EPL: 4 fixtures that could see shock results this weekend

 

 

 

 

As the Premier League heads into Matchday 16, several fixtures could produce surprising results given recent form and circumstances. Here are four matchups to watch for potential upsets:

 

1. Fulham vs. Arsenal

 

Arsenal, competing for the title, face a resilient Fulham side under Marco Silva. Historically, the Gunners have struggled in congested fixture periods, including shock losses to mid-table teams in similar scenarios. Fulham’s strong defensive setup and consistent attacking performances make this a challenging away fixture for Arsenal.

 

2. Crystal Palace vs. Liverpool

 

Liverpool travel to Selhurst Park, a venue known for surprises. Palace, under Roy Hodgson, have been defensively solid and can exploit set pieces and counterattacks. Liverpool, while strong, have occasionally faltered against well-organized teams away from home.

 

3. Brentford vs. Newcastle United

 

Brentford host Newcastle in a clash where Thomas Frank’s side could shock the visitors. Brentford’s home form and ability to exploit defensive weaknesses with their high press and dynamic forwards could cause trouble for Newcastle, who have had inconsistencies in defense.

 

4. Brighton vs. Chelsea

 

Brighton, despite recent struggles, have the potential to upset Chelsea at Stamford Bridge. Roberto De Zerbi’s attacking style and Chelsea’s vulnerability against high-intensity pressing teams could lead to a surprising result if Brighton can finish their chances effectively.

 

These fixtures highlight how competitive and unpredictable the Premier League can be, especially during a busy winter schedule. Keep an eye on tactical battles and squad rotations, as they often play pivotal roles in delivering unexpected results.
