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 exciting Arsenal vs Crystal Palace and Bournemouth vs Liverpool clashes.
Arsenal vs Crystal Palace
Arsenal host Crystal Palace in the Premier League this weekend, and they will look to get their stuttering campaign back on track with the win at home. They have failed to win four of their last five league matches and cannot afford to keep dropping points if they want to stay in the title race.
Meanwhile, Crystal Palace are 14th in the league table, and they ended their winless streak with a win over Brentford last time out. It remains to be seen whether they can take advantage of Arsenal’s frailties and grind out a result here.
The Gunners have a formidable record against Crystal Palace, and they are unbeaten in five of the last six meetings against the Eagles. In addition, they have scored at least twice in six of the last seven home meetings against Palace. The home team are certainly the favourites here and they should be able to grind out a narrow win.
Probable Bet: Arsenal to win
Brentford vs Nottingham Forest
Brentford will look to end their losing streak when they take on Nottingham Forest, and the much-awaited return of Ivan Toney could be a game changer for them. The home side have lost their last five matches in the league, and they are under a lot of pressure now.
Nottingham forest ended their losing streak with two back-to-back victories in the league, and they will be confident of getting something out of this contest. This is likely to be a close contest, and both teams will be desperate for a win.
16 goals have been scored in the last six matches between these two sides, and both teams have got on the scoresheet in their last five meetings. They are likely to get on the scoresheet once again and a high scoring game is likely.
Probable Bet: Both teams to score
Sheffield United vs West Ham United
Sheffield United host West Ham United in the Premier League this weekend, and the bottom-placed side will look to get back to winning ways. They have failed to win any of the last four league matches and come into this game on the back of consecutive defeats.
West Ham has been quite impressive in recent weeks, and they are unbeaten in five of their last six league outings. The Hammers were held to a draw against Brighton in their last game, and they will look to get back to winning ways.
West Ham have kept clean sheet in the last four league games, and they will fancy their chances of grinding out all three points here. Sheffield United have failed to win 18 of their last 20 league matches, and their miserable run of form is likely to continue.
Probable Bet: West Ham win
Bournemouth vs Liverpool
Since Mohamed Salah joined Liverpool in 2017, he’s only missed 10 Premier League matches and Liverpool are undefeated in them 🔥

Bournemouth host Liverpool in the Premier League this weekend, and they will look to continue their impressive run of form with a morale boosting victory here. The Cherries crashed to a defeat against Tottenham last time out, but they had won four matches on a row prior to that.
On the other hand, Liverpool have picked up four wins and two draws from the last six league games. They are on top of the table and will look to extend their lead over the arrivals. The Reds have won five of their last six meetings against Brentford, and they will be the favourites heading into this contest.
The last six meetings between these two teams have produced a total of 23 goals, and this one is unlikely to be any different. Both teams have been quite attacking in their approach this season, and a high-scoring contest is on the cards.
Probable Bet: Over 2.5 goals
Brighton vs Wolves
Brighton host Wolverhampton Wanderers in the final match of this game week, and they will look to close in on the European qualification spots with a win at home.
The hosts are unbeaten in five of their last six matches, and they are up against a rejuvenated Wolves outfit. The visitors have picked up three consecutive wins in the league, and this is likely to be a cracking contest.
The last six meetings between these two teams have produced a total of 23 goals, and both teams will look to pick up all three points here. This is likely to be an open game with a fair few chances for either side. Both teams have been quite vulnerable defensively, and a high-scoring game seems quite likely.
Probable Bet: Over 2.5 goals
