Manchester United have very mixed form recently, being hit and miss in performances and results, while Arsenal have generally strong form, getting a lot of wins domestically as they seek to continue to keep the pressure up in the title race. Manchester United are at home today however, and Arsenal have not won away at Manchester United since 2020, and I think today while Arsenal do have the current better form and ability, that if Manchester United can give one of their better performances at home today, that Manchester United may just be able to hold out for a point potentially, with a draw at somewhat reasonable value at 9/2 as a result.

Bournemouth and Brentford both have mixed to reasonable form recently, and both have only pride to play for as they are both safely mid-table. I think it could be a close match as result, and while Bournemouth are at home, that Brentford have the ability to get a point potentially today, with a draw at fairly reasonable value at 3/1 as a plausible outcome.

Newcastle United have good form recently, with improved performances and results, while Brighton have mixed to poorer form, quite inconsistent and struggling for results recently generally. Newcastle are at home today, and have more motivation and better form, and I think if Newcastle give another strong performance they should have the edge in ability to get a home win most likely today overall.

West Ham have mixed form recently, struggling a bit for results recently, and sawfly mid-table, while Luton have mixed form recently too, needing results to avoid relegation, but still struggling despite often close matches. West Ham are at home today, but I think they lack value a bit being out of form recently, and with Luton having much more motivation, I think if Luton can give an improved performance today they could grab a close away win at somewhat reasonable value at 3/1 today.

Crystal Palace have quite good form recently, with improved performances and results recently generally, and most recently drew 1-1 away against Fulham, while Manchester United have a bit more mixed form recently, not doing too badly in terms of results though very hit and miss in performances still often, sometimes within a match, and most recently drew 1-1 at home against Burnley. I think for this match tonight it could be a close match, and while Manchester United have the generally better ability, they have continued to be very inconsistent in performances, and with Crystal Palace at home today, and having some strong players performing well often recently, I think that if Crystal Palace give another good effort they could get at least a point at home tonight, with a draw at fairly reasonable value at 14/5 as a plausible outcome tonight.

Liverpool have mixed to poor form recently, struggling with performances and results, and most recently drew 2-2 away against West Ham, while Tottenham Hotspur have mixed to poorer form recently, also struggling a lot with performances and results recently, including having lost 0-2 away against Chelsea most recently. I think this could be a close match today quite possibly between these two teams with good ability but struggling with poorer form, and while Liverpool are at home today, they have been struggling a lot and may have less motivation being effectively out of the title race and likely to finish 3rd, while Spurs are unlikely to get top 4 now and will probably finish 5th and so may also lack motivation, and I think while Liverpool have the better ability, they may lack value slightly, and that while Spurs got a 2-1 home win earlier this season when these two teams last played, they are unlikely to get a win today, and that these two out of form sides may end up having to share the points with a draw a quite plausible potential outcome at somewhat reasonable value at 19/4 today.

Brighton have poor form recently, with a mix of draws and losses over recent weeks, and most recently lost 0-3 away against Bournemouth in the league, while Aston Villa have generally good form, with mostly positive results over recent weeks though occasionally still a bit inconsistent, and most recently drew 2-2 at home against Chelsea in the league. In this match today Brighton have home advantage, but with Brighton struggling recently and seeming to be lacking motivation as they are safely mid-table, while Aston Villa have more motivation as they seek to secure a top 4 finish and Champions League football next season, I think that with Villa having better form recently and ability too, that if Villa give a strong determined effort and don't underestimate Brighton, then Villa should get an away win most likely today at good value at 17/10.

Chelsea have mixed to somewhat reasonable form recently, still often inconsistent but still with some quite good results when they perform better, including most recently having won 2-0 at home against Spurs, while West Ham have mixed form recently, struggling a bit for results in recent weeks, but still also with some reasonable results at times, including having got a 2-2 draw at home against Liverpool most recently. I think today it could be a close competitive match, and while Chelsea are at home today, with Chelsea so inconsistent I think they lack value slightly, with Chelsea having a lot of injuries too, and with West Ham having some reasonable ability too, and having already won 3-1 at home against Chelsea earlier this season, and while I think West Ham may struggle to get an away win against Chelsea today, that if West Ham give a solid stubborn effort they may be able to grab an away point today quite plausibly, with a draw at fairly reasonable value at 4/1 as a quite possible outcome.

