Premier League Predictions & Tips – Saturday 8th March & Sunday 9th March

Crystal Palace vs Ipswich Town – Both Teams to Score & Eddie Nketiah Anytime Goalscorer

Both teams to score has landed in Palace’s last eight home games in the league and in Ipswich’s previous seven matches in all competitions, while these two have kept just 10 clean sheets between them in the top flight this season.

Eagles forward Eddie Nketiah has scored in his last two appearances, coming off the bench both times, and he is in line for a rare start because of the head injury Jean-Philippe Mateta suffered against Millwall in the FA Cup fifth round.

Brighton vs Fulham – Yankuba Minteh 1+ Shots on Target + Antonee Robinson & Sander Berge 1+ Fouls Each

Brighton winger Yankuba Minteh has had at least one shot on target in his last four appearances in all competitions and has forced the goalkeeper into a save in seven of his previous 10 outings.

Fulham full-back Antonee Robinson has committed one or more fouls in his last four matches and in seven of his previous eight appearances. Midfielder Sander Berge has also been getting stuck in for the Cottagers, having made a minimum of one foul in six of his last eight games.

Chelsea vs Leicester – Moises Caicedo to be Booked & Caleb Okoli 1+ Fouls

Chelsea midfielder Moises Caicedo has been booked in each of his last four appearances in all competitions, taking his tally to 10 for the season. The Ecuador international has been cautioned in five of his last six top-flight outings and leads his club’s booking charts.

Leicester defender Caleb Okoli has made at least one foul in his last four matches and he could be in for a long afternoon against a Chelsea side boasting plenty of pace and fighting hard for a Champions League spot.

Man United vs Arsenal – Harry Maguire to be Booked

These two played out a fiery FA Cup encounter in January, a match that ended with six yellows and a red being shown as Manchester United won on penalties. English centre-back Harry Maguire was one of those players to go in the book, meaning he has been cautioned in his last two appearances against the Gunners.

The 32-year-old has been booked seven times in his career against Arsenal, and he has only been handed more yellows against one other opponent – Manchester City (10).
