The Premier League serves up five thrilling fixtures on Wednesday, with plenty at stake at both ends of the table.
Liverpool host Newcastle United in a fixture packed with history, while Manchester City head to Tottenham in pursuit of vital points.
Meanwhile, Manchester United welcome Ipswich Town as they aim to salvage a strong finish to the season. Here’s what to expect from the key battles…
BRENTFORD V EVERTON
Brentford will look to end their winless streak against Everton, having failed to beat the Toffees in their last five meetings. However, Everton’s away form in evening kick-offs doesn’t inspire confidence, with no wins in their last 15 such matches.
Brentford’s once formidable home record has crumbled, taking just one point from their last five games. Can the Bees sting again, or will Everton’s defensive resilience prevail?
MANCHESTER UNITED V IPSWICH TOWN
Ipswich travel to Old Trafford, a ground where they haven’t won since 1984. Recent history doesn’t favour the visitors either, with United unbeaten in their last seven home league meetings against Ipswich, including a dominant 15-0 aggregate score in the last three encounters.
However, United’s struggles at home this season, losing seven matches, could give Ipswich a glimmer of hope.
NOTTINGHAM FOREST V ARSENAL
Forest stunned Arsenal with a 1-0 win in May 2023 but have otherwise struggled in this fixture.
Arsenal, despite a strong record in evening kick-offs, will be wary of Forest’s solid home form, winning five of their last six matches at the City Ground. Can the Gunners bounce back from their recent setback, or will Forest repeat history?
TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR V MANCHESTER CITY
Spurs have already beaten City twice this season and could achieve a rare treble over the champions.
However, City broke their London jinx by winning this fixture last season. With Spurs looking to shake up the top-four race and City pushing for European qualification, expect fireworks under the lights.
LIVERPOOL V NEWCASTLE UNITED
Anfield has been a fortress against Newcastle, with Liverpool unbeaten in their last 28 home league meetings with the Magpies.
Newcastle’s struggles against league leaders further compound their challenge, as they’ve never won away against a team top of the table in 20 attempts. With Liverpool’s attacking firepower in full force, Newcastle will need something special to turn the tide.
