      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

      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

      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

      Jurgen Klopp tells Amazon Prime’s Dan Walker ‘I understand you have to talk every day’ in awkward live TV interview

      by

      JURGEN KLOPP was involved in an awkward live TV interview with presenter Dan Walker prior to Liverpool’s 2-0 win over Burnley.After several minutes of routine pre-match questions, the Reds boss was asked about the composition of his front three – Mo Salah, Darwin Nunez and Cody Gakpo.

      It is the first time the trio have lined up alongside one another.
      Amazon Prime host Walker enquired about the decision to go with that forward line, while he also pointed out the reliance on Salah so far this season.
      Walker asked: “Can I ask you a little bit about your front three?
      “You’ve had a lot of dependence on Mo Salah with goals and assists, but Nunez and Gakpo playing in a front three.

      “You’ve not actually selected so far this season, have you, those three together up top?”
      To which an irked Klopp responded: “I don’t know. I said it the other day in the press conference, I understand you have to talk every day about football.
      “We are second in the table. We are in a better position than probably everybody expected us to be.
      “And then we start discussing the front three and they are not firing on all cylinders. There are more serious problems out there.”

      Walker then replied: “I’m not trying to catch you out.”
      Before Klopp added: “Oh, fine.”
      Salah has 16 goals in all competitions this season, along with seven assists.
      Diogo Jota is the next most prolific Reds star with eight goals, but Trent Alexander-Arnold is their leading assist maker with eight – while Nunez is level with Salah on seven.
      Klopp’s spiky response came after he took aim at Sky Sports’ Patrick Davison earlier this month, telling him “you over-estimate your importance” when referring to the media.
      Meanwhile, Liverpool beat Burnley thanks to goals from Nunez and Jota.
      The victory returns them to the top of the Premier League table, two points clear of Arsenal ahead of the Gunners’ clash with Brighton on Thursday. More

      At one point the star pulls out a fire extinguisher to put out some burned roast potatoes and is later seen staring at a serving tray as if it is the Bundesliga trophy.
      Harry is celebrating having his first Christmas off in years as the Bundesliga takes a three week break.
      And he said of his time off: “I’m really looking forward to it.
      “It’s been tough here without the family for these four months, without the kids and without the wife.

      “It’s just about spending some time with them, some quality time. 
      “When we get back everyone will move to Germany, which will be nice as well.”
      Kane and his family will head for a sunny escape soon after Christmas.
      He said: “We’re going somewhere hot, so we’ll spend 10 days and just enjoy that time.

      Thankfully he is having better luck on the pitch – having made a record-breaking start to life in Europe since his big-money move from Tottenham last summer.
      Last week he became the quickest player to reach 20 Bundesliga goals after knocking in a brace during Bayern’s 3-0 win over Stuttgart.

      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 19 below…
      Luton v Newcastle
      The Hatters most recent outing against Bournemouth was abandoned due to Tom Lockyer’s medical emergency so we can only go off their previous three consecutive defeats in terms of recent form.
      Although that doesn’t quite tell the full story as they had their moments against Arsenal and Manchester City, two difficult opponents.
      However, only Sheffield United and Burnley have conceded more league goals than Luton and same two clubs have a worse attacking record too.
      Eddie Howe remains tested by injury setbacks, not to mention the sudden drop in Kieran Trippier’s form, but only Aston Villa and Man City have scored more league goals in 2023/24.
      However, it’s worth noting that the Magpies have earned just five points away from St James’ Park.
      A 2-1 win for Newcastle is the most-popular prediction among Score Predictor users right now and we’re inclined to agree.
      Our Prediction: 2-1 to Newcastle
      Anthony Gordon’s availability may be a factorCredit: Rex
      Nottingham Forest v Bournemouth
      Two teams at the opposite end of the form table here.
      The Cherries were ranked first among all top-flight clubs for points earned over their last five games prior to their abandoned clash with Luton last weekend.
      Conversely, Forest are rock-bottom of the form table having lost five of their last six, a run that prompted Steve Cooper’s departure from the City Ground.
      Nuno Espirito Santo has taken the reins and there’s always the possibility of a New Manager Bounce but the more tangible stats favour Bournemouth.
      It’s hard to look past the two teams’ contrasting form.
      Our Prediction: 3-1 to Bournemouth
      Dominic Solanke has enjoyed a prosperous first half of the seasonCredit: EPA
      Tottenham v Everton
      Interestingly, Spurs are the only team to have earned more points on the road than the Toffees this season.
      Sean Dyche’s men have been particularly impressive this month having won all four of their league games without conceding a goal.
      They’ll do very well to extend that record this weekend against a team who commit men forward at every opportunity without fear of being exposed.
      This one has all the makings of a competitive affair and we’re backing Everton to come away with something – though they made need Son Heung-min to have an off-day in front goal.
      Our Prediction: 1-1 draw
      Dyche is doing a fantastic jobCredit: Getty
      Liverpool v Arsenal
      Matchweek 19’s headline fixture is genuine top-of-the-table clash.
      28% of users are backing a 2-2 draw at present but it may be the defensive units that come to the fore.
      Both sides have conceded 15 league goals to date this term. the joint-fewest, but it’s the Gunners that come out on top when digging into the underlying data – they’ve conceded just 12.7 xG.
      Given the Reds’ record at Anfield, Mikel Arteta would probably be content with a draw and the central core of Gabriel, William Saliba and Declan Rice has proven difficult to penetrate.
      That being said, the attacking talent on the pitch makes a goalless stalemate unlikely.
      Our Prediction: 1-1 draw

