There is a full house of top quality English Premier League matches going on this weekend, with Manchester United taking on Tottenham Hotspur in a key fixture between two teams who have been inconsistent so far this season. On top of this, there are nine more highly contested fixtures to take a look at as clubs look to climb up the league table
We spoke to Bet9ja Ambassador Victor Ikpeba about his thoughts and predictions for the fixtures – you can bet on over 200 markets for each match here at Bet9ja.
Newcastle vs Manchester City
Newcastle will be looking to exploit home advantage against a Manchester City side missing Rodri. City still boast incredible attacking power, but if Newcastle press aggressively, they could make it a tough afternoon for the champions.
Victor Ikpeba’s prediction: Draw.
Arsenal vs Leicester
Arsenal, fresh off a strong result against City, should dominate a struggling Leicester. The Gunners will control the tempo, and their attacking threats like Saka and Havertz should prove too much for the Foxes.
Victor Ikpeba’s prediction: Arsenal win.
Chelsea vs Brighton
Chelsea’s recent form has been impressive, with Nicolas Jackson shining up front. Brighton’s high defensive line has been exposed this season, and unless they tighten up, Chelsea’s attack will exploit their vulnerabilities.
Victor Ikpeba’s prediction: Chelsea win.
Manchester United vs Tottenham
This match-up sees two inconsistent teams. With Rashford likely back in the starting line-up for United, and Maddison orchestrating play for Spurs, it should be an entertaining but tight contest. Both defences have question marks.
Victor Ikpeba’s prediction: Draw.
Brentford vs West Ham
Both teams are coming off disappointing results and will be eager to bounce back. Brentford’s physical, direct approach could trouble West Ham, who may struggle to keep them at bay in a competitive clash.
Victor Ikpeba’s prediction: Draw.
Everton vs Crystal Palace
Everton are under significant pressure after recent performances, while Crystal Palace have struggled to score consistently. Both teams will be desperate for points, but neither side has shown enough to win this.
Victor Ikpeba’s prediction: Draw.
Nottingham Forest vs Fulham
Forest will aim to continue their good form at home, despite the absence of Gibbs-White. Fulham were impressive last week, but Forest should have enough to edge a close game in front of their supporters.
Victor Ikpeba’s prediction: Nottingham Forest win.
Wolves vs Liverpool
Liverpool’s attacking firepower, under the guidance of Arne Slot, looks too much for a Wolves side that showed resilience against Villa but are vulnerable against top-quality opposition. Expect a commanding Liverpool performance.
Victor Ikpeba’s prediction: Liverpool win.
Ipswich vs Aston Villa
Aston Villa are full of confidence and goals, with players like Ollie Watkins and Morgan Rogers in top form. Ipswich are struggling to find their feet, and Villa’s attacking quality should overwhelm them.
Victor Ikpeba’s prediction: Aston Villa win.
Bournemouth vs Southampton
This South Coast derby will be a tight affair. Both teams have struggled for wins, and given the local rivalry, a fiercely contested draw seems the most likely outcome.
Victor Ikpeba’s prediction: Draw.
