Newcastle United
They are the seventeenth in the table of the League, with 6 points away from relegation. They are full of ambitions, which can be seen in recent games. They win over Burnley at 2-1 with one goal down in the beginning and draw with Tottenham Hotspur at 2-2 unexpectedly.
West Ham United
They are the fourth in League table, with just one point away from the third, Leicester City. They have almost been unbeaten in recent games except two defeats from Manchester Derby. But they are weak in away game, with 47% winning percentage.
Verdict:
There is a big gap between Newcastle United and West Ham United. However, Newcastle United have never been defeated by West Ham United in past 4 head-to-head clashes. They even get a 2-0 clean sheet from West Ham United at 2-0 this season. So the result of the game is suggested to be a draw.

Everton vs Tottenham Preview:
Possible starting lineups:
Everton:
Pickford; Holgate, Godfrey, Keane; Coleman, Allan, Sigurdsson, Digne; Rodriguez; Calvert-Lewin, Richarlison
Tottenham:
Lloris; Aurier, Alderweireld, Rodon, Reguilon; Hojbjerg, Sissoko; Lucas, Ndombele, Son; Kane
Everton welcome Tottenham in one of the most interesting fixtures this weekend in the Premier League. The Toffees have 48 points and sit on the 8th place. What is important to be mentioned is they have a match in hand. They could go much closer to the Champions League spots, so this match is extremely important for Ancelotti's men. But the actual form isn't at desired level, they have no victory on the last four league games. Everton lost to Chelsea and Burnley, while shared the points on the last two matches. The goalless draw away to Brighton could somehow be swallowed, but the home draw with Crystal Palace was simply a failure. That is why Everton must go for victory here. Ancelotti already admitted he is "dreaming" of Champions League, so this is an excellent opportunity to prove they are genuine candidates. Indeed, Everton have never played in the group stage of the Champions League, missing out in 2005/06 after a 4:2 aggregate loss to Villarreal in the third qualifying round. However, with 8 matches to go, the Toffees have a decent chance. Ancelotti has some injury worries ahead of this match. Bernard, Jean-Philippe Gbamin, Fabian Delph and Abdoulaye Doucoure are out injured, as well as Yerry Mina. Dominic Calvert-Lewin, who missed the match against Brighton due to an abductor problem, is rated as doubtful. Allan, Andre Gomes and Jordan Pickford should recover in time for this match.
Tottenham are one place and one point ahead of Everton, meaning they are seventh with 49 points. The Spurs are six points away from the Champions League spots, so heavily depends on other results. The fans are not satisfied, they were expecting more from Jose Mourinho. They regularly finished between Top-4 during the Pochettino reign. Mourinho will try to mark the season as successful if they lift the League Cup trophy. Nevertheless, it won't be easy considering the fact they will face Manchester City in the final of the EFL Cup at the end of April. But even if they win, I think the fans won't be pleased as they were expecting, at least, to see their team competitive for the first placein the Premier League. The painful elimination from UEFA Europa League is another disappointment. Losing 3:0 to Dinamo Zagreb was very painful. The actual form is poor, they have no victory in the last two rounds. First they dropped two points at St James Park playing a 2:2 draw with Newcastle, while then suffered a 3:1 defeat from Manchester United. Even worse, the defeat came at home. I believe the players confidence is low and that's a big problem for Mourinho. In addition, he is still without full-backs Ben Davies and Matt Doherty through injury. The Special One will probably decide to make some changes, with Toby Alderweireld and Moussa Sissoko in line for start. Son Heung-min and Harry Kane will lead the line.
Everton vs Tottenham Prediction:
I expect Under 2.5 goals at Goodison Park. Both teams are out of form at the moment. Everton are winless on four matches, while Tottenham on two. The players confidence isn't high in both teams. The last mutual results are supporting my pick - only 4 goals were scored on the last three mutual games in the Premier League and all of them finished with Under 2.5 goals. However, the key reason for my pick is connect with the managers. Both Ancelotti and Mourinho are excellent tacticians that use defense as a base for their tactic. I think there will be less than three goals..

