Aston Villa - Brighton - After the appointing of Steve G we all expect to see different game style, he had enough time with the squad to make some changes. But we all see how good can be Brighton when they are playing with attitude. They' are my favorite in this match. My pick is over 0.5 goals first half. - odds @1.50.

Norwich - Man.United - I
can't see how Ole will be sacked, no matter of the results. But beside that I think United will win with difference. In other side Watford are unpredictable, but overall they are bad as United. But But my pick is United to win both half - odds @2.30.

Leicester City vs Chelsea Preview:

Possible starting lineups:

Leicester City:
Schmeichel; Pereira, Soyuncu, Evans, Castagne; Ndidi, Soumare; Lookman, Maddison, Barnes; Vardy

Chelsea:
Mendy; Azpilicueta, Silva, Rudiger; James, Jorginho, Kante, Chilwell; Hudson-Odoi, Mount; Havertz

Leicester City host Chelsea in the first kick-off of the 12th round of the Premier League at King Power Stadium. The Blues sit at the top of the table, while the Foxes currently occupy the 12th place with only four wins out of their 11 matches. The fans of one team are pleased, while the other are disappointed. It is easy to guess that home fans aren't satisfied with the results. Leicester City have 15 points and they are seven away from the Champions League spots. At the same time they are seven points away from the relegation zone, so the next period is very important. Manager Brendon Rodgers, who feels some pressure, is well aware they need to improve as soon as possible. The defense is the weakest point - only four of the bottom five teams have conceded more often than Leicester City this season. Rodgers has some additional issues as Youri Tielemans has suffered a calf injury against Leeds United before the international break and he didn't play for Belgium. Tielemans is rated as doubtful, while four other players are sidelined - Wesley Fofana, Marc Albrighton, James Justin and Ryan Bertrand.

Chelsea are on the top the table with 26 points, three more than Manchester City and West Ham. The Blues are excellent so far, they managed to obtain eight victories, while shared the points on two occasions. The only defeat came against the Citizens. Having on mind they faced four teams from "Big-6" group, the fans could be satisfied with the results. Manager Thomas Tuchel is doing a great job and the owner Roman Abramovich is pleased. However, the last result wasn't according to expectations as Chelsea dropped two points against Burnley at Stamford Bridge. In his post-match interview Tuchel said that "Chelsea would have won their game against Burnley 99 times out of 100." According to him, the Blues let the Clarets "steal a point by pure luck." Kai Havertz scored for Chelsea with a header from Reece James' cross, while Ashley Westwood equalized the result. Nevertheless, the atmosphere in the squad is positive at the moment, while the players confidence is high. Tuchel has some injury issues as Mason Mount wasn't called for England due to a dental surgery but should be ready for this match. The biggest question is about the striker Romelu Lukaku. The Belgian international is successfully recovering from an ankle injury and could feature. Timo Werner is struggling with a hamstring injury.

Leicester City vs Chelsea Prediction:


I expect Over 2.5 goals at King Power Stadium. Rodgers' men were unlucky to score in the last home match against Arsenal when lost 0:2, but previously played some efficient matches at home. The Foxes won 4:2 against Manchester United and drew 2:2 with Burnley. Chelsea have scored eleven goals on the last three league matches and I expect to continue with the efficiency. At least three goals should be scored here.

Leicester City vs Chelsea Pick
: Over 2.5 goals @ 2.03 with Pinnacle
 
Watford

They are the newly-promoted this season. They come back to the League just after one season. But they do not play well in the League. Now they rank the seventeenth in League table. Although they sign a new manager, Claudio Ranieri, it does not work. They suffer a two-match losing streak in recent games.


Manchester United

They bring in a few players in transfer window this season. They play well in the beginning of this season, getting a four-match unbeaten run. But as they start to play many fronts in the meantime, they are in poor condition. They even have been knocked out of England League Cup. In last game, they lose to Man City at 0-2.


Verdict:

Both of them are not in good condition. Man Utd are certainly better than Watford. Besides, Manchester United take the upper hand over Watford in past head to head clashes with a record of 8W-2L, which makes them have psychological advantage. So Manchester United will possibly win in upcoming game.


Prediction: 1-2, 1-3

Liverpool vs Arsenal Preview:

Possible starting lineups:

Liverpool:
Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Tsimikas, Matip, Van Dijk, Thiago, Fabinho, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Salah, Jota, Mane

Arsenal:
Ramsdale; Tomiyasu, White, Gabriel, Tierney; Saka, Thomas, Lokonga, Smith Rowe; Lacazette; Aubameyang

Liverpool welcome Arsenal at Anfield in the most interesting Saturday's fixture of the Premier League. This is a derby between two of the 'Big-6' sides. Liverpool are huge favorites according to the bookmakers, but I don't think so. The Reds are in some sort of crisis and they are without a victory in the last two rounds. First they played only a 2:2 home draw with Brighton in a frustrating manner. Jordan Henderson and Sadio Mane scored two early goals for a 2:0 lead, but the Seagulls didn't give up. Their comeback started through Enock Mwepu's stunning attempt from 25 yards and culminated with Trossard's equalizer. It was a disappointing result, but the last round was even worse. Jurgen Klopp's men suffered the first defeat of the season when they lost 2:3 to West Ham. The Reds had almost 70% possession and 15 shots, but lost the match. The poor form isn't the only problem for Klopp as he has a huge injury issues. Sadio Mane picked up a rib injury while on international duty with Senegal, but should be ready to play this weekend. Andy Robertson and Jordan Henderson are racing with the time to be ready to make the matchday squad. Joe Gomez is still not available, with the defender yet to return to outdoor work having missed the last two games. James Milner, Naby Keita and Roberto Firmino are “getting closer,” though none of the trio will be involved against Arsenal. Curtis Jones is out with an eye injury, while Harvey Elliott is long-term injury victim.

Arsenal will try to maintain the winning series of three matches this weekend. The Gunners currently have 20 points and sit on the fifth place. A victory here could see them going inside the Champions League zone. They are in excellent form, winning the last three matches in the Premier League. Arsenal started the winning series with a 3:1 win against Aston Villa. Thomas Partey headed in Smith Rowe's corner for his first goal. Right at the end of the first half, Arsenal were given a penalty for a foul on Alexandre Lacazette. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's effort was saved excellently by former Arsenal keeper Emiliano Martinez, but the Gabon striker put home the rebound from close range. Smith Rowe scored Arsenal's third 11 minutes into the second half. Leicester City were the next victims. Gabriel put the Gunners in front, climbing above several static Leicester defenders to head in from Bukayo Saka's corner, while Emile Smith Rowe netted the second goal. In the last round Mikel Arteta's men beat Watford with 1:0. The in-form Emile Smith Rowe scored the lone goal in the 56th minute. He became the fourth player aged 21 or younger that have scored in three consecutive Premier League appearances for Arsenal. The other three are club legends Nicolas Anelka, Jose Antonio Reyes and Cesc Fabregas. However, the players confidence is very high after the last victories and that's a positive moment. Arteta has some issues ahead of the trip to Anfield. Granit Xhaka and Sead Kolasinac are sidelined through injuries, while Thomas Partey is rated as doubtful.

Liverpool vs Arsenal Preview:


Liverpool have won the last four Premier League fixtures against Arsenal at Anfield. The Reds also outplayed the Gunners in the last match, winning 3:0 at Emirats in April. But right now it is different, the momentum is on Arsenal side. They are in fine form, three victories in a row, while Liverpool have no win on the last two league matches. I expect Arsenal to remain unbeaten.
