      For full transparency, check out our very own predictions below…
      Manchester City v Everton
      Pep Guardiola’s side are in ominous form heading into this one having won their last nine games in all competitions.
      Everton fought for a spirited 2-2 draw against Tottenham last time out but that volume of goals is rare.
      Only the current top three have conceded fewer league goals than the Toffees this season but, on the flip side, only Burnley and Sheffield United have scored fewer goals in the top flight.
      Most read in Football
      As if to illustrate this point, Sean Dyche’s men were involved in three 0-0 draws in January (all comps).
      Everton would be sandwiched between Chelsea and Bournemouth in mid-table were it not for their points deduction and they’re solid enough to avoid a thrashing at the Etihad but have they got what it takes to earn a point?
      The reverse fixture occurred between Christmas and New Year and finished 3-1 to City so the safe money is on a win for the favourites again this Saturday.
      Our Prediction: 2-0 to Man City

      Nottingham Forest v Newcastle
      The Magpies have caused all sorts of issues for Score Predictor users lately.
      Eddie Howe’s men sprang a surprise win at Villa Park to end Unai Emery’s long unbeaten streak on home soil before last weekend’s chaotic 4-4 draw with Luton.
      It’s hard to get a read on them right now.
      Forest could have done without their FA Cup replay against Bristol City going the distance to a penalty shootout on Wednesday night – increasing the likelihood of some tired legs this coming Saturday.
      This match-up pits the team with the fifth-worst home record against the side with the fifth-worse away record.
      Although what that means exactly, it’s hard to say.
      Our Prediction: 2-1 to Newcastle

      West Ham v Arsenal
      These teams are separated by just four places in the table but they were worlds apart last weekend when the Gunners triumphed over table-toppers Liverpool on the same day the Hammers succumbed to a 3-0 defeat at Old Trafford.
      David Moyes’ side are without a win since late December but it’s worth noting that victory came at the Emirates.
      However, Mikel Arteta’s troops have refocused since then while West Ham fans have grown increasingly discontent with their team’s performances.
      Arsenal boast the joint-best defensive record in the league at this stage and the underlying numbers (xGA) suggest they have restricted their opponents better than any other unit.
      It’s not often we predict a clean sheet for the away side but on this occasion…
      Our Prediction: 2-0 to Arsenal

      Aston Villa v Manchester United
      As previously mentioned, Villa Park was an impenetrable fortress prior to Newcastle’s victory there and Chelsea’s 3-1 result in the midlands in midweek dealt further damage to the Villains’ lair.
      The Red Devils will also take heart from their previous meeting with Villa – that impressive comeback win on Boxing Day.
      Erik ten Hag’s troops desperately struggled to score goals in the first half of the season but they seemed to have turned a corner with Alejandro Garnacho, Marcus Rashford and Rasmus Hojlund all among the goals in their last seven outings.
      That being said, the fact remains that only Liverpool and Man City have scored more league goals than Villa in 2023/24.
      Our Prediction: 2-2 draw
      Man United are back among the goalsCredit: Getty
      Crystal Palace v Chelsea
      The Blues continue to blow hot and cold under Mauricio Pochettino.
      Last weekend’s defeat to Wolves prompted a torrent of criticism but pundits were forced to praise their efforts at Villa Park on Wednesday night.
      Such swings are a nightmare for Score Predictor users.
      It might be wise to focus on the Eagles in this match-up as they will once again be without the talented duo of Eberechi Eze and Michael Olise.
      First-choice centre-back Marc Guehi has joined the injury-prone midfielders on the sidelines as well.
      It won’t take much for the mood to turn sour at Selhurst Park on Monday night…

      Liverpool close to huge deal with Disney for behind the scenes documentary on Klopp’s last 6 months after Amazon snub

      by

      LIVERPOOL are reportedly in talks over a documentary covering Jurgen Klopp’s final six months at the club.The German manager announced last month that he would be leaving the Reds at the end of the season.

