February 2nd 2024.
The excitement of the Premier League is back in full force after a brief lull in January. Fans are eagerly anticipating the upcoming fixtures, and former Premier League star Dimitar Berbatov is here to give us a preview of all the action.
This weekend's games are sure to be thrilling, with a huge clash between Arsenal and league leaders Liverpool on Sunday. With only five points separating the two teams, it's a must-watch match. Meanwhile, Manchester City will be hoping for both their title rivals to drop points before they take on Brentford on Monday.
The weekend kicks off with Everton facing Tottenham on Saturday, followed by Manchester United hosting West Ham on Sunday. Both teams will be looking to build on their recent victories and continue their climb up the table.
As always, Betfair Ambassador Dimitar Berbatov is here to share his insights on the upcoming games. Let's take a closer look at his predictions for this weekend's matches.
Everton vs Tottenham:
Everton will have a tough test against Tottenham, as a loss could put them in a tricky position. They had a chance to win against Fulham in their last match, but it ended in a goalless draw. However, Goodison Park is always a tough place to play for any opponent. Tottenham, on the other hand, secured another win in their midweek game and have been a joy to watch this season. Berbatov predicts a draw for this match.
Prediction: 1-1
Brighton vs Crystal Palace:
Brighton will be the favorites in this home match, as they look to bounce back from their recent poor form. Crystal Palace, on the other hand, have been inconsistent and can sometimes be an easy team to play against. However, they did manage to secure a win in their last match with the help of youngster Olise. But Berbatov predicts that Brighton will come out on top in this match.
Prediction: 2-1
Newcastle vs Luton:
Both teams had impressive performances in their midweek games, with Newcastle beating Aston Villa and Luton thrashing Brighton. Both managers have been doing a fantastic job, but Berbatov believes that Newcastle will have the edge in this match and come out with a win.
Prediction: 2-0
Burnley vs Fulham:
Burnley still have a chance to save themselves from relegation, and their focus should be on picking up points in their home matches. Berbatov predicts a draw for this match, as Burnley will be determined to get a positive result.
Prediction: 1-1
Sheffield United vs Aston Villa:
Sheffield United may be at the bottom of the table, but they have shown that they can put up a fight against any team. They proved this in their last match against Aston Villa, where they scored twice and almost snatched a win. Villa, on the other hand, will be eager to bounce back from their recent defeat. Berbatov thinks this match will end in a draw.
Prediction: 1-1
Man United vs West Ham:
West Ham manager David Moyes will return to Old Trafford, where he had a difficult time during his tenure as Manchester United manager. However, he has since then turned things around with West Ham and has them pushing for a European spot. On the other hand, Manchester United will be looking to turn things around at home, where they have had some disappointing results this season. Berbatov predicts a win for United in this match.
Prediction: 3-1
Chelsea vs Wolves:
Berbatov admits that Chelsea can be unpredictable, but they do have some talented players on their team. However, they have been inconsistent this season, as shown in their recent defeat against Liverpool. They will have a good opportunity to secure a win in this match, and Berbatov predicts that they will do so.
Prediction: 1-0
Bournemouth vs Nottingham Forest:
Nottingham Forest have been improving under their new manager, but they have been conceding too many goals. Bournemouth, on the other hand, have only lost one of their last five home matches. It's a tough one to call, so Berbatov predicts a draw for this match.
Prediction: 1-1
Arsenal vs Liverpool:
The biggest game of the weekend is undoubtedly between Arsenal and Liverpool. Both teams are evenly matched, and Berbatov predicts an entertaining draw for this match. It's a game that could have a huge impact on the title race, and fans can't wait to see what unfolds on the pitch.
Prediction: 2-2
Brentford vs Man City:
Brentford may be capable of surprising teams, but Berbatov believes that Manchester City will come out on top in this match. With the return of key players like De Bruyne and Haaland, City have too much class and will secure a win.
Prediction: 0-2
