Premier League Predictions & Tips – Saturday 15th March & Sunday 16th March

Manchester City vs Brighton – Erling Haaland Anytime Goalscorer & Over 3.5 Goals

Manchester City’s defence has been ripped apart by injuries, with Nathan Ake joining John Stones and Manuel Akankji on the sidelines, and there seems every chance that Brighton could enjoy some away-day joy in front of goal.

Phil Foden should be pulling the strings at the other end for City, with Erling Haaland as the focal point of the home attack, so a high-scoring match seems on the cards at the Etihad.

City are desperate to qualify for Champions League football and should adopt an ultra-attacking approach from the off.

Bournemouth vs Brentford – Bournemouth to Win & Evanilson Anytime Goalscorer

The team spirit of Bournemouth is there for all to see – the Cherries have battled superbly through an injury crisis – and home fans will turn up at the Vitality Stadium on Saturday evening expecting to see their side triumph.

Nottingham Forest supporters are in a good position to judge how dangerous Bournemouth can be when they start knocking the ball around the Vitality pitch.

Forest, riding high in the Premier League, were destroyed 5-0 by a rampant Bournemouth at the end of January.

Evanilson is back in business for Bournemouth and the Brazilian ace can be fancied to get on the scoresheet against Brentford.

Arsenal vs Chelsea – Draw & BTTS

A score draw could be on the cards when Arsenal host Chelsea in a London derby on Sunday.

Arsenal’s title challenge has weakened severely after three consecutive winless games and Chelsea are capable of further agonising Mikel Arteta’s men.

Arteta has been unable to call upon his preferred front three since December, so Arsenal’s attacking threat has been subdued, but nine goals over two Champions League meetings with PSV Eindhoven this month have restored some confidence.

Cole Palmer was struggling with illness in the lead-up to Chelsea’s victory over Leicester last Sunday.

The England international seems likely to be back to fitness for the trip to Arsenal, so should take his place at the heart of the visiting attack.

Chelsea have failed to score in only one of their last six away games in all competitions.

Leicester vs Man United – Draw & BTTS

Earlier this season Ruud van Nistelrooy was managing lots of Manchester United players who he will be up against as Leicester manager on Sunday evening. The Dutchman may be able to identify some weaknesses that the Foxes can exploit.
