Luton Town vs Arsenal Preview:

Possible starting lineups:

Luton Town:
Kaminski; Osho, Bell, Giles; Kabore, Mpanzu, Barkley, Chong; Townsend, Brown, Ogbene

Arsenal:
Raya; White, Saliba, Gabriel, Zinchenko; Odegaard, Rice, Havertz; Saka, Jesus, Trossard

Luton Town will welcome the leaders Arsenal to the Kenilworth Road on Tuesday night. These two teams will face in a top-flight fixture for the first time after 32 years. Both teams were on duty over the weekend, but with different success. While the Hatters suffered a 3:1 defeat to Brentford, the Gunners beat Wolverhampton Wanderers 2:1. Arsenal are clear favorites in this match, but Luton Town are definitely able to create problems. They are unbeaten on the last two home matches and this fact should not be underestimated. Luton managed to beat Crystal Palace and played 1:1 with Liverpool on the last two matches at Kenilworth Road. Supported by their loyal fans, they will try to remain unbeaten again. But manager Edwards has huge injury worries ahead of this match. Captain Tom Lockyer and Teden Mengi have suffered injuries during the weekend and most probably they will not play here. To be worse, Alfie Doughty remain sidelined with a hip injury. Albert Sambi Lokonga is ineligible to face his parent club, while five more players are out injured - Marvelous Nakamba, Mads Andersen, Reece Burke, Cauley Woodrow and Dan Potts.

Arsenal are first with 33 points, two more than the second placed Liverpool, The Gunners are in series of three victories in the Premier League. They beat Burnley, Brentford and Wolves, scoring six goals in the process. The last match showed two faces of Arsenal. They dominated the first half and secured a 2:0 lead thanks to early goals scored by Bukayo Saka and Martin Odegaard. Arteta's men had lot of good opportunities to scored the third goal, but weren't clinical. On contrary, Matheus Cunha scored for Wolves in the finish and the last period was far nervier than should have been for the home fans. Arsenal were also successful in the Champions League and already did enough to secure the knock-out phase. Arteta has four unavailable players for this match as Jurrien Timber, Emile Smith Rowe, Fabio Vieira and Thomas Partey are out injured. Takehiro Tomiyasu, who was withdrawn in the finish of the match against Wolverhampton, is rated as doubtful. Cosidering this will be Arsenal's third match in the space of a week, some changes are very much possible, with Kai Havertz and Jorginho ready to provide fresh legs.

Luton Town vs Arsenal Prediction:


Arsenal are huge favorites in this match, however, it won't be easy for Arteta's title-chasing troops. Luton Town already remained unbeaten against Liverpool last month. Furthermore, the Hatters have a strong H2H record against the Gunners. Luton are unbeaten on the last 11 home matches with Arsenal at Kenilworth Road. And there is more - Luton Town also defeated Arsenal in the 1988 EFL Cup final to win their first major trophy. The final was played at Wembley Stadium in front of 95,732 spectators. What I want to say is that Luton Town are able to create problems to Arsenal. That is why I will suggest a low scoring match with no more than three goals.

Sheffield United vs Liverpool Preview:

Possible starting lineups:

Sheffield United:
Foderingham; Ahmedhodzic, Trusty, Robinson; Bogle, Souza, Norwood, Larouci; Hamer, McAtee; Archer

Liverpool:
Kelleher; Alexander-Arnold, Konate, Van Dijk, Gomez; Szoboszlai, Mac Allister, Jones; Salah, Gakpo, Diaz

Sheffield United will welcome Liverpool to Bramall Lane in Wednesday's Premier League clash. The Blades are at the bottom of the table with just five points. The situation is very complicated, particularly after the weekend's defeat to Burnley. Sheffield United suffered a heavy 5:0 loss and they have conceded a league‑high 39 goals in 14 league games. According to some club officials, manager Paul Heckingbottom is set to be sacked in the next period and his scheduled news conference was cancelled on Monday. He could be replaced by the former manager Chris Wilder in a desperate attempt to improve their Premier League campaign. Heckingbottom has done an impressive job last season as he led United from the Championship Division to the Premier League. The problem for the 46-year-old coach was the departure of two best players, Iliman Ndiaye to Marseille, and Sander Berge to Burnley. The hosts have some injury and suspension issues and they will be without striker Oli McBurnie, who received a red card against Burnley. Right-back George Baldock suffered a hamstring injury on the same match and he is highly doubtful. Chris Basham, Tom Davies, Rhys Norrington-Davies, John Egan, Daniel Jebbison and Rhian Brewster remain out.

