Tottenham vs West Ham - Tottenham to win
Thomas Frank's side are without a win in their last four matches in all competitions following their 2-1 defeat to Aston Villa in the FA Cup. However, the home side has lost only once in their last four league games. The main positive for Tottenham Hotspur is that they have been unbeaten in their last four meetings with West Ham United, as they face a West Ham United in disarray in the Premier League. The Hammers have not recorded a league victory since the start of November, having lost five of their last six league games and conceded at least two goals in four of those defeats. The away side are heading into this game with no clean sheets in their previous 19 matches.
Chelsea vs Brentford - Chelsea to win
Despite their recent good form, Brentford does not have a good record against Chelsea, something that could work in favour of Liam Rosenior's first Premier League game in charge of the Blues. Chelsea are unbeaten in the last four meetings between the two sides and have lost only three times at home this season in the Premier League. Brentford have only won three times on the road in the Premier League this season, losing on eight occasions.
Wrexham vs Norwich - Wrexham to win
Wrexham are in tremendous form, as the home side are looking to make it six consecutive wins in all competitions when they host Norwich City. The home side have won their last four league games, with wins against Derby County (1-2), Blackburn Rovers (0-2), Preston North End (2-1) and Sheffield United (5-3). Norwich City have a poor away record, as the Canaries have only won three matches on the road this season, with their win against QPR ending a winless run on the road of 10 games. Norwich City have lost two of their last three league matches, with defeats to Stoke City and Watford.
Preston vs Derby - Preston to win
Preston North End have only lost twice at Deepdale this season, and the Lilywhites come into the game following two consecutive league victories against Bristol City (0-2) and Sheffield Wednesday (3-0). The home side are also unbeaten in their last four home games in the Championship. Derby County have collected only two league wins in their last six matches, as last time out the Rams suffered a 2-1 defeat against Wrexham at home. The away side are without a win in their last two away fixtures, with a defeat against Leicester City (2-1) and a draw against Birmingham City (1-1).
Burton vs Huddersfield - Huddersfield to win
Burton Albion endured a terrible run of form in December, which has now carried on into the new year. The Brewers have lost their last three league games, with defeats to Plymouth Argyle (3-0), Reading (2-0) & Wigan Athletic (2-0). The home side has won only twice in their last five home league games, and has recorded one league win since the end of November, at home and away. Huddersfield Town has only lost once in their last six matches in the league, picking up three wins against Northampton Town (2-0), Port Vale (5-0) and Rotherham United (1-3).
Peterborough United vs Plymouth Argyle - Peterborough to win
The Posh have had a tremendous turn of fortunes under Luke Williams, as the former Notts County and Swansea manager has picked up 25 points from a possible 36 available during his tenure at the Weston Homes Stadium. Peterborough United have won six of their last eight home matches in League One. Plymouth Argyle were beaten 1-0 at home by a very poor Peterborough United side back in September. The Greens’ league form has been mixed, with only one win from their last four matches, including a 4-1 defeat at home to Reading on Boxing Day last year.
Nottingham Forest vs Arsenal - Arsenal to win
Nottingham Forest's only league victory of note in their last five matches, was against West Ham United (1-2), aside from this the Reds have lost four of their last five with defeats to Aston Villa (3-1), Everton (0-2), Manchester City (1-2) & Fulham (1-0). League leaders Arsenal are on an excellent run of form as the Gunners are unbeaten in their last 10 matches in all competitions following their 3-2 win against Chelsea. Mikel Arteta's side have won five of their last six league games, with wins against Bournemouth (2-3) and Aston Villa (4-1) most notably.