      Rice has improved Arsenal’s midfield several degrees this seasonCredit: Reuters
      Wolves v Chelsea
      Right now, this is a mid-table clash that doesn’t inspire much excitement among neutrals.
      Hwang Hee-chan and Matheus Cunha offer enough threat on their day but Gary O’Neil’s side have suffered in Pedro Neto’s absence going forward.
      Goals have flowed more freely for the Blues in recent weeks but they remain frustratingly inconsistent across the board.
      Both these sides are in the bottom-half of the form table and festive fatigue sets in then it could be a tough watch on Christmas Eve.
      How about this, Christopher Nkunku scores the winner in an otherwise dull match-up?
      Our Prediction: 1-0 to Chelsea

      Manchester City v Crystal Palace
      The Eagles have been something of a bogey team for Pep Guardiola’s side in recent times – at least relative to the other bottom-half teams.
      However, Roy Hodgson’s side aren’t particularly well equipped for a trip to the Etihad right now having lost four of their last five games.
      Granted, they gave Liverpool a decent contest last time out but with several key players injured and recent defeats to Everton, Luton and Bournemouth fresh in the mind, a comfortable home win seems likely on Saturday.
      Most read in Football
      At this stage, Erling Haaland isn’t expected to feature at the weekend but the treble winners still have plenty of firepower at their disposal.
      Only Sheffield United have scored fewer league goals than Palace this season so we’re backing an overdue City clean sheet.

      Burnley v Everton
      Roll up, roll up, it’s the Sean Dyche derby!
      The Clarets have mustered just eight points from 16 games since they returned to the top flight, although half of those have come in their last three outings in fairness.
      The Toffees are only two places above Burnley in the table but that’s because of their ten-point deduction, without punishment they would be in the top half.
      Everton have beaten Nottingham Forest, Newcastle and Chelsea this month without conceding a single goal.
      Dyche’s side also boast the fifth-best away record in the league this term.
      Our Prediction: 2-0 to Everton

      Arsenal v Brighton
      Roberto De Zerbi’s enterprising outfit have scored the same number of league goals as the Gunners, Newcastle and Tottenham in 2023/24 but they’ve also conceded more goals than Fulham, Wolves, Palace and Forest.
      The Seagulls are yet to keep a Premier League clean sheet this season but they’ve also scored in every game they’ve played – we’re looking at both teams to score as a foundation for this prediction.
      Arsenal came unstuck at Villa Park last weekend, but doesn’t every team?
      Prior to that, Mikel Arteta’s side had won four league games in a row.
      Brighton have a modest record on the road this season having taken ten points from seven away days – with 16 goals conceded.
      Our Prediction: 3-1 to Arsenal
      Dream Team’s second-best player this seasonCredit: Getty
      West Ham v Wolves
      The Hammers completed a classic smash-and-grab against Tottenham a week ago but the celebrations were cut brutally short when they lost 5-0 to Fulham on Sunday.
      With progression to the Europa League knockouts already assured, David Moyes may opt to give several key players a much-needed rest against Freiburg this evening ahead of Wolves’ visit to East London.
      Jarrod Bowen, Mohammed Kudus and Lucas Paqueta make up the mainstays of a threatening attack but West Ham have actually conceded more league goals than they’ve scored this season.
      Pedro Neto’s absence hinders the dynamism of Gary O’Neil’s attack but Matheus Cunha and Hwang Hee-chan are not to be underestimated.
      That being said, Wolves’ recent results (1-0 win over Burnley, 1-1 draw with Forest) have been very: last on Match of the Day.
      Our Prediction: 1-1 draw
      Under pressureCredit: Getty
      Liverpool v Manchester United
      The big one.
      In November, there was a sense that the Red Devils’ results flattered them as even their most partisan supporters acknowledged flaws in the performances.
      This month, things have evened out with three losses from four games in all competitions, including a humbling 3-0 defeat to Bournemouth at Old Trafford.
      Fans will be fearing a thorough thrashing at Anfield on Sunday amid injury absentees – Bruno Fernandes is also suspended for the big clash.
      Jurgen Klopp’s men haven’t been at their fluent best of late, nonetheless, they’ve risen to the top of the table by virtue of their 100% home record.
      Liverpool have won all seven league games at Anfield this campaign, scoring 21 goals and conceding five.
      Our Prediction: 3-0 Liverpool win

