Aston villa vs Asrsenal
Villa were picked off at home by an impressive West Ham team inspired by two-goal debutant Jesse Lingard in midweek, and the host’s 3-1 defeat was the fourth time in seven games where over 2.5 goals were notched. Jack Grealish and Ollie Watkins linked up brilliantly for Villa’s consolation effort, and that deadly attacking duo worked in tandem back in November at the Emirates Stadium when the Villains shocked Arsenal with a thumping 3-0 win.
Villa can approach Saturday’s game with confidence having walloped Arsenal 3-0 in the reverse fixture, and with Jack Grealish and Ollie Watkins both in superb individual form, the Villains can steal the points. Astonvilla to win or Draw
Fullham vs West ham
Fulham’s lengthy search for a third Premier League victory of the campaign continues, and the Cottagers’ 2-0 defeat to title contenders Leicester City pushed their winless run to 11 matches since last November.
With a sizeable eight points between Fulham and safety and a sequence of three straight defeats at home, things are starting to look ominous, and with the threat of relegation starting to loom large, Scott Parker will be fearing the worst against his old team on Saturday. Fulham have failed to register in four of their last five league assignments at home, and the Cottagers conceded exactly twice in three of their last four top-flight tests. West Ham have the quality and confidence to punish their hosts, and a 2-0 Irons’ win is favoured as a result. Prediction : West ham to win 2-0 at full time
Ausburg vs Wolfsburg
Oliver Glasner’s side have lost only two of their 19 league games this season, with their defeats coming on arguably their two toughest road trips of the campaign at Bayern and Dortmund. Wolfsburg have been making hay against everyone else and consecutive away league wins to nil at Mainz and Leverkusen tees them up nicely for their trip to the Augsburg Arena.
The visitors were 2-1 winners on last season’s visit to Augsburg and the current form of both sides suggests they should repeat the trick. Those opting for a correct score should opt for a narrow 1-0 win. Wolfsburg have won their last four matches in all competitions to nil and Augsburg’s last defeat on home turf finished 1-0 against Bayern. Prediction: Ausburg to win at full time.
