Manchester United vs Aston Villa Preview:

Possible starting lineups:

Manchester United:
De Gea; Wan-Bissaka, Bailly, Maguire, Shaw; McTominay, Fred; Greenwood, Fernandes, Rashford; Martial

Aston Villa:
Martinez; Cash, Hause, Mings, Targett; Luiz, McGinn; El Ghazi, Barkley, Grealish; Watkins

Manchester United host Aston Villa at Old Trafford on the first day of 2021. The Red Devils have collected 30 points, just three less than leaders Liverpool. The real situation could be even better as United have a match in hand. In other words, they could be level with the actual champions. Ole Gunar Solskjaer, who was under heavy pressure after the defeat from Tottenham in October, is enjoying the moment now. The current form is fantastic, 7 victories and 2 draws on the last 9 league matches. Manchester United managed to beat Everton, WBA, Southampton, West Ham, Sheffield United, Leeds and Wolverhampton in the last round. The Tuesday's game with the Wolves seemed destined to be a draw, but Rashford scored deep into stoppage time and brought his team three points. The goal came exactly at 92 minutes and 51 seconds, the latest winning goal in a Premier League game at Old Trafford since September 2009, when Michael Owen scored at 95:27 against Manchester City. It was a lucky goal as his shot was deflected off Romain Saiss to leave Rui Patricio completely wrong-footed, though nobody could say Manchester didn't deserve the victory. Rashford could also be satisfy as this is his first goal at Old Trafford in the Premier League after 845 minutes of play, since netting in July against Southampton. Bruno Fernandes should also be mentioned for the assist. Since his Premier League debut in February, he was directly involved in 32 goals (scored 18 and assisted 14) in the Premier League, more than any other player. The atmosphere in the squad is excellent, while the players confidence is high. Solskjaer has most of his players available, only few injury issues. Victor Lindelof, who suffered a back injury in the match against Leicester City last Saturday, is rated as doubtful. Most probably the Swede will not be risked. Solskjaer, who heavily rotated against Wolverhampton, is expected to do the same again. He made six changes to the starting eleven, the most in the Premier League since April 2019. Some of the players that started from the bench against the Wolves (Mata, Martial, Fred, James, Shaw, Henderson, van de Beek, Tuanzebe and McTominay) could be starters now in order to provide fresh legs. Defender Marcos Rojo remain long-term absentees.

Aston Villa had a perfect start in the Premier League this season. They secured four victories in the first four rounds, including a fantastic 7:2 win over the reigning champions Liverpool in the third round. It was the first time since the season 1930/31 Villa to opened a Premier League campaign with four victories. The fans started to dream about the title, while many pundits commented about possible new "Leicester City situation". Nevertheless, the Villans are currently sharing the fifth place with four other teams - Chelsea, Tottenham, Manchester City and Southampton. They all have 26 points, but Aston Villa and Manchester City have matches in hand as they played only 14 games so far. In theory, Villa could reach 32 points, one less than actual leaders Liverpool. The current form is very good, they are unbeaten on the last five matches in the Premier League, winning three of them. Dean Smith's men managed to beat Wolverhampton, West Bromwich and Crystal Palace, while shared the points with Burnley and Chelsea in the last round. The draw at Stamford Bridge is definitely a good result for any side, so I believe the fans were satisfied. The Blues took the advantage after 34 minutes, but Anwar El Ghazi rescued a point for Aston Villa with his fifth goal in as many games. He is in good form and become the first Aston Villa player to score in three successive Premier League appearances since Tom Cleverley in May 2015. Similar to their opponents, the atmosphere between the players is very good. And of course, the confidence is high. However, Smith has no big roster like his counterpart Ole Gunar Solskjaer. This will be the third match in just six days and the players are surely tired. Key midfielder Grealish played the whole 180 minutes on the last two matches, as well as Cash, Target, McGinn, Hause, Watkins and goalkeeper Martinez. Douglas Luiz was replaced in the 91st minute against Palace, meaning he could be added to the previous group. So, eight players are desperate for rest and I think they won't be able to give their maximum at Old Trafford, particularly in the second half. Some players are not available , like Trezeguet and Wesley. Ross Barkley, who didn't featured since the end of November, is rated as doubtful.

