Liverpool vs Norwich Preview:

Possible starting lineups:

Liverpool:
Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Matip, Van Dijk, Robertson; Henderson, Fabinho, Naby Keita; Salah, Firmino, Luis Diaz

Norwich:
Gunn; Aarons, Hanley, Gibson, Williams; Gilmour, Lees-Melou, McLean; Sargent, Pukki, Rashica

Liverpool are second on the table, but without realistic chance for the title. Manchester City are simply too good. The Reds are in excellent form, they have seven victories in a row across all competitions. Four of them were obtain in the Premier League. Liverpool managed to beat Brentford, Crystal Palace, Leicester City and Burnley. On Wednesday they beat 2:0 Inter Milan in the Champions League and took a huge step towards the quarter-finals. Klopp's men secured the victory thanks to late goals scored by Roberto Firmino and Mohamed Salah. The Brazilian netted a brilliant goal after Andrew Robertson's corner. Salah added a second with a deflected effort from inside the box which means Liverpool have a sizeable advantage ahead of the second leg at Anfield on 8 March. The Reds have scored from their only two attempts on target. It was a memorable night for midfielder Harvey Elliott, who became the youngest player ever to start a match in the competition for Liverpool at the age of 18 years and 318 days. Klopp has the majority of his players available, but Portugal forward Diogo Jota suffered an ankle injury.

Norwich City are on the 18th place with 17 points. However, the safe zone isn't far away as 17th-placed Newcastle have 21 points. The current form isn't bad. The Canaries have just one defeat on the last four matches in the Premier League. Even that defeat was somehow "expected" as the lost to the actual leaders Manchester City. Previously they beat Everton and Watford and shared the points with Crystal Palace. This match gives Norwich a chance to win back-to-back Premier League away games for the first time in more than a decade, Manager Dean Smith is doing a solid job and I believe the fans are satisfied. Despite the high defeat from Manchester City, Smith isn't expected to make lot of changes in the starting eleven. However, he has some injury concerns. Tim Krul and Jakob Sorensen are recovering from injuries, but this match is coming too soon for both. Andrew Omobamidele a slightly longer-term absentee. Three more players are rated as doubtful - Adam Idah, Lukas Rupp and the former Reds defender Ozan Kabak. The later will be very motivated, should he recover from illness in time.

Liverpool vs Norwich Prediction:

I expect both teams to score here. Liverpool are in excellent form and they won the last seven matches in all competitions The Reds will score, no doubt about that. The only question is about Norwich City, are they able to score? Well, I think so. Norwich are in the relegation zone, but they are solid at the moment. Scoring at Anfield is not a problem, the Canaries have netted in each of their last three visits to Anfield. I expect the series to continue.

Liverpool vs Norwich Pick: Both teams to score - Yes @ 2.36 with Pinnacle

Crystal Palace vs Chelsea Preview:

Possible starting lineups:

Crystal Palace:
Butland; Ward, Andersen, Guehi, Mitchell; Kouyate, Hughes, Schlupp; Ayew, Edouard, Zaha

Chelsea:
Mendy; Chalobah, Christensen, Rudiger; Azpilicueta, Jorginho, Kovacic, Alonso; Ziyech, Lukaku, Pulisic

Crystal Palace welcome the newly crowned World Champions Chelsea to Selhurst Park. Two managers are going into the game with different objectives - while only a victory is good enough for Tuchel, his counterpart Patrick Vieira will be satisfied even with one point. The Eagles are sitting on the 13th position before the weekend's fixtures kick off, with 26 points. They have won five, drawn 11 and lost eight matches in the Premier League. Their ambitions are not connect with Europa, so avoiding relegation could be their maximum this season. However, the actual form is poor, three draws and two defeats on the last five league matches. What is worse, the defeats came at home. The Eagles lost 3:2 to West Ham and lost 3:1 to Liverpool. As You could see, both matches were efficient. The atmosphere in the squad isn't at desired level and Vieira must find a way to restore the confidence. The Frenchman has some additional issues as some important players are unavailable. The top scorer Conor Gallagher is ineligible to play against his parent club and this is a big handicap. Nathan Ferguson is expected to be sidelined the next six weeks. On the positive note, Cheikhou Kouyate should be available again after returning from the Africa Cup of Nations.

