Burnley at home and they look better than in 21 to be fair, Weghorst seems as a good addition to the squad...
Leicester with weak defense this season, but they're also capable of scoring goals, guaranteed by many high quality offensive players.

Their H2H is a good signal for our bets. Both teams scored in their last 6 meetings and also over 2,5g is 5-1 in their last 6.

Over 2,5 goals @ 1,98 (marathonbet)
BTTS @ 1,75 (bet365)

Burnley vs Leicester City Preview:

Possible starting lineups:

Burnley:
Pope; Roberts, Tarkowski, Mee, Taylor; Lennon, Westwood, Brownhill, McNeil; Weghorst, Cornet

Leicester City:
Schmeichel; Pereira, Amartey, Soyuncu, Thomas; Ndidi, Tielemans; Lookman, Maddison, Barnes; Daka

Burnley welcome Leicester City to Turf Moor in the only midweek match of the Premier League. The Clarets are third from the bottom with only 21 points and the situation is still very complicated. But it seems they are improving. Manager Sean Dyche has found a way to motivate his players and the safety looks much closer now. Burnley are one point away from the 17th-placed Everton. In addition, Burnley have games in hand on Leeds United, Watford and Norwich, so the situation could change easily. The departure of Chris Wood was a big problem, but newly arrived Wout Weghorst is becoming better and better. The Clarets are in excellent form, they have two victories and one draw on the last three matches in the Premier League. Dyche's men managed to beat Brighton and Tottenham, while shared the points with Crystal Palace. The hosts have no new injury issues, but Johann Berg Gudmundsson remain out. Striker Matej Vydra is back in training following his hernia operation, but this game come too soon for him. Charlie Taylor and Maxwel Cornet have both recovered and were on the bench at Selhurst Park.

Leicester City have 27 points and the European spots look far away. Nevertheless, they have three matches in hand as their games with Norwich City, Everton and Burnley were called off due to a COVID-19 outbreak. So, three matches could bring nine points and the situation will be quite different. The actual league form isn't at desired level, they have no win on the last four matches. The Foxes lost to Tottenham and Liverpool, while shared the points with Brighton and West Ham. However, they were successful in Europa. I am sure the players confidence isn't high like previously, but they will enter this match off the back of a positive result, having recorded two wins against Danish side Randers in the Europa Conference League. Ndidi, Barnes, Daka and Dewsbury-Hall secured a 4:1 win at King Power Stadium, while Barnes and Maddison's brace were enough for a 3:1 win in Denmark. Rodgers still has a long list of absentees that includes Timothy Castagne, Wesley Fofana, Ryan Bertrand and Jonny Evans. In addition, Jamie Vardy and James Justin are rated as doubtful.

Burnley vs Leicester City Prediction:

Almost a year ago (03.03.2021) Burnley host Leicester at Turf Moor. The match finished with an 1:1 draw. I think this could be another tight and low scoring match. Burnley have improved the form, they have two wins and one draw on the last three matches in the Premier League. However, the quality is on Leicester side, no doubt about that. I see no more than two goals in this match.

Burnley vs Leicester City Pick: Under 2.5 goals @ 1.93 with Bet365
 
Burnley will win. EPL is entering this moment of season, when teams battling to avoid relegation are starting to play more aggressive and with more eager. They became more unpredictable. To that we can add, Foxes defense problems and high number of injured players. I think they will be more focused to their Europa presence, Because they cannot challenge for more. In other hand Burnley are strong defending team and their possitive plays recently. And Weghorst is really fitting and EPL and we can see he is dangerous player.
 
I agree Burnley are closer to the victory, mostly because of the current form and the home advantage. But Leicester shouldn't be underestimated.

Liverpool vs West Ham Preview:

Possible starting lineups:

Liverpool:
Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Matip, Van Dijk, Robertson; Elliott, Fabinho, Keita; Salah, Mane, Diaz

West Ham:
Fabianski; Johnson, Dawson, Zouma, Cresswell; Rice, Soucek; Bowen, Lanzini, Fornals; Antonio

Liverpool welcome top-four challengers West Ham United to Anfield on Saturday. The Reds are in excellent form as they won the last six Premier League matches. Jurgen Klopp's men managed to beat Brentford, Crystal Palace, Leicester City, Burnley, Norwich and Leeds and came just three points to the league leaders Manchester City. They were also successful in the domestic cup competitions last week. Liverpool lifted the trophy in Carabao Cup on Sunday. It was a memorable night with 120 minutes of action at Wembley that ended with penalty roulette in which Liverpool won the record-breaking ninth EFL Cup title. The Reds also advanced to the quarter-finals of the FA Cup with a 2:1 win over Norwich City on Wednesday night. Both goals were scored by Japanese striker Takumi Minamino who's excellent form give more options to Klopp in situation when Firmino is sidelined through a muscular injury. Thiago Alcantara is recovering from his hamstring injury, but this match comes too soon for him. Most probably he will be included in the squad for the match against Inter Milan in the Champions League next week. Captain Jordan Henderson need a rest after starting on both cup matches and ahead of the visit of the Nerazzurri.

