In Across the Leagues EXTRA today:

• Premier League Predictions…
• 11/1 Midweek Acca…
• Correct Scores and key stats…

It was a case of third time lucky with our Man City Correct Score predictions last week…

City beat Aston Villa, 2-0, with that score-line priced at 7/1.

Pep Guardiola’s side have now won 7 of their 10 home games in the Premier League this season. And all 7 of those victories have been To Nil.

Overall, after a 3-1 away win in the FA Cup at the weekend, Man City have won 10 games in a row.

This evening, the Etihad club go to West Brom (8.15pm, BT Sport). And once again, we’ve got a Man City Win to Nil score-line in our predictions. See below.

‘Quirks of the fixture computer’…

I love a good footballing cliché. Quirks of the fixture computer is one of them. The busy league & cup schedules have set up a couple of repeat clashes this month…

Liverpool 0 Man Utd 0 in the league was followed a week later by Man Utd 3 Liverpool 2 in the FA Cup.

Tonight, Southampton host Arsenal in the Premier League, having beaten the Gunners 1-0 in the cup on Saturday. After not fielding a full-strength line up at the weekend, all eyes will be on Mikel Arteta’s team-sheet for today’s trip to St Mary’s.

The back-to-back meetings continue in Europe, too. Atlanta v Lazio in the Coppa Italia quarter finals tomorrow will be followed by a repeat encounter in Serie A on Sunday.

Premier League Predictions…

Here are our predictions for this week, along with Mark Lawrenson at the BBC:

The Midweek Acca…

When our Match Result predictions match up, my colleague Shaun & I roll these picks into an accumulator.

This week we have the same opinion on 4 of the 10 midweek games…

Premier League Acca:

• Man City
• Aston Villa
• Fulham
• Man Utd 

The 4-fold acca pays 11/1 with Betfred.

Correct Scores…

Our midweek predictions include two games where Shaun & I have also got matching Correct Scores…

Key stats:

• 3 of Brighton’s last 4 league games have produced a 1-0 score-line

• Man Utd are the No.1 team in the Premier League for Win & Both Teams to Score: 9 of their 12 wins have seen their opponent find the net

Fulham to win 1-0 at Brighton is 10/1 with Bet365.

Man Utd to win 3-1 v Sheff Utd is 12/1 with Bet365.

We’ll be back on Friday, with Premier League Predictions for the weekend games.

Enjoy the football…

Best wishes,

Oliver Upstone