      Check out our predictions for Matchweek 17 below…
      Manchester United v Bournemouth
      The Red Devils continue to confound supporters and pundits alike.
      Having been totally outplayed by Newcastle last weekend, they then thoroughly outplayed Chelsea in midweek, though to what extent that was down to their efforts or the Blues’ failings is up for debate.
      Erik ten Hag’s side are just three points behind Manchester City in the table but they’ve also lost the same number of games as Brentford and have a goal difference of zero.
      Most read in Dream Team
      Generally, Man United have got the job done against bottom-half opposition this season, just not always in convincing fashion.
      Add in home advantage and it seems like a good opportunity for Bruno Fernandes and company to take a step closer to the top four.
      However, this is not a great time to play the Cherries.
      Andoni Iraola’s men were all at sea until they flipped a switch three weeks ago.
      Since then, they’ve beaten Newcastle, Sheffield United and Crystal Palace – they also drew with high-flying Aston Villa.
      All three results feel plausible…
      Our Prediction: 2-1 to Man United
      Aston Villa will be full of confidenceCredit: AFP
      Aston Villa v Arsenal
      Without wanting to jinx it, this should be a cracking game.
      The Villains produced one of the most impressive performances in recent memory to beat Manchester City on Wednesday night.
      Pep Guardiola’s side were restricted to just two shots while the hosts registered 22 – it was one-way traffic!
      No doubt Unai Emery’s troops will have expended a lot of energy to claim the three points but the Gunners were involved in a breathless affair of their own at Luton on Tuesday night.
      Villa boast the best home record in the top flight this season having won all seven fixtures, scoring 24 goals in the process.
      However, Mikel Arteta’s side have the best away record in the league at present – they’re the only team to have won five games on the road this term.
      If Villa produce the same performance again then it’s hard to envisage any side withstanding them but Arsenal are the league leaders for a reason.
      Another tough call…
      Our Prediction: 1-1 draw
      Consistently inconsistentCredit: GETTY
      Everton v Chelsea
      Mauricio Pochettino’s men have been the scourge of Score Predictor users this season.
      They recently beat Brighton and Tottenham either side of a compelling 4-4 draw with Man City but they also lost to Brentford and produced genuinely dismal performances away to Newcastle and Man United.
      The stats say that both these sides are better on the road with the Toffees having won just once in the league at Goodison Park this campaign.
      Instinctively, this one feels like a Sunday lunchtime snoozefest.
      Our Prediction: 0-0 draw

      Luton v Manchester City
      The Hatters produced a noble effort against Arsenal but ultimately tasted defeat in midweek and this weekend they’re likely to face a wounded animal.
      Erling Haaland and company will have a point to prove after a run of four league games without a win.
      Rodri and Jack Grealish will return from suspension and it should be a case of normal order restored for the treble winners against a newly-promoted outfit currently 17th in the league – even that position is flattering because Everton have been docked ten points.
      City have desperately struggled for clean sheets of late so we’ll back the hosts to give the Kenilworth Road faithful something to cheer at least.
      Our Prediction: 3-1 to Man City
      Every Spurs game is worth a watchCredit: Getty
      Tottenham v Newcastle
      Yet another humdinger on paper.
      Ange Postecoglou’s men are determined to play their way no matter how many players are absent through injury or suspension.
      Their gung-ho approach helped them snatch a draw at the Etihad and while the fans remain positive about their side’s long-term prospects, it’s simply a fact that Spurs have taken one point from their last four league games – though they may improve their recent record at home to West Ham tonight.
      Newcastle have also been ravaged by injuries but, barring a surprise defeat at Bournemouth, their domestic results haven’t suffered.
      In fact, they’ve recently notched impressive wins over Arsenal, Chelsea and Man United.
      However, the Magpies have underwhelmed away from St James’ Park this season – they’ve taken just five points from six fixtures on the road.
      Eddie Howe’s side travel to Everton this evening but at this stage we can only judge previous results.

