Gameweek 22 could be pivotal in shaping the Premier League title race, with Liverpool and Arsenal facing tricky tests on Saturday. Newcastle look to extend their red-hot form, while Chelsea and Wolves wrap up the action on Monday night.

Saturday, January 18

Newcastle vs Bournemouth (12:30 GMT)

Prediction: Newcastle 2-0 Bournemouth
Eddie Howe’s Newcastle are flying high with six consecutive league wins and will look to continue their form against a striker-less Bournemouth. Andoni Iraola’s side will find it tough to breach Newcastle’s solid defense at St. James’ Park.

Brentford vs Liverpool (15:00 GMT)

Prediction: Brentford 2-3 Liverpool
Brentford’s prolific home form will test Liverpool’s mettle. Arne Slot’s side has shown frailties but should have enough firepower to edge out the Bees in a high-scoring affair.

Leicester vs Fulham (15:00 GMT)

Prediction: Leicester 1-2 Fulham
Leicester’s five-game losing streak might continue against a Fulham side looking to bounce back into form. Marco Silva’s team has the quality to exploit the Foxes’ vulnerabilities.

West Ham vs Crystal Palace (15:00 GMT)

Prediction: West Ham 1-1 Crystal Palace
Both teams are in middling form, and this London derby could end in a stalemate. Crystal Palace’s resurgence under Roy Hodgson will make it difficult for Graham Potter’s West Ham to grab all three points.

Arsenal vs Aston Villa (17:30 GMT)

Prediction: Arsenal 2-2 Aston Villa
Arsenal’s attacking injuries could prove costly against an in-form Villa side. Unai Emery will aim to replicate last season’s success at the Emirates, with a draw looking like a fair outcome.

Sunday, January 19

Everton vs Tottenham (14:00 GMT)

Prediction: Everton 1-2 Tottenham
Ange Postecoglou’s Spurs need to find form, and Everton’s set-piece threat will test their defense. Tottenham’s attacking quality, led by Son Heung-min, could secure a much-needed win.

Man Utd vs Brighton (14:00 GMT)

Prediction: Man Utd 2-1 Brighton
Amad Diallo’s brilliance helped Manchester United scrape past Southampton, and they’ll need more magic to overcome Brighton. The Seagulls’ inconsistency on the road gives United the edge.

Nottingham Forest vs Southampton (14:00 GMT)

Prediction: Nottingham Forest 2-0 Southampton
Forest’s solid home form should see them past a struggling Southampton side. Ivan Juric’s team has shown resilience but lacks the firepower to trouble Forest.

Ipswich vs Man City (16:30 GMT)

Prediction: Ipswich 1-3 Man City
Erling Haaland’s new contract celebration could include a goal spree against Ipswich. While the Tractor Boys have been spirited, City’s attack should prove too much for them to handle.

Monday, January 20

Chelsea vs Wolves (20:00 GMT)

Prediction: Chelsea 3-2 Wolves
Enzo Maresca’s Chelsea have hit a rough patch, but Cole Palmer’s brilliance could shine through. Wolves’ defensive struggles under Vitor Pereira might cost them in what promises to be an entertaining clash.

This weekend promises plenty of drama as the Premier League title race and relegation battle heat up!