West Ham are between the teams fighting for the fourth place that guarantees Champions League football the next season. They are currently fifth with 45 points, but Manchester United, Tottenham and Arsenal are tough opponents. Even the ninth-placed Wolverhampton should not be ignored. The Hammers are in solid form, two victories and two draws on the last four Premier League matches. They managed to beat Watford and Wolves, while shared the points with Leicester and Newcastle. Moyes is doing a fantastic job and I believe the fans are satisfied. But West Ham have just two victories on the last eight league fixtures and he feel some pressure, as well as the players. Moyes has some additional issues as several players are unavailable or doubtful. Tomas Soucek is an injury doubt after receiving an elbow from Ibrahima Diallo in Wednesday's FA Cup defeat to Southampton. Defenders Vladimir Coufal, Ryan Fredericks, Arthur Masuaku and Angelo Ogbonna remain sidelined, while the Ukrainian international Andriy Yarmolenko is not ready to play while his homeland is attacked by Russia. Moyes could rotate the players ahead of their Europa League last-16 battle with Sevilla on Thursday.

Liverpool vs West Ham Prediction:

Liverpool are huge favorites on this match. The Reds are in series of six victories in the Premier League. However, none of the opponents were as good as West Ham. The Hammers are dangerous team under David Moyes and they are able to upset even the big names. Just to mention, West Ham won 3:2 the reverse fixture played in November. I think they won't lose high.

Liverpool vs West Ham Pick: West Ham +1.5 AH @ 2.04 with Bet365
 
The title chasing Liverpool and the top-four challengers West Ham United are ready to fight in the Premier League on Saturday.

Liverpool
Liverpool made a 6-0 success over Leeds United in the last league game. Then they beat Chelsea in the EFL Cup final and advanced to the FA Cup quarter finals with a 2-1 win over Norwich City on Wednesday night. They have won 10 games in a row and have won 13 of the past 14 home games. The Reds are only six points behind Premier League leaders Manchester City with one game in hand.

West Ham United
Moyes's side were eliminated by Southampton in the FA Cup last time out. West Ham United have narrowly defeated wolves 1-0 at home in the Premier League over the past week - ranking fifth in the table - two points behind fourth-placed Manchester United. The team have won only two of the last eight away games in the league fixtures.

Prediction
Most of Liverpool's good players rested well after the victory of the EFL cup. We can only imagine a result here. West Ham have been flattered on the road recently, so Klopp's men are expected to win.

Pick: Liverpool to win in -1.5 AH

Manchester City vs Manchester United Preview:

Possible starting lineups:

Manchester City:
Ederson; Walker, Stones, Laporte, Cancelo; Silva, Rodri, De Bruyne; Mahrez, Foden, Sterling

Manchester United:
De Gea; Wan-Bissaka, Lindelof, Varane, Telles; Pogba, McTominay; Elanga, Fernandes, Sancho; Ronaldo

I will start me preview with some history. The "Manchester derby" is a derby with big tradition in England. The first meeting between the two teams occurred on 12 November 1881, when West Gorton - who would later become Manchester City - hosted Newton Heath - who would later become Manchester United. The game finished 3:0 in favour of the Heathens (United). At that time, the clubs were just two of many fledgling sides in the Manchester area, and the fixture had no special significance.

The first league meeting between the teams came in the season 1894/95 season, when Manchester City lost 2:5 at Hyde Road. The first meeting between the clubs to take place at the highest level of English football occurred in December 1906, a 3:0 City win in a First Division match. As of 6 November 2021, there have been 186 competitive meetings between the teams. United have won 77 and City 56, the remaining 53 games finishing as draws. City won 2:0 the reverse fixture played earlier in the season.

The Citizens currently sit 19 points clear of their upcoming opponents. The actual form is good, three victories on the last four Premier League. According to me, they are the most consistent side. Manager Pep Guardiola is doing a fantastic job and the fans are pleased with his work. In the last round they beat Everton at Goodison Park. Maybe City received some referee's help, but definitely showed they are able to win even on their average day. Manchester City also outplayed Peterborough in the FA Cup. Pep rotated the players on that match in order to rest some of his regulars. He confirmed that Nathan Ake and Ruben Dias are both unavailable due to injuries, while Zack Steffen and Cole Palmer are rated as doubtful.

