EPL: 4 fixtures we could see shock results this weekend
The Premier League Matchday 29 will take place this weekend, starting Friday and continuing into Saturday evening.
This follows the conclusion of the UEFA Champions League and Europa League Round of 16 stage in midweek.
The top Premier League match of the weekend is the London derby clash between Arsenal and Chelsea.
Arsenal will host Chelsea at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday afternoon.
So, which other matches are likely to produce shock results this weekend?
Man City vs Brighton: This match will take place on Saturday evening at the Etihad Stadium. City currently sit above Brighton on the Premier League table. Pep Guardiola’s side are in 5th position, just one point ahead of Brighton in 7th. Brighton won the reverse fixture 2-1 last November and could complete a league double against the Premier League champions in their own backyard.
Leicester City vs Man United: This match will take place at the King Power Stadium on Sunday. Man United won 3-0 in the reverse fixture last November at Old Trafford. The Red Devils currently sit in 14th position on the Premier League table, while Leicester occupy 19th place. The Foxes will hope to avoid another defeat to United in the Premier League this term when they face Ruben Amorim’s side at home and could secure a positive result against the visitors.
Fulham vs Tottenham: This game will take place on Sunday at Craven Cottage. The reverse fixture ended in a 1-1 draw last December. Fulham currently sit in 10th position on the Premier League table with 42 points from 28 games, while Tottenham are in 13th position with 34 points from the same number of games. However, Spurs could shock Fulham at home by securing all three points, having drawn their last Premier League tie against Marco Silva’s men.
Ipswich vs Nottingham Forest: This game will take place this evening at Portman Road. Nottingham Forest currently sit in third position on the Premier League table, while Ipswich Town are in the relegation zone in 18th place. Nottingham Forest won the reverse fixture 1-0 at home last November. However, Ipswich will hope to avoid another defeat to Forest and could spring a surprise, relying on their home advantage.
