The last 4 games of the 20th Premiership round
AFC Bournemouth vs. Arsenal
The Gunners got back on the winning row, after recording 2 consecutive victories in The Premier League. The Arsene Wenger’s players managed to win against West Bromwich (1-0) and vs. Crystal Palace (2-0). Now, Arsenal are to visit The Vitality Stadium – a place, where they have only played once. However, they recorded an easy 2-0 victory last season.
Moreover, Arsenal have won all the 3 games between these two teams. The Gunners bagged 3 goals against this opponent earlier this campaign. On the other hand, The Cherries have been playing well at home, having recorded 5 victories in 9 games! The Gunners will surely win the match, but it won’t be an easy one for them.
Crystal Palace vs. Swansea City
Sam Allardyce, the new manager of Crystal Palace, will have to give his best to improve the Eagles’ performance in The Premiership. Palace are among the teams in the worst form in the division, winning 2 points in the last 5 league matches. I am very interested in seeing Benteke brothers playing alongside in attack, but it won’t happen in the next game, as the younger brother is injured…
The Eagles must take advantage of the deep crisis in Swansea City’s performance! The Swans are at the bottom of the table, having only won 12 points in 19 matches. In addition, Swansea have the worst defence (alongside Hull City). They have conceded 44 goals! A draw won’t be a surprising result, because 4 of the last 6 matches between these two teams have finished at level terms (3 of these games finished with the correct score of 1-1)!
Stoke City vs. Watford
Only a point is separating these two teams in the standings of The Premier League! For sure, this match is among the most unpredictable games in the division. The Potters have won 11 games, while there have been 3 draws and 11 victories for The Hornets. You can try it 12 (double chance).
Walter Mazzarri has serious problems with injuries. The Watford players, who are ruled out for the match are Pereyra, Dja Djedje, Okaka, Mariappa, Behrami, Janmaat and Isaac Success. Even though, Stoke City aren’t much persuasive, when playing at home this season (3-3-3), I think this time they will overjoy their fans with a win over The Hornets.
Tottenham Hotspur vs. Chelsea
The Blues are on a run of 13 consecutive Premier League victories! The Antonio Conte’s players have kept a clean sheet on 11 occasions in 19 games. They have only conceded 13 goals (the best defence in the Premier League). However, they have also been very impressive in attack, having scored 42 goals in 19 matches! Diego Costa is in an incredible form, topping the goal-scorers’ table with 14 goals!
On the other hand, Tottenham have also been in a good shape. The Spurs have won their last 4 league matches, scoring 13 goals in them! In addition, Tottenham Hotspur are still unbeaten at home! They have won 7 and have finished with a draw twice. Will they finally lose at White Hart Lane?
Chelsea have won 4 of the last 7 competitive games between these two teams (2 draws and 1 win for The Spurs). The total record between Tottenham and Chelsea is 50-40-66. So, think twice before betting on this game!
