Everton have quite good form recently, generally, with a lot of improved performances and close competitive matches, including most recently having drawn 1-1 away vs Wolverhampton Wanderers. Meanwhile, West Ham have had more mixed hit-and-miss form recently, also with a lot of close matches but more inconsistent results, including most recently having lost 0-1 at home to Newcastle United. I think this could be a close competitive match, quite likely, with both teams having reasonable form and now probably safe from the threat of relegation. They are also seeking more points to be sure of that. While Everton are at home and have more improved form recently, I think West Ham have still been performing reasonably. If they give a better-focused effort in this match, they could get an away point quite possibly, with a draw at fairly reasonable value at 9/4 as a plausible potential outcome.

Ipswich Town have had continued poor form recently, with some competitive performances at times and close matches fairly often, but still generally losing, including having lost 0-1 away to Crystal Palace most recently. Meanwhile, Nottingham Forest have had generally reasonably good form recently, not quite as consistent with results at times over recent weeks, but still with competitive performances often and getting some good results still, including having won 1-0 at home over Manchester City most recently. Ipswich are at home for this match and could put up some fight and make it a close match potentially. However, Nottingham Forest do have the better ability and form. While Ipswich are trying to avoid relegation, Forest are trying to secure a strong finish to get a Champions League spot in the league potentially. I think if Forest give a strong focused performance and don't underestimate Ipswich, Forest should just have the edge to get a close away win most likely in this match, with a close away win for Forest at somewhat reasonable value at around evens.

Man City have mixed hit-and-miss form recently, showing some improvement with some performances and results, but still struggling with inconsistency. They lost 0-1 away to Nottingham Forest most recently. Meanwhile, Brighton have hit a good run of form with improved performances and a lot of wins over recent weeks, including having won 2-1 at home over Fulham most recently. Man City are at home for this match, and even with their inconsistent form, they may be tough to overcome at home, having only lost 3 home matches in the league so far this season. However, I think with Brighton on a strong run of form, if Brighton can build on recent performances and give a focused, determined performance, they could plausibly grab an away point in this match. A draw in this match is at quite reasonable value at 17/5 as a quite possible outcome.

Manchester United have mixed to poor form, inconsistent and struggling a lot with results, though with occasional better performances. Most recently, they won 3-2 at home over Ipswich in the league. Meanwhile, Arsenal have mixed, quite inconsistent form too, having had a slump over recent weeks in the league, particularly falling out of the title race effectively. Most recently, they drew 0-0 away against Nottingham Forest in the league. Manchester United are at home for this match today, and while Arsenal have the better form generally this season, I think these two teams with inconsistent form and not much to play for in the league this season may well end up having a close match today. A draw between these two teams struggling for form is a quite plausible potential outcome at fairly reasonable value at 27/10 as a possible result today.

Chelsea have had rather mixed form recently, having struggled with a real dip in form in the last few months since around mid-winter. Though Chelsea got some relief with a much-needed 4-0 win at home to Southampton most recently in the league. Meanwhile, Leicester City have had continued bad form, unfortunately for them, with a lot of losses continuing, including having lost 0-2 away to West Ham most recently in the league. I think for this match, with Chelsea at home and having the better overall ability, and a bit better form in the last week or so too, and Leicester struggling so much with poor form and conceding often and rarely scoring, with goals scored and 12 conceded in their 4 league defeats in February, that if Chelsea give a good focused performance and don't underestimate Leicester, Chelsea should get a solid home win most likely overall in this match.

Tottenham Hotspur have had quite mixed hit-and-miss form recently, with some occasional better performances and results. Though still suffering losses quite often too, and having lost 0-1 at home to Man City most recently in the league. Meanwhile, Bournemouth have had a bit mixed form recently too, having had a generally good run of results hit a bit of a blip with some surprise losses recently, including having lost 1-2 away to Brighton most recently in the league. I think this could well be a close match, with Spurs at home and being a bit stronger generally with some players returned from injury. However, Bournemouth also have some good quality and have generally performed better over recent months. I think this match may end up with both teams having to share the points quite possibly, with a draw a quite plausible potential outcome at fairly reasonable value at 14/5 as a quite likely result.

Wolverhampton Wanderers have very hit-and-miss mixed form recently, having some competitive performances at times but often inconsistent with results. They lost 1-2 at home to Fulham most recently in the league. Meanwhile, Everton have reasonable form recently, with a lot of close competitive matches and more consistent results too, though mostly draws over recent weeks. Everton drew 1-1 away at Brentford most recently in the league. I think this could be a close match tonight, and while Wolves are at home, they have been more inconsistent generally recently. They are also missing a key player, with Cunha being suspended after getting a rash red card in the FA Cup last weekend, which may reduce Wolves' goal threat. As such, I think Everton, with better and more consistent form recently, may have a good chance at getting a result tonight if they build on recent performances. Everton is good value to get at least a point tonight, and a draw is a quite plausible outcome to this match, at fairly reasonable value at 21/10.

Crystal Palace have very good form recently with a lot of good wins over recent weeks, including Palace winning 4-1 at home over Aston Villa most recently in the league. Meanwhile, Ipswich Town have mixed to poorer form, having some competitive performances at times but still struggling for results, with Ipswich having lost 2-3 away to Manchester United most recently. Palace are at home for this match, and while Palace are unfortunately missing some players to injury, they still have the better ability and form recently. While Ipswich may potentially be able to make it a close match if they give one of their better performances in this game, I still think overall that if Palace give a strong focused effort and don't underestimate Ipswich, Palace should get a home win most likely overall in this match.

Liverpool have continued strong form recently, often performing very well and finding ways to win most of the time even when not at their best. Liverpool also won 2-0 at home over Newcastle most recently in the league to extend their lead at the top of the table. Meanwhile, Southampton have the opposite form, struggling with a lot of losses, even when having the occasional better performances at times. Southampton lost 0-4 away to Chelsea most recently. I think for this match of top vs bottom in the Premier League table, with Liverpool at home and having the better ability and form, as long as Liverpool give another focused effort and don't underestimate Southampton, they should have enough to get a solid home win. It is difficult to see much chance of Southampton getting anything out of this game unless they are at their very best and Liverpool have an off day. Most likely, though, this should be a clear win for Liverpool with all the advantages they have going into this match.
