Premier League: 4 matches that could produce shocking results this weekend
The Premier League enters Game Week 24 this weekend, with teams fighting for crucial points at both ends of the table.
Manchester City’s clash with Tottenham Hotspur in North London is the standout fixture, but before then, there will be a couple of interesting games.
So, in which matches can we expect to see upsets?
1. Leeds vs Arsenal: The 3-2 defeat to Manchester United last weekend, means that Arsenal have not won in their last three league fixtures. The other two ended 0-0 against Liverpool and Nottingham Forest. Mikel Arteta’s men seem to be in the middle of a wobble and it could continue under the red-hot atmosphere of Elland Road.
2. Chelsea vs West Ham: Liam Rosenior has gotten off to a good start at Chelsea, only losing the first leg of their Carabao Cup semi-final to Arsenal. But this weekend, they host a resurgent West Ham, who beginning to pick up the points they need to climb up the table. With one eye on the second leg at the Emirates, the Blues could drop points.
3. Liverpool vs Newcastle: It has also been a long time since Liverpool won in the league and last weekend, they lost 3-2 at Bournemouth in the last minute. Newcastle themselves are not in the best form, but that 1-1 draw with Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League, will set them up nicely for the big games coming up, including the Carabao Cup semi-final second leg.
4. Man Utd vs Fulham: Under Michael Carrick, United have recorded huge back-to-back wins against Manchester City and Arsenal. But in those games, they were the underdogs and played mostly on the counter-attack. The match against in-form Fulham will be a different kettle of fish, as the Red Devils have to try and take initiative against a midblock team.
