Premier League fixtures: Supercomputer predicts EVERY result TODAY – Liverpool drama
PREMIER LEAGUE fixtures get more difficult to predict as the season draws to a close, but who is backed to pick up three points today?
Liverpool: Klopp says he ‘expects a tough game’ vs Newcastle
Title hopefuls Liverpool are back in action this afternoon as they look to keep the pressure on defending champions Manchester City.
The Reds travel to Newcastle and will face former manager Rafael Benitez’s men at St James’ Park, knowing victory is vital in order to keep their Premier League dreams alive.
The Magpies are safe for another season and have little to play for, although they are predicted to give Liverpool a run for their money today.
Football Web Pages have used a complicated supercomputer algorithm to work out the probability of each result in every top-flight fixture this weekend - with some surprising findings.
Newcastle will push Liverpool all the way but Jurgen Klopp’s side have a 56.7 per cent chance of victory according to the latest data.
Meanwhile, the lunchtime kick-off could see Tottenham held to a draw by Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium.
Spurs have a 40 per cent chance of a win but the stats geeks think a share of the spoils is most likely, leaving Mauricio Pochettino’s men vulnerable in the race for Champions League qualification.
Cardiff need at least a draw against Crystal Palace to mathematically keep their hopes of Premier League survival alive but will have their hands full at home to the Eagles.
Elsewhere, West Ham host Southampton and are expected to pick up another three points to back up their win over Spurs last time out.
Meanwhile, Wolves will continue their pursuit of Europa League football with victory over a resurgent Fulham at Molineux.
Nuno Espirito Santo’s team are backed to beat the Cottagers 2-0, despite Scott Parker’s men recording three consecutive clean sheets following their relegation.
The rest of the top flight are also in action this weekend with Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United playing on Sunday, but who will take the points from today’s fixtures?
