class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>With plenty at stake and both teams starting slowly in recent matches, Al Hain-Cole expects the action to unfold late when Rodgers' men face the Blues

Leicester City have the chance to move top of the Premier League table when they welcome Chelsea to the King Power Stadium on Tuesday.

The Foxes are two points adrift of leaders Manchester United after a run of five matches without defeat in the league, having beaten Southampton 2-0 on Saturday.

Leicester City vs Chelsea Latest Odds

However, having gone seven matches without a home win against this opposition, they are slight 15/8 (2.88) outsiders with bet365 to climb into first place with a big win.

Frank Lampard’s team secured just a second victory in seven league fixtures by beating 10-man Fulham at the weekend and are available at 11/8 (2.38) to follow that up by claiming three points here.

Three of the last four encounters between this pair have resulted in draws, and you can get odds of 5/2 (3.50) on them cancelling each other out once again.

Jamie Vardy will face a late fitness test after coming off with a hip injury in Saturday’s win over Southampton, while Dennis Praet is ruled out.

N’Golo Kante is available once again to face his former club after missing the win over Fulham due to suspension, leaving Andreas Christensen as the only doubt.

Leicester City vs Chelsea Preview

The Blues will have been relieved to leave Craven Cottage with three points on Saturday, when Fulham more than held their own in the first half and were eventually made to pay for Antonee Robinson’s reckless red card.

This trend of starting slowly will be a concern for Lampard given his team has only scored three first half goals in their last nine league matches, and failed to score before the break in five of the most recent seven.

However, they may well need to remain patient against Brendan Rodgers’ men, who have only conceded before half-time twice in nine fixtures – albeit scoring just two of their last 10 goals in the opening 45 minutes themselves.

Leicester City vs Chelsea Tips and Predictions

With plenty at stake as the two top four rivals battle for a vital three points, even money (2.00) seems like good value on the majority of the goalmouth action not unfolding until the second half for the third meeting in a row between Leicester and Chelsea.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>Boasting an excellent away record and looking solid at the back, Al Hain-Cole is backing Solskjaer's men to ease past a defensive Cottagers side

Manchester United will be looking to safeguard their position at the top of the Premier League table when they travel to Craven Cottage to take on Fulham on Wednesday.

The Red Devils remain in first place after earning a 0-0 draw away to Liverpool at the weekend, although are now only two points clear of a Manchester City side that have a game in hand.

Fulham vs Manchester United Latest Odds

Having won 12 and lost none of their last 16 league fixtures on the road, they are clear 8/15 (1.53) favourites with bet365 to keep up the pace with a victory in west London.

Scott Parker’s men fell to their first defeat in seven fixtures at home to Chelsea last time out, but can be backed at 5/1 (6.00) to bounce back with a shock win here.

Each of those six unbeaten matches prior to the Chelsea game had resulted in draws after 90 minutes, and you can get odds of 10/3 (4.33) on them playing out yet another stalemate in this one.

Fulham vs Manchester United Team News

Antonee Robinson is suspended after being sent off against Chelsea, while Terence Kongolo is ruled out and Mario Lemina, Tom Cairney, and Aleksandar Mitrovic are all doubtful.

The visitors have no injury concerns to contend with, although couold offer the likes of Edinson Cavani, Juan Mata or Mason Greenwood a start in a rotated line-up.

Fulham vs Manchester United Preview

Although perhaps slightly regretful not to make more of a couple of presentable late chances and take all three points at Anfield, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side can be satisfied at keeping their rivals at arm’s length with the draw.

Most pleasing will have been another resolute defensive display that saw them pick up a third clean sheet in four league games – a run that has seen them concede only once.

They will be confident of extending that record against a Cottagers team that has sacrificed attacking output for defensive resilience recently, conceding just four goals in seven but scoring only three within normal time.