      Liverpool have since announced that it is filming a fly-on-the-wall series that will be released at the end of the season.
      The documentary will hope to showcase a successful end to Klopp’s reign as manager.
      Liverpool are currently on course to win a historic quadruple with the Carabao Cup final coming up later this month.
      The club are also still in the FA Cup and Europa League and are leading the Premier League title race.
      READ MORE IN FOOTBALL
      The Daily Mail have claimed that Disney+ are in “advanced talks” over buying the rights to the documentary.
      The report adds that the deal could see Liverpool bank £10million from its sale.
      It was also suggested that Amazon rejected the chance to purchase the rights due to the limited access to the dressing room.
      This is said to be the same reason why Netflix is having reservations.

      FREE BETS – BEST BETTING OFFERS & NEW CUSTOMER BONUSES
      Sky Sports and TNT Sports have also been approached over the rights to the series.
      However, the report has claimed that the price is higher than their normal documentary budgets.
      Liverpool is not the first club to have a behind-the-scenes documentary filmed.
      Manchester City, Tottenham Hotspur, Sunderland, Arsenal and Wrexham have had similar projects released in the past.
      Amazon’s All or Nothing series with Arsenal and Manchester City were hailed for the in-depth coverage of the clubs.
      Klopp is said to have only signed off on the project after he was assured that cameras would not film his players in the dressing room.
      The Mail have suggested that Liverpool view Disney’s offer as “too good to turn down”.
      The manager had previously rejected the idea of a documentary after an Amazon proposal in 2018. More

      By all means go with your gut if that’s your inclination but if you’re the kind of Score Predictor user who likes a tad more context then check out our top tips below…
      Everton v Tottenham
      It’s an interesting match-up on Saturday lunchtime as the Toffees have kept eight clean sheets in the league this season – the joint-most in the top flight alongside Arsenal and Liverpool – while Spurs are currently on a club-record run of scoring in consecutive games.
      Something’s got to give.
      Weirdly, Sean Dyche’s men have performed much better on the road this campaign – only Sheffield United and Burnley have earned fewer points at home.
      On a similar theme, no team has scored more goals than Ange Postecoglou’s troops away from home.
      Most read in Football
      The stats heavily favour the visitors.
      Our Prediction: 2-1 to Tottenham

      Sheffield United v Aston Villa
      The Villains’ results have dropped off lately with just two wins in their last six but that’s virtually trophy-winning form compared to the Blades, who are the only top-flight team without a win in their last six.
      More broadly, the hosts have won just two of their 22 league fixtures since promotion – it’s really not looking good.
      Ollie Watkins ended his mini goal drought with a consolation strike against Newcastle and he couldn’t have asked for a more favourable opponent this weekend to kick on.
      Sheffield United average roughly one goal per home game and Villa’s defence hasn’t held up all that well on the road so we’re inclined to predict something for the Bramall Lane faithful to celebrate at least.
      Our Prediction: 2-1 to Aston Villa
      Back in the goals?Credit: PA
      Manchester United v West Ham
      Only Liverpool have taken more points than West Ham from their last ten league games.
      Many neutrals will have failed to note the impressive nature of the Hammers’ form and the visitors will be further bolstered by the return of Mohammed Kudus – the Ghana star was superb before he departed for AFCON.
      As for the Red Devils, it’s hard not to be underwhelmed by their campaign.
      Erik ten Hag’s side have won six of their 11 home league fixtures but they’ve got a negative goal difference at Old Trafford.
      David Moyes’ men beat Man United in May and December of last year in the league but both those games were at the London Stadium – West Ham haven’t won at Old Trafford in the league since 2007.
      Our Prediction: 1-1 draw

