Tottenham vs Sheffield United Preview:
Possible starting lineups:
Tottenham:
Gazzaniga, Alderweireld, Sanchez, Aurier, Davies, Sissoko, Dele Alli, Eriksen, Moura, Son, Harry Kane
Sheffield United:
Henderson, Baldock, Stevens, O’Connell, Basham, Egan, Fleck, Lundstram, Norwood, McGoldrick, Mousset
Tottenham are sitting on the 11th place with 13 points. They are massive 18 behind the league leaders Liverpool and the fans are disappointed. Manager Mauricio Pochettino is under pressure, as well as the players. However, the Spurs will play this match after the high Champions League victory against Red Star Belgrade. Tottenham won 4:0 on Wednesday and the atmosphere in the squad is much better. Forward Son Heung-min, who was left "devastated" by his foul that led to a horrific ankle injury for Everton's Andre Gomes last weekend, scored two goals. The South Korean international did not celebrate his first goal, but clasped his hands and bowed his head. The remaining two goals were scored by Giovani Lo Celso and Christian Eriksen. The Spurs have become the first English club to beat Red Star in Belgrade in some European competition. Just to remind You, last year Liverpool lost 2:0 at the Stadium "Rajko Mitic". Pochettino will try to continue the winning series in this match. Most of the players are ready, including Son. The red card he received for his tackle on Andre Gomes was overturned by the Football Association. Referee Martin Atkinson sent-off Son, but an independent regulatory commission has upheld a claim of wrongful dismissal. Three players are struggling with injuries - Hugo Lloris and Jan Vertonghen are definitely sidelined, while Erik Lamela is doubtful and will be assessed before the match.
Sheffield United are on the sixth place with 16 points. Having on mind they are newcomers in the Premier League, I believe the fans are very satisfied with the situation. The actual form is good, two wins and one draw in the last three rounds. The Blades won 1:0 against Arsenal and won 3:0 against Burnley, while shared the points with West Ham. The solid defense is the key for success. Sheffield United have kept 26 clean sheets in the league since the start of last season and no other club have recorded more shut-outs in this time in the top four divisions in England. Manager Chris Wilder is doing an excellent job. Striker Lys Moussett play in great form, he registered three assists in the last week's 3:0 win over Burnley. John Lundstram should also be mentioned, not only he scored two goals, but also had a passing accuracy of 86.5%. Wilder has just one injury worry ahead of this match. John Egan, who was forced off late against Burnley, is rated as doubtful. The former Everton player Phil Jagielka is ready to deputize if necessary.
Tottenham vs Sheffield United Prediction:
I expect both teams to score here. Both Sheffield United and Tottenham are in good form at the moment. The Blades scored three goals on the last match, while the Spurs four. Considering these facts, I expect an efficient match at new White Hart Lane.

Leicester City vs Arsenal Preview:
Possible starting lineups:
Leicester City:
Schmeichel; Pereira, Evans, Soyuncu, Chilwell; Ndidi, Tielemans; Perez, Maddison, Barnes; Vardy
Arsenal:
Leno; Bellerin, Sokratis, Luiz, Tierney; Guendouzi, Torreira; Pepe, Ozil, Aubameyang; Lacazette
Leicester City will host Arsenal as third-placed team, just after European Champions Liverpool and Premier League Champions Manchester City. The Foxes are definitely the most pleasant surprise of the season. Manager Brendon Rodgers is doing a fantastic job and the fans are fully satisfied. Most of them are hoping for Champions League spot, while some are dreaming about "new miracle". As You probably know, Leicester were surprise champions under Claudio Ranieri in the season 2015/16. A famous fan Leigh Herbert, whose bet netted him £20,000 when Leicester City won the Premier League as 5,000-1 outsiders, has backed them to win the title again this season. Only this time he had to make do with "measly" odds of 300-1 on the Foxes to repeat their fairytale triumph of three years ago. However, the actual form is excellent, they are in series of three victories in the Premier League. Even more, they have scored eleven goals on the last two matches and kept clean sheet on both. Two weeks ago the Foxes destroyed Southampton, winning 9:0 at St Mary. Last weekend they beat Crystal Palace 2:0, again as guests. Jamie Vardy play in excellent form, he become the first player that scored 10 Premier League goals this season. Since Brandon Rodgers' first league match in charge of Leicester City on 3 March, Vardy has scored 19 Premier League goals, 5 more than any other player. Rodgers has the majority of his players ready for this match, only Matty James remain sidelined. The Irishman could name the same eleven which began the last round's game with Crystal Palace.
