But who’s playing who and which teams can you put your money on?

Liverpool vs. Leicester
The Reds are still favorites to win a first Premier League title in the club’s history. They’ve needed to be on their toes since their first loss of the season to Manchester City. They have made their home-ground a fortress and this was made evident by their 4-3 win over Crystal Palace.

Southampton vs. Crystal Palace
It is not the most popular game on the MatchDay 24 fixture list. However, both sides have been in an imperious goal-scoring form of late. Southampton scored twice in their last four games in all competitions. Only one of the Eagles’ last five games ended with a lone goal being scored.
-
Wolves vs. West Ham
It’s the kind of fixture that looks like a bag of goals from a distance. But the history between both sides suggests otherwise. While both sides have two wins to their names from the last five meetings, only one of those games produced over 2,5 goals.

Newcastle vs. Manchester City
How do you plan to play against a side that has not conceded a goal in over 550+ minutes of playing football? That’s the question at hand for Newcastle as they welcome the Citizens. However, that’s not the only headache they have to deal with. They have to figure out a way to keep the most prolific side in England at bay, a side that has scored 28 goals in its last six games.
