Premier League Gameweek 12 Predictions


#5 Manchester United to be ruthless against Watford

Manchester United are currently struggling in the English top flight, with their performances far below their standards. Ole Gunner Solskjaer's men are sixth in the Premier League, having just 17 points after eleven league matches. The Red Devils have recorded just one win from their last five Premier League games.

Clearly, United are in danger of even losing out on a Europa League spot with Brighton breathing down their necks. Solskjaer's job is no longer safe and their trip to Watford remains a must-win fixture for them ahead of some high voltage fixtures.

Watford, on the other hand, are in the bottom half of the table. They are barely out of the relegation battle and it will be an uphill battle to contain a desperate United side at home. Our guess is that the Red Devils will emerge victorious with a standout performance.


#4 Harry Kane to score against Leeds United

Tottenham Hotspur talisman Harry Kane has proven himself to be one of the world's best strikers with his powerful displays in the last few years. He is capable of scoring goals for fun but unfortunately, he has not really clicked with Spurs so far this campaign.

Kane has scored just one goal in the Premier League, failing to inspire a distraught Tottenham side. With Antonio Conte hired as the new head coach, the Englishman will breathe a sigh of relief and try to emulate his form for England.

Kane scored a perfect hat-trick against Albania in the World Cup Qualifiers. Our guess is that he will find his scoring boots against Leeds United.

#3 Manchester City to take all three points against Everton

Manchester City are continuing their pursuit for top spot in the Premier League. The reigning champions are hot favorites again to win the title. But they must remain on the tail of leaders Chelsea, who are three points ahead of them.

Pep Guardiola's side have taken 10 points from their last five games in the Premier League and are expected to win against Everton. The Citizens will go with a lot of confidence after their strong performance against Manchester United, which saw them win 2-0 at Old Trafford.

Meanwhile, Everton have slipped down to the 11th spot in the Premier League table. They have been without a win in their last five league games, losing three of their matches. A trip to the Etihad against a strong City side would be an uphill battle for them and even securing a point would be commendable.

Considering both of their form, our prediction is that Pep Guardiola's men will be runaway winners from the tie.


#2 A trip to Leicester will pose a challenge to the Premier League leaders

Chelsea v Burnley - Premier League

Chelsea, the champions of Europe, have proven themselves to be in a league of their own. The Blues have been undisputed home and away. showcasing their prowess by winning with utter ease so far. They have won eight from 11 Premier league games, drawing twice and losing just one so far this campaign.

Leicester City have been inconsistent throughout the campaign but a trip to the King Power Stadium has never been an easy task. Brendan Rodgers' side sit 12th in the league table but are capable of causing an upset on their day.

Our guess is that Thomas Tuchel's side will struggle against an unpredictable Leicester City and they might even lose points in the fixture.


#1 Liverpool to end Arsenal's unbeaten run

Arsenal are in the form of their life as they remain unbeaten in their last ten games across all competitions. Mikel Arteta's side have shown tremendous improvement and have gone from strength to strength since the start of the campaign. They have won their last three league games, which proves their brilliance.

But a trip to Anfield is a different ball game altogether, as evident from the history of the two rivals. Liverpool have suffered their first league defeat this campaign against West Ham in Game Week 11. But they remain one of the favorites to win the Premier League.

Arsenal's trip to Liverpool has gifted us some of the most memorable clashes in Premier League history and one can anticipate another mouthwatering tie. There is little margin for error for both teams. Our guess is that Jurgen Klopp's side will emerge victorious to end the Gunners' unbeaten run.