Liverpool are second on the table, two points behind the leaders Arsenal. They are in good form at the moment, winning three of the last four matches across all competitions. The draw with Manchester City at Etihad is also a good result. On Saturday Klopp's men have prolonged their perfect home record with a dramatic 4:3 victory over Fulham at Anfield. With less than 10 minutes to play, it looked like a 14-month unbeaten home record at Anfield in the Premier League was finally coming to an end when Fulham took a 3:2 lead. However, Wataru Endo equalized the result and then Trent Alexander-Arnold scored the winner, while also adding this match to the ever-growing list of unforgettable Premier League contests. Klopp has big defensive problems ahead of this match. Joel Matip is the latest victim after he was forced off in the second half against Fulham due to a knee problem. The Cameroonian joins Alisson Becker and Andy Robertson, meaning Liverpool are without three of their five men behind. That's not all as Diogo Jota,, Thiago Alcantara and Stefan Bajcetic remain in the recovery phase too. A fit-again Ibrahima Konate will most probably replace Matip, but Alisson is irreplaceable and his absence is a big handicap.

Sheffield United vs Liverpool Prediction:


Liverpool are big favorites here. The Reds have scored 8 goals on the last two matches and I believe they will find the back of the net again. The question is about Sheffield United, are they able to upset Liverpool. I think so. First of all, the Blades netted on each of the last three home games, including the match with Manchester United. But there is another reason for my pick - Klopp will be without three important defenders, including the goalkeeper Alisson. The absence of Robertson and Matip is also a problem, but Alisson is irreplaceable. According to me, the Brazilian could save at least one of the three goals that Kelleher conceded on Sunday.

Aston Villa vs Manchester City Preview:

Possible starting lineups:

Aston Villa:
Martinez; Konsa, Carlos, Torres, Digne; Bailey, Kamara, Luiz, McGinn; Diaby, Watkins

Manchester City:
Ederson; Walker, Dias, Ake; Akanji, Kovacic; Foden, Alvarez, Bernardo, Doku; Haaland

Fourth-placed Aston Villa will welcome the third-placed Manchester City to Villa Park on Wednesday night. Just one point separates these two teams in the top-flight table, so we shall expect an interesting match. Aston Villa are playing very good and they have just one defeat in the last 10 matches in the Premier League. Sadly, the defeat came against the easiest opponents - Nottingham. However, Unai Emery is doing a fantastic job and the fans are pleased. Most of them are dreaming about the Champions League, but imagine what will happen if Aston Villa outplay the reigning champions in this match. I am sure the fans will start dreaming about something else. Emery has some injury worries as three players remain sidelined - Bertrand Traore, Emiliano Buendia and Tyrone Mings. On the positive note, Boubacar Kamara is available after serving a one-match ban last weekend. Some changes are possible, with Moussa Diaby pushing for a starting spot. He came off the substitutes' bench to set up Watkins' equalizer against Bournemouth.

Manchester City are in series of three draws in the Premier League. The fact is they had tough opponents in Chelsea, Liverpool and Tottenham, but also the fact is they dropped six from the possible nine points. On Sunday they played a thrilling six-goal derby with Tottenham that ended 3:3. One thing is clear, the problem is defense. City have conceded 10 goals in their last four matches across all competitions, while they have only kept five clean sheets in 21 competitive matches this season. Guardiola will be missing two important players due to suspension. Rodri and Grealish are both ruled out due to an accumulation of yellow cards. The absence of Rodri could be a huge problem as Manchester already played three matches without him and lost all of them (Wolves and Arsenal in the Premier League, Newcastle in the EFL Cup). Mateo Kovacic is expect to deputize, but It will be very hard for Guardiola to find an adequate replacement. Matheus Nunes, who has missed the last three games with a muscle injury, is rated as doubtful, while Kevin De Bruyne remains long-term absentee. Erling Haaland is allegedly at risk of a FA charge following a social media post after the draw with Tottenham.

