PREMIER LEAGUE PROPHECIES🔮- GAME WEEK 17

After a lenghty break from EPL action due to the world cup, the world's most exciting league is back once again! Can City chase down Arsenal? Will Newcastle and Almiron keep up their form? Will Liverpool get back to full strenght? Let's find out!

GAME OF THE WEEK🔥

ARSENAL vs WEST HAM

Arsenal are top of the table at Christmas. They have only suffered one defeat this season, but an injury to key man Gabriel Jesus could break their momentum.

West Ham are yet to hit the hights of previous seasons, but a welcome break gave David Moyes some time to regroup with his players.

Can Arsenal pick up where they left off or will the Hammers spoil the party?

ONE TO WATCH: MARTIN ØDEGAARD

PREDICTION: 2-0

EASIEST 3 POINTS 3️⃣

LEEDS vs MAN CITY

Leeds were picking up some momentum right up untill the world cup with Crysencio Summerville making a massive impact! Jesse March will be keen to get his side back under way with a win, but a visit from the champions might just be to tough a challenge.

City know that they will need to keep on winning to keep the pressure on Arsenal. Erling Haaland had a long break and will be raring to go once more.

ONE TO WATCH: ERLING HAALAND

PREDICTION: 0-3

POTENTIAL UPSET😭

ASTON VILLA vs LIVERPOOL

Villa were still riding the new manager high right up untill the break. Emery could just be the right man to take Villa back to where they want to be.

Liverpool were underwhelming and disappointing in the first half of the season. Injuries to key players played a big role but they will need to pick up the pace if they want to end in the top 4 at the end of the season.

A trip to Villa park however might just be to tough a challenge.

ONE TO WATCH: MO SALAH

PREDICTION: 1-1

WHO SHOULD YOUR FPL CAPTAIN BE?

MARCUS RASHFORD🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

After an excellent World Cup from Rashford in which he scored 3 goals, he picked up where he left off with a brilliant solo goal in the League Cup. United welcome Nottingham Forest and it represents a great oppurtunity for Rashford to lay down a marker for the second part of the season!
