Gameweek 21 of the Premier League is upon us, and we look at some of the potential outcomes from this week’s thrilling battles including the high-octane Manchester United vs Tottenham clash.
Burnley vs Luton Town
Burnley host Luton Town in the Premier League this weekend, and they will look to bounce back after two consecutive defeats.
The home side are 19th in the league table, and they will need to pick up points in these matches to preserve their status as a top-flight club next season. Vincent Kompany’s men have crashed to four defeats from their last six league matches, and the home fans will be expecting a strong reaction here.
Meanwhile, Luton Town crashed to a defeat against Chelsea in their last league outing after two consecutive victories. They will look to get back to winning ways here. The visitors are 18th in the league table, and they will look to climb out of the bottom three with the win here. They are in similar form compared to Burnley and have lost four of their last six league matches.
Both teams will be desperate to avoid the defeat here, and this is likely to be a close contest. Burnley have drawn their last three home matches against Luton, and this one is likely to follow suit. The two teams are likely to cancel each other out.
Probable Bet: Draw
Chelsea vs Fulham

Chelsea host Fulham in the London Derby this weekend, and they will look to add to their recent run of form with the wind at home. They have picked up two consecutive victories in the league, and Chelsea will look to climb further up the table with a win here.
Fulham are 13th in the league table, and they ended their losing streak with a win over Arsenal last time out. They will look to pull off an upset against Chelsea as well. However the Blues have a formidable record against Fulham and they have won nine of their last 11 matches against the London club. They have also kept a clean sheet in their last six home matches against Fulham.
Chelsea should be able to grind out all three points here.
Probable Bet: Chelsea win
Newcastle United vs Manchester City

Newcastle United host Manchester City in the Premier League this weekend, and they will look to get their stuttering campaign back on track. The Magpies have dropped down to ninth in the league table, and they have lost five of the last six league matches.
A win over Manchester City could give them the confidence boost they need and help them turn their season around. On the other hand, Manchester City have dropped quite a few points in their last few outings, and they will need to win these matches to win the league title. Both teams will be looking for a win here and this is likely to be an open game with a fair few goals.
19 goals have been scored in the last six meetings between these two sides, and Manchester City have been scoring goals freely in their last few outings as well. The Premier League champions have scored 17 goals in their last five matches across all competitions, and this is likely to be a high scoring game.
Probable Bet: Over 2.5 goals
Everton vs Aston Villa
Everton host Aston Villa in the Premier League this weekend, and they will look to end their losing streak with a positive result at home. They are coming into this game on the back of three consecutive league defeats, and the home fans will expect a strong reaction here. Everton are very much in the relegation battle and cannot afford to slip up anymore.
Meanwhile, Aston Villa bounced back from the defeat against Manchester United with a win over Burnley, and they will look to close the gap with the league leaders. They are second in the league table and will look to pull off all three points.
Aston Villa have picked up five wins from their last six matches against Everton, and they will be the favourites to come away with a win here. The Toffees have lost their last three league games, conceding at least twice in each of them. The away side should be able to come out on top here.
Probable Bet: Aston Villa to win or draw
Manchester United vs Tottehham

Manchester United take on Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League this weekend, and they will look to get their top four push back on track with a victory against the London club.
Manchester united have picked up just two wins from their last six league matches, and they are coming into this game on the back of a defeat against Nottingham Forest. They will be desperate to bounce back strongly.
Tottenham managed to beat them earlier this season, and Manchester United will look to avenge that defeat here. Meanwhile, Tottenham are fifth in the league table, and they have picked up four wins from their last five league matches.
They will look to fix their poor away record against the Red Devils. Manchester United are unbeaten in five of their last six matches against Tottenham, but this is likely to be a close contest.
20 goals have been scored in the last six meetings between these two teams and given the way the two sides have performed defensively in their recent outings, this is likely to be a high scoring contest as well. Manchester United have conceded at least twice in each of their last three league matches.
Probable Bet: Over 2.5 goals/Both teams to score
