Stoke City vs Arsenal (EPL) January 17th 2016

Britannia Stadium -- Britannia Stadium is something for EPL Big Teams, including Arsenal. Last time they can beat Stoke in Britannia is on 2010. Manchester United, Manchester City and Chelsea also beaten by Stoke this season in Britannia Stadium.

In Order to back to the top of the table, Arsenal at least must earn draw result -- due to better goal differences than Leicester -- but it's not an easy task looking for the past record.

Many injury player also become a problem for Arsenal. They already bought Elneny from Basel to overcome the problem. But, it will need time for him to adapt in Premier League.

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger is considering selecting Alexis Sanchez for the first time since he suffered a hamstring injury in November.

Stoke's Xherdan Shaqiri, who missed the win over Norwich, is again sidelined with a hamstring injury, while Geoff Cameron is out with an ankle problem.
Marko Arnautovic is fit, while Phil Bardsley and Stephen Ireland may feature after recovering from injuries.

Stamford Bridge -- Chelsea will try to maintain their positive movement when they face Everton. Chelsea were unbeaten in last 20 matches when play in Stamford Bridge against Everton.

Chelsea are again without Eden Hazard and Radamel Falcao, who are sidelined by respective groin and thigh problems.

Winger Pedro could lose his starting spot after a poor display against West Brom, with Kenedy an alternative option for the champions.
Everton reported no new injury concerns after their draw at Manchester City.

Everton also showed quite good performace, although they obtained too much draw result. They only lost 5 times in Premier League this season. Lukaku will become the edge of the tomb for Everton, looking for his productive season so far.

Chelsea will work hard to revenge their lost in Goodison Park in the early season and climb up the league's table.

Joe Allen Saved Liverpool from Defeat

Anfield -- Many goals happened in this match. Until 5 minutes before the game ended, Arsenal looks like will earn 3 points and secure their top position. Arsenal had their advantage at the top of the Premier League cut after Joe Allen's late equalizer gave Liverpool a deserved point in an Anfield thriller.

Roberto Firmino twice gave Liverpool the lead in a breathless first half.  But Olivier Giroud's second-half strike - his second of the night and 18th of the season - looked to have put the Gunners on course for a crucial victory before Joe Allen made the equalizer and made the score 3-3.

Arsenal, when they should have been pressuring a desperately poor and under-strength Liverpool defence, instead allowed themselves to be pushed back. This was two points lost and Klopp will be the much happier manager. 

With this result, Arsenal still on the top, but only lead by goal difference by Leicester City who can surprisingly beat Spurs in White Hart Lane. Arsenal and Leicester collect 43 points, followed by Manchester City with 40 points -- because they failed to win against Everton.

Liverpool vs Arsenal (EPL) January 13th 2016

Anfield -- There's no meetings in whole Premier league history which can created as much hat-trick as the meeting of Liverpool and Arsenal (5 hat-trick). Their 9 last meetings produced 35 goals.

This season, Liverpool had problem on their attacking sector. But, Liverpool has great record against Arsenal. In Anfield, they won 10 times compared to Arsenal which only earn 6 won and 7 match resulted at draw.

However, Arsenal had the greatest chance creator, Ozil, which take part in 16 goals out of 24 last Arsenal goals. Klopp possibly to playing James Milner to stop Ozil. Klopp must be careful of Arsenal's habit that they can always start the game well.

In this match, Liverpool can depend on Moreno, who already create much chance for Liverpool. Wenger must secure at least 1 point so their top position will not fall to their nearest rival.

ODDS :
Over 2.5 Goals (1.97)

St James Park -- Manchester United is trying to maintain their positive run. They achieved 2 wins in a row, which bring back their confidence. The Red Devils will try to continue their run when they visit St. James Park to face Newcastle.

Newcastle still in crisis. Many injury player and inconsistency performance become a big problem. They already suffered 4 lost in a row and they drown into relegation zone. They must wake up as soon as possible if they don't want to play in Championship Division next year.

In the last 3 meetings in St.James Park, Manchester United always win and never conceded any goal.
Van Gaal will try to continue those trends and try to bought 3 points so that they can go back to Champions League zone.

But, recently, Two clubs struggling for goals and finding it difficult reaching their respective expectations.
Newcastle have scored just one goal in their last four Premier League games. However, they have only lost two of their last seven at St James' Park.

Chelsea beat Palace 3-0, First win for Hiddink

Selhurst Park -- Chelsea finally showed great performance this season when visited Selhurst Park. They won 3-0 with the goals from Costa, Oscar and Willian. Costa already scored goals 2 match in a row. It shows that his sharpness is back on track.

This is also become the first win from Hiddink since he replace Mourinho place. Hiddink also brings Chelsea achieve 3 matches unbeaten.

