Sheffield United vs Manchester City

Time: 3:30 GMT+8 on January 22, 2020
Venue: Bramall Lane

Sheffield United vs Manchester City Performance Analysis:

  • Sheffield United has only 1 win coming from their last 15 league matches against Manchester City with 3 draws and 11 losses, while losing their last five without any registration of goal. The only victory registered from that surge was on their ground to Leeds back then in April 1993 in a 2 – 1 score line.
  • Sheffield United have encountered Man City at many times without a win within the Premier League compared against any other team with 3 draws and 4 losses. They are undefeated for 2 games.
  • Sheffield United has failed to win one out of the last 3 on the road games while they have scored at least one goal within the last 2 games.
  • Manchester City has been victorious for every of their last five Premier League matches in Yorkshire, as much as they had within their previous 20 in the country in the top flight with 5 wins, 6 draws and 9 losses. They have scored at least one goal within the last 15 games.
  • Manchester City have been defeated from their last evening fixture in the Premier League in a 2 – 3 score line against the Wolves. For the record, City have not lost in a row kicking off at 7pm or after within the tournament since April 2007. They are undefeated for 4 games.
  • Manchester City are seeking to win three consecutive on the road league matches against the Blades for the 1st time since a surge of four between 1905 and 1908. They have scored at least one goal within the last 8 ground games.

However, for the final statement and prediction, we are still backing up the City squad to win on this upcoming matchup, and with the trusted website of football tips and soccer odds in Malaysia handicap of Manchester City - 1.25

Chelsea vs Arsenal Preview:

Possible starting lineups:

Chelsea:
Kepa; Azpilicueta, Rudiger, Zouma, Emerson; Kante, Jorginho, Mount; Willian, Abraham, Hudson-Odoi

Arsenal:
Leno; Maitland-Niles, Luiz, Sokratis, Saka; Xhaka, Torreira; Martinelli, Ozil, Pepe; Lacazette

Chelsea are currently on the fourth place, five points clear of fifth-placed Manchester United who lost at Anfield. According to me, earning a Champions League spot will satisfy the fans. As You probably know, the transfer ban prevent Abramovich to bring new players. The club legend Frank Lampard was appointed as new manager and he had a difficult job to build a new team without key player Eden Hazard. Lot of experts were suspicious about his ability as this was his first job at highest level. However, the results are not bad and it will be a great success if the Blues secure the Champions League participation for the next season. The last results are mixed, one win, one draw and one defeat on the last three matches in the Premier League. The Blues managed to beat Burnley and shared the points with Brighton, but were unlucky to lose at St James Park. Newcastle won three points after scored a dramatic injury-time goal. Chelsea have now lost as many games after 23 Premier League games this season (8) as they did in the entirety of the last season. Lampard has some injury worries ahead of this match. Reece James went off injured against Newcastle and he will skip this match. This is a big problem at left-back position knowing Marcos Alonso is also unavailable. Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Christian Pulisic and Marco van Ginkel are still on the treatment table. Tammy Abraham and Michy Batshuayi are looking for a place in attack, but it seems Lampard isn't happy with them. Chelsea created 19 chances against the Magpies, but only four were on target.

This is a disappointing season for Arsenal. The Gunners sit on the 10th place with 29 points, far away from the Champions League spots. This is the club worst run of results in 27 years. The owner Stan Kroenke did what was only able to do - sacked the manager Unai Emery. But nothing have changed under interim-coach Freddie Ljungberg. The overall record was just one win under his guidance, against even poorer West Ham. Kroenke then brought the former player Mikel Arteta who worked as Guardiola's assistant in Manchester City. The results are still not at desired level, one win, three draws and one defeat in five matches. On Saturday they dropped two points against Sheffield United. Arsenal scored first through Martinelli in the first half, but the final result was 1:1 after they conceded in the second. Arsenal have dropped a total of 13 points from winning positions in the Premier League this season. The players confidence isn't high and that's a big problem for Arteta. In addition, he has big injury and suspension worries. The captain and club's leading scorer Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is suspended as he will serve the second of his three-match ban. His absence is a huge handicap - the Gabonese striker had scored 48% of Arsenal's 30 league goals this season. He is simply irreplaceable. Calum Chambers, Kieran Tierney and Reiss Nelson remain on the treatment table. Sokratis Papastathopoulos missed the clash with Sheffield United due to illness, and he is rated as doubtful. Left back Sead Kolasinac could overcome a thigh issue to feature.

