Midweek Premier League Predictions

TUESDAY:

BOURNEMOUTH V MAN CITY

Bournemouth earned their first ever win against City in this fixture last season which marked the beginning of City's downfall.

In this game they have the chance to stop them winning the league and they'll be feeling confident of doing so because of the form they're in.

This will be Andoni Iraola's last home game in charge of the Cherries and both he and the players will want to him to give the fans a good send off.

Man City were by no means at their best in the FA Cup final but they still got the job done and just about deserved to win the game.

They'll come into this game on a high and will be motivated to end the season strongly so they can get their hands on that title and win a domestic treble.

But they might feel affected by the reports of Pep Guardiola potentially leaving at the end of the season or at least the club preparing for his departure.

But it could also give them more motivation because if the reports are true and if he is leaving at the end of the season, the players will be determined to give him a good send off and end his reign on a high.

Because Bournemouth are on a brilliant run of form and have been strong at home all season, I can see them cause City a few problems here and get a result.

City may come into this game with a lot of confidence on board after winning the FA Cup, but I still think Bournemouth will make it difficult for them and come away with a result.

PREDICTION: 1-1

CHELSEA V TOTTENHAM

Chelsea gave a good account of themselves in the FA Cup final as they stayed in the game for as long as they did and were tough to beat.

But they will be disappointed that they didn't test the City goal enough and that proved to be the difference as City took the one chance they had.

The blues appointed Xabi Alonso in the aftermath of that final and there is a chance that he might be at this game to watch his new team before taking over them in the summer.

It's been 10 years since the blues stopped Spurs winning the league in this very fixture and had the table stayed as it was this time last month, a win for the blues here could've sent Spurs down.

Spurs have definitely improved since Roberto De Zerbi took over but they were fortunate to come away with just a point against Leeds last time out.

Their away form has been pretty decent this season compared to their home form but their record at Stamford Bridge is terrible.

Chelsea may be out of sorts at the moment and in poor form at home, but I do think they'll come out on top here because of their record in this fixture.

PREDICTION: 2-1