Fulham vs Manchester United Tips and Predictions

Considering their attacking options and excellent away record, odds of 13/8 (2.63) seem generous on United overcoming Fulham’s resistance to win while keeping yet another clean sheet.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>The visitors boast one of the best away records in the Premier League and our tipster thinks they should be able to find net at the Etihad Stadium

Manchester City welcome Aston Villa to the Etihad Stadium on Wednesday evening with Pep Guardiola’s men knowing that a win will see them overtake rivals Manchester United at the top of the Premier League table.

The Citizens have won each of their last eight matches in all competitions and are clear favourites to extend that successful run against Dean Smith’s men.

Manchester City vs Aston Villa Latest Odds

Villa have been extremely strong on the road this term, boasting one of the best away records in the Premier League, and can be backed at 11/1 (12.00) with bet365 to claim a sixth away with of the season.

City have lost just one of their last 20 home league matches and are offered at 2/9 (1.22) with the draw at 11/2 (6.50).

Manchester City vs Aston Villa Team News

The hosts are still missing defenders Aymeric Laporte, Nathan Ake and Eric Garcia, while Sergio Aguero will also be missing on Wednesday night.

Villa, meanwhile, are waiting to see whether Ross Barkley will be available to feature at some point, with the on-loan Chelsea midfielder having not played since November.

Manchester City vs Aston Villa Preview

Villa head to the Etihad Stadium hoping to keep up their record of scoring in every away game they have played this season, with trips to Man United, Chelsea, Leicester City and Arsenal particularly standing out.

City’s defensive record in their own stadium remains formidable, keeping clean sheets in six of their nine home league games this term, but there should be some interest in backing the visitors to net on Wednesday night.

Indeed, Guardiola’s men have conceded against the likes of West Brom, West Ham, Leeds, and Wolves, meaning that Villa will fancy themselves to be able to at least get on the scoresheet.

Manchester City vs Aston Villa Tips and Predictions

Both teams to score is priced at 19/20 (1.95) and looks like an interesting option, while combining this selection with City to win sees the odds rise to 13/8 (2.63).

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>The Reds have not scored in their last three Premier League games and our tipster is predicting more struggles against the strong Clarets defence

Liverpool have the chance to end a pair of Premier League droughts on Thursday evening when they welcome Burnley to Anfield.

Sunday afternoon’s tepid 0-0 draw at home to Manchester United made it three games without a goal and four since their last victory in the top-flight, continuing a miserable winter for the Reds.

Liverpool vs Burnley Latest Odds

Despite Liverpool’s poor form, bet365 make them just 1/5 (1.20) to pick up a first Premier League win since December 19 when they triumphed 7-0 at Crystal Palace.

Burnley were the only visiting team to avoid defeat on this ground last season, picking up a 1-1 draw, and another stalemate is priced at 11/2 (6.50).

In fact, the Clarets have only ever won on one of their 12 league trips to Anfield and are priced at 14/1 (15.0) to stun the champions.

Liverpool vs Burnley Team News

Joel Matip was not deemed fit enough to start against Manchester United but he could return for this one, however Virgil van Dijk, Joe Gomez, Naby Keita, Kostas Tsimikas and Diogo Jota all remain out.

Charlie Taylor and Jimmy Dunne could both return for Sean Dyche’s side, while backup goalkeeper Bailey Peacock-Farrell is still out.

Liverpool vs Burnley Preview

Liverpool were somewhat lucky to escape with a draw against Man United after below-par performance, but perhaps the most damning indictment of their current form is that they have scarcely deserved anything more.

Indeed, since their 7-0 win at Palace, the Reds have managed only 10 shots on target – the fourth-fewest in the league during the time – despite taking 62 shots in total.

They could have yet more struggles against a strong Burnley defence that has conceded just five goals in their last eight Premier League games, not letting in more than one in a single fixture since November 28.

Liverpool vs Burnley Tips and Predictions

The hosts will be desperate to get back on track with victory here but given their struggles in front of goal and Burnley’s well-drilled defence, 11/8 (2.38) on under 2.5 goals from bet365 looks a strong selection for this Premier League clash.

