Gameweek 28 Preview: Title Race Heats Up
Gameweek 28 could define the rest of the season. With Arsenal, Manchester City, and Liverpool all in action against tricky opponents, this is the kind of weekend where prediction accuracy can make or break your leaderboard position.
The Big Six Fixtures
Arsenal travel to Aston Villa in what promises to be a tense, tactical affair. Villa have been outstanding at home this season, losing just twice, and their defensive structure makes this a natural candidate for a low-scoring match. Our lean: 1-1 draw.
Manchester City host Newcastle, and while City's home form has been imperious, the Magpies have proven they can hurt anyone on the counter. Expect City to dominate possession but face a genuine threat on the break. Our lean: 2-1 to City.
Liverpool face Wolves at Anfield, where they've won their last seven. Wolves have been resolute on the road but lack the firepower to trouble Liverpool's defence consistently. Our lean: 2-0 to Liverpool.
Under the Radar
Don't sleep on Brighton vs Brentford. Both sides play expansive, attacking football and this fixture has produced 3+ goals in four of the last five meetings. If you're looking for a match to go over 2.5 goals, this is it.
Fixtures to Watch for Draws
Crystal Palace vs Bournemouth is the classic mid-table stalemate candidate. Both sides are safe from relegation and have nothing particular to play for. The 1-1 draw has hit in three of their last five Premier League meetings.