Palace's manager, Alan Pardew, said that Chelsea's mentality already changed. SO Chelsea deserved to win.

Hiddink told : "Do not go over the top, it is the first win after a worrying period with two draws so the team desperately needed the win and it was convincing.. The one disappointment for Hiddink was the injury to Eden Hazard, which ended the Belgian's match after just 15 minutes.

This is Chelsea's first away victory in their last eight Premier League away matches (losing four and drawing three) and the first since August when they beat West Brom 3-2 at the Hawthorns. 

The Blues' four-match run without defeat is their longest this season and moves last year's champions to 14th in the league, still 13 points adrift of a Champions League spot.

Crystal Palace vs Chelsea FC (EPL) January 3rd 2016

Selhurst Park -- Two teams with good momentum will face each other to continue their momentumes.
Palace unbeaten in last 6 EPL matches. Hiddink's army still unbeaten but they still never win also. But overall Chelsea already unbeaten 3 EPL matches in a row (the first time in this season).

Diego Costa last performance was great. This may bring back his confidence and his sharpness which is very good for Chelsea.

Palace can run far this season. If they can beat Chelsea, they will replace MU position in Europa League zone.But, tonight they must play without Cabaye, Bolasie and Wickham which gave a lot for this team so far.

Looking 4 last matches between Palace and Chelsea, they each won 2 times. DRAW never happened in their last 10 meetings. So, I think that statistics may continue because both team need 3 points for different purpose.

In Chelsea side, Fabregas and Cahill still unsure to play. If they not play, it will be hard for Chelsea. Chelsea will count on Oscar and Willian to serve Costa at the edge of the tomb.

Now let we see the odds:
 Palace 4.00
Draw 3.50
Chelsea 2.00

Over 2.25 goals  (1.94)

Sunderland AFC vs Liverpool FC (EPL December 31th 2015)

Stadium Of Light - At the end of the year, Liverpool will come to Stadium of Light to secure another 3 points to make their League position nearer to European section.

But, Liverpool come with unimpressive record when play away. Liverpool losses 2 of their last away matches without scoring ANY GOALS !
This is must be fixed by Klopp, so Liverpool can compete in top ranking.
Liverpool productivity still become a problem. They only scored 3 goals in 5 matches in all competitions.
But the good news is that Benteke already show his talent during match against Leicester City.

In other hand, Sunderland is in a great hard time. They lost 4 times in a row in Premier League.
They must get point(s) in this match, or they will be closer to Championship Division. They have 7 points distance from Swansea who placed in the last safe rank in League.

In Head to Head, Liverpool has impressive record against Sunderland. They never lost from Sunderland in their 8 last meetings (6 Wins). Looking from this record, Klopp predicted will earn 3 points easily from Stadium of Light.

Because of Skrtel still on injury, Liverpool must be careful and played with no rush because in their lack of productivity, conceded a goal will destroy their chance to earn victory.
First goal is important for Liverpool.

Now let we see the odds
Sunderland 5.65
Draw 3.80
Liverpool 1.67

Over 2.5 (1.96)
Under 2.5 (1.87)

Stoke City vs Chelsea FC (English Premier League) November 7th 2015

Single match won from five matches in English Premier League was really bad for a club like Chelsea.
Now they wanted to build a positive momentum as they could win 2-1 against Dynamo Kiev in Champions League. Win streak will be good for the team's morale.
But, without Mourinho's assistance (FA punishment), it will be hard to win against The Potters.

In other side, the performance of The Potters in Home Matches also awful. In 5 matches, they only got 1 win and 3 losses !
It is surprising because Britannia Stadium is really unfriendly for the visitors, especially for "Big Team".
But, the moment where they beat Chelsea on League Cup (although just in Penalty Kick event), will blow their morale up and will become a good motivation to reach a good result.

Look the statistics, Chelsea won three last matches against Stoke City on Premier League.
Last season, Chelsea won 2-0 in Britannia with Fabregas as a key player with a goal and an assist.
But this season, Fabregas still under performed and this will become a problem for Chelsea to win the game.

Fast goal will become the key for Chelsea. But when we looked from the match against Kiev, Chelsea lost their domination while they're leading until Kiev can make the score equal. It's very bad.

While seeing the condition of both teams, draw will be a fair result.
Willian will become the key player for Chelsea because of his amusing performance in the last match.
If Chelsea lost, Mourinho will face a great pressure and possible to be fired.
Both teams want to win the game to fix their positions on League.

Now we will the the odds :
Stoke 4.00
Draw 3.50
Chelsea 2.05

Over 2.5 (2.05)
Under 2.5 (1.75)

IST (International Soccer Tipster) Prediction :
Under 2.5
