January's Premier League action will be rounded off with four matches taking place across Sunday, with Tottenham, Aston Villa and Manchester United all featuring.

There are two games kicking off at 2pm, as London rivals Crystal Palace and Brentford go head-to-head at Selhurst Park, while two of the division's out-of-form sides, Tottenham and Leicester, also meet in the capital.

At 4:30pm, there will be a claret and blue derby between Aston Villa and West Ham at Villa Park, while there is also a rare Sunday evening kick-off, as Fulham host the consistently inconsistent Manchester United at Craven Cottage.

  • CRYSTAL PALACE TO BEAT BRENTFORD
  • TOTTENHAM TO WIN AND BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE VS LEICESTER
  • ASTON VILLA VS WEST HAM - UNDER 2.5 GOALS
  • MANCHESTER UNITED DRAW NO BET VS FULHAM

Bet On The Premier League


Crystal Palace vs Brentford (2pm)

Palace and Brentford may be separated by just a place and point in the Premier League standings heading into the weekend’s action, but they appear to be trending in opposite directions and the momentum is firmly with the Eagles.

After a slow start to the season for Palace, who won only one of their opening 13 league games, they have now lost just once in 11 top-flight fixtures and have won four of their last five across all competitions.

By contrast, Brentford have lost six of their last nine in league and cup and they remain one of the poorest travellers in the top flight, picking up just one win and five points from 10 road matches.

With transfer speculation surrounding key forwards Yoane Wissa and Bryan Mbeumo, this feels like a sticky period for the Bees, and in-form Palace can capitalise with a victory over their rivals.

CRYSTAL PALACE TO WIN 

Tottenham vs Leicester (2pm)

Not many teams have been performing poorer than Tottenham of late in the Premier League, with Ange Postecoglou's side having taken just one point from the last 18 available, but Leicester, on a seven-game losing run in the top flight, do fall into that category.

There are explanations for Spurs' poor league form, notably their well-documented extensive injury list, but they have managed to gain positive results in cup competitions, including Thursday's 3-2 win over Hoffenheim in the Europa League.

With defenders Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven both close to returning but not yet ready for this game, Spurs will remain vulnerable at the back on Sunday.

Leicester can exploit that, with the Foxes having scored in their last two away games at Liverpool and Aston Villa, but it is hard to see them doing much more at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

This is a match that even this troubled Tottenham team should win, but don't expect them to keep a clean sheet in the process.

TOTTENHAM TO WIN 

BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE 

Aston Villa vs West Ham (4:30pm)

Graham Potter's tenure as West Ham head coach started with an FA Cup defeat at Aston Villa earlier this month and he now returns to Villa Park for a league clash that may lack in goal-mouth action.

Villa were toothless in their midweek Champions League defeat at Monaco, with boss Unai Emery admitting the second-half experiment of playing Jhon Duran and Ollie Watkins up front together was a "mistake".

With another important European match to come against Celtic on Wednesday, a fatigued Villa may not be at their best on Sunday, but perhaps neither will West Ham.

The Hammers are dealing with an injury crisis in the final third and will once again have to make do without Jarrod Bowen, Michail Antonio, Crysencio Summerville and Niclas Fullkrug.

A new striker is on Potter's January wish list, with Villa's Duran one of the players being linked, but with reinforcements unlikely to come in time for this game, goals could be lacking and that applies at both ends of the pitch.

UNDER 2.5 GOALS

Fulham vs Manchester United (7pm)

Ruben Amorim's Manchester United are a hard team to read, throwing up impressive performances and outcomes in games against Liverpool and Arsenal before needing a late show to see off rock-bottom Southampton and then losing on home soil to Brighton.

United did get a narrow win over Rangers in the Europa League on Thursday and they will take solace from an impressive record away to Sunday's opponents Fulham, as they have won their last seven visits to Craven Cottage.

Fulham sit seven points better off than United in the standings and are hard to beat, but they also have not been winning much of late, drawing six of their last 10 league fixtures.

Another share of the spoils is a real possibility on Sunday, but given United's impressive record at Fulham, there is appeal in going for an away win with the added security of doing so in the draw no bet market.

To add further credence to that belief, United have won 16 and lost only one of their last 20 meetings with Fulham, home or away, since the Cottagers last beat them at Craven Cottage in December 2009 - Danny Murphy, Bobby Zamora and Damien Duff scored the goals for the hosts that day.
