Everton
They have ranked the top of table this season once. But then they down to the seventh. Although they are full of ambitions, there is not enough quality in the team. Unfortunately, their key player, Dominic Calvert-Lewin is injured, which has an effect on their playing more or less.
Southampton
It is surprising that they lose to Leeds United at 3-0 in last game. They are in low morale as they have been winless for eight matches. It is because eight of their players are suspend due to injury. Now they are fourteenth in the table of the League.
Verdict:
There is no big gap between Everton and Southampton. Southampton get a 2-0 clean sheet from Everton this season before. So Southampton are more likely to win in the upcoming game.
Everton VS Southampton
Prediction: 1-1, 0-1

Manchester City vs Wolverhampton Preview:
Possible starting lineups:
Manchester City:
Ederson; Cancelo, Stones, Dias, Zinchenko; De Bruyne, Rodri, Gundogan; Bernardo, Sterling, Foden
Wolverhampton:
Patricio; Dendoncker, Coady, Saiss; Semedo, Neves, Moutinho, Jonny; Adama Traore, Willian Jose, Neto
Manchester City are big favorites against Wolverhampton Wanderers at Etihad Stadium. The Citizens are leaders on the table with 62 points. They are in terrific form, winning 14 in a row in the Premier League. Pep Guardiola will be looking to continue the successful series. As You probably know, they didn't started the season according to the expectations, but managed to improved and now looks they will be the new champions. Pep Guardiola's men beat Southampton, Newcastle, Chelsea, Brighton, Crystal Palace, Aston Villa, West Browich, Sheffield United, Burnley, Liverpool, Tottenham, Everton, Arsenal and West Ham in the process. The last victory was deserved, but at the same time hard-fought. Interesting to be mentioned, the goals were scored by central defenders Ruben Dias and John Stones. Dias scored his first goal for Manchester City, becoming their 19th different scorer this season. They have had more different scorers than any other Premier League side in all competitions in the current season. City were also successful in the Carabao Cup, they will play in the final against Tottenham. They are going well in the FA Cup too, but Guardiola's most wanted trophy is the Champions League. The Citizens are in good position to reach the quarter-finals after they beat the German side Borussia M'Gladbach with 2:0 in the first-leg match. According to many pundits, Manchester City are on the way to become the first club to complete the quadruple. Guardiola has the majority of his players available for this match only Nathan Ake remain sidelined through injury. Some changes are possible due to the busy schedule. Raheem Sterling, Bernardo Silva, Benjamin Mendy and Aymeric Laporte did not play a single minute on Saturday, so they will likely to start here. Sergio Aguero, who started his first Premier League game since October, should be rested now.
Wolverhampton will try to continue their positive run when they visit the league leaders on Tuesday. The Wolves have 34 points and sit on the 12th place, The current form is very good, they have three victories and two draws on the last five matches in the Premier League. Manager Nuno Espirito Santo, who came under big pressure in January, could enjoy the moment now. Wolverhampton managed to beat Arsenal with 2:1, then played a goalless draw with Leicester City before obtaining two victories. The Wolves beat Southampton at St Mary and Leeds United at Moulinex. Both victories were narrow, but deserved - 2:1 against the Saints and 1:0 against the Whites. Ruben Neves and Pedro Neto scored the goals in Southampton, while an own-goal from one of Leeds players decided the other match. On Saturday Wolverhampton played an 1:1 draw with Newcastle. They were one goal down after 52 minutes, but Ruben Neves, who had never scored a headed goal for Wolves before, equalized that way in the 73rd minute. Pedro Neto, who assisted Neves, should also be mentioned - he has been directly involved in 10 Premier League goals this season after scoring five and assisting five more. Nuno named the same starting eleven in three consecutive league games for the first time since January 2020. Nevertheless, I think he needs fresh legs for this one. Fabio Silva and Rayan Ait-Nouri are the two players pushing hardest to be involved from the first minute after featuring off the bench on Saturday. Four players remain sidelined - Fernando Marcal, Willy Boly, Raul Jimenez and Daniel Podence. At the end I will mention this will be Nuno's 103rd Premier League game as Wolves manager, most of all previous coaches. Mick McCarthy is second on the list with 101 matches in charge in the competition.
