Premier League Preview - March 20th- March 22nd

A huge weekend of Premier League action is set to deliver plenty of drama, and we’ve got the best bets covered at ExpertPicks.

Bournemouth vs Manchester United

An intriguing contest kicks off the weekend action on Friday as Manchester United look to strengthen their Champions League qualification hopes.

Revitalised under Michael Carrick, the Red Devils have won seven of their last nine matches. They had failed to win six of their previous seven games under now-departed boss Ruben Amorim.

While the Cherries are unbeaten in 11, they have underwhelmed in recent weeks, with three goalless draws in their last four matches. I expect United to end their run on Friday.

Prediction: 1-2

Best Bet: Manchester United to Win

Brighton vs Liverpool

Liverpool resume their push for Champions League qualification with a tricky trip to Brighton in Saturday’s early Premier League kick-off.

Brighton have found form in recent weeks, winning three of their last four matches. With a strong home record against the Reds - unbeaten in four of their last five meetings at the Amex - I fancy the hosts to at least avoid defeat against Arne Slot’s inconsistent side.

The faltering PL champions failed to win nine of 15 away league fixtures this season, and I expect them to stumble again on Saturday.

Prediction: 2-1 

Best Bets: Brighton Win or Draw

Tottenham vs Nottingham Forest

Perhaps the most important fixture of the weekend takes place in London as Tottenham host Nottingham Forest in a huge relegation six-pointer.

Igor Tudor’s side have enjoyed a better week, picking up a point at Liverpool before a valiant 3-2 second-leg win against Atletico Madrid on Wednesday.

Forest also enjoyed a strong week, securing Europa League progression against FC Midtjylland. With both teams desperate for points, goals at both ends look likely in a potentially dramatic contest at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Prediction 2-2

Best Bet: BTTS 

Aston Villa vs West Ham

A competitive contest is expected at Villa Park as relegation-threatened West Ham look to maintain their recent revival against a faltering Aston Villa.

The Hammers have enjoyed a strong run, remaining unbeaten in ten of their last 12 matches. Conversely, the Villains have lost their last three Premier League games and have failed to win seven of their last eight domestic fixtures.

Goals should be expected, with BTTS landing in 12 of the last 13 meetings between these sides. I expect a similar outcome, with West Ham also tipped to avoid defeat.

Prediction: 1-2

Best Bet: BTTS / West Ham or Draw

Best of the Rest

Fulham host Burnley in Saturday’s only 3pm kick-off, with the Clarets now nine points adrift of safety with just eight games remaining. The Cottagers have struggled in recent weeks, failing to score in three consecutive winless matches since the start of March.

Scott Parker’s side look increasingly doomed, and with no goals scored in four of their last six Premier League fixtures, a low-scoring outcome seems likely.

Elsewhere on Saturday, Chelsea look to bounce back from their Champions League humiliation when they take on Everton at Hill Dickinson Stadium. The Blues have a poor record on Merseyside, and I fancy the hosts to pick up at least a point in another low-scoring contest.

Leeds and Brentford bring Saturday’s action to a close in a fixture that looks a strong option for the BTTS market. The sides played out a 1-1 draw in the reverse fixture earlier this season, and a similar outcome could be on the cards.

On Sunday, Sunderland will fancy their chances when they take on local rivals Newcastle in the Tyne-Wear derby. With the Magpies’ confidence dented after a 7-2 defeat at Barcelona on Wednesday, the visitors look vulnerable, and an away win or draw offers solid value.