Manchester United vs Aston Villa Prediction:


Both teams are in good form, however Manchester United are closer to the victory. The Red Devills have seven victories on the last nine matches in the Premier League. More important, Solskjaer has bigger roster, something very important in the busy festive period. Eight players from Aston Villa were involved 90 minutes against Crystal Palace last weekend and 90 minutes against Chelsea on Monday.

West Bromwich Albion vs Arsenal Preview:

Possible starting lineups:

West Bromwich Albion:
Johnstone; Furlong, Ajayi, O'Shea, Peltier; Robinson, Pereira, Sawyers, Gallagher, Diangana; Grant

Arsenal:
Leno; Bellerin, Holding, Mari, Tierney; Elneny, Xhaka; Saka, Smith Rowe, Martinelli; Aubameyang

West Bromwich Albion are in the drop zone, second from the bottom. They have only eight points and they are five away from the safety. The situation is very complicated, almost critical. Ex-manager Slaven Bilic was sacked last month, while the experienced Sam Allardyce was appointed as new boss. His debut was terrific, the veteran coach managed to remain unbeaten against the reigning champions Liverpool. Even more, the 1:1 draw was obtain at Anfield. Once again Big Sam showed he is tough opponent for Jurgen Klopp. His tactic was simple, full defense in the first half, fast counter-attacks in the second, a tactic that shocked the leaders. Semi Ajayi was the hero after scored a dramatic late equalizer. It was his 8th goal since the start of the 2018/19 season. WBA, who were awful this season, have earned two points from their last two away matches. The opponents were no less than Liverpool and Manchester City, last season's champions and runners up. And just when the fans saw some hope, Sam Allardyce's men were humiliated in the match against Leeds United. An own-goal by midfielder Romaine Sawyers determined the final outcome of the match. West Brom lost 5:0 and I think the players confidence is low at the moment. Scoring goals is a problem as they have only 11, while conceded 35, the worst goal difference in England's top four tiers. In addition, they will be handicapped as Jake Livermore is serving the last of his three-match suspension, while few more players are struggling with injury. Conor Townsend is definitely sidelined through injury, while Kieran Gibbs is rated as doubtful to play against his former teammates. Finally, Kyle Bartley and Hal Robson-Kanu are likely to be unavailable.

This is an awful season for Arsenal. They are on the 13th place with 20 points. The fans are disappointed as their club are closer to the relegation zone than to the Champions League spots. Manager Mikel Arteta, who replaced Unai Emery, also came under big pressure following the bad results. The former PSG coach Thomas Tuchel has being linked with the Arsenal job after he was sacked by Paris Saint-Germain on Christmas Eve. Tuchel is looking for a new job and according to reports by Bild, the 47-year-old tactician has already decided he wants to work in England. But when everything looked hopeless for Arteta, his men did a great job beating the London rivals Chelsea. Arsenal played very good match and won 3:1 thanks to goals from Alexandre Lacazette, Granit Xhaka and Bukayo Saka. German keeper Leno should also be mentioned for the saved penalty. In the last round they registered another success, an 1:0 win at Brighton. French striker Alexandre Lacazette, who came in as substitute in the 66th minute, scored his third goal in three games. He scored 29 seconds after entering the pitch, the quickest goal by an Arsenal substitute in the Premier League. Bukayo Saka should also be mentioned for the assist. It was his 15th in all competitions since the start of the last season. The victory in this fixture could be very important for the Gunners, as three of their next four matches in all competitions are at home. Plus, knowing the opponents are Crystal Palace and twice Newcastle (once in the Premier League, once in the FA Cup), they could be declared as potentially-winnable fixtures. Arteta has some injury worries ahead of this match. The Spaniard is still missing Thomas Partey due to a muscle injury, as well as Reiss Nelson. Gabriel Magalhaes was recently tested positive for coronavirus and must stay in isolation. Willian and David Luiz are available following their recovery, while Bukayo Saka is expected to be fit despite picking up a slight problem against Brighton.

