Game Preview   When Tottenham plays Southampton at St. Mary’s Stadium on Saturday, they will be trying to maintain their Champions League spot. Spurs had no trouble defeating Nottingham Forest 3-1, but if they want to finish in the top four, they must keep improving. The Saints, on the other hand, drew 0-0 with a reduced Manchester United squad at the weekend, but despite the tie, they were still in last place.   Apart from a dismal FA Cup defeat to fourth-tier Grimsby Town, Southampton’s results under new manager Ruben Selles have been encouraging, including a narrow 1-0

    Game Preview   Brentford will take on Leicester on Saturday afternoon looking to bounce back in the Premier League after a 1-0 setback to Everton. This season, the Bees have performed admirably at home. In contrast, Leicester struggled mightily defensively in a 3-1 loss to Chelsea, and given that Brentford is a formidable opponent at home, we do not think the visitors will be able to gain anything from the game.   Unfortunately for the Bees, Everton ended their extraordinary league unbeaten streak of 12 games on Sunday at Goodison Field with a 1-0 victory over the Bees.

    Game Preview   On Saturday, Bournemouth travels to Aston Villa on a wave of momentum that could enable them to escape the bottom three with a different outcome. The 1-0 victory over Liverpool by the 18th-place Cherries will have them excited to visit Villa Park, where a victory could push them up to three points above the bottom three.   Prior to their Premier League matchup, Aston Villa received a warning from former Premier League manager Harry Redknapp regarding two Bournemouth players. By defeating Liverpool 1-0 in the opening game of the weekend, the Cherries moved up from

    Game Preview   In the evening match of this Saturday’s Premier League action, Graham Potter’s significantly better Chelsea team takes on Everton, with the managers of both teams keen for three points to build on and maintain their recent improvement in form.   The ex-Brighton manager has struggled to make an impact in the hot seat at Stamford Bridge since taking over as the Blues manager back in September, as has been well-documented.   Chelsea had gone seven weeks without a victory until their tense 1-0 triumph over Leeds on March 4th. Yet, they have had some success

    Game Preview   Newcastle United will play Nottingham Forest in the Premier League on Friday night at the City Ground in an effort to increase their chances of qualifying for the Champions League the following season. The Tricky Trees haven’t lost a league game at home since last October, while the Magpies have yet to win away in the top tier in 2023.   Just five points separate the bottom nine teams in the table, and Nottingham Forest have only won once in their previous seven Premier League games. This has led to one of the most intense

    Game Preview   Newcastle will be looking to come back into form after a 2-0 loss against Man City when they go head to head versus Wolverhampton in the 27th round of Premier League action. The Magpies have failed to win their last 5 league matches, but looking at their available squad they are more than capable of beatingWolves, especially at home. Both Alexander Isak and Allan Saint-Maximin are pushing for a start with first having a true possibility for it, while Joelinton is unfortunately banned for this matchup. Emil Krafth has yet to recover from a tough

  Game Preview   Manchester City will look to keep their title hopes alive when they travel to Selhurst Park to face Crystal Palace on Saturday evening. The Citizens have won 4 out of their last 5 domestic matches, while the Eagles are still in the lookout for their first win in 2023.   Right after 3 consecutive draws versus Brighton & Hove Albion, Brentford and Liverpool, the Eagles took a tough 1-0 loss against Aston Villa last weekend, due to a Joachim Andersen own goal. Cheick Doucoure’s 2 yellow cards within 5 minutes did not help the situation, and

    Game Preview Chelsea will face Leicester this Saturday afternoon looking to continue their momentum from the last 2 matches. The Blues have won 2 consecutive games for the first time in 5 months, with the second win coming in against a well set up Borussia Dortmund in Champions League action.   Leicester is in a polar opposite situation, a recent defeat to fellow relegation side Southampton has placed more pressure on Brendan Rodgers to deliver results. The Foxes are 2 points and a couple of tough matchups away from the red zone.   On top of recent struggles,

  Game Preview   Brighton & Hove Albion are on the hunt for European football as they prepare for an away game at Elland Road to play against relegation-threatened Leeds United, on Saturday Premier League action.   The Whites will be looking for revenge against the Seagulls after being defeated 1-0 in their previous meeting at the Amex Stadium in August 2022. Javi Gracia has made an instant impact at the helm of Leeds, mainly thanks to a crucial 1-0 win over fellow relegation team Southampton in his debut match. Nevertheless, the Whites were quickly struck down to reality with

    Game Preview   Everton fans are not looking forward to hosting Brentford at Goodison Park, in a crucial Premier League match with implications on both sides of the table. The home side are struggling to find a way to keep their top flight spot secured by the end of the season, while the visitors have the possibility of achieving European football for next season.   For the second consecutive season, Everton has somehow found themselves entangled in yet another possible relegation battle, despite placing as one of the highest spending clubs in the league over the last 10
