FIXTURE:1 AFC Bournemouth vs Middlesbrough (Predicted score 1-1)
Bournemouth have gone two back to back defeats after a hard earned draw against Liverpool and they certainly won’t be in any mindset to concede a third defeat. The Cherries are hosting Middlesbrough on Saturday and they are having an impressive head to head home record against the visitors (W2 D4). Will Meanwhile, Middlesbrough will be looking for every single opportunity to get a win because mathematically they are still in the league and the Boros will give a fight till the very end.

Bournemouth: King, Afobe and Fraser
Middlesbrough: Negredo, Downing and Ramirez

FIXTURE:2 Hull City vs Watford (Predicted score 2-1)
Hull City’s Premier League future is dangling as the Tigers are just two points clear from the drop. Hull City needs to get the better of the Hornets at home and march towards survival. The hosts are likely to play 4-3-3 formation with Markovic, Niasse and Grosicki making the attacking trio. Grosicki have been in fine form providing assists in the last few games. Meanwhile, for Watford, things looked edgy in the last gamweek but they managed to get a narrow win and same will be the agenda for them when they visit KCOM stadium.
Players to watch out:
Hull City: Markovic, Niasse and Grosicki
Watford: Deeney, Niang and Capoue

FIXTURE:3 Swansea vs Stoke City (Predicted score 0-2)
Swansea are at peril and at the wrong time of the season, with three back to back defeats it is very difficult for them to get back the lost momentum. The Swans will welcome a sturdy side Stoke City at Liberty stadium where they managed to beat the Potters in 2015. The hosts will majorly rely on Sigurdsson and Llorente for the goals. On the other side, Stoke City managed to get a 3-1 win at home after a series of four back to back defeats. The Potters will again look at Shaqiri for goals and assists as the Swiss international happens to be in a great shape.
Players to watch out:
Swansea: Sigurdsson, Llorente and Carroll
Stoke City: Arnautovic, Shaqiri and Berahinho

FIXTURE:4 West Ham United vs Everton (Predicted score 1-3)
West Ham’s performance was not satisfactory at home this season and this poor home show affected their table ranking. The Hammers are now looking slightly stable after managing to get their first home win against Swansea after five consecutive defeats. In GW34, they are facing an uphill task as they prepare to welcome Everton. The Toffees have already enjoyed a win earlier in this season in the exact reverse fixture and they will be visiting the Olympic stadium with the hope of doing a double. Lukaku, is the man who can put West Ham defense one step backwards right from the start of the game.
Players to watch out:
West Ham: Lanzini, Carroll and Antonio
Everton: Lukaku, Mirallas and Barkley

FIXTURE:5 Burnley vs Manchester United (Predicted score 0-2)
Burnley went down 3-1 on an away trip to Everton but they showed an attacking intend throughout with 6 shots on target. The Clarets are welcoming Man Utd who recently got through to the semi finals of the Europa league at the cost of Ibrahimovic's horror injury. Vokes and Barnes are expected to lead the attack again for the hosts. Meanwhile, for Utd, we could expect a lot of changes in their starting line up taking into consideration their tight fixture schedule. After Burnley, Man Utd will take the field again on Thursday to visit their neighbours Man City for the Manchester derby. The Red Devils looked impressive in the last gameweek with their high pressing game against the table toppers Chelsea.
Players to watch out:
Burnley: Vokes, Barnes and Boyd
Man Utd: Lingard, Rashford and Martial

FIXTURE:6 Liverpool vs Crystal Palace (Predicted score 2-1)
This fixture has the audacity to take you off your seats! We have seen goals scored at both ends when these two sides meet proving it to be a close battle however, the Reds have now gone two wins in a row after going four without a win. Klopp's boys will hope to do a double over Londoners as they are still running for the top four spot. Albeit, considering Liverpool's sloppy defensive setup it won't be an easy task for the hosts as the Eagles have managed to find the net in five times in the last two games.
Players to watch out:
Liverpool: Firmino, Coutinho and Wijnaldum
Crystal Palace: Benteke, Cabaye and Townsend

FIXTURE:7 Chelsea vs Southampton (Predicted score 2-0)
Last gameweek should be a wake up call for the Blues as they are still not the champions and can slip in the ending stages of the league. Chelsea will face their closest challenger Spurs in FA cup semi finals before playing at home against Southampton. The FA cup tie is an important fixture as it could prove to be a morale booster for the toppers after having a pathetic game at Old Trafford. Southampton, also were not up to the mark in the last gameweek losing 0-3 at home against Man City.
Players to watch out:
Chelsea: Costa, Hazard and Pedro
Southampton: Gabbiadini, Tadic and Redmond

FIXTURE:8 Arsenal vs Leicester City (Predicted score 2-1)
Arsenal seems to have been back on track with a win over Middlesbrough in the previous gameweek. The Gunners are hosting defending champions Leicester City who earned massive respect for their performance in the champions league falling short narrowly against Atletico Madrid in the quarter finals clash. The visitors will be facing unwanted fatigue issues and this may go in favour for the north Londoners. A tricky fixture to follow.
Players to watch out:
Arsenal: Sanchez, Ozil and Giroud
Leicester City: Vardy, Mahrez and Albrighton

FIXTURE:9 Middlesbrough vs Sunderland (Predicted score 1-1)
Boros will take the field again in the same gameweek this time in a relegation derby where bottom two clubs will fight for survival though, chances for both teams to survive seems bleak. It will be their first meeting at Riverside stadium in many years and the Boros will hope to get a win at their backyard. On the other hand, Sunderland earned a 2-2 against Hammers and if they start converting draws and losses into wins they can still make it to the next season of Premier League.
Players to watch out:
Middlesbrough: Negredo, Clayton and Downing
Sunderland: Defoe, Khazri and Borini

FIXTURE:10 Crystal Palace vs Tottenham Hotspur (Predicted score 0-3)
After making a visit to Liverpool on Sunday, Crystal Palace will be hosting fellow Londoners Tottenham Spurs who are gunning for the title. There are two big games for the Eagles in the single gameweek and Sam Allardyche will have to come with a concrete plan to churn out maximum points. However, it is going to be a tough job for Crystal Palace to stop the high flying Spurs who are pocketing win after win with a huge score margin. PL team of the year member Kane is the man to watch out for as he has scored after returning from injury.
Players to watch out:
Crystal Palace: Townsend, Benteke and Cabaye
Spurs: Son, Eriksen and Kane

FIXTURE:11 Manchester City vs Manchester United (Predicted score 1-1)
The last fixture of GW34 is surely the game of the week and both Manchester clubs will fight not just for the pride but also for a place in top four. This fixture has always been an entertainer but this season it has raised its entertainment level for the "Pep vs Jose" tag. The exact reverse fixture was won by Pep Guardiola by 2-1 scoreline and it is now Jose's chance to prove his might in his own backyard. A close and pure entertaining game is expected.
Players to watch out:
Man City: Aguero, De Bruyne and SIlva
Man Utd: Rashford, Lingard and Martial