West Bromwich Albion vs Arsenal Prediction:

West Bromwich suffered a heavy defeat in the last match. They lost 5:0 to Leeds United and the players confidence is low. Arsenal are in very good form, they won back-to-back league matches against Chelsea and Brighton. Having on mind Arteta has longer roster, something very important in the busy festive period, I think Arsenal are closer to the victory.

West Bromwich Albion vs Arsenal Pick: Arsenal @ 1.65 with Pinnacle

Southampton vs Liverpool Preview:

Possible starting lineups:

Southampton:
McCarthy; Walker-Peters, Bednarek, Stephens, Bertrand; Armstrong, Ward-Prowse, Romeu, Walcott; Adams, Ings

Liverpool:
Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Phillips, Fabinho, Robertson; Thiago, Henderson, Wijnaldum; Salah, Firmino, Mane

Southampton will try to take advantage of the champions current poor form. The Saints are sharing the seventh place with three other teams - Aston Villa, Chelsea and West Ham. They all have 26 points, but a victory here could see Southampton sharing the fourth position. It is clear the players will enter the match fully motivated. They are unbeaten on the last two matches in the Premier League, drawing on both occasions. What is interesting to be mentioned, both matches finished goalless. Southampton have recorded back-to-back goalless draws in the Premier League for the first time since October 2018 under Mark Hughes. They could record three in a row for the first time in their league history. The away draw at Fulham did not satisfy the fans. Southampton scored twice, but VAR correctly ruled both efforts out, with Shane Long offside before scoring and Che Adams also offside prior to teeing up Theo Walcott's close-range finish. The Saints were handicapped as they played without Oriol Romeu, Jannik Vestergaard and Danny Ings. In the last round Ralph Hasenhuttl's men played 0:0 with West Ham. Austrian coach had to work from home via a video link, as he was self-isolating after a member of his household tested positive for coronavirus. Hasenhuttl should be back for this match, but has some injury worries. Jannik Vestergaard and Nathan Redmond remain sidelined and that's a handicap. Alex McCarthy has tested positive for COVID-19 and must spend some time in isolation.

Liverpool are still leaders on the table, but Manchester United also have 33 points. It is clear they are not superior like the previous season. The Reds have failed to win seven of their 16 league matches, more they did in the entire 2019/20. The key reason for this poor results is the injury situation. Klopp has no central defender available. Virgil van Dijk and Joe Gomez are long-term injury victims, while the third option Joel Matip suffered an adductor injury against WBA two rounds ago.. The last season fourth option Dejan Lovren left the club during summer to join Russian champions Zenit St Petersburg. Klopp is forced to to play with Fabinho -originally midfielder - on that position, while Jordan Henderson also was in that role in some matches. And of course, inexperienced youngsters like Rhys Williams and Nathaniel Phillips. According to me, it is a small miracle the Reds sit first on the table. But the away form is huge problem this season. They have won just two of the seven matches on road in the Premier League. In the last round Liverpool played just a goalless draw with Newcastle at St James Park. Mohamed Salah missed two key opportunities either side of half-time, Fabian Schar denied Sadio Mane a tap-in with a timely clearance off the goalline in the 80th minute. Roberto Firmino had excellent chance in the finish, but his header was superbly denied by goalkeeper Darlow. For this match Klopp remain without Van Dijk, Gomez and Matip and that's a huge handicap. Naby Keita is also unavailable, as well as Diogo Jota and Kostas Tsimikas. Thiago Alcantara came from the bench against Newcastle, and the Spanish international should start from the first minute here.

Southampton vs Liverpool Prediction:


I don't expect an efficient match at St Mary's. Southampton didn't score or concede a single goal on the last two matches. Liverpool, meanwhile, have lot of issues when play away from home. The disappointing 0:0 with Newcastle in the last round is clear indicator they aren't superior like the previous season. Key striker Mohamed Salah looks de-focused after his last interview in which mentioned his wish to play for Real or Barcelona. Liverpool away problems will continue.