This bet has paid out in Liverpool’s last four league games and seven of the Clarets’ last eight,

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>With the Reds struggling for a cutting edge at the moment, Al Hain-Cole is backing Solskjaer's star man to come up with the goods in a big FA Cup tie

Liverpool will be desperate for some inspiration when they visit Old Trafford to take on Manchester United in Sunday’s FA Cup clash.

The Reds have gone four matches without a goal in the Premier League following Thursday’s 1-0 home defeat against Burnley, although did see off an Aston Villa youth team in the last round of this competition.

Having come off the bench to score the fourth in that game, Mohamed Salah is bet365’s 7/2 (4.50) favourite to end his side’s barren run with the opener, or priced at even money (2.00) to strike anytime.

Sadio Mane was on target twice in that tie – his eighth and ninth goals of a relatively underwhelming campaign so far – and he can be backed at 6/4 (2.50) to come up with a much-needed strike here.

Divock Origi remains goalless this season after missing a big chance against Burnley on Thursday but he is on offer at 15/8 (2.88) to open his account in what is likely to be a reshuffled line-up for Jurgen Klopp’s team.

In contrast to their opponents, the Red Devils are flying high at the moment and will head into this clash fully confident of pulling off a result.

However, Anthony Martial doesn’t look the most convincing 6/1 (7.00) favourite to break the deadlock for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s men given he has only hit the net three times in his last 17 fixtures, nor at 15/8 (2.88) anytime odds.

Instead, Bruno Fernandes surely offers better value at those same 15/8 (2.88) anytime odds considering he has been on target 15 times in 28 matches in all competitions so far this season.

This match should also offer an opportunity for Mason Greenwood, who has struggled for game time this campaign despite hitting 16 goals in a breakthrough season last time out.

With three goals to his name so far, he is also available at 15/8 (2.88) to offer a reminder of his own prodigious talent by firing past Liverpool on Sunday.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>With the Reds out of form and still missing key players, Al Hain-Cole is backing Solskjaer's high-flying team to come out on top at Old Trafford

Manchester United and Liverpool will meet for the second time in a week in Sunday’s FA Cup clash at Old Trafford.

The sides shared a 0-0 draw at Anfield in last weekend’s Premier League match, their third stalemate in four encounters.

Manchester United vs Liverpool latest odds

Considering the sides have now drawn seven out of the last 10 meetings, bet365’s 12/5 (3.40) odds on this one also ending up all square after 90 minutes are likely to attract plenty of interest.  

Jurgen Klopp’s men are without a win in four league games following their disappointing 1-0 home defeat by Burnley on Thursday but can be backed at 13/8 (2.63) to bounce back with a morale-boosting win on enemy territory.

In contrast, the Red Devils are flying high after suffering just one defeat in 12 fixtures in all competitions and are priced at 8/5 (2.60) to come out on top against their rivals for the first time in seven meetings.

Manchester United vs Liverpool team news

Victor Lindelof is unlikely to feature after dropping out of the line-up for Wednesday’s win over Fulham, while Brandon Williams is also doubtful.

Virgil van Dijk, Joe Gomez, Naby Keita and Diogo Jota are all ruled out for the visitors, with Jordan Henderson also likely to miss out due to the minor fitness concern that saw him miss the Burnley defeat.

Manchester United vs Liverpool preview

Although last weekend’s goalless draw at Anfield may have suited Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s team better as they stayed ahead of their rivals from Merseyside, United will see this clash as an opportunity to go one better.

Liverpool are at their lowest ebb in recent years, with their confidence drained after a run of four league games without a goal and missing a number of key players due to injury.

This extensive injury list is also set to be laid bare as Klopp rotates his side in the face of a hectic fixture list, with his weakened line-up unlikely to prove much of a match for an opponent with a deeper squad to choose from and fewer injury absentees.

Manchester United vs Liverpool predictions

With this in mind, a confident Manchester United team are surely worth backing at those 8/5 (2.60) odds to come out on top against a weakened Liverpool team that has looked a shadow of its usual self of late.
