Matchday 28 of the English Premier League season promises another thrilling weekend of football action, with six exciting fixtures scheduled for Saturday. As the battle for the title, European spots and survival heats up, fans can expect plenty of drama, goals and stand-out performances.
Nottingham Forest vs Manchester City
While Manchester City have struggled at times throughout this season, Erling Haaland has continued to fire in the goals at an extraordinary rate, boasting 28 goals from 37 matches across all competitions.
Haaland has netted four goals in his last four games for Man City in all tournaments, and with Forest’s defensive frailties in recent weeks – conceding nine in their last five – we believe the striker will score again here.
Erling Haaland to score anytime, 2.10
Liverpool vs Southampton
Liverpool’s superb season continued in their latest outing, defeating Paris Saint-Germain 1-0 in the first leg of their Champions League last-16 tie, leaving them still on course to lift the Premier League, Champions League and EFL Cup trophies this season.
The Reds are now undefeated in their last six outings, with four wins and two defeats, and they will be major favourites heading into this matchup with the Premier League’s worst performing side.
Southampton are rock bottom of the Premier League with just nine points from 27 fixtures, conceding an astonishing 65 goals in that time, so expect a Liverpool victory with plenty of goals.
Liverpool to win & over 3.5 goals, 1.73
Brentford vs Aston Villa
Marco Asensio has been sensational since joining Aston Villa on loan in the January transfer window, netting five goals in his first seven appearances for the club across all competitions.
While Aston Villa will face a challenging opponent in Brentford, both of these sides have been involved in plenty of goals in the league this term – Villa with 40 scored and 45 conceded and Brentford with 48 scored and 43 conceded – meaning we expect plenty of chances for both teams.
With this, there is good value for Asensio to continue his goalscoring form with yet another in this one.
Marco Asensio to score anytime, 3.75
Wolves vs Everton
Wolves and Everton face off on Saturday night, with the hosts looking to distance themselves from the relegation zone – something that the Toffees have already achieved since David Moyes took charge.
Wolves are just five points above the drop zone, while Everton have moved 15 points clear, thanks to winning four and drawing three of their last seven Premier League fixtures.
While Wolves will be desperate for the victory to strengthen their survival hopes, Everton are in such strong form that we believe the Toffees will win this one.
