Christy's Weekend Acca

Southampton v Everton

Southampton have an excellent defensive record against Everton who have failed to find the net against this opposition in three trips. They boasted an excellent home record last season and were close to getting a top four finish.  Everton were lucky to come away with a draw against Watford last week after being behind twice in the match.

Verdict: Southampton victory.

Sunderland v Norwich

Sunderland were awful against Leicester last week going behind by three goals in the first half before eventually losing 4-2. Norwich meanwhile, were unlucky against Crystal Palace last week losing 3-1 in the end. Norwich dominated large parts of that game but were profligate in front of goal. I think Sunderland will be much tighter in this game but not enough to concede a goal.  Norwich will create chances too but Sunderland can nick a goal against them.

Verdict: Both Teams To Score

Swansea City v Newcastle

Both teams got off to a great start last week., Swansea getting a 2-2 draw against Chelsea and likewise for Newcastle against Southampton.  This has  all the hallmarks of being a high scoring encounter with plenty of opportunities at both ends.

Verdict: Both Teams To Score

Spurs v Stoke

Both teams suffered opening 1-0 defeats at the start of the season last week. Stoke will feel aggrieved to have lost to a stunning  late strike by Philip Couthinho after holding Liverpool to a stalemate up till the 86 minute. Spurs meanwhile looked lightweight for most parts against Man Utd before dominating the last 15 minutes with a flurry of attacks. Stoke are a diificult opponent at home but they not as strong against the top teams away.

Verdict: Spurs victory.
