Premier League GW 27 Predictions: Newcastle United, Tottenham Hotspur, Liverpool, Chelsea, Everton, Fulham, Aston Villa, Bournemouth, Manchester City, Arsenal

Paul Merson shares his predictions for the upcoming Premier League GW 27 fixtures.

Newcastle United vs Wolverhampton Wanderers

Eddie Howe

Newcastle United suffered a heavy defeat against Arsenal in their last match, but they had a positive result in the FA Cup. However, their cup run is likely to end against Manchester City in the quarterfinals. Wolverhampton Wanderers, on the other hand, are an underrated team and have been entertaining to watch under Gary O'Neil. While this match is expected to have goals, Newcastle United is predicted to secure a narrow victory at home.

Prediction: Newcastle United 3-2 Wolverhampton Wanderers

Tottenham Hotspur vs Crystal Palace

Ange Postecoglou

Crystal Palace has struggled this season, especially without key players Eberechi Eze and Michael Olise. Tottenham Hotspur, under the management of Ange Postecoglou, is expected to take advantage of Palace's weakened squad and secure a comfortable win in front of their home fans.

Prediction: Tottenham Hotspur 3-1 Crystal Palace

Nottingham Forest vs Liverpool

Jurgen Klopp

Nottingham Forest's exit from the FA Cup may be seen as a blessing in disguise, but Liverpool's injury concerns and reliance on young players could pose a challenge. However, with the potential return of several senior players, including Darwin Nunez, Mohamed Salah, Dominik Szoboszlai, and Wataru Endo, Liverpool is favored to come out on top in this match. The outcome will depend on Jurgen Klopp's selection and approach, but a Liverpool victory is predicted.

Prediction: Nottingham Forest 1-2 Liverpool

Brentford vs Chelsea

Mauricio Pochettino

Brentford has a decent record against Chelsea, but injuries have depleted their squad. Chelsea, with their depth and quality, is expected to secure a victory in this match.

Prediction: Brentford 1-2 Chelsea

Everton vs West Ham United

Sean Dyche

Everton received a boost with their reduced points deduction, which will allow them to play without fear. With the home advantage and the support of their fans, Everton is predicted to secure a crucial win in their quest for Premier League safety.

Prediction: Everton 2-1 West Ham United

Fulham vs Brighton & Hove Albion

Roberto De Zerbi

Fulham showed their quality in their recent match against Manchester United, while Brighton has been inconsistent. With both teams having little to play for in terms of league standings, a draw is predicted.

Prediction: Fulham 1-1 Brighton & Hove Albion

Luton Town vs Aston Villa

Unai Emery

Aston Villa, a solid and well-coached side, is expected to secure a victory against Luton Town. Luton's confidence may be affected by their recent heavy defeat against Manchester City, and the absence of Elijah Adebayo will be a significant factor.

Prediction: Luton Town 1-2 Aston Villa

Burnley vs Bournemouth

Andoni Iraola

Bournemouth's loss in the FA Cup was a missed opportunity for them. However, they are still expected to secure a victory against Burnley, who have struggled due to a lack of quality players. The return of Dominic Solanke will further strengthen Bournemouth's chances.

Prediction: Burnley 1-2 Bournemouth

Manchester City vs Manchester United

Pep Guardiola

Manchester United's chances in this match have been affected by the absence of Rasmus Hojlund. Manchester City, with their formidable attack led by Erling Haaland, is predicted to dominate the game. Manchester United may adopt a damage-limitation approach, but a comfortable home win for Manchester City is expected.

Prediction: Manchester City 3-0 Manchester United

Sheffield United vs Arsenal

Mikel Arteta

Arsenal's impressive form in recent weeks makes them the clear favorites in this match. With a balanced team and a strong goal-scoring record, Arsenal is predicted to secure a convincing victory against Sheffield United.

Prediction: Sheffield United 0-3 Arsenal
