atop of the league table, be it until the Gunners play some hours later.
The Reds have won 10 of 11 homes games across all comps in 2024 (1D), only dropping points to Man City.
Meanwhile, the Eagles’ have failed to win a competitive fixture this calendar year (2D,5L).
I have the Reds winning big here.
The Gunners destiny is in there own hands as they bid to win their first PL title in 20 years!
Arsenal have won 12 for 15 home games this season (2D,1L) and are gunning for their sixth straight victory.
Meanwhile, Villa are winless in their last three away games across all comps and have been bettered on their last two trips to the Emirates.
Aston Villa has scored in their last four away fixtures against Arsenal, I’m backing them to do so again here, but, to no avail.
Game Week 33 wraps up at Stamford Bridge when the Blues host the Toffees.
Chelsea are building momentum heading into the tail end of the season, going undefeated across their last seven PL fixtures (3W,4L).
Alternatively, Everton’s win against Burnley last weekend, was their first league victory in 14 games (6D,7L).
I’m backing the Blues to claim the W at home combined with over 1.5 total goals.
