Newcastle - Norwich Interesting why everywhere odds are against Norwich. I don't think Newcastle can win that easily. Yes, they are still waiting for their first win. I may try on a single bet to win, but overall this will be a thought game. My main bet will be FirstHalf results: Draw.

Leeds - Crystal palace - Another interesting match. 2 teams with good style, but poor performing. Palace will control the game and tempo, Leeds will focus on counter-attacks and set-pieces chances. In their previous 5 games - 4 of them we saw goals for both teams. My today's bet will be BTTS.

We will enjoy another Merseyside derby as Everton and Liverpool face off at Goodison Park on Wednesday night. For those who don't know, the match had been referred to as the "Merseyside derby" in at least one national newspaper in 1955. Traditionally, the Merseyside derby was referred to as the "Friendly derby" because of the large number of families who have both Reds (Liverpool) and Blues (Everton) supporters in them. However, the ‘Friendly Derby’ has seen more Red cards (21) than any other in the Premier League history, while 11 of them have come at Goodison Park; another Premier League record. Former Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard and former Everton captain Phil Neville both saw red twice in derby games. In total 238 games are played between Everton and Liverpool so far and the score is 95:67 for Liverpool with 76 draws.

Everton are on the14th place with 13 points. The fans are disappointed as they were expecting more. Manager Rafa Benitez, who previously worked with Liverpool, is under big pressure. The actual form is poor, five defeats in the last six matches in the Premier League. Everton lost from West Ham, Watford, Wolverhampton, Manchester City and Brentford, while the only positive result is a goalless draw with Tottenham. The Toffees have now gone three Premier League games without finding the back of the net. Key striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin is constantly struggling with injuries and he is spending most of time in the treatment room. He won't play in the derby, but Richarlison is back from suspension and that's a good news. Yerry Mina, Tom Davies and Andre Gomes are all sidelined through injuries, while Mason Holgate will have to serve one more match of his suspension. Demarai Gray was fit enough to come off the bench against Brentford at the weekend and could replace Anthony Gordon in the starting eleven.

Liverpool won the last two matches in the Premier League and the atmosphere in the squad is much better. The Reds occupy third spot in the table - one point adrift of second-placed Manchester City and two behind leaders Chelsea. Liverpool secured two high victories against Arsenal and Southampton, both with 4:0. Sadio Mane, Diogo Jota, Mohamed Salah and Minamino were scorers against the Gunners, while Trent Alexander-Arnold should also be mentioned as he had two assists. On Saturday Liverpool beat Southampton. Jota continued his scoring show with a brace, while Thiago Alcantara and Virgil van Dijk also found the back of the net. Liverpool have now scored at least two goals in each of their last 17 games across all competitions, the best such run by an English team in the history. I am sure Klopp and his players will enter the derby fully motivated for a revenge. The last season's clashes were very frustrating for Liverpool. The match at Goodison Park was remembered for Van Dijk's devastating injury, while the Toffees managed to win 2:0 at Anfield for the first time in new millennium. The injury situation is improving, though Curtis Jones, Naby Keita, Joe Gomez, Roberto Firmino and Harvey Elliot remain sidelined.

Everton vs Liverpool Prediction:

I expect both teams to score at Goodison Park. Liverpool are in fantastic scoring form, they have netted 39 goals on 13 matches in the Premier League, an average of three goals per game. Everton are out of form, but that means nothing when hey face the city rivals. The Toffees have scored four times on two mutual games last season and I believe they are able to find the back of the net again.

Everton vs Liverpool Pick: Both teams to score - Yes @ 1.90 with 10Bet

Manchester United vs Arsenal Preview:

Possible starting lineups:

Manchester United:
De Gea; Wan-Bissaka, Maguire, Lindelof, Telles; Matic, Fred, McTominay; Fernandes; Sancho, Ronaldo

Arsenal:
Ramsdale; Tomiyasu, White, Gabriel, Tavares; Partey, Lokonga; Martinelli, Odegaard, Smith Rowe; Aubameyang

Manchester United and Arsenal first played a competitive match in October 1894. So far the two clubs have faced each other 235 times in total. Man United are more successful with 97 victories, while Arsenal have 85, and 53 matches have ended in a draw. The rivalry between the two clubs only became a fierce one in the late 1990s and early 2000s, when the teams regularly competed against each other for the Premier League title and FA Cup. There was also an enmity between the managers, Arsene Wenger and Alex Ferguson. Wayne Rooney is the best scorer with 12 goals, while Ryan Giggs has made the highest number of appearances with 50. Several players have featured for both clubs at different stages of their career, including Robin van Persie and Alexis Sanchez. Now about the match.

Manchester United are sharing the 8th place with Brighton and Leicester City as all three teams have 18 points. The Red Devils were in the focus last few weeks. They suffered high defeats in that period, like a 5:0 loss from arch-rivals Liverpool at Old Trafford or a 4:1 loss to Watford. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer paid the prize for the poor results and he was sacked last week. His assistant Michael Carrick lead the team as temporary solution, but his results are very good - a 2:0 win against Villarreal in the Champions League followed by an 1:1 draw with leaders Chelsea at Stamford Bridge. In the meantime Ralf Rangnick was announced as interim manager until the end of the season. But due to work permit reasons, the German won't be able to take the managerial role here. Carrick, who will try to register another positive result, has some injury worries - Raphael Varane, Edinson Cavani and Paul Pogba are all sidelined with injuries, while Luke Shaw is rated as doubtful.