Chelsea vs Arsenal Prediction:

Both London rivals will be looking to bounce back from disappointing weekend's results. According to me, Chelsea are closer to the victory. One reason is the home advantage, while the other is connect with the absence of Arsenal key player Aubameyang. Finally, the Blues won 2:1 in the reverse fixture played earlier at Emirates.

Manchester United vs Burnley Preview:

Possible starting lineups:

Manchester United
De Gea; Wan-Bissaka, Lindelof, Maguire, Williams; Matic, Fred; James, Mata, Martial; Greenwood

Burnley:
Pope; Bardsley, Tarkowski, Mee, Taylor; Hendrick, Westwood, Cork, McNeil; Rodriguez, Wood

Manchester United sit on the fifth place in the Premier League. They have collected 34 points, five less than fourth-placed Chelsea. The Red Devils will not give up easily and they will try to secure a Champions League spot. The actual form isn't at desired level, they have one win and one defeat in the last two rounds. The Red Devils managed to beat Norwich City at Old Trafford with 4:0, but this weekend lost 2:0 to Liverpool. Manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is surely satisfied with the performance of his players against Norwich. Marcus Rashford was 'Man of the match' as he scored a brace, while the remaining goals were netted by Anthony Martial and Mason Greenwood. Nevertheless, the defeat from league-leaders Liverpool will surely have a negative impact to the atmosphere in the squad, despite the fact Klopp's men are in terrific form this season. Solskjaer has some additional issues as key player Marcus Rashford is sidelined through injury. He is responsible for half of the goals (18) that United have scored so far this season. The 22-year-old striker have scored 14 goals and assisted four. His absence is a huge handicap and it was clear against Liverpool - Rashford would definitely convert some of the chances that other players missed. For example, Andreas Pereira turned wide of an open goal in the first half and Martial shot over the top from an inviting position after the break. But Rashford isn't the only missing player, Solskjaer will also be without Paul Pogba, Scott McTominay, Axel Tuanzebe and Marcos Rojo. Reserve goalkeeper Sergio Romero had a car accident on Monday morning and badly damaged his Lamborghini. The crash occurred near to Manchester United's training ground. The Argentina international remained unhurt and there were no other cars involved.

Burnley have eight wins and three draws after 23 matches in the Premier League. With 27 points, they are in the second part of the table, just five points away of the drop zone. The Clarets are still involved into the relegation battle and the next period could be crucial. The actual form isn't good, they lost four of the last five games. However, they managed to beat Leicester City in the last round. The Clarets were excellent on that match and secured a very important victory. The Foxes had one-goal advantage after the first half, but Chris Wood equalized in the 56th minute after Ben Mee's corner. Interesting to be mentioned, Wood also scored at King Power in the reverse fixture this season. Leicester had a great opportunity to restore the lead few minutes later, but goalkeeper Nick Pope's penalty save from Jamie Vardy and Ashley Westwood's stunning strike in the 79th minute secured the victory for the home side. It was his first Premier League goal since April 2019 when Westwood scored against Bournemouth. Manager Sean Dyche has no new injury issues, meaning Ashley Barnes and Johann Gudmundsson are the only unavailable players. Barnes, who has scored six league goals this season, needs surgery on a hernia problem and will be out of action for an unspecified time.

Manchester United vs Burnley Prediction
:

I don't expect Burnley to lose with more than one goal. The Clarets were excellent against third-placed Leicester and the players confidence is higher. On contrary, Manchester lost at Anfield. The absence of Rashford is a huge handicap for the Red Devils as he is responsible for half of the goals (18) that United have scored so far this season. Last season Burnley stayed unbeaten at Old Trafford (2:2) and I expect another good result.

