After European football in the middle of the week, the Premier League is back this weekend.
Game Week 27 matches will be contested this weekend in stadiums all throughout England.
Which of the games is most likely to produce unexpected results?

- Liverpool travels to Bournemouth for Saturday’s early kickoff against Bournemouth. When Jurgen Klopp’s team thrashed Manchester United 7-0 at Anfield, they achieved what is likely the season’s best result. Yet when they head to the Vitality Stadium to play their relegation-perilous hosts, they have to let go of that euphoria.
- Man United vs. Southampton: The Red Devils’ 4-1 victory over Real Betis in the Europa League may have helped them recover from their humiliation at the hands of Liverpool. Nonetheless, Erik ten Hag’s team was not put to a difficult test by the LaLiga side. You can rely on Southampton, who is vying for their place in the top division, to give them a legitimate football encounter at Saint Marys.
- Man City vs Crystal Palace: Pep Guardiola’s team doesn’t always play well on the road. In their two league meetings with Crystal Palace last season, they failed to score in either contest. City is already behind Arsenal in the title race and cannot afford to lose any more points. But they need to do well at Selhurst Park.
- Graham Potter was able to buy himself some time with back-to-back victories over Leeds United and Borussia Dortmund before Leicester’s match against Chelsea. He brings his team to the King Power Stadium, though, this weekend. The results of Leicester City’s last two games against Manchester United and Arsenal were unfortunate. Hence, the Blues must exercise caution as they attempt to extend their recent winning streak.
