      Score Predictor remains free to play and, if you opt for sheer gut instinct, it takes just seconds to enter your predictions and put yourself in contention for the £500 Amazon gift card.
      Check out our top tips for Matchweek 23 below…
      Arsenal v Crystal Palace
      The Gunners wobbled before their mini break but we’re backing them to come back refreshed.
      And we’re inclined to predict a clean sheet for the hosts because a) only Liverpool have conceded fewer league goals this season, and b) only Sheffield United and Burnley have scored fewer goals than the Eagles.
      Roy Hodgson’s side are even less likely to pose a threat without Michael Olise in their ranks – the stylish winger is expected to be sidelined with injury a little while longer.
      Palace have won just one of their last 11 games in all competitions – a victory over a desperately out-of-form Brentford – and the fans have been vocal in their discontent of late.
      It feels like a routine home win for the stronger team, despite Arsenal’s disappointing results since Christmas.
      Our Prediction: 2-0 to Arsenal
      A turning point for Brentford?Credit: Alamy
      Brentford v Nottingham Forest
      These two sides are separated by just point as it stands but there’s daylight between them in the form table.
      Forest are benefiting from Nuno Espirito Santo’s New Manager Bounce having beaten Newcastle and Manchester United in their last two league games.
      Conversely, the Bees are without a win since December 2nd and consequently find themselves bottom of the form table.
      However, Thomas Frank will be able to play his trump card this Saturday in the form of Ivan Toney, who is available again having served his lengthy suspension.
      Brentford have won only three of their ten home games in the top flight this term while Forest have won just twice on the road.
      Our Prediction: 2-2 draw
      Will Bowen play?Credit: AFP
      Sheffield United v West Ham
      On the surface, this is a meeting between a side destined for relegation against a team currently in the top six.
      However, the Hammers’ strength in depth is being tested with Mohammed Kudus at AFCON and Lucas Paqueta sidelined with injury.
      The final member of their impressive front three, Jarrod Bowen, is nursing an ankle problem but it’s said he may recover in time to play some part against the Blades.
      David Moyes’ side drew 0-0 with Brighton last time out in the league and have since fallen to Bristol City in the FA Cup.
      That being said, it’s hard to ignore the fact Sheffield United have mustered just nine points since promotion and currently have a goal difference of -34!
      Our Prediction: 2-1 to West Ham
      Liverpool are sitting pretty at the top of the tableCredit: Getty
      Bournemouth v Liverpool
      The Reds beat the Cherries 9-0 last season but that was at Anfield and a lot has changed since then.
      At present, both are among the Premier League’s most in-form sides with Andoni Iraola’s troops having won four in a row before they lost to Tottenham in their most recent league outing.
      Jurgen Klopp’s men have scored 17 league goals away from home compared to 26 at Anfield and they will be without key players Mohamed Salah and Trent Alexander-Arnold on Sunday.
      And yet, an away win still feels most likely as the visitors will still be able to field a starting line-up full of firepower.
      Our Prediction: 2-1 to Liverpool
      Entertainment guaranteedCredit: Getty
      Brighton v Wolves
      Monday night’s match-up could be a fun one.
      The Seagulls have only registered one clean sheet in domestic football this season but they average over two goals a game on home soil while Wolves come in undefeated in five (all comps) having won their last three consecutive league games.
      In fact, only Liverpool, Man City and Bournemouth have taken more points from their last five top-flight fixtures than Gary O’Neil’s side.
      And given Brighton have been involved in more draws than any other team in the league this season…
      Our Prediction: 2-2 draw

      Remember, you don’t have to predict the exact outcomes of all five fixtures to land the top prize – that would be asking too much – you simply have to outscore your rivals.
      Some of our previous winners this season claimed amazing prizes having submitted their predictions in ten seconds through sheer gut instinct – it takes no time at all to play and it’s completely free.
      Check out our predictions for Matchweek 21 below…

      Sunderland 1 – 3 Newcastle
      Chelsea 2 – 0 Preston
      Manchester City 5 – 0 Huddersfield
      Arsenal 2 – 2 Liverpool
      Wigan 1 – 2 Manchester United

      The Tyne-Wear derby promises to be a spicy one and while the Magpies have struggled of late, Eddie Howe will know full well what this fixture means to the fans.
      We’re backing the Black Cats to score though, probably via the in-form Jack Clarke, who has 12 Championship goals to his name already this season.
      Keep an eye out for Jobe Bellingham too, brother of Jude.