Manchester United vs Burnley Pick: Burnley +1.5 @ 1.77 with Betsson

Wolverhampton vs Liverpool Preview:

Possible starting lineups:

Wolverhampton:
Rui Patricio, Dendoncker, Coady, Saiss, Doherty, Moutinho, Neves, Jonny, Adama Traore, Jimenez, Neto

Liverpool:
Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Gomez, Van Dijk, Robertson, Fabinho, Henderson, Wijnaldum, Salah, Firmino, Mane

Wolverhampton are sharing the fifth place on the Premier League table. They have 34 points, six less than fourth-placed Chelsea, but have a match in hand. A Champions League spot isn't far away and they will try to be competitive in the next period. The actual form is mixed, one win, one draw and one defeat in the last three rounds. The Wolves lost to Watford, shared the points with Newcastle and won 3:2 against Bournemouth on Saturday. Nuno Espirito Santo’s side battled back from 2:0 down to secure a memorable victory at St Mary's. Raul Jimenez was the hero of the match as he scored a brace. The Mexican striker has been directly involved in 27 goals (scored 18 and assisted 9) for the club in all competitions this season, more than any other player for a Premier League club in 2019/20 season. Pedro Neto also found the back of the net in the 53rd minute of the match. The Portuguese teenager has scored two goals in his last three Premier League appearances. Wolverhampton have picked up 18 points from losing positions this season, seven more than any other club in the top flight division. The atmosphere in the squad is excellent, while the players confidence is high. Most of the players are ready, only Ruben Vinagre and Willy Boly remain sidelined, while Diogo Jota is rated as doubtful with a calf injury. At the end, the latest transfer news. Wolverhampton are targeting Olympiakos winger Daniel Podence, who is valued at more than £20m. Podence has been capped by Portugal at all age levels bar the senior team. Wolves are also tying up the final stages of the signing of Ecuadorian striker Leonardo Campana.

Liverpool obtained another victory this weekend. The Reds managed to beat Manchester United with 2:0 to overwhelm their nearest challengers Manchester City to go 16 points clear in the Premier League with a game in hand (at the moment the difference is 13 points as City won 1:0 against Sheffield United on Tuesday). The reigning champions and third-placed Leicester City will continue to fight, no doubt about that. But according to the experts, they are now in a fight for second place. Indeed, Liverpool are very close to realize their dream of winning a first league title in 30 years. Virgil van Dijk and Mohamed Salah scored the goals against Solskjaer's men and secured the 13th consecutive win in the Premier League. Right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold should also be mentioned. Since the start of last season, he has 21 Premier League assists, more than any other player. Finally, goalkeeper Alisson Becker, who was brilliant as usual, became the first Liverpoo keeper to assist a Premier League goal since March 2010. In addition, he recorded the seventh consecutive league clean sheet. After the final whistle Liverpool fans sang "we're going to win the league", but Klopp insists the focus remains on taking each game as it comes. So, he and his players remain fully focused on Wolverhampton. The injury situation is slowly improving. Joel Matip and Fabinho returned to the bench following injury lay-offs at the weekend and the later could start here. Dejan Lovren, who has been missing since Liverpool's win over Salzburg in the Champions League, is now closing in on a return. Of course, he will need to work hard to earn a starting place, with Joe Gomez impressing in his absence. James Milner is still out with a thigh injury. He has not played since the FA Cup clash over Everton and has no expected return date. Naby Keita is sidelined with a groin injury, while Nathaniel Clyne is a long-term injury victim. New signing Minamino is still looking for his Premier League debut.

Wolverhampton vs Liverpool Prediction:

Liverpool are in fantastic form, unbeaten after 22 league matches. The Reds are 13 points clear of the second-placed Manchester City, with two games in hand. This is the biggest lead any team have had at this stage of a Premier League campaign. The Reds are clear favorites in this match, however I think Wolverhampton are able to upset them. They have good results in derby matches against big sides. Wolves already beat twice Manchester City this season. They were also good on the reverse fixture played at Anfield, but some strange VAR decisions prevented them to get a positive result. If Liverpool win with one goal, then Your stake is back.

Wolverhampton vs Liverpool Pick: Wolverhampton +1.0 AH @ 1.79 with SBOBET