      Kudus is available again for West HamCredit: getty
      Arsenal v Liverpool
      Sunday’s late kick-off will have a significant impact on the title race one way or the other.
      The Reds won at the Emirates in the FA Cup three weeks ago but the Gunners had more than their fair share of chances before the visitors took control.
      Mikel Arteta’s side triumphed in the last league game between these two teams in North London but that 3-2 win was their only victory against Liverpool in the last 12 meetings in all competitions.
      Jurgen Klopp’s men have only lost one league game all season while Arsenal have suffered defeat just once at home.
      A draw is a perfectly logical prediction but Liverpool looked really good against an in-form Chelsea last time out.
      Let’s try manifest a thriller…
      Our Prediction: 3-2 to Liverpool
      All eyes on the Emirates this SundayCredit: AFP
      Brentford v Manchester City
      The treble winners have won eight consecutive games in all competitions and with Kevin De Bruyne, John Stones, Jeremy Doku and Erling Haaland all available again after their respective injuries, the warning signs are ominous for the rest of the Premier League.
      Here’s the thing though, City have struggled to keep clean sheets, certainly in relation to their dominance – they even conceded a goal at home to Burnley this week.
      For that reason we’re predicting a goal for the Bees but 15 goals conceded in their last six league games suggests the hosts are not equipped to withstand Pep Guardiola’s well-oiled machine.

      Matchweek 24 is an FA Cup special – here are our predictions…
      Chelsea v Aston Villa
      One of two appealing all-Premier League Friday night match-ups and one that is dividing Score Predictor users at present.
      A 2-1 home win is the most-popular prediction, followed by a 2-1 away win, followed by a 2-2 draw.
      Unai Emery’s men have unquestionably been the better side this season – they’re currently level on points with Arsenal and Manchester City in the league – but the Blues have been in good form of late.
      In fact, Mauricio Pochettino’s side have won five of their last six games in all competitions.
      Most read in Football
      Villa won the last two meetings between these teams but they have massively under-performed in the FA Cup in recent years.
      The combination of home advantage and form edges it for Chelsea in our opinion.
      Our Prediction: 2-1 to Chelsea
      Not fond of Spurs away…Credit: Getty
      Tottenham v Manchester City
      A mouthwatering clash that should offer entertainment and goals in abundance.
      This is Pep Guardiola’s ultimate bogey fixture as he’s seen his side lose all five games at the Tottenham Hotspur stadium.
      Spurs’ brand of enterprising, attacking football has the potential to carve through the treble-winners’ defence – City have found clean sheets curiously hard to come by this season.
      The visitors will pack a punch and any team that contains Phil Foden, Bernardo Silva, Kevin De Bruyne and possibly Erling Haaland is obviously capable of running riot if everything clicks.
      Ange Postecoglou is able to focus purely on the league and FA Cup while Guardiola will also have one eye on the Champions League knockouts at the start of what is a very busy period for the defending champions.
      It’s hard to look past the recent history of this fixture.
      Our Prediction: 3-2 to Tottenham

      Ipswich are flying high in the ChampionshipCredit: Alamy
      Ipswich v Maidstone
      The visitors are the lowest-ranked side left in the competition, currently fourth in the National League South, the sixth-tier of the pyramid.
      As for the Tractor Boys, they’re hyper focused on their quest for back-to-back promotions and currently reside second in the Championship having lost just three league games in 2023/24.
      Kieran McKenna will probably name a second-string starting XI in hope of easing the workload of his key players but even so, the gulf between these two teams should result in one-way traffic.
      Everyone loves an upset but we just can’t see it here.
      Our Prediction: 3-0 to Ipswich
      Close to a comebackCredit: Getty
      Liverpool v Norwich
      The Canaries are one of the better second-tier sides but a trip to Anfield is a daunting prospect.
      Worryingly for Norwich, their defence has not held up well on the road – only bottom-of-the-table Rotherham have conceded more league goals away from home in the Championship this term.
      Couple this with the Reds’ undefeated home record this season and their average of nearly three goals per game and it could get messy for the visitors on Sunday.
      Trent Alexander-Arnold is said to be in contention to return from injury too.
      Our Prediction: 4-0 to Liverpool
      Surely Man United won’t fall victim to a bottom-half League Two club?Credit: Getty
      Newport v Manchester United
      The Welsh club are set to bank a welcome payday from this fixture and a run of seven games unbeaten will have stirred some hopes of a fairytale result.
      Out of the all Premier League giants, many neutrals would say this current iteration of the Red Devils are most likely to come unstuck in an old-fashioned cup upset but cold logic still favours the top-flight outfit.
      For all their imperfections, Man United actually boast a relatively solid defensive record in domestic football this season.
      The hosts will be seeking magic but the fact remains they’re currently 14th in League Two against a side able to call upon the likes of Bruno Fernandes and Marcus Rashford.