      We’re not expecting any drama at Stamford Bridge as Preston have lost four of their last five league games and are therefore unlikely to pull off an upset, regardless of the team selections.
      Some of the best teams in the world have crumbled at the Etihad against Pep Guardiola’s treble-winning machine so the visit of a relegation-threatened second-tier outfit has to be considered a massive mismatch.
      Sure, City will probably play some of the kids but youngsters like Oscar Bobb are actually rather good.
      Who knows, Kevin De Bruyne and Erling Haaland may even be eased back into action at some point?
      Arsenal v Liverpool is the most eye-catching match-up of the third round but this could well end up as a contest between two second-string sides.
      Both teams maintain hopes of lifting the Premier League trophy at the end of the season and the two managers will have one eye on the European knockout stages looming on the horizon.

      Mikel Arteta could do with a win but the league remains his priorityCredit: Alamy
      We don’t expect either gaffer to forfeit the FA Cup but this feels like a good opportunity to rest some key players – Bukayo Saka looks in need of a reset, for example.
      To be honest, a draw would be a nuisance to both clubs but we’re inclined to sit on the fence on this occasion.
      Finally, we’re backing Erik ten Hag’s men to get past the team currently 17th in League One – although it should be noted Wigan would be comfortably in the top half were it not for their points deduction.
      However, the Red Devils can’t seem to do anything with much conviction at present so we’re envisaging nervy, narrow win on the road.

      Amazon Prime Premier League pundits forced to flee Goodison Park pitch following Man City clash after being ‘in danger’

      by

      AMAZON PRIME’S team of pundits were forced to flee their position on the Goodison Park pitch last night after being put in “danger” due to the weather.Their cameras were on Merseyside to witness the thrilling Premier League comeback victory for Manchester City at Everton.

      Pep Guardiola’s side looked set to suffer a huge blow to their title aspirations as they trailed 1-0 at the break to Jack Harrison’s strike.
      But they recovered in some style with three second-half goals to lift themselves to fourth in the table and to within five points of leaders Liverpool.
      In blustery conditions, Phil Foden got them level with a thumping strike from outside of the area before City turned it around on 64 minutes.
      Julian Alvarez slotted home a penalty after Amadou Onana’s handball and then Bernardo Silva made it three late on by curling home into an open net after latching on to a Jordan Pickford clearance.

      Steve Bower hosted the coverage as he was joined by former Everton manager Roberto Martinez, ex-Man City full-back Gael Clichy and England legend Michael Owen as pundits on the big screen for Amazon Prime.
      However, after witnessing the whirlwind on the pitch, they were all forced into the stands after the final whistle during a commercial break as the weather took a turn for the worse.

      As the show returned to presenter Bower, the camera panned from their now empty position on the pitch and into the stands, showing the four men sitting in seats that had just been occupied by the raucous home crowd.
      As confused fans looked on, Bower then explained: “Thunder and lightning at Goodison, it’s been rather interesting the last few minutes.

      “We are not really supposed to mention the weather as we are in a privileged position but we were in a little bit of danger so we have re-positioned, Test match cricket style maybe, into the stand.”
      And that did not stop them from conducting their post-match duties as Guardiola soon joined them for an impromptu sit-down interview.
      Assessing his side’s performance, the Cityzens boss said: “We were really good – that’s why we are the best team in the world. I’m sorry.
      “I remind them every day. We have standards to keep and that makes us have more responsibility.
      “So we cannot let the standards go down.” More

      Chelsea vs Crystal Palace LIVE RESULT: Super-sub Madueke scores late winner from the spot to seal three crucial points

      by

      CHELSEA left it late but beat Crystal Palace 2-1 in the Premier League thanks to Noni Madueke’s late penalty. Mykhailo Mudryk put the Blues ahead with a tap-in but Palace answered back through Michael Olise.
      Madueke then came on late in the game before winning and scoring a 90th-minute penalty.

