    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

    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

    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

    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.

    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
    InevitableCredit: GETTY
    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

    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

    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.”

    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

    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.
    Most read in Football
    CASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO WELCOME OFFER
    “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

    Amazon Prime Video introduce never before seen feature and fans are already demanding Sky Sports follow suit

    FOOTBALL fans claim the “future” of viewing has arrived as Amazon Prime brought in the first-ever substitute counter for Wolves’ live TV clash with Burnley.Supporters urged Sky Sports to follow suit after Amazon introduced a discreet tracker above the scoreline in the corner of the screen.

    But it came into play much earlier than second-bottom Burnley would have liked in Tuesday’s Premier League game at Molineux.
    Vincent Kompany’s Clarets were on top until dangerous winger Luca Koleosho hobbled off after 36 minutes.
    On stepped Johann Gudmundsson for the 19-year-old.
    Unlucky Koleosho had netted his first Prem goal just three days earlier in a 5-0 thrashing of Sheffield United.

    But his misfortune gave viewers the chance to judge Amazon’s groundbreaking service.

    One posted: “New substitute tracking system on Amazon Prime is very useful actually and surprising that it hasn’t been introduced sooner.

    One said: “Amazon just introduced a sub counter on Wolves vs Burnley. Can’t say I’ve ever sat here wondering how many subs a team has left.”
    And this was a similar view: “I have never ever in my life watching football for over 40 years wondered how many subs are left. ”  More

    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.
    In the spirit of transparency, here are our predictions for Matchweek 16’s fixtures…
    Nottingham Forest v Everton
    These two teams would be separated by just one point in the table had the Toffees not been deducted ten for their financial indiscretions.
    Strangely, both teams will be happy this fixture is set to take place at the City Ground.
    Steve Cooper’s side are significantly better on familiar soil while Sean Dyche’s troops are notably most effective on the road – only four Premier League teams have earned more points away from home this season.
    Most read in Football
    Everton had suffered just one defeat in six prior to their 3-0 defeat to Manchester United while Forest have won one of their last nine, albeit an impressive victory over high-flying Aston Villa.

    Newcastle v Manchester United
    Improbably, the Red Devils are the most in-form team in the top flight right now having won five of their last six league games.
    However, the Old Trafford faithful will know better than anyone that the nature of the performances have not been particularly convincing.
    Plus, Erik ten Hag’s side have repeatedly collapsed in the Champions League of late.
    As for the Magpies, they’re in the midst of an injury crisis but a 4-1 win over Chelsea at St James’ Park last time out in the Premier League proved they still have the capacity for emphatic results.
    Both teams are likely to be fatigued from their respective midweek efforts but Eddie Howe’s men have an extra day to recover and the luxury of home advantage on Saturday night.
    No team has earned more points at home than Newcastle this campaign.
    Our Prediction: 3-1 to Newcastle
    Will the real Chelsea please stand up?Credit: PA
    Chelsea v Brighton
    The Blues have been up and down like a yo-yo of late.
    They went toe-to-toe in entertaining draws with Arsenal and Manchester City either side of a 4-1 win at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium but they’ve also recently lost at home to Brentford while Mauricio Pochettino said their most recent performance (the aforementioned defeat to Newcastle) was their worst of the season.
    It’s hard to know which Chelsea will turn up on Sunday.
    As for the Seagulls, they’re unbeaten in their last six games in all competitions but, at the same time, their win over Forest last weekend was their first in the league since September.
    Unsurprisingly, Roberto De Zerbi’s have registered the joint-most draws in the top flight this term.
    Chelsea have earned just six points from seven league fixtures at Stamford Bridge, giving them a worse home record than Fulham, Wolves and Bournemouth.
    Our Prediction: 2-2 draw
    Liverpool have a 100% home record in the league this seasonCredit: Alamy
    Liverpool v Fulham
    This should be more straightforward as the Reds have won all six of their home league games this season, conceding just two goals in the process.
    Jurgen Klopp’s side average a fraction under three goals per game at Anfield.
    Marco Silva’s side have fared well against teams around them in the table but they’ve generally rolled over against the stronger sides.
    Our Prediction: 3-0 to Liverpool

    Manchester City v Tottenham
    Spurs have been something of a bogey side for Pep Guardiola in recent years – five of his last eight meetings with them have ended in defeat.
    However, the departed Harry Kane was a central figure in most those upsets.
    Ange Postecoglou’s side have lost three in row amid a flurry of injuries but they enjoyed spells of supremacy in all those defeats and their fans remain hopeful of a positive campaign.
    Son Heung-min and company should ask plenty of questions of a City defence who have failed to keep as many clean sheets as they would have liked this season but it’s the other end of the pitch that will concern the visiting fans.
    The prospect of Erling Haaland, Jeremy Doku, Phil Foden and friends being unleashed upon a back four made up exclusively of full-backs seemingly only ends one way.
    Our Prediction: 3-2 to Man City
