After last weekend’s FA Cup distraction, the Premier League is back with some intriguing match-ups, including the biggest test of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s embryonic managerial career at Man United.

First up is one of the lesser London derbies, as West Ham invite Arsenal over for lunch on Saturday. A bright start to December, which saw the Hammers pick up 4 consecutive wins, unravelled at the end of the month, where a victory at Southampton was joined by losses to Watford and Burnley. The New Year then kicked off with a draw against Brighton, followed by a Cup win over Birmingham.

The Gunners, meanwhile, saved their worst performance under Unai Emery for the very end of 2018, closing out the year with a humiliating 5-1 loss at Liverpool. 2019, then, acted as a reset, with the club picking up 4-1 and 3-0 victories against Fulham and Blackpool. As for Saturday, with the league’s joint top scorer Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang – who sits at a Super Mega PGM of 48-56 – in their ranks, the visitors will be feeling pretty confidence, at an Arsenal/West Ham (h) Goal Supremacy spread of 0.3-0.5.

Saturday’s other game sees a potentially mismatched affair between Chelsea and Newcastle at 5.30pm. Since the end of November, the Blues have started to regularly stumble in the league, the side unable to string together more than 2 wins at a time. Eden Hazard also remains their only prolific option up front, the Belgian at a Super Mega PGM of 51-59.

That is, however, far better than how the Toon are faring at the moment. Teetering above the relegation zone, Newcastle have won just 4 games all season, with only 1 victory in their last 8 league fixtures. In other words, they might be in for another miserable weekend, with Spreadex offering a rather conclusive Chelsea/Newcastle Goal Supremacy spread of 1.8-2.

Lurking just outside the top 10, Everton and Bournemouth then go head-to-head at 2.15pm on Sunday. The Toffees have hit a real rough patch recently; Boxing Day’s 5-1 win at Burnley aside they’ve looked pretty rubbish, even when factoring in tough fixtures against Liverpool, Man City and Tottenham.

For Bournemouth, 2018/19 so far has been a tale of 2 halves. Until the end of October they’d only lost twice in 10 games; since then they’ve drawn 1, won 2 and lost 8, a near complete 180 that has ended their hopes of this season being anything special. They’re also set to struggle on Sunday, with Spreadex offering an Everton/Bournemouth Goal Supremacy spread of 0.65-0.85.

Finally, and easily the biggest game of the weekend, Tottenham host Man United at Wembley at 4.30pm. United have looked transformed under Solskjaer; he has won 5 games in 5, with 16 goals scored and 3 conceded. He is, however, yet to face a genuine challenge, all of his opponents coming from the bottom half of the table or lower.

That all changes on Sunday, when United travel to a Spurs side that sporadically undercuts their world-beating performances – recently they’ve beaten Everton 6-2, Bournemouth 5-0 and Tranmere 7-0 – with a baffling one – i.e. their 2018-closing loss at home to Wolves. Harry Kane is in fine form, his 20 goals in all competitions leaving him with a Super Mega PGM of 32-35, and could be the difference this weekend, with Spreadex offering a Tottenham/Man United Goal Supremacy spread of 0.35-0.55.