Arsenal are in solid form, they have four victories on the last five matches in the Premier League. The Gunners currently have 23 points and share the fourth place with West Ham. Arsenal managed to beat Aston Villa, Leicester City, Watford and Newcastle, but heavily lost to Liverpool at Anfield. However, the players confidence is high and that's a positive moment. Mikel Arteta know the fans are expecting to see Champions League football next season and everything else will be considered as failure. The Spaniard has few injury concerns ahead of the trip to Old Trafford. Bukayo Saka is rated as doubtful after he was replaced against Newcastle as he did feel a muscular problem. The only two confirmed absentees are long-term victims Sead Kolasinac and Granit Xhaka. Alexandre Lacazette lost his starting place and the French striker is looking for a new club. Most probably he will leave the Emirates during January.

Manchester United vs Arsenal Prediction:

Arsenal are unbeaten in their last six Premier League encounters with Manchester United. The Gunners will try to continue the series, but I think the Red Devils could win the match. The first reason for my pick is the experience, something very important in the derby matches. Arteta's men are young and they will have lot of problems at Old Trafford. But there is another reason for my pick - new coach effect. Ralf Rangnick takes charge of his first Premier League game and his tactical capabilities could make the difference. He can't sit on the bench, but he will be in contact during the game.

[ALEXXXXXXX]

Southampton

They are in poor state, suffering a two-match losing streak. Now they rank the fifteenth in the table of the League. Luckily there is no much change in their formation as only one of their player, Jack Stephens is suspend due to injury.


Leicester City

Instead, they get a two-match winning streak in various Leagues. It is because their two key players, Jamie Vardy and James Maddison are getting back in form. James Maddison plays especially well, who earns two MVP recently.


Verdict:

Leicester City take the upper hand over Southampton in past head to head clashes with a record of 5W-3D-2L. What’s more, Leicester City are in form while Southampton are in poor state. So Leicester City are more likely to win in upcoming game.


1x2 Pick: 2

Tottenham vs Brentford Preview:

Possible starting lineups:

Tottenham:
Lloris; Sanchez, Dier, Davies; Emerson, Skipp, Hojbjerg, Reguilon; Lucas, Kane, Son

Brentford:
Fernandez; Goode, Pinnock, Jansson; Canos, Norgaard, Onyeka, Janelt, Henry; Toney, Wissa

Tottenham welcome Brentford to North London on Thursday evening as both teams are looking for a positive result. For Tottenham it will be a victory, while draw is good enough for the visitors. The Spurs are on the seventh place in the Premier League, four points away from the Champions League spots. In addition, they have a match in hand as their game at Burnley on Sunday was postponed due to heavy snowfall. It could be good they have had some additional rest time ahead of this match. In the last league fixture Tottenham managed to beat Leeds United with 2:1. That was the first Premier League victory for Antonio Conte as Spurs manager. As You probably know, the Italian replaced Nuno Espirito Santo last month. Nevertheless, the team performance wasn't at desired level, particularly in the first half. They failed to manage a single shot on or off target in the firstc 45 minutes. Leeds were better side and took advantage when Daniel James stabbed in Jack Harrison's excellent cross. However, it was different in the second half - the hosts equalized just before the hour mark when Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg curled into the far corner after good work by Lucas Moura. The Spurs kept up the pressure and the turnaround was complete in the 69th minute when Sergio Reguilon scored his first Premier League goal. Conte will try to use the momentum, though he has some injury issues. He is still without Cristian Romero, while Giovani Lo Celso and Dane Scarlett are rated as doubtful.

Brentford are sitting in the middle of the table with 16 points. Having on mind they are newcomers in the Premier League, I think this is not bad. Manager Thomas Frank is doing a solid job and the fans could be satisfied. The last period wasn't too successful as they suffered four defeats in a row, but the current form could be evaluated as good. The Bees first shared the points with Newcastle playing a 3:3 draw. On Sunday they secured the fourth victory in the season by narrowly beating Everton with 1:0. Ivan Toney coolly slotted in a 24th-minute penalty, awarded after Andros Townsend's high challenge on Frank Onyeka was reviewed by VAR, but also from the referee England on the pitch-side monitor. It was Toney's only touch in the Everton box all afternoon, but it was enough to secure three points. The Toffees dominated the second half and they had some good opportunities, but failed to score. At the end, Brentford won and the players confidence is surely higher. But Frank has lot of injury issues ahead of this match. Rico Henry and Sergi Canos were both forced off the Sunday's game and they are rated as doubtful. Christian Norgaard and Mathias Jorgensen will most probably skip the match, while David Raya, Kristoffer Ajer, Julian Jeanvier and Josh Dasilva are definitely sidelined. Yoane Wissa and Mads Roerslev will both come into contention for a starting spot if Canos and Henry are not fit enough to feature.

Tottenham vs Brentford Prediction:

This is the first-ever top-flight meeting between Tottenham and Brentford. The Spurs are unbeaten in their past 11 matches against the Bees across all competitions as they won eight and drawn three. Their most recent meeting was in the Carabao Cup semi-final last season when Tottenham won 2:0 thanks to Moussa Sissoko and Son Heung-min's strikes. I expect the tradition to continue. Tottenham are closer to the victory against injury-hit Brentford.
