Huddersfield Town vs Manchester City (Sunday, Jan 20 @13:30 GMT)
Now let’s see what can we expect from the second placed team on the table. Manchester City travel to the bottom-placed team Huddersfield Town this week. After two shocking defeats during the festive period, Pep Guardiola’s team has bounced back with three victories in the English Premier League and some very convincing performances in the League Cup and FA Cup.
Trending
Huddersfield Town parted ways with David Wagner this week. And with just 2 wins and 15 losses from 22 games, I do not see any light at the end of the tunnel. This team will be relegated at the end of the season.
Manchester City will come out with three points and keep improving the goal difference, which could come into play if Liverpool were to stumble on their march to the title.
Fulham vs Tottenham Hotspur (Sunday, Jan 20 @16:00 GMT)
Third-placed Tottenham Hotspur travel to Craven Cottage to face Claudio Ranieri’s Fulham. Fulham are in the relegation battle sitting 19th on the table with 14 points. In contrast to Huddersfield Town, this team can still hope and fight till the end to come out of the drop-zone.
Since Claudio Ranieri’s appointment as manager in mid-November of 2018, Fulham have lost only one game at home. The team is attacking well, however haven’t been able to give that crucial finishing touch. The latest addition of Ryan Babel is going to make the front-line more threatening and the fans can expect more goals.
In contrast, Tottenham Hotspur who were cruising and scoring heavily have suddenly lost two of their prominent goal scorers. Heung-min Son is unavailable due to national team duty and Harry Kane is out until March with an ankle injury. The lack of goals from other quarters is going to pinch Tottenham Hotspur.
Fulham can fancy themselves to upset Tottenham Hotspur and close the gap on the 17th placed team on the table. If that were to happen, then as I said earlier, four teams will be battling for the third and fourth position.