      Kick-off time: 7.30pm GMT
      Stream: Amazon Prime Video
      Chelsea XI: Petrovic, Gusto, Disasi, Badiashile, Colwill, Caicedo, Gallagher, Maatsen, Mudryk, Jackson, Nkunku
      Palace XI: Henderson, Clyne, Andersen, Guehi, Mitchell, Richards, Lerma, Eze, Olise, Ayew, Mateta

      Follow all the action with our live blog below…
      Palace miss chance to upset The Blues
      Crystal Palace will have not expected to control the game at Stamford Bridge for such large periods as they did.
      Roy Hodgson will be frustrated that during those phases of play they could not get the goal he will have felt they deserved.
      Eventually, they were downed by a sucker punch as Chelsea were awarded a late penalty and leave West London with nothing to show for their performance.
      Chelsea secure important win in derby
      The performance was not inspiring by any stretch of the imagination but this was a crucial three points for The Blues.
      It moves them up into the top half of the table, still with a lot of ground to make up on the top six.
      The Chelsea fans leave Stamford Bridge a little happier, courtesy of a Christmas gift from Eze as his foul led to the awarding of the penalty.
      Gusto blows away Palace charge
      Malo Gusto got forward to offer options when ever Chelsea came forward.
      With Raheem Sterling suspended his energy is getting up and down the line caused the visitors problems.
      He was integral in the first goal and managed to keep Ayew quiet for most of the game.
      Man of the match performance from the young French full back.

      FT: Chelsea 2-1 Crystal Palace
      Chelsea celebrate showing how much these three points mean to the home side.
      It papers over the cracks for Mauricio Pochettino, they were far from convincing in this game.
      Nevertheless is relieves some of the pressure on the Chelsea manager.

      FT: Chelsea 2-1 Crystal Palace
      The referee brings the game to a close.
      Chelsea take the three points but it was by no means a good performance from The Blues.
      A rash challenge from Eberechi Eze gifted the hosts a penalty to win the game.
      Chelsea 2-1 Crystal Palace
      90+8. Madueke breaks for Chelsea and slots Jackson in.
      He looks to hold the ball up, running the clock down, but the flag goes up for offside.
      Palace counter and Olise looks to get a cross into the box but it is too deep and runs harmlessly out for a goal kick.
      Chelsea 2-1 Crystal Palace
      90+6. Eze and Olise combine well and the winger drills a left-footed shot at goal.
      Petrovic gets down well to save and hold onto the ball.
      The referee books both Pochettino and Gallagher with the visitors pressing now.

      90+4. Disasi is fouled in the corner and the referee awards Chelsea a free kick.
      The defender is fist pumping the air on the ground which says a lot about where this Chelsea team is at right now.

      Chelsea 2-1 Crystal Palace
      90+2. We are going to have eight additional minutes added.
      Plenty of time for the visitors to try and find a goal.
      Roy Hodgson will feel his side have done enough in this game to come away from Stamford Bridge with at least a point.
      Chelsea 2-1 Crystal Palace
      90. Madueke sends Henderson the wrong way and calming strokes the ball into the back of the net.
      Crystal Palace have no arguments the challenge by Eze on Madueke was a definite penalty.
      A real striker’s challenge from the Palace player.

      86. Broja is found in the box again, he tries to take it past Andersen but the defender does well.
      Palace counter attack and have numbers but Olise loses the ball in the penalty area.
      Madueke is still down in the Palace penalty area, VAR will check to see whether Chelsea should have a penalty.
      Chelsea 1-1 Crystal Palace
      84. Silva goes long again with a pass from defence.
      He picks out Broja perfectly who controls the ball and gets a shot away.
      It nestles into the side netting.
      He really should be working the keeper from there at the very least.
      Chelsea 1-1 Crystal Palace
      82. Silva makes a mistake and Palace break with Schlupp.
      He finds Olise in the shot, whose shot is blocked but he gets another chance but Petrovic makes the save.
      Crystal Palace are trying to find a second goal late on in this game.
      Chelsea 1-1 Crystal Palace
      80. Well that celebration by Jackson was short-lived.
      Looking at the replay it was a fairly easy decision to make, you wonder why VAR takes so long to make their decision.
      On the balance of play, Crystal Palace do not deserve to be behind in this game.