Arsenal have 17 points and sit on the fifth place after 11 rounds. So far they have four victories, five draws and just two defeats. Nevertheless, the actual form could not be rated as good. The Gunners have no win on the last three matches in the Premier League. They lost 1:0 to Sheffield United, while shared the points with Crystal Palace and Wolverhampton. The fact they dropped seven of the possible nine points surely frustrated the fans. To be worse, the away form is poor, Arsenal have no win since the opening-day victory against Newcastle. Worst of all, the atmosphere in the squad is bad following the Xhaka incident. The Switzerland international clashed with his own fans after his substitution was greeted by sarcastic cheers in the match against Palace at the Emirates Stadium on 27 October. Xhaka, who was named Emery’s permanent captain two months ago, removed the captain’s armband, then removed the shirt and shouted "fu*k off" at his own fans before going straight down the tunnel. Most probably he won't play in this match as Emery continues to consider the midfielder future. Hector Bellerin and David Luiz are expected to feature at King Power after not playing in the Europa League, while Dani Ceballos is rated as doubtful after picking up a hamstring injury in Guimaraes.
Leicester City vs Arsenal Prediction:
Leicester City are in excellent form, they have three wins on the last three matches in the Premier League. The Foxes have scored 11 goals on the last two matches and the players confidence is very high. On contrary, Arsenal have no win on the last three league matches. The atmosphere in the squad is bad following the Xhaka's incident. I expect the Gunners to struggle again.

Liverpool vs Manchester City Preview:
Possible starting lineups:
Liverpool:
Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Lovren, Van Dijk, Robertson; Fabinho, Wijnaldum, Henderson; Salah, Firmino, Mane
Manchester City:
Ederson; Walker, Stones, Otamendi, Mendy; De Bruyne, Fernandinho, Gundogan; Bernardo Silva, Aguero, Sterling
This is a top-of-the-table clash, a match between the European champions Liverpool and the Premier League champions Manchester City. Liverpool have established a 6-point lead at the moment, but the Citizens will not give up easily. Liverpool fans are dreaming about the title, first after 30 years. They were so close last season, but at the end Manchester City lifted the trophy. The only defeat came in the direct match with Pep Guardiola's team, so that is why this clash is extremely important. The Merseysiders are the leaders in the Premier League and have a record of 10 victories and one draw. Their perfect start came to the end at Old Trafford as they drew 1:1 with Manchester United. However, they managed to beat Tottenham and Aston Villa after that. Liverpool managed to collect points after conceding first on both games. Even more, they miraculously won last Saturday despite trailing 1:0 in the 87th minute. Headers from Andy Robertson and Sadio Mane have secured the Reds' 10th league victory. Liverpool have scored more 90th-minute winning goals than any other side in the competition's history (35). On Tuesday Klopp's men have obtained a narrow 2:1 win over Genk in the Champions League. Some of the key players were not risked on that match, while some came as substitutes in the second half. Klopp has four injury concerns ahead of this match. Nathaniel Clyne, Joel Matip and Xherdan Shaqiri are all sidelined, while Jordan Henderson is rated as doubtful through illness. Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain could drop to the bench despite the fact he impressed against Genk in the Champions League.
Manchester City were dominant in the Premier League last two years. Pep Guardiola composed an excellent team, though he has some defensive issues this season. Manchester have conceded 10 goals, more than third-placed Leicester City and sixth-placed Sheffield United. The injuries of centre-backs John Stones and Aymeric Laporte are probably the main reason for that situation. Stones is available for this match, but Laporte remains out, so Fernandinho or Nicolas Otamendi are expected to start in the heart of defense. The actual form is good, Manchester have three victories on the last three matches in the Premier League. They beat Crystal Palace with 2:0, Aston Villa with 3:0 and Southampton with 2:1. The last match was most difficult as Manchester trailed 1:0 until Sergio Aguero netted in 70th minute, with Kyle Walker scoring the late winner. In the meantime, Manchester City secured the quarter-finals of the League Cup and they are close to qualify for the knock-out stage of the Champions League. Pep has some injury worries as goalkeeper Ederson is rated as doubtful after limped off against Atalanta with a muscular problem. David Silva is also rated as doubtful, while Leroy Sane, Aymeric Laporte, Rodrigo and Oleksandr Zinchenko are definitely sidelined.
Liverpool vs Manchester City Prediction:
According to me, Manchester City are closer to the victory. Liverpool won 10 of the 11 played games, but they were extremely lucky in the last period. Some victories were secured thanks to the keeper's mistake, some thanks to suspicious penalty etc. Key player Mo Salah is out of form at the moment, he has scored just one goal on the last six matches in the Premier League. Even that goal came from a penalty. Mane is under pressure after Guardiola claimed he is a diver. These are small things, though my favorite is Manchester City. In case of draw, Your stake is back.