      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

      Burnley v Luton
      A battle between two of the Premier League’s poorer teams, both threatened by relegation back to the Championship as its stands.
      The Clarets have played ten, won one and lost nine at Turf Moor in the top flight this season – comfortably the worst home record among the 20 clubs.
      The Hatters have fared marginally better than Burnley since promotion, they’re four points ahead with a game in hand, but 15 points from 19 games isn’t much to shout about.
      We’re tempted to edge it to the visitors but we suspect it may end in a stalemate that satisfies nobody.

      Chelsea v Fulham

      Regular Score Predictor users will know that Mauricio Pochettino’s troops are predictably unpredictable.
      Take this week as an example, the Blues had won three games in a row and looked quite good in the process prior to their dismal 1-0 defeat to Middlesbrough in the Carabao Cup semi-final first leg – you just don’t know what you’re going to get from them.
      Strangely, both these teams would prefer the fixture to be at Craven Cottage as Chelsea have a worse home record while Fulham have struggled only the road – only Newcastle and Sheffield United have earned fewer points away from home in 2023/24.
      Here’s the thing, only Liverpool have generated more xG than the Blues this season – even a slight improvement in finishing would yield substantial results.
      Our Prediction: 2-1 to Chelsea

      Newcastle v Manchester City
      Game-changerCredit: Getty
      The Magpies enjoyed a satisfying win over Sunderland in the Tyne-Wear derby but they’re in danger of a reality check this weekend against a Manchester City side bolstered by the returns of Kevin De Bruyne and Jeremy Doku from injury – Erling Haaland may join the party too.
      Eddie Howe’s side have suffered defeats to Everton, Spurs, Luton, Forest and Liverpool in their last six league games – a 3-0 win over Fulham provided some relief but there’s no denying their defence have floundered of late.
      City haven’t necessarily been at their fluent best but they head into this fixture have won their last five in a row in all competitions – Phil Foden and Julian Alvarez have thoroughly enjoyed themselves in recent outings.
      Newcastle still boast a formidable record at St James’ Park having won eight of their ten league games but that will be put to the test on Saturday as Pep Guardiola’s side boast the best away record this term.
      The hosts’ underlying numbers over the last month are a serious cause for concern – it could get messy for them against the reigning champions.
      Our Prediction: 4-1 to Manchester City
      Everton v Aston Villa
      Sean Dyche has done a good job but he could do with a win sooner rather than laterCredit: GETTY
      After an impressive spell, the Toffees have now gone four games without a win, including three consecutive losses in the league.
      In fairness, two of those defeats came against Spurs and Man City, which can happen, but if such a trend suggests they come unstuck against better sides then that should encourage the Villains, who are sitting pretty in second right now.
      Villa’s away record is modest compared to their imperious home form but Everton average just one point per home fixture this season so we may not see the best of either side
      Sean Dyche has improved his side’s defence considerably but Unai Emery’s men average over two goals per league game this season – a tougher match-up to call that it initially appears.
      Our Prediction: 1-1 draw
      Manchester United v Tottenham

      Like Chelsea, the Red Devils have frustrated Score Predictor users this season by intermittently blowing hot and cold.
      They mounted a spirited comeback to beat Aston Villa on Boxing Day but followed that up with defeat to Forest at the City Ground a few days later.
      Spurs are hampered by key absentees with Son Heung-min, Yves Bissouma and Pape Matar Sarr having departed for the Asian Cup and AFCON respectively – not to mention an injury crisis at centre-back.
      Still, Ange Postecoglou has overseen five wins in his last six fixtures and the Australian coach’s brand of attacking football is certainly capable of overwhelming a Man United outfit with a soft underbelly.
      Only Liverpool and City have earned more points away from home than Spurs at this stage of the campaign.
      Our Prediction: 3-2 to Tottenham

      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.

      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’

      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