Aston Villa vs Manchester City Prediction:


Aston Villa are in fantastic form, but they have a poor mutual record against Manchester City. The Lions have failed to win any of their last 13 Premier League meetings. Last time Villa beat City 10 years ago, a 3:2 home win in September 2013. I think Guardiola's men are closer to the victory again, however I will suggest Over 2.5 goals. Both teams played highly efficient matches during the weekend. Four goals were scored at Vitality, while six at the Etihad. At least three should be scored here, possibly more.

Everton vs Newcastle United Preview:

Possible starting lineups:

Everton:
Pickford; Young, Tarkowski, Branthwaite, Mykolenko; Harrison, Gueye, Garner, Doucoure, McNeil; Beto

Newcastle United:
Dubravka; Trippier, Schar, Lascelles, Livramento; Miley, Guimaraes, Joelinton; Almiron, Isak, Gordon

Everton will welcome Newcastle United to Goodison Park on Thursday night. Both teams are going into the match on the back of last rounds narrow victories. The Toffees secured a 1:0 away win over Nottingham Forest last Saturday, while the Magpies beat Manchester United by the same scoreline. Everton now sit third from the bottom with seven points. In fact, they have collect 17 points, but the club were deducted 10 points for financial irregularities. However, the last victory is very important for the atmosphere in the squad. A superb second-half goal from Dwight McNeil secured their third away win in a row. Interesting to be mentioned, Everton have picked up just four points at home, while 13 on road. Only Arsenal and Tottenham have better away record than the Toffees. But playing at home is a problem and Sean Dyche looks unable to change something dramatically. He has some additional issues as key striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin is doubtful with a calf problem. His potential absence means a start for summer signing Beto. But the question is how adequate replacement is, knowing Beto is yet to score in the Premier League. Three players are definitely sidelined - Amadou Onana, Andre Gomes and Dele Alli. On the positive note, Seamus Coleman is back after seven-month spell on the sidelines with a knee injury.

Newcastle United managed to beat Chelsea and Manchester United in the last two rounds. They are currently sixth with 26 points, but a victory here could see them climbing on the fourth position, particularly because Aston Villa play with Manchester City. Anthony Gordon, who came exactly from Everton in January, was on the scoresheet in both of those victories. Gordon has increased his goal tally to seven since joining the club. Thanks to him, the Magpies have improved their form in the last period, winning seven of their last 10 Premier League matches. But Howe still has huge injury issues. First-choice goalkeeper Nick Pope is the latest victim. He will be out at least four months after dislocating his shoulder against Manchester United. Pope will be replaced by Martin Dubravka, but that's only a temporary solution. According to some sources, the club will try to secure David de Gea or Aaron Ramsdale. Ten more players remain sidelined - Sven Botman, Jacob Murphy, Joe Willock, Sean Longstaff, Callum Wilson, Matt Targett, Elliot Anderson, Dan Burn, Harvey Barnes and Javi Manquillo. In addition, Gordon is rated as doubtful after coming off against Man United with a knock.

Everton vs Newcastle United Prediction:


Everton home form isn't at desired level. They have won just two of their last 12 home matches under Dyche. What is worse, the Toffees have lost five of their last six Premier League meetings with Newcastle, including the heavy 4:1 home defeat to the Magpies in April. Howe has huge injury issues, but it seems he learnt to deal with the situation. Newcastle managed to beat Chelsea and Manchester United in the last two rounds, while also played a controversial 1:1 draw with PSG in the Champions League. I think they are too strong for Everton.

I will consider the suggestion. However, my primary intention is to provide some helpful information about the match.