Luton Town have mixed to poor form, being competitive in some matches often, but still struggling for results, and lost 1-2 away at Wolves most recently, while Everton have stronger form, also competitive in most matches, but with better results, including having won 1-0 at home against Brentford most recently. I think this could be a close match today, with Luton needing a result as they seek to avoid relegation, and while Everton have better ability, Everton have secured results already to be safe from relegation and so may be less motivated, and I think if Luton can give a better focused effort and take their chances, that Luton may just have the edge in added motivation to get a close home win most likely tonight at fairly reasonable value at 17/10.

Crystal Palace have shown improved form recently, with some better performances and results in recent weeks, including in their 5-2 win at home over West Ham last weekend, while Newcastle United have also had improved form recently, with some generally much stronger performances and results over recent weeks, including in their 4-0 home win over Tottenham last weekend. I think it could be a close competitive match between these two teams with improved form, and that Palace at home may offer quite a challenge, and while Newcastle do have some strong ability, Newcastle have only won 4 times away in the Premier League so far this season, and I think if Palace perform at their best they could hold out for a point tonight, with a draw at fairly reasonable value at 11/4 as a possible outcome.

Everton have mixed hit and miss form recently, with some poor results, such as their 0-6 loss away against Chelsea, mixed with some better results, such as their more recent 2-0 win at home over Nottingham Forest last weekend, while Liverpool have rather inconsistent form too, having had a mini slump of results including their 0-1 loss at home against Crystal Palace, but Liverpool also getting back to winning ways with a 3-1 win away against Fulham. I think with Everton at home tonight, it could be another potentially quite close Merseyside derby, however with Liverpool having the better overall ability, I think if Liverpool give a strong attacking effort and take their chances, that Liverpool should have the edge to get an away win most likely overall tonight.

Manchester United have mixed to somewhat poor form recently, with a lot of inconsistent and underwhelming performances at times, including having just salvaged a draw away against Bournemouth in the league, and then having questionably inched past a very spirited but unlucky Coventry City in the FA Cup semi-final. Sheffield United have struggled still more with mixed to poor form recently too, and most recently paid the price for failing to take their chances in a 1-4 loss at home against Burnley. Manchester United are at home for this match tonight, but with their struggles including against sides lower in the table (and lower leagues) recently, I think that while Manchester United have better ability, they may slightly lack value tonight, and that if Sheffield United can learn from their recent missed opportunities against Burnley, and give a better effort with more clinical finishing and focus defensively, then Sheffield United may yet be able to grab a surprise away win against a shaky Manchester United, with an away win for Sheffield United at somewhat reasonable value at 17/2 tonight.

Wolverhampton Wanderers have mixed to poorer form recently, with a mix of draws and losses in most of their recent matches, while Bournemouth have quite mixed form too recently, with some better results but also having more losses and the occasional draw in most their recent matches. Despite mixed form both teams still have somewhat reasonable ability, and with Wolves at home I think they should be able to get at least a point this evening, but that Bournemouth may be able to prevent them getting more, with a draw between these two mid-table sides a quite plausible potential outcome at fairly reasonable value at 13/5 this evening.

Arsenal have mixed to reasonable form, generally performing well but still with some occasional telling slip ups, while Chelsea have mixed hit and miss form, with some good wins offset by some poorer losses. Arsenal are at home tonight, and do have the better recent form generally, as well as Chelsea missing some players, but I think Chelsea still have the ability that if they give one of their better performances, Chelsea could grab a surprise point away tonight potentially, with a draw at somewhat reasonable value at 4/1. 

Crystal Palace have a bit mixed form recently, somewhat inconsistent with results but showing improved performances at times, while West Ham are also a bit mixed and hit and miss at times recently, but also capable of some good competitive performances too. I think today with Palace at home, that while West Ham may bring a challenge, that if Palace build on recent positives, they could hold out for a point quite possibly today, with a draw a quite plausible outcome at fairly reasonable value at 5/2 today.

Everton and Nottingham Forest both have mixed to somewhat poor form recently, with both teams needing points to seek to avoid relegation. Everton have had a bit worse results recently, but are at home today, and Forest have only won twice away this season. As such I think a close competitive match is likely, with a draw a quite plausible outcome at fairly reasonable value at 12/5 today.

Luton Town and Brentford are both in need of points as they seek to avoid the possible risk of relegation, with Luton particularly needing to get a win if they are to improve their chances. Luton are at home today, but Brentford will bring some ability to offer a challenge, and I think a close competitive match is likely, with a draw a quite possible outcome at somewhat reasonable value at 14/5 today.

Sheffield United and Burnley both have mixed to somewhat poor form recently, struggling for results, and while Burnley arguably have slightly better ability, Sheffield United are at home today, and I think the Blades may be able to hold out for at least a point, with a draw a quite plausible potential outcome at fairly reasonable value at 13/5 today.