      Goal disallowed – Offside
      Chelsea 2-1 Crystal Palace
      78. Thiago Silva lifts a cross into the box and Jackson slots home with a first time shot.
      VAR is reviewing it, he may have been offside as the ball was played in.
      This could be a huge decision as Stockley Park draw the lines.
      Goal – Nicolas Jackson (Chelsea)
      Chelsea 1-1 Crystal Palace
      74. Madueke breaks with pace and is fouled by Richards.
      The referee has no choice but to produce a card but pulls the red one out of his pocket by mistake.
      Gallagher plays Jackson through on goal, he has to score you think but the striker lifts it wide of the goal.
      Huge chance wasted.
      Chelsea 1-1 Crystal Palace
      72. Broja goes down under the challenge of Guehi.
      He needs to show more strength in the challenge, this Palace defence are physical and are happy to get stuck in.
      Am not sure Henderson has touched the ball for Palace in this half.
      Chelsea 1-1 Crystal Palace
      70. If Pochettino’s vision is to create a side with no penetration or creative threat in the final third, things are going according to plan.
      You feel that Roy Hodgson’s side need to get a goal to capitalise on how poor the hosts have been in this second half.
      Mudryk is down on the far side as he went down under the challenge of Clyne.
      Nkunku and Mudryk come off for Broja and Madueke.
      Chelsea 1-1 Crystal Palace
      68. Lavia picks the ball up in his own half and tries to play a direct pass forward.
      Only he knows who he was trying to pass that to but it runs out of play for a Crystal Palace throw in.
      Ayew twists and turns in the Chelsea box and gets a cross in but it is hacked clear by Lavia.
      Credit: Reuters
      Chelsea 1-1 Crystal Palace
      66. Olise picks the ball up on the edge of his own box and skips past Lavia with ease.
      He fouls the Palace man to stop him in his tracks.
      Chelsea should have asked for some creativity for Christmas.
      Chelsea 1-1 Crystal Palace
      64. With Caicedo and Lavia in the middle of the park, Chelsea have £170m worth of talent.
      They do not look any more solid for it though.
      Chelsea start to knock the ball around but just cannot find that killer pass and Palace clear with ease all too often. More

      Nottingham Forest star takes swipe at Amazon Prime as they get his nationality wrong in Newcastle clash

      by

      NECO WILLIAMS has taken a swipe at Amazon Prime after they messed up by calling the Nottingham Forest defender “English”.The Wales full-back, 22, came on for the final 20 minutes of Forest’s 3-1 Boxing Day win at Newcastle.

      Williams was waiting on the St James’ Park touchline with team-mate Ryan Yates as new City Ground boss Nuno Espirito Santo made the double change. 
      But match broadcasters Prime made the gaffe when they showed an English flag next to Williams’ name as he replaced Argentina World Cup winner Gonzalo Montiel.
      Williams posted on social media platform X: “Merry Christmas. Three points. Chris Wood (heart eye emoji). Prime Video Sport, I am Welsh (Welsh flag and upside down face emoji).”
      Ex-Liverpool defender Williams has won 36 senior international caps for Wales, scoring three goals.

      He was part of Robert Page’s squad which qualified for the World Cup in Qatar last year and played in all three group games against the USA, Iran and England.
      In total, Williams has made 16 appearances this season for club and country.
      Wrexham-born Williams scored for the Dragons in November’s Euro 2024 qualifying draw against Turkey in Cardiff which condemned Wales to the play-offs.
      Wales face Finland in a home semi-final on March 21 in Cardiff and should Page’s men win that tie then they will take on either Poland or Estonia for a spot in Germany next summer.