Chelsea sit on the third position with 47 points. The league form isn't at highest level in the last period. They managed to register just one victory on the last five matches in the Premier League. Nevertheless, the atmosphere in the squad is excellent after they became the World Champions in Abu Dhabu. It was Kai Havertz in the focus again. The German striker, who scored the winner in the Champions League final last season, secured another trophy with a penalty late in extra time of their final against Palmeiras on Saturday, wrapping up a 2:1 win. This is the first piece of silverware for the Blues this season, and there could still be two more to come with an EFL Cup final against Liverpool at the end of this month, and a Champions League last-16 tie with Lille. I believe the players confidence is high at the moment. But Tuchel remain without some players - Reece James continues to recover from a hamstring injury and isn't expected to be risked here. Ben Chilwell remains sidelined with a long-term knee injury, while Mason Mount is also out after suffering an ankle injury in the Club World Cup final. Ruben Loftus-Cheek, who missed the trip to Abu Dhabi through injury, has recovered and could be in contention. Tuchel may have one eye on Tuesday's Champions League fixture with Lille, so some rotation is possible.

Crystal Palace vs Chelsea Prediction:

I expect both teams to score here. Chelsea will attack as they need the points from this match. But Crystal Palace know how to upset big names. Manchester City and Tottenham are between the Palace's victims this season, while Liverpool were lucky to receive a controversial penalty at Selhurst Park. Chelsea are big favorites, but I expect the Eagles to produce some problems to the favorites.

Crystal Palace vs Chelsea Pick: Both teams to score - Yes @ 2.00 with William Hill

Leeds United vs Manchester United Preview:

Possible starting lineups:

Leeds United:
Meslier; Ayling, Llorente, Struijk, Firpo; Forshaw, Koch; Harrison, Rodrigo, Raphinha; James

Manchester United:
De Gea; Dalot, Varane, Maguire, Shaw; Fernandes, McTominay, Pogba; Rashford, Ronaldo, Sancho

Leeds United welcome Manchester United to Elland Road in the most interesting clash this Sunday. The Whites sit on the 15th place, six points clear of the relegation zone. The actual form is poor, two defeats and just one draw on the last three matches in the Premier League. Leeds played an 1:1 draw with Aston Villa, while suffered defeats from Newcastle and Everton. The defeat at Goodison Park was high and painful. Marcelo Bielsa's men now have three difficult league fixtures against Manchester United, Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur, and they could additionally complicate the matters. What is worse, they have struggled at home this season, picking up just 13 points from 11 matches. The current home form is poor, Leeds have won just one of the last four league fixtures at Elland Road. Bielsa has some additional issues as Kalvin Phillips, Liam Cooper, Leo Hjelde, Patrick Bamford and Sam Greenwood remain sidelined, while Stuart Dallas is rated as doubtful. Junior Firpo has recovered from a thigh injury and he is pushing for a place in the starting eleven. The former Man United striker Daniel James will be particularly motivated against his old club.

Manchester United are fourth on the table with 43 points and they will try to remain there. The fans should be satisfy with the fact their club sit inside the Champions League zone. The Red Devils are in solid form in the last period. They have no defeat on the last six games in the Premier League, but managed to win only a half of them. In the last round they beat Brighton with 2:0 at Old Trafford. It was an all-Portuguese show after Cristiano Ronaldo and Bruno Fernandes scored the goals and secured three important points. But now the most important is to register a back-to-back wins. The away form is solid, they have not lost on road in the Premier League since the 4:1 defeat at Watford on November 20, which saw Ole Gunnar Solskjaer lose his job as manager. Winning here is a top priority for the interim coach Ralf Rangnick, despite the upcoming fixture with Atletico Madrid in the Champions League. Most of the players are ready, but Edinson Cavani is unavailable due to a groin injury. Mason Greenwood remain suspended, while Nemanja Matic, Raphael Varane and Eric Bailly could make the squad following recent injuries. Rangnick could make few changes from the side that started against the Seagulls, with Paul Pogba and Marcus Rashford looking for starting place.

