⚽⚽⚽⚽ SKY SPORTS PREMIER LEAGUE 8 PM WEST HAM v WOLVES The most pressure filled game of the season so far. With the managers of both teams under pressure for their jobs this game is going to be full of drama and there might be a big price to pay for the defeated team in this one. Both these teams need a win Wolves to climb away from the bottom of the table and West Ham getting dragged closer and closer to a relegation fight. This is going to be a really tense affair with both teams having a lot to play for I think this could be a tense draw.
⚽⚽⚽ 2.PM FULHAM v ARSENAL The Gunners are in a good place at the moment and look like they could be Liverpool’s closest challenge this season in the league but to do that they will have to to go to places like Fulham and win. It will not be easy for Arsenal as Fulham have given some great home performances but with playing on Thursday the team might be slightly jaded which is hard enough anyway let alone against a team like Arsenal who are flying. Am taking a Arsenal win to continue their pursuit of Liverpool. 4.30 PM TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR v CHELSEA This game is always a fiery affair and think this one is going to be exactly along those lines Chelsea are in pole position out the two teams and will also benefit from the extra days rest they have had as opposed to Spurs who played on the Thursday and with the injury situation at Spurs at the moment it’s going to be difficult for them on Sunday afternoon. Chelsea seem to be getting better and better and will go to the Spurs match full of confidence but Tottenham are so unpredictable I wouldn’t be surprised if they get a win out of this. SKY BET CHAMPIONSHIP 3.PM SHEFFIELD UTD v WBA A top of the table clash which should be a good one to watch with both teams wanting to go up without the battle of the play offs.
Just one more week till we get this party started! Not got that much needed mates get together booked in before Christmas? Then all meet up for a drink of your fav and enjoy our live music! #pubsinmanningtree #liveband #livemusic #pubsinessex #pubswithlivemusic #essexpubs #pubswithbands #pubswithmusic #music #manningtreepubs
⚽⚽⚽ TNT SPORTS/DISCOVERY+ 12.30 PM EVERTON v LIVERPOOL The league leaders will be disappointed to have thrown away two points in the draw at Newcastle but still are top of the league and are the team to beat. Everton before their midweek game might of been a bit fearful of this game but the 4-0 victory over Wolves would of given their confidence a big boost and possibly the glimmer of a chance in this Merseyside derby. Liverpool will always score goals and I can see that continuing in this match with a comprehensive win in the last ever Goodison league derby. SKY SPORTS 5.30 PM MAN UNITED v NOTTINGHAM FOREST The Reds laboured in their midweek defeat in their first real test under their new coach. Forest have conceded three goals in three of there last four games so will have to tighten up defensively. I can see Forest conceding goals in this one but maybe sneaking an Old Trafford win with a United team still getting used to there new coaches methods. SKY BET CHAMPIONSHIP ALL 12.30 PM LEEDS UTD v DERBY COUNTY SHEFFIELD WEDNESDAY v PRESTON NE SUNDERLAND v STOKE CITY Some excellent games from the Championship at Saturday l/time which will probably go through right to the end of the season before the promotion and relegation issues will be sorted. The LEEDS v DERBY game is the standout fixture with Leeds looking to cement themselves back at the top of the table. SKY BET LEAGUE ONE/TWO LINCOLN v CHARLTON WIGAN v ORIENT CREWE v BRADFORD PORT VALE v WALSALL Some interesting fixtures in league one & two for the football enthusiasts.
⚽⚽⚽ SKY SPORTS SKY BET CHAMPIONSHIP 8 PM BURNLEY v MIDDLESBROUGH A near top of the table game between 2nd placed Burnley and 5th placed Boro in the Championship where even now there have been so many twist and turns a win is so important in these two teams chase for automatic promotion and this game will be close with two teams in similar form.
⚽⚽ AMAZON PRIME VIDEO 7.30PM FULHAM v BRIGHTON Two of the more attractive teams to watch this season hopefully will up to the billing in tonight’s match. A win for Fulham could take them a point behind the Seagulls who are in fifth place so both teams have an incentive as a Brighton win keeps them I a European position. The style of both teams pretty much guarantee goals so am going for a score draw in what promises to be an entertaining match. 8:15 PM BOURNEMOUTH v TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR Amazingly the Cherries can leapfrog Spurs with a win which shows although the size of the clubs are vastly different the league places are not. Bournemouth are more than capable of some great performances particularly at home and Spurs on their day can beat anyone but also have been on the wrong end of some bad results. A hard one to call but I think the Cherries who are a hard nut to crack at home to beat a slightly injury hit Spurs.
⚽️⚽️⚽️ AMAZON PRIME VIDEO PREMIER LEAGUE All 7.30 PM EVERTON v WOLVERHAMPTON Already a major match at this stage of the season! Wolves a couple of weeks ago looked like they had turned the corner as regards results but they was abruptly brought down to Earth by the 4-2 home loss against Bournemouth and Everton are without a win since mid October so two struggling teams who will be playing with fear so a draw looks favourite. MAN CITY v NOTTINGHAM FOREST City’s form is horrendous at the moment but with the quality they have that can change at anytime. Forest are in good form and won four out of their last six and for once be going to City with no fear so with that in mind I can see Man City’s winless run continuing and a confident Forest getting a point. NEWCASTLE v LIVERPOOL The Geordies are playing the team of the moment and it will be a major surprise if they can get a win against Liverpool who are in great form but with the Geordie fans behind them I wouldn’t be surprised. Liverpool are in great form at the moment but Newcastle and their fans have a habit of making it difficult for the top sides at St James park in recent seasons and am taking a surprise win for them if their major players turn up for them. SOUTHAMPTON v CHELSEA You really can’t see anything else from this match other than a win for the Blues who are playing very well and at the moment looking set for a top four spot. The Saints are starting to be cut adrift at the bottom and if they are to stay up need to start winning home games which considering recent results looks unlikely in this match against a very confident Chelsea side who I expect to win comfortably. —————————————————————— 8.15 PM ARSENAL v MANCHESTER UNITED The game of the night Arsenal look like they have found their form and look pretty formidable at the moment and United look to have taken on board their new head coaches philosophy and are currently having a good run so two in form teams who will want to prove they are good times coming and I think this will be a high scoring draw as both teams are capable. ASTON VILLA v BRENTFORD The Midlands giants are not having the best of times at the moment and are looking slightly jaded as reflected in recent performances Brentford are a great watch and can give any team problems and although not having the best away results are still dangerous and am taking them to continue the bad run for a struggling Villa side. SKY SPORTS All 7.45 PM Five games from league one/two and those games are usually very entertaining and for me the stand out game is the….. BIRMINGHAM CITY v STOCKPORT This game has two teams who are in play off positions but are well placed for automatic promotion with a win tonight so expect a game with two teams who want to go up automatically and going for the win. SCOTTISH PREMIERSHIP ABERDEEN v CELTIC 8 PM The big game in Scotland with Aberdeen trying to break the big two stranglehold on the league and so far making a good fist of it. This is a must win game for the Dons if they are to have a chance of winning the league and I think that’s a great incentive for a shock win.