      For clarity, you don’t have to predict the exact outcomes of all five games to land the top prize – that would be asking too much – you simply have to outscore your rivals, meaning somebody must win.
      Some of our previous winners this season landed amazing prizes having submitted their predictions in ten seconds through sheer gut instinct – it takes no time at all to play and it’s completely free.
      Check out our predictions for Matchweek 20 below…
      Manchester City vs Sheffield United
      Manchester City should claim maximum points against rock-bottom Sheffield United as they look to bridge the gap on Premier League leaders Liverpool and Arsenal.
      The Cityzens made tough work of the reverse fixture back in August, but do boast a 100% record in their last six clashes against the South Yorkshire side.
      Though with six wins from six against Sheffield United since 2019, it’s rarely a rout.
      City have won 1-0 on three occasions and only twice by more than a two-goal margin. It could be a similar story with Chris Wilder back in charge and already showing huge improvement at Bramall Lane.
      Our Prediction: 2-0 to Manchester City
      Manchester City star Julian Alvarez is enjoying a profitable spellCredit: GETTY
      Nottingham Forest vs Manchester United
      Both arrive after excellent results on Boxing Day.
      Nuno Espirito Santo claimed his first win since replacing Steve Cooper with a tremendous 3-1 victory over Newcastle at St James’ Park.
      Chris Wood bagged a hat-trick in that contest, while Morgan Gibbs-White and Anthony Elanga were outstanding on the break, causing all sorts of problems.
      It looked to be further misery for Erik ten Hag’s side against Aston Villa, but goals from Alejandro Garnacho and Rasmus Hojlund completed an outstanding second-half comeback.
      Nuno hasn’t fared too well against United in his managerial career, winning just two of his 10 clashes in all competitions – losing four of those.
      Furthermore, only Arsenal have conceded fewer goals away from home in the Premier League than Manchester United this season, and with spirits high — we think they could be set for a narrow victory.
      Our Prediction: 0-1 to Manchester United
      Chris Wood bagged a hat-trick against Newcastle on Boxing DayCredit: GETTY
      Fulham vs Arsenal
      Revenge will be on the menu for Arsenal, who drew this clash 2-2 at the Emirates Stadium despite boasting a man advantage earlier this season.
      And it looks as though Mikel Arteta’s side meet Fulham at the opportune moment.
      After a great spell that included two five-goal victories, Marco Silva’s side have lost their last three league matches without scoring a goal.
      The Gunners have also won on their last five visits to Craven Cottage by an aggregate score of 15-2.
      Our Prediction: 0-2 to Arsenal
      Arsenal’s Martin Odegaard is starting to motorCredit: GETTY
      Tottenham vs Bournemouth
      Believe it or not, but Bournemouth are the most in-form side in the Premier League having taken 12 points from a possible 15.
      Andoni Iraola’s side have won six of their last seven matches, scoring 3+ goals on four occasions during that spell.
      Tottenham aren’t doing badly themselves after collecting nine points from their last three against Everton, Nottingham Forest and Newcastle.
      Neither will be backing down in this contest, and that’s clear given three of the last five meetings have produced over 4.5 goals.
      Our Prediction: 2-2 draw

      Richarlison has settled into his role as No.9 at TottenhamCredit: GETTY
      Liverpool vs Newcastle
      Newcastle face a stiff task travelling to Anfield after a series of bad results.
      Eddie Howe’s Magpies look knackered after carrying a huge injury list into a busy fixture schedule. They arrive having lost successive matches to Luton Town and Nottingham Forest, and haven’t beaten Liverpool away since 1994.
      The same cannot be said for Liverpool, who are genuine title contenders having registered 42 points from 19 league games.
      Jurgen Klopp’s side returned to winning ways by beating Burnley 2-0 on Boxing Day, while they’ve only dropped four points at Anfield this campaign.
      Our Prediction: 2-0 to Liverpool

      Patrice Evra jokes ‘now I’m going to cry in the toilet’ as Liverpool stat ruins Man Utd’s shock Villa win for club icon

      The 42-year-old was working as a pundit for Amazon Prime Video as he witnessed his old team go behind after Villa’s never-seen-before free-kick tactic left the hosts bamboozled.

      Fan favourite Evra arrived at United from Monaco back in 2006 and he won a host of honours under Sir Alex Ferguson.
      He enjoyed five Premier League title triumphs during his eight years at Old Trafford as well as Champions League joy in 2008.
      Evra then had spells at Juventus, Marseille and West Ham before hanging up his boots in 2018 and going into the punditry world. More
