Prediction

Manchester City 2, Arsenal 1

Moneyline (ML)

Man City (-286) will cost you a pretty penny – or pound, if you like – on the match result 3-way line. While Man City is certainly fit for this 199th meeting against Arsenal (+750), who knows if Pep Guardiola’s bunch will have any rust at the Etihad after a nearly quarter of a year layoff.

Perhaps a more attractive wager to make is the match result and both teams to score prop. MAN CITY TO WIN AND BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE (+135) is a strong value, and it might be a good idea to take it slow as the club’s feel each other out and get their sea legs back. Man City has won 28 of their past 33 home matches in EPL play, and six straight against Arsenal across all competitions, so if you want to play the moneyline, there is a high probability of a win. Just play at your own risk, as that’s a lot of chalk to eat. Every $2.86 bet on Man City to win on the 3-way line will only profit $1 if it does so.

Over/Under (O/U)

UNDER 3.5 (-134) is a solid value here. While Man City has found the back of the net 68 times in 28 matches, posting at least two goals in eight of its past nine home matches, again, remember the rust factor. The two clubs will also be playing in front of no fans, so emotionally it remains to be seen how they respond.

How to Watch Chelsea vs. Tottenham Hotspur, Premier League Live Stream, Schedule, TV Channel, Start Time

Jose Mourinho will return to familiar territory on Saturday when his Tottenham Hotspur side takes on his former employer Chelsea

Jose Mourinho will return to familiar territory on Saturday when his Tottenham Hotspur side takes on his former employer Chelsea at Stamford Bridge. The Blues are without a win in their last two games and will lose fourth place in the Premier League to their London derby rivals should they fall in the opening matchup of Week 27.

Chelsea vs. Tottenham Hotspur United 

  • When: Saturday, February 22
  • Time: 7:30 a.m. ET
  • TV: NBCSN
  • Live Stream: fuboTV (watch for free)

Tottenham remains unbeaten in its last seven domestic games, but the absence of forwards Harry Kane and Son Heung-min were felt when the team succumbed 1-0 at home to RB Leipzig on Wednesday.

The north Londoners announced earlier in the week that Son would miss “a number of weeks” after undergoing surgery on a fractured arm, an injury he sustained while scoring a brace in Sunday’s 3-2 win at Aston Villa. The Spurs’ European fate hangs in the balance after Timo Werner’s second half penalty clinched an important first leg win for Leipzig, marking Tottenham’s first defeat since Liverpool edged the team 1-0 on January 11. Mourinho will face Chelsea, a club in which he won more trophies than any other club in his career.

Chelsea has its own share of injury concerns ahead of the capital clash, with N’Golo Kante, Callum Hudson-Odoi and Christian Pulisic each certain to miss out. Ruben Loftus-Cheek is battling to make his first appearance of the season, while centre-back Andreas Christensen hopes to be involved after suffering a facial injury in Monday’s 2-0 loss at home to Manchester United.

Striker Tammy Abraham wasn’t involved in that defeat and could come back into the lineup at the expense of Michy Batshuayi, who failed to inspire against the Red Devils.

Mourinho has won four of his 10 meetings with Chelsea over the course of his career, though only two of those have come in the past decade. Son was sent off when the Spurs lost 2-0 at home to Chelsea in December, and the team’s chances don’t look much brighter ahead of the reverse fixture.

Watch Tottenham Hotspur vs. RB Leipzig Live Online.

The holidays are finally behind us, which means soccer fans can open their real presents. The Champions League is back and the Round of 16 promises to be must-see TV. Jose Mourinho’s Tottenham hosts Bundesliga title contenders RB Leipzig on Wednesday in the first leg of their knockout round tie. While one club may be more recognizable to the Champions League scene, this matchup is about as even and unpredictable as it gets. 

Tottenham Hotspur vs. RB Leipzig

Spurs actually spent money in the January transfer window to improve their floundering squad. The additions of winger Steven Bergwijn and midfielder Gedson Fernandes has given Mourinho some interesting options when it comes to his best lineup. Tottenham’s recent form since those moves has improved, suggesting the morale has also risen. A return to the Champions League next season now looks within reach domestically, but its attention must be focused on a very good Leipzig team. It will be difficult for the Spurs without the services of the injured Son Heung-min or Harry Kane up top, but the talent is there to make another deep run in this competition. 

The winter break was not kind to RB Leipzig. After becoming first-half champions in the Bundesliga, the team has come back with inconsistent form. RB Leipzig relinquished its lead atop the table to Bayern Munich and finds itself in a neck-and-neck battle. Life won’t get much easier in Europe when the team faces a Spurs team hungry to prove last season’s appearance in the final was no fluke. To make matters worse, Leipzig’s leading scorer Timo Werner has gone cold in front of goal. If the Germans have a chance to get past this round, the team needs him to rediscover his first half form.

Watch Chelsea vs. Manchester United Live Online.

