There are high expectations ahead of this match, which rules out a draw. Gracing this week's league games with the opener and fighting for a confirmed place in the European tournament, ideally the Champions League, there are high expectations ahead of this match.
Based on the most recent installment for both clubs, Arsenal has the upper hand, especially with a game in hand; however, when comparing the depth of both sides' squads, 'the Red Devils' have the edge, and as previously stated, 'the Gunners' outstanding fixture means a loss won't be good for next season's European campaign, so United pulling a slack is guaranteed.
Newcastle United vs. Norwich City
Norwich City are currently rooted to the bottom of the Premier League, eight points behind 17th-placed Everton, and appear to be running out of time to save their season. However, with a 9th home record (W6, D3) against Newcastle United ahead of this match, history appears to be on their side. On a three-game winning streak, the 'Magpies' are out of the relegation zone and looking forward to their next challenge, which is European football. With twelve points separating them from West Ham United in seventh place and fourteen points separating them from sixth place, there is still hope because fifteen points are up for grabs.Newcastle United are on the right track, and losing this game is not an option given the magnitude of the task at hand.
Tottenham vs. Brentford
Brentford's dream or next task is to finish in the top half of the table after their third consecutive league win, but their prospects of doing so this week against Tottenham look slim based on their previous meetings (W5, D1). Spurs need to deliver to avoid back-to-back defeats and stay in the top-four battle, and given goals haven't been an issue recently, holding on to fourth place this week is a strong possibility.
West Ham United vs. Chelsea
With another London derby set to take place at Stamford Bridge this week, any further blunders could jeopardize 'the Blues' solid third-place position, despite having played exceptionally well. After losing to Arsenal in midweek, Thomas Tuchel would like to put an end to the eight goals conceded in three games, especially against European semifinalists and a team whose win this week will ensure another European qualification. Chelsea has a record of seventeen wins against five losses, thus bouncing back from such humiliating results in their last game appears to be a distinct possibility.
This week's top picks are Leicester City, Manchester City, Southampton (XD), Wolverhampton Wanderers, Liverpool, and Leeds United (XD).