Manchester City vs Wolverhampton Prediction:
Manchester City have not dropped a point since 15 December and have taken control of the title race. They have 12-point advantage, with 12 games remaining. I have no doubts they will score, so the question is about Wolverhampton - are they able to find the back of the net. I think so, for two reasons. First, they are in good form. Second, Man City they have conceded on two of the last three league matches.

Liverpool vs Chelsea Preview:
Possible starting lineups:
Liverpool:
Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Phillips, Fabinho, Robertson; Thiago, Wijnaldum, Jones; Salah, Firmino, Mane
Chelsea:
Mendy; Azpilicueta, Christensen, Rudiger; James, Kante, Kovacic, Alonso; Mount, Abraham, Werner
Liverpool welcome Chelsea at Anfield in a derby match of the round. At the same time this is a very important game in Top-4 race. Liverpool are in big crisis, regardless of the fact they won the last match against Sheffield United on Sunday. Overall, they have four defeats on the last five matches in the Premier League. What is worse, three of these four defeats came at Anfield. The Reds suffered home defeats to Brighton, Manchester City and Everton, plus a 3:1 loss to Leicester City at King Power Stadium. Liverpool look a long way from the team that won the title last seasons. Worst of all, Anfield is not a fortress anymore. On contrary, they haven't won a home fixture since mid-December when they beat Tottenham thanks to the stoppage time goal from Firmino Six matches after that have produced four defeats and just two draws. It is hard to believe they managed to score just two goals in the process. The attacking trio of Salah, FIrmino and Mane look impotent. Many pundits are debating the reasons for such fall, but according to me, it is the injury situation. As You probably know, all available central defenders are out injured. Virgil van Dijk, Joe Gomez and Joel Matip are long-term injury victims. Fabinho and Henderson, two midfielders that played as centre-backs for most of the time this season, are also struggling with injury. In fact, Henderson will be unavailable for at least two months, while Fabinho has recover and could play here. The new acquisition Ozan Kabak, who came from Schalke in January, had a nightmare debut. It is clear he need time for adaptation, but the matches are coming very quickly. Diogo Jota has returned to full training, but skipped the match against Sheffield due to illness. According to the latest news, Jota should be on the bench here. Goalkeeper Alisson Becker did not play the last game due the tragic death of his father in a swimming accident in Brazil.
Chelsea are also outside Top 4, but a positive result here will prove they are back in contention for the Champions League spots. New manager Thomas Tuchel, who replaced the club legend Frank Lampard, is doing an excellent job. He has won four and drawn three of the seven matches in charge. Chelsea have beat Newcastle, Sheffield United, Tottenham and Burnley, while shared the points with Wolverhampton, Southampton and Manchester United in the last round. The goalless draw at Stamford Bridge was a disappointing game in terms of quality, considering it was second against fifth. Both teams have got much more quality than they showed us there. The busy schedule could be a reason as the players from both teams were tired after playing in Europe during the midweek. In the circumstances, a draw was not a disaster for Chelsea either. The Blues were also successful in the cup competitions. They beat Atletico Madrid 1:0 as guests in the Champions League and the quarter-finals look very close. I believe the players confidence is much higher after that victory. They also secured the FA Cup quarter-finals after beat Barnsley. Knowing the next rivals are bottom-placed Sheffield United, I believe the Blues are very close to the final stage of the European oldest competition. Tuchel has the majority of first-team players ready for this match, only the defender Thiago Silva is doubtful with a muscular problem. He is now back in training but this derby could come too soon for him. Hudson-Odoi was taken off at half time against Manchester United and will be assessed ahead of this match. Tuchel could rotate the players as fresh legs are welcome - Reece James, Christian Pulisic, Werner, Marcos Alonso, Kurt Zouma, Kai Havertz and Jorginho were all on the bench against Manchester United for the weekend. At the end I will mention that Chelsea have not won a league game at Anfield since 2014.
Liverpool vs Chelsea Prediction:
Liverpool are in must win situation. Four successive top-flight defeats have left them in sixth place, 19 points behind leaders Manchester City. The title is lost, but the Reds are out of the Champions League spots. That is why the victory in this match is imperative. I expect full offensive from their side. But Klopp has big defensive issues this season. All three recognized central defenders are out injured, even their replacements are struggling. Nat Phillips and Ozan Kabak, who played on the last match, have formed the Reds' 18th different centre-back partnership of the season. Chelsea have quality players and I expect to take advantage from that situation. At least they are able to score, so I expect goals from both sides.