Manchester United is undefeated in its last three visits to Stamford Bridge and travels to Chelsea on Monday as both teams seek a triumphant return from the Premier League’s mid-season break. The Blues haven’t lost at home since they fell 2-0 to Southampton on Boxing Day, while Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side is still seeking its first away league win of 2020.

[protected-iframe id=”59ebe181bd95a408ffd30d712f2d1f25-58289342-150719707″ info=”https://fubo-preview.global.ssl.fastly.net/lp/preview/index-lite.html?params=irad%3D540143%26irmp%3D1205322%26pack%3Dfubotv-basic&page_slug=NBCSN” style=”max-width: 640px;” width = “100%”]

Chelsea vs. Manchester United United

Both teams are on three-game winning streaks without defeat ahead of their Week 26 clash, and the Red Devils travel to West London missing at least six first team players. Solskjaer recently told reporters Paul Pogba remains sidelined due to injury, as is the case for Marcus Rashford, Scott McTominay, Axel Tuanzebe, Timothy Fosu-Mensah, and reserve goalkeeper Lee Grant.

Former Chelsea midfielder Nemanja Matic is back in contention following suspension. His return may see Bruno Fernandes move into more of an attacking role than was seen in his debut against the Wolverhampton Wanderers.

The visit to Stamford Bridge could also see January signing Odion Ighalo—on loan from Shanghai Shenhua—make his United debut after Solskjaer confirmed he’d be part of his squad.

Chelsea has failed to beat United in its past five meetings across all competitions, and its last victory over the Red Devils came at Wembley Stadium in the 2018 FA Cup final. Alvaro Morata—now at Atletico Madrid—provided the only goal when the Blues last toppled United at the Bridge.

Manager Frank Lampard hopes incumbent striker Tammy Abraham is fit to start after nursing an ankle injury. Michy Batshuayi could be called upon should the England frontman fail to recover, with the Belgian having struck for Chelsea when it fell 2-1 at home to United in the Carabao Cup fourth round in October. 

United States star Christian Pulisic and Ruben Loftus-Cheek are also in the running to return from injury, with the latter hoping to make his first appearance of the 2019-20 campaign.

Solskjaer’s setup will be of interest if United prioritizes a fast counter, as has been the case in most of its “major” games this season, with several new faces out to impress in particular.

Watch Arsenal vs. Newcastle United Live Online.

A run of four successive Premier League draws has left 10th place Arsenal level on points with Newcastle United as the Magpies prepare to visit Emirates Stadium on Sunday. Mikel Arteta’s men return to action following their inaugural mid-season break and hope to secure its first top-flight win since beating Manchester United 2-0 on New Year’s Day.

Arsenal vs. Newcastle United 

  • When: Sunday, February 16

  • TV: NBCSN
  • Live Stream: fuboTV (watch for free)

The Gunners are 10 points off the top four with 13 matches remaining, and a win in Week 26 will be considered a must given Steve Bruce’s side will climb ahead of the team should it fail.

Newcastle has lost its last seven visits to Emirates Stadium and failed to score in the last three, having last emerged as victors there in November 2010. That being said, Newcastle is undefeated in eight games across all competitions and secured draws vs. Wolverhampton Wanderers and Everton in its last two Premier League away trips.

Steve Bruce has faced Arsenal more than any other team during his managerial career—this will be his 29th encounter—although his record doesn’t stir much encouragement. He’s beaten the North Londoners just twice in 20 years, once with Birmingham City in May 2005 and again at Sunderland in November 2009. Bruce’s teams have also failed to score in their last three clashes against the Gunners, most recently losing 1-0 at St. James’ Park in August.

January loan signing Pablo Mari could make his debut at Emirates. The Flamengo center-back hasn’t played since December, meaning Shkodran Mustafi is in contention to keep his place alongside David Luiz in central defense.

Fellow winter arrival Cedric Soares will not make his Arsenal debut just yet, having arrived from Southampton carrying an injury. Kieran Tierney and Reiss Nelson are also certain to miss out, while Bukayo Saka and Sead Kolasinac are in the running at left-back.

Newcastle’s injury list is more extensive, and Bruce is hoping he’ll have 2019 signings Joelinton and Miguel Almiron fit following slight injuries. Danny Rose could make his full debut at left-back, a move that may see Matt Ritchie move to the right at DeAndre Yedlin’s expense.

Arteta’s men will be considered favorites to overcome the Magpies at home, though Bruce’s high-flyers have recovered from a poor start this season to show they’re capable of an upset.

After a rare break, the Premier League resumes with Liverpool still on track for history. The next obstacle in the Reds path toward immortality is a trip to Carrow Road to take on the bottom of the table Norwich City. With just 13 league matches remaining in the season, Jurgen Klopp’s side can feel the title of “The Invincibles” inching closer.

On paper, this match should be nothing but a formality, another easy victory for Liverpool to stack up onto the enormous pile its already collected. However, it’s two full weeks since the league leader has played a competitive match. While rest is always important, especially during a long and grueling season, rust is always a possibility when returning from time off. On no planet should Norwich City, a team dead last in the Premier League, have any chance of beating the most in-form team we’ve possibly ever seen. 