Arsenal vs Fulham Preview:
Possible starting lineups:
Arsenal:
Leno; Bellerin, Holding, Mari, Xhaka; Partey, Elneny; Willian, Ceballos, Martinelli; Lacazette
Fulham:
Areola; Aina, Andersen, Adarabioyo; Tete, Lemina, Reed, Robinson; Cordova-Reid, Loftus-Cheek; Mitrovic
Arsenal will host relegation candidates Fulham at the Emirats. The atmosphere in home squad is very good after the last results. The Gunners are sitting on the 9th place with 45 points, and a possible victory here won't bring them a higher place as Everton have 49 points. The actual form is good, they are in mini series of two victories across all competitions. First they beat Sheffield United with 3:0 last weekend. Alexandre Lacazette was the 'Man of the Match' after scored a brace, while Martinelli also found the back of the net. On Thursday they obtained another victory, this time in Europa. Arsenal secured a semi-final in Europa League after beat Slavia Prague with 4:0. The Gunners produced one of their best performances of the campaign to secure a comfortable away victory. Arteta's men were under big pressure after Slavia remained unbeaten at the Emirats seven days before, but showed the class in Czech Republic. Once again Lacazette was the key name as he scored another brace, while Pepe and Saka also found the back of the net. Emile Smith Rowe should also be mentioned, he registered his seventh assist in all competitions this season, the joint-most with Willian. I believe the players confidence is very high at the moment. To be more interesting, they will face Villarreal, managed by former Arsenal boss Unai Emery. Arteta will probably rotate the players for this match. The Spaniard also has some players unavailable. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is hospitalised with malaria, while David Luiz and Kieran Tierney are out injured. Martin Odegaard is rated as doubtful. Emile Smith Rowe and Bukayo Saka played very good against Slavia, but Arteta will probably rest them.
Relegation-threatened Fulham will try to upset the favorites here. They showed spirit previously and add some big names to their list. For example, Fulham beat Liverpool at Anfield, Everton at Goodison Park and Leicester City at King Power. It is clear they won't afraid of Arsenal. The Cottagers have 26 points and they are in the drop zone. A series of good results in February gave hope to the fans, but the last results are awful. Fulham are in series of four defeats and the situation doesn't look good. It is clear they need some improvement in the attack - three goals on the last seven matches isn't a promising record. The atmosphere in the squad is poor, while the players confidence is low. Scott Parker, who will celebrate his 100th match as Fulham manager in all competitions, has a difficult job to get something from this match. Even worse, the London derbies are not Fulham's strong side. The Cottagers are winless in 22 Premier League London derbies, since a 2:1 home win against West Ham on New Year's Day 2014. Key striker Aleksandar Mitrovic has played in 16 city derbies and suffered 14 defeats, with only two draws. Parker has some additional issues as defender Terence Kongolo suffered a knee injury in last week's home defeat to Wolverhampton. Parker said the Dutch left-back will have surgery and could miss three months. Kongolo was making his first Premier League appearance of the season against Wolves having spent nearly a year out with a foot injury suffered in February 2020. Tom Cairney is also sidelined, while Marek Rodak is rated as doubtful. On the positive note, Ademola Lookman, who missed the last match with a hamstring issue, has recovered.
Arsenal vs Fulham Prediction:
Fulham are on a run of six successive defeats against Arsenal. The Gunners have won the past three league meetings with high results. It was 3:0 in September, while the last season's matches finished 4:1 and 5:1 for Arsenal. I expect a high scoring match again. Fulham are in the relegation zone and they must try to win. Even a point isn't good enough considering the fact they are six points away from the safe zone. According to me, at least three goals should be scored.

Tottenham host Southampton in North London in Wednesday's Premier League clash. This is the first match for the Spurs since Jose Mourinho's departure. The Special One was sacked after just 17 months in charge. He replaced Mauricio Pochettino in November 2019 and guided the club to 6th in the Premier League last season. Tottenham fans were not satisfied with the results of their team who currently occupy the seventh place, having picked up two points from their past three matches in the Premier League. To be worse, the Spurs were knocked out of the Europa League after losing 3:0 to the Croatian side Dinamo Zagreb. However, Mourinho secured the League Cup final with Manchester City on 25 April. This is the only chance for silverware this season for Tottenham, but the club officials were not impressed. Mourinho is between the most successful European coaches. He won number of trophies with Manchester United, Chelsea, Real Madrid, Inter Milan and Porto. Mourinho's last match in charge was the draw at Everton on Friday. Former midfielder Ryan Mason, who has been working with the club's youth categories, will lead the team for the rest of the season. According to me, his inexperience could be a big problem. In addition, the best scorer Harry Kane is out with ankle problem. His absence is a big handicap, he is simply irreplaceable.
Southampton are on the 14th place with 36 points. It is clear this season wasn't good for them. They were excellent in the first part of the season, even spent some time on the first place, but the results in 2021 are awful. The Saints have lost 11 of their last 14 matches in the Premier League. In that series Hasenhuttl's men beat only two teams, the bottom-placed Sheffield United and Burnley, while shared the points with Chelsea. Southampton lost to Leicester City, Arsenal, Aston Villa, Manchester United, Newcastle, Wolverhampton, Leeds United, Everton, Manchester City, Brighton and West Bromwich. Their tally of 10 points from 15 matches since the turn of the year is the fewest out of all 20 Premier League clubs. The away form is particularly poor, they have conceded 8 goals on the last two away league matches. On Sunday they were eliminated from the FA Cup. Southampton suffered a narrow 1:0 defeat to Leicester City in front of 4,000 fans at Wembley and finished the fans' hopes of cup trophy. To be worse, Hasenhuttl has some injury issues ahead of the match. Midfielder Oriol Romeu will miss the rest of the season with an ankle injury. Takumi Minamino, who was ineligible for the FA Cup match against Leicester, should return to the starting eleven here. Will Smallbone and Michael Obafemi remain out of contention too. James Ward-Prowse, Danny Ings and Theo Walcott were all fit to start against Burnley last weekend, so Hasenhuttl has some "sweet issues" about the starting lineup.
Tottenham vs Southampton Prediction:
I don't expect an efficient match in North London. There are three reasons for my pick. First is connect with Tottenham. New boss Ryan Mason will like to impress on his debut. He will try to win the match, but most of all, he will try not to lose. The second reason is again connect with the hosts. They will play without the best scorer Harry Kane due to injury. And finally, the last reason is connect with the guests. Southampton are in poor form at the moment. Not only the lost the previous two matches, but failed to score a single goal against West Bromwich and Leicester City.

