Liverpool: Jurgen Klopp discusses decision to sign new contract
This weekend’s Premier League games have been predicted by the football stats geeks. Manchester City take on Arsenal, Manchester United are up against Everton and Liverpool prepare to take on Watford in the big matches over the next two days.
Arsenal and City are both in search of a big win, especially Freddie Ljungberg’s Gunners, who drew to Standard Liege in the Europa League on Thursday.
It’s been predicted that Ljungberg’s side will lose to City 2-1, however.
City lost to United last week at home and will be hoping they can bounce back with a win against another top six side.
