Matchweek 23 Previews

Manchester United v. Everton

Manchester United are coming off a 9-0 hammering of Southampton on Tuesday, the joint-largest win in Premier League history. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s men will try to keep pace with leaders Manchester City this weekend against Everton, who have struggled massively at Old Trafford in the past. The Toffees have just one win in their last 27 Premier League away meetings at Manchester United.

Wolves v. Leicester City

Wolves earned a much-needed 3 points against Arsenal on Tuesday, as they continue to adapt to life without their injured main scoring option in Raul Jimenez. They host Leicester City this weekend, who might be without their top scorer, Jamie Vardy. Still, the Foxes have just 1 loss in their last 11 matches in all competitions and have the 2nd-most points away from home in the Premier League this season.

Liverpool v. Manchester City

It’s the big one. The champions Liverpool, once unbeaten in 68 consecutive Premier League home matches, have now lost 2 straight games at Anfield to bottom-half clubs Burnley and Brighton. Now, they welcome top-of-the-table Manchester City, who have kept 6 straight Premier League clean sheets and haven’t lost any match since November. Pep Guardiola’s men have 13 straight wins in all competitions, one shy of matching the all-time record by an English top-flight club.

Sheffield United v. Chelsea

Yes, Sheffield United sit in last place in the Premier League, but they’ve now won 5 of their last 7 matches in all competitions and are fighting for a miracle to avoid relegation. This weekend they host Chelsea, who the Blades beat in this fixture this season. Chelsea are unbeaten in their first 3 matches under new head coach Thomas Tuchel, keeping a clean sheet in all three games but have also only scored three goals.

Leeds United v. Crystal Palace

You never know what you’re going to get from Leeds United, who have lost their last 2 Premier League home games. Against Crystal Palace, will you see the team that won 3-1 at Leicester City last weekend or the one that lost 2-1 at home to Everton on Wednesday? They won’t have to face Palace’s main man Wilfried Zaha, who is out with a hamstring injury. But, Roy Hodgson’s team have won their last 2 Premier League matches and will look to win 3 straight for the first time this season.
