Jurgen Klopp troops crushed pass Bournemouth last week. They had their second clean-sheet in the English EPL last week. The Reds are now 14 points clear of title holders Man City in the Premier League table. Leicester City seems to be the team coming against them now. A close encounter is on the bet but Watford has not been good in both home and away so our bet will be for the home team.
Matchday 17 Game between Burnley vs Newcastle United
Burnley will be aiming to bounce back from a massive 5-0 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur. They will be hosting Newcastle United at their Turf Moor on Saturday in Matchday 17. The Clarets suffered a dip in form, with the team conceding 11 goals in their last three league fixtures. Burnley players are low on confidence ahead of Saturday’s clash against Newcastle United. They will, as always, leave their hearts on the field when playing in front of home fans.
The Magpies, on the other hand, aim to build on a come-from-behind win over Southampton. Jonjo Shelvey has been in a splendid form of late, and, no doubt, all eyes will be on him when Burnley and Newcastle United face each other at Turf Moor. Anyhow, the share of spoils is on the cards as the Magpies are not regarded as good travelers.

Chelsea will be looking to make amends for a 3-1 loss to Everton when they host Bournemouth at their Stamford Bridge on Matchday 17. The Blues aim to stay in the Champions League berth in the Premier League standings. We are positive that they will go all guns blazing at the Cherries. Tammy Abraham failed to impress in the 3-1 loss to Duncan Ferguson’s troops. The England international who a rising star is likely to prove a handful for Bournemouth defenders.
The Cherries have been slipping down the standings week by week. Eddie Howe’s troops suffered a 3-0 loss to Liverpool in their last league fixture, they have now lost five game on a roll. Chelsea are more of a team than Bournemouth. We are positive that Frank Lampard’s men are going to pick up all three points from Saturday’s football game.

St. Mary’s Stadium will host Saturday’s Matchday 17 football game between Southampton and West Ham United. The two teams are sitting in the danger zone in the Premier League standings. The Saints head into the match following a 2-1 loss at Newcastle United where experienced attacker Danny Ings extended his goal-scoring run. Southampton will be eyeing their third consecutive home win in the Premier League. They are surely capable of making life difficult for the out-of-sorts Hammers.
The capital club did well to beat Chelsea at Stamford Bridge last month, but they lost to Arsenal earlier this week. Their current form is not one to bank on and so it won’t be wise to give away win. Considering the fact that Southampton have been producing promising result on home soil of late, we predict that home win is best. In their last meeting in the Premier League, the Hammers outclassed the Saints 3-0, meaning that the hosts are hungry for revenge.

Brendan Rodgers’ troops will not want their title dream to be over just yet. We are positive that they are going to adopt an attack-minded approach in Saturday’s football game.
Jamie Vardy, who is not getting any older, is eager to add more goals to his account, and the Premier League top scorer is likely to prove a handful for Norwich City defenders. The Canaries have been struggling at the back in the 2019/2020 season, with the sitting in penultimate position in the standings. Norwich City face an uphill task in Saturday’s clash against the in-form Foxes, and we do not believe that they are capable of grabbing something from the game.

Sheffield come from behind to beat Norwich City 2-1 on the road, in their last game in the EPL. They will be looking to give fans yet another reason for celebration when they welcome Aston Villa at their Bramall Lane on Saturday afternoon. The Blades have been playing above expectations in the first half of the season, but they need to keep on improving their game if they are to secure the Premier League survival.

Nuno Espirito Santo’s men are a real force to be reckoned with at home, meaning that a lively contest is on the cards at Molineux Stadium.
Matchday 17 Game between Arsenal vs Manchester City
All eyes will be on Emirates Stadium when Arsenal and Manchester City face each other in the Premier League derby. The Gunners made a slow start to the season, and, as a result, Spanish tactician Unai Emery is no longer in charge of the capital club. Interim manager Freddy Ljungberg is eager to help the team regain much-needed confidence. He has only won one out of his four games with team, a win over the star-studded title holders will surely give the hosts a confidence boost.