Rust isn’t the only worry for Liverpool as it looks to keep its unbeaten season intact. Complacency is also a challenge. Going away from home is never easy. If the Reds don’t come out focused, there’s always the chance the team could be blindsided by a team who is gunning to knock Liverpool off its perch. We’ve seen it time and time again in this sport when massive underdogs, who aren’t given any chance, pull off the unlikely result. Liverpool must come in ready or chance the same fate.

Manchester United and Wolves meet for the third time in less than a month on Saturday. Unlike the previous two matches which took place in the FA Cup, with the first ending scoreless and the second seeing United prevail 1-0, this one has league implications. With both teams sitting on 34 points, six behind the fourth and final Champions League spot, this will be a huge three points up for grabs.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side must recover from the disappointment of being knocked out of the Carabao Cup semifinals by its rivals Manchester City. However, considering the team’s history over the last several years, rebounding from disappointment shouldn’t be too foreign. 

It’s hard to lay too much blame on the Norwegian manager as his side has been ravaged by injury. Marcus Rashford has been sidelined until March, while Paul Pogba remains out as well. The Red Devils have been handed some good news in the transfer market, as Portuguese star midfielder Bruno Fernandes has joined from Sporting Lisbon in a big-money move. 

On the other side of the coin, Wolves have been one of the most difficult sides to play in the Premier League this season. They have just as good a chance as any other team to chase down Chelsea for the fourth spot. With Mexican international Raul Jimenez scoring nearly every week and explosive winger Adama Traore causing havoc on a weekly basis, Wolves are a nightmare for any team to play.

Arsenal holds a record of one win in its last 12 games and travels to Goodison Park on Saturday, desperate to stay in the top half. Everton lies 16th and four points below the north Londoners, but Duncan Ferguson has rejuvenated the Toffees after taking four points out of a possible six as interim manager.

The Merseysiders can move within one point of Arsenal and likely drag them into the bottom half if they can win a second time in three games under Ferguson. The Scot was appointed as a temporary replacement for Marco Silva, who was fired at the beginning of December. Ferguson beat Chelsea 3-1 in his debut before drawing 1-1 at Manchester United on Sunday.

Arsenal hasn’t enjoyed quite the same success with its own former player and interim boss Freddie Ljungberg, who won just one of his five matches in charge of the Gunners. Former player Mikel Arteta, who most recently was an assistant coach with Manchester City, was announced as the new manager of Arsenal earlier this week.

Currently ninth in the table, Arsenal is already seven points off the top four approaching the midway point this season, with morale low following Sunday’s 3-0 loss at home to Manchester City. Kevin De Bruyne dismantled Ljungberg’s team scoring twice and assisting Raheem Sterling at Emirates Stadium. 

Meanwhile, Everton conceded a late Mason Greenwood equalizer after leading for much of the visit to Old Trafford. Theo Walcott and Morgan Schneiderlin remain out of action for Ferguson, as are long-term absentees Andre Gomes and Jean-Philippe Gbamin. Lucas Digne came off in the first half against United and could also be in doubt.

Dani Ceballos and Granit Xhaka are questionable in midfield, meaning Ljungberg could again look to the likes of Bakayo Saka, 18, Emile Smith Rowe, 19, and Joe Willock, 20, off the bench.

Manchester City vs. Manchester United 

When: Saturday, December 7

Time: 12:30 p.m. ET

TV: NBCSN

Live Stream: fuboTV (watch for free)

United lost 3-1 when it last traveled to Etihad Stadium in Nov. 2018, when Anthony Martial scored the visiting side’s only goal from the penalty spot. 

Martial missed Wednesday’s 2-1 win over Tottenham Hotspur after he suffered an injury in the recent 2-2 draw against Aston Villa. However, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer said on Friday that Martial could be involved in the derby, but wasn’t sure yet if he would start. 

Paul Pogba is still nursing an ankle injury and won’t return for United. Guardiola said in late November that it would be a miracle if Sergio Aguero regained fitness in time to be featured, while winger Leroy Sane and centre-back Aymeric Laporte remain long-term absentees for City.

Oleksandr Zinchenko is also a doubt, meaning Guardiola could retain Angelino at left-back after benching Benjamin Mendy in favor of the Spaniard during the recent 4-1 win over Burnley.

This will be Solskjaer’s first visit to Etihad as the United manager. He’s hoping to revive some of his side’s confidence in the backyard of its noisy neighbors. Prior to its loss at Etihad last November, United was unbeaten in three visits to this ground and won two of those.

Liverpool will relish the thought of third-place City dropping more points after the team recently drew 2-2 at Newcastle United, allowing Leicester City to establish breathing room in second place.

The mid-week win over the Spurs saw United climb up to sixth, going undefeated four league matches in a row for the first time this season. It also marked the team’s first run of more than two wins this term. That being said, the result against Jose Mourinho’s side was also its first win in four games. 

City has dropped just four Premier League points at home this season and is unbeaten in six at Etihad, but United hopes the derby occasion will give it the might to topple the hosts.