Manchester United are fourth on the table with 47 points and they will try to secure a Champions League spot. However, it won't be easy as Arsenal and Tottenham have matches in hand. The Red Devils are in solid form in the last period. They have no defeat on the last eight games in the Premier League, but managed to win only a half of them. In the last round they failed to beat Watford at Old Trafford. Winning here is extremely important for the interim coach Ralf Rangnick. Most of the players are ready, but Scott McTominay (illness) and Edinson Cavani (groin) are rated as doubtful. Young Mason Greenwood remain suspended by the club. Finally, Rangnick has to make a decision about Cristiano Ronaldo. The 37-year-old veteran looked tired against Watford and maybe he need a rest.

Manchester City vs Manchester United Prediction:

This will be the 50th Premier League game between these two sides. There have been 21 away wins, more than any other fixture in the competition's history. Manchester United have won the last three matches at the Etihad, however I think City are much closer to the victory here. Simply, there is a class difference between them at the moment. United were unable to score against Watford and they are in some sort of crisis. City will dominate the game, while United will try to take advantage through counter-attacks. But two key strikers - Ronaldo and Cavani - are old and slow. I see no chance for the Red Devils.

Tottenham vs Everton Preview:

Possible starting lineups:

Tottenham:
Lloris; Romero, Dier, Davies; Kulusevski, Hojbjerg, Bentancur, Sessegnon; Lucas, Kane, Son

Everton:
Pickford; Coleman, Holgate, Keane, Kenny; Allan, Doucoure, Van de Beek; Richarlison, Calvert-Lewin, Gordon

Tottenham will try to secure three points in the match against Everton on Monday night. The Spurs are still fighting for the fourth place which means the Champions League football for the next season. However, the current form is inconsistent. They were unbeaten from October to late January and everything looked positive until the match against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge. The Lilywhites lost 2:0, but something else was worrying - they were heavily outplayed. After that Tottenham dropped six "easy" points, losing to Southampton and Wolverhampton. What is worse, both defeats came at home. A heroic 3:2 win at the Etihad against the leaders Manchester City gave some hope, but then came another defeat, from relegation candidates Burnley. The inconsistency continued even on the last two matches as the high victory against Leeds was followed by a shameful elimination from Middlesbrough in the FA Cup. Conte remain to be without Oliver Skipp and Japhet Tanganga. Both of them have been out of contention for quite a while, and they will once again be on the sidelines, having failed to recover from their respective groin and knee injuries. There are two good news as Rodrigo Bentancur and Lucas Moura will return to the squad after the duo had missed the previous two matches. Bentancur had sustained an ankle injury against Burnley, whereas Moura suffered a blow in a training session ahead of the Leeds clash. Their return would give Tottenham a much-needed boost since their depth has been thinned with the recent injuries.

Everton are just outside the drop zone. They are 17th with 22 points, one more than Burnley and the situation looks very complicated. Still, the Toffees have two games in hand and new manager Frank Lampard could be optimistic about the survival. In the last round they suffered a narrow 1:0 loss to the reigning champions Manchester City. It was a controversial match due to a referee mistake. Referees’ chief Mike Riley has personally apologized to Lampard for mistakes made in Everton’s defeat. Lampard accused the VAR official Chris Kavanagh of being a “professional who cannot do his job right” after the match at Goodison Park last Saturday. Kavanagh failed to advise the referee, Paul Tierney, over a handball by Rodri which would have given Everton a late chance of a penalty equalizer. On Thursday they beat 2:0 Boreham Wood and secured quarter-finals of the FA Cup. Both goals were scored by Salomon Rondon in the second half. A spot in the semi-finals looks realistic as they avoided big names and could be rated as favorites against Crystal Palace. But right now the Premier League have the priority. Lampard will probably be without Vitaly Mykolenko after the Ukrainian international had to be taken off on Thursday with a dead leg. To be more complicated, Ben Godfrey remain sidelined with a thigh injury. Tom Davies, Fabian Delph, Yerry Mina and Demarai Gray are also sidelined, but there are some good news too. Andre Gomes and Dominic Calvert-Lewin will probably be able to play here. Finally, Donny van de Beek, Dele Alli and Anwar El Ghazi are back, having miss the Boreham Wood win due to ineligibility. It could be the first Dele Alli appearance against his old club.

Tottenham vs Everton Prediction:

Tottenham are huge five points off the Champions League spots and it is hard to see them finishing inside the Top-4. However, the Spurs have two games in hand and some results are suitable for them, like West Ham's defeat at Anfield on Saturday. This is maybe the last chance for Tottenham. Everton are just outside the drop zone and the players surely feel huge pressure. I expect home win here.