      Awkward moment Jurgen Klopp argues with ‘ignorant’ Amazon Prime Video presenter on live TV after Liverpool clash

      by

      JURGEN KLOPP let rip at an ‘ignorant’ Amazon Prime presenter after he made a joke about Liverpool’s latest 12.30pm kick-off time.Klopp saw his team beat Sheffield United 2-0 with goals from Virgil van Dijk and Dominik Szoboszlai but the German then revealed a crushing blow that defender Joel Matip has ruptured his ACL.
      Jurgen Klopp shows Marcus Buckland how pushed Liverpool are for time as he hit back at what the Amazon Prime star thought was an innocent jokeCredit: Prime
      It led to an awkward exchange live on TV
      And the Reds boss hit the roof when Amazon’s Marcus Buckland mentioned that Liverpool’s visit to Selhurst Park on Saturday features another lunch-time kick-off, something Klopp has complained about.
      Buckland said: “You got to Crystal Palace in your favourite kick-off time?”
      Klopp said: “That’s really brave to make a joke about that.
      “We go home, I don’t know exactly what time we will get home, we will arrive, maybe 1am-2am tonight and then play again. We have two sessions.”
      READ MORE TOP STORIES
      Klopp added: “I realise that you don’t understand it as well, even when you work in football, so why should I explain again?
      “If you make a joke of that you are completely ignorant. But it’s good, football is entertainment and it’s all good.”
      Buckland said: “I don’t mean to be disrespectful.”
      Klopp added: “You were already. All good, you can say what you want.

      “I cannot say what I want because that would be really different. If you make a joke of that you are completely ignorant.”
      Klopp admitted Liverpool struggled to break down United, who welcomed back Chris Wilder as boss.
      But Matip looks as though he will miss the rest of the season after injuring his knee against Fulham.
      Klopp said: “It is an ACL rupture. It looks like that. It is very unfortunate. 
      “But I am really pleased with the result. I don’t want to be overly critical as I know we can play better football but this time of year you play, hopefully win and hopefully recover.”
      Boss Wilder got a warm reception on his return to replace Paul Heckingbottom.
      He said: “It will stay with me forever and I thank them from the bottom of my heart.
      “It has been a long-time away. I understand some supporters think it is a mistake, me coming back, so I have to earn their support.
      “I am disappointed we did not get something out of the game.” More

      How £40m Anthony Gordon is having last laugh and proving Newcastle supremo right after being chased out of Everton

      by

      EVERYONE thought that Newcastle had their pants pulled down by Everton after splashing £40million on Anthony Gordon in January.And they were howling when, in Toon’s Amazon Prime documentary, co-owner Amanda Staveley insisted the “extraordinary” Scouser would be “one of the best players in the league”.

      Well, fast forward 11 months and the Magpies are having the last laugh as demands for a first England call-up grow.
      Hounded out of Goodison Park, Toffees fans were convinced they had offloaded a supposed bad egg.
      But after six goals and three assists this term the winger is well on his way to justifying the fee — as well as Staveley’s prophecy.
      A first return to his boyhood club came in April as a late sub with the Toon 4-1 up and Goodison half empty.

      But the home fans will be baying  for blood tonight with the  forward’s acrimonious exit still fresh in the memory.
      After a 2-1 January defeat by Southampton, a furious mob — who did not think he was up for the relegation fight — chased his car following what was his last Everton game.
      And Magpies boss Eddie Howe urged the red-hot Gordon to block out the noise and silence the boo boys.
      Howe said: “It will be an explosive atmosphere.

      “Anthony has to be prepared for whatever reception he gets — but just focus on his football. That’s all he can do.
      “If you think about things you can’t control, you take your mind off of what you can.  
      “He needs to control the things that make his performance as good as it can be, which he has been doing  on a consistent basis recently.”
      Gordon, 22, struggled to adapt to Howe’s demands but started this season on fire  having been named Player of the Tournament as England won the Under-21 Euros over the summer.
      Howe added: “I had no issue with him when he first signed, he just wanted everything there and then.
      “He wanted to play, score goals and do well, which I understand and is natural but going to a new club is never easy. There’s always a transitional period, no matter how experienced you are.
      “This season we’ve really seen him grow and develop because of his fitness levels being so high due to his work with England in the summer.”
      Martin Dubravka replaces Nick Pope in goal tonight after the England keeper was ruled out for at least four months with a dislocated shoulder.
      Toon may look for a replacement, with free agent David de Gea an option.

      Howe said: “We’ve not made any enquiries or decisions.
      “This is a chance for the keepers we have to consolidate their positions.” More