Leeds United vs Manchester United Prediction:

Manchester United are closer to the victory here. The players confidence is surely high after the last victory against Brighton. Leeds are in poor form, two defeats and just one draw on the last three matches in the Premier League. Leeds are not at last season's level and I expect to continue struggling.

Wolverhampton vs Leicester City Preview:

Possible starting lineups:

Wolverhampton:
Sa; Kilman, Coady, Saiss; Semedo, Dendoncker, Moutinho, Neves, Ait-Nouri; Jimenez, Podence

Leicester City:
Schmeichel; Pereira, Amartey, Vestergaard, Thomas; Tielemans, Ndidi; Lookman, Dewsbury-Hall, Barnes; Daka

Wolverhampton welcome Leicester City to the Molineux on Sunday afternoon. The Wanderers are fighting for a Champions League spot. They are seventh with 37 points and three points from this match are very important. The actual form is very good, they have four victories on the last five matches in the Premier League. Last weekend they beat 2:0 Tottenham as guests. Raul Jimenez opened the result after just six minutes, while Leander Dendoncker doubled the lead in the 18th minute. Bruno Lage's men didn't stop after taking the lead, testing Lloris on a number of further occasions. The atmosphere in the squad is excellent, while the players confidence is high. But the home form isn't at desired level - Wolverhampton have only the 15th-best home record in the Premier League. The Wanderers have scored just eight goals at Molineux in the league this season. Head coach Bruno Lage has a fully-fit squad to chose from, including the recovered Pedro Neto and Joao Moutinho. The latter is expected to start in the midfield alongside Ruben Neves and Dendoncker.

Leicester City are in the middle of the table, sharing the 11th place with Aston Villa. Both teams have 27 points, but the Foxes have three matches in hand as their games with Norwich, Everton and Burnley were called off due to a COVID-19 outbreak. The actual form isn't at desired level, they have no win on the last four matches. The Foxes lost 3:2 to Tottenham and 2:0 to Liverpool, while shared the points with Brighton and West Ham. I am sure the players confidence isn't high like previously. However, they will enter this match off the back of a positive result, having recorded a 4:1 win against Randers in the first leg of their Europa Conference League knockout round playoff clash on Thursday. Four goals were scored by four different players - Ndidi, Barnes, Daka and Dewsbury-Hall. But Leicester paid high prize as James Maddison and Caglar Soyuncu suffered injuries and had to be substituted. The pair is unlikely to play here and their absence is a big handicap for Rodgers. The Irishman still has a long list of absentees that includes Timothy Castagne, Wesley Fofana, James Justin, Ryan Bertrand, Jamie Vardy and Jonny Evans. The absence of Soyuncu and Evans is a big problem for Rodgers and he is forced to improvise in the heart of the defense. As a result, Jannik Vestergaard could feature alongside Daniel Amartey on that positions.

Wolverhampton vs Leicester City Prediction:

Wolverhampton have four victories on the last five matches in the Premier League. But the home form isn't at desired level, they have scored just eight goals on the 11 matches played at Molineux this season. The Foxes are far from their best, but the atmosphere in the squad is much better after the victory over Randers in Europe. I expect Leicester City to remain unbeaten here.

Man Utd to crash again.

Man Utd to crash again.

Pick:
Manchester United over 1,5 goals @ 1,61

because I won't be surprised if it's going to be 2-2 or even 3-2 for Leeds

I somehow believe Leeds is ideal opponent for Manchester United but I just can't go with a straight win for United, watching their funny defensive skills week after week.

Man Utd to crash again.

okay, I feel now it's time for your post...

so:

In-play pick (HT), lower stake:
Race to 5 corners: Leeds @ 4,50

Half time corners: Leeds 0-2 MU

 

[qpLucas]

well I really didn't believe it will be 2-2 in a few minutes... now the corners bet has no value as we can expect United to push now...

Anyway, good one @BgFutbol

Easy. A total of six goals scored. Everyone is surprised from Man Utd.