Possible starting lineupps:
Leicester City:
Schmeichel; Fofana, Evans, Soyuncu; Albrighton, Ndidi, Tielemans, Castagne; Maddison; Vardy, Iheanacho

Leicester City will try to secure the victory against relegation candidates West Bromwich Albion at King Power Stadium. The Foxes are currently on the third position with 56 points, but Chelsea and West Ham are just one point behind. There are more teams looking for Champions League spots, like Liverpool, Tottenham and Everton. There is no space for any relaxation and three points from this match are extremely important. But the actual form is bad, Brendan Rodgers' men have suffered defeats on the last two Premier League fixtures. They lost 2:0 to Manchester City and lost 3:2 to West Ham. The fans are afraid that last season could be repeated, when their team collapsed towards the end of тхе season and missed out a top-four finish. If something could be rated as positive, that's the victory over Southampton in the FA Cup during the weekend. Leicester secured the final after narrowly won 1:0 thanks to Kelechi Iheanacho's goal in the 55th minute. The match was played in front of 4,000 socially-distanced spectators at Wembley. This is the first FA Cup final for Leicester City in 52 years. But the final with Chelsea must be forgotten now and the players should be fully focused on the Premier League. Rodgers is still without James Justin and Harvey Barnes due to injuries, while two more players are rated as doubtful - Ricardo Pereira, who limped off against Southampton and Wes Morgan, who's struggling with a lower back problem. Both will face a late fitness tests.
West Bromwich Albion are in very difficult situation. They are in the drop zone, second from the bottom with 24 points. At the moment they are huge 9 points away from the safety. However, the last results are good. WBA managed to register two consecutive victories. First they shocked Chelsea at Stamford Bridge. It is hard to believe, but West Brom won 5:2. The Baggies were fantastic and deserved the victory. Matheus Pereira and Callum Robinson have both scored brace, while Mbaye Diagne also found the back of the net. Robinson became the first player in the Premier League history to score at least twice in home and away games against Chelsea within a single season. Goalkeeper Johnstone should also be mentioned, but not only for his saves. He is the first keeper to provide a Premier League assist for West Bromwich. Sam Allardyce also wrote the history as he become the first manager to win against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge in the Premier League with three different clubs - Bolton, Crystal Palace and West Bromwich Albion. Last weekend was also successful for the Baggies. They outplayed Southampton at the Hawthorns and won 3:0. Two goals in three first-half minutes through Matheus Pereira and Matt Phillips put West Brom in control, while Callum Robinson scored the third. This was the biggest home win for WBA in the Premier League since November 2016. Matt Phillips, who arrived in the club in season 2016/17, has scored 20 league goals, more than any other player currently at the team. I will once again praise Sam Johnstone. He became the first goalkeeper to save a penalty in the Premier League since Boaz Myhill against Manchester United in May 2015. The atmosphere in the squad is excellent, while the players confidence is very high. Most of the players are ready, only the veteran Branislav Ivanovic is sidelined with injury.
Leicester City vs West Bromwich Albion Prediction:
West Bromwich will not give up easily. The players confidence is very high after the victories against Chelsea and Southampton in which they scored 8 goals. There is no space for calculations, they must go for the victory at King Power. WBA have an excellent H2H record, they are unbeaten in their last nine visits to Leicester. The hosts also need three points from this match, so I expect an open and efficient encounter.

There is no space for calculations, they must go for the victory at King Power. WBA have an excellent H2H record, they are unbeaten in their last nine visits to Leicester. The hosts also need three points from this match, so I expect an open and efficient encounter.
Leicester City vs West Bromwich Albion Pick: Over 2.5 goals @ 1.95 with Pinnacle
