Fixture 6: Manchester United vs West Bromwich Albion (Predicted score 1-0)

Jose will be again without his ace striker Ibrahimovic who is suspended while, Pogba is also a doubt for the clash as he is nursing from a hamstring injury. Lingard and Martial will play out wide and need to connect well with Rashford for the goals.

Fixture 8: Southampton vs AFC Bournemouth (Predicted score 2-0)
Southampton were riding high with their latest winter signing Gabbiadini but they have to make it up without him for the GW30 as he suffers from groin injury. Shane Long is expected to replace him. The Saints are running behind by 2 games and if won both, they can put Stoke City behind for the 9th spot. However, for that they need to beat Bournemouth this weekend who are tallied at 33 points. The head to head record against Southampton is not quite impressive for the Cherries as they have not won any away game at Southampton. Eddie Howe's side has managed to get two back to back league wins and they will be hoping to make it three as they prepare to visit the Saints. Joshua king is in a decent form and the Cherries' faithful will rely on him for goals.
