Chelsea vs Wolverhampton <\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong>The Blues will host Wolves at Stamford Bridge on Thursday, January 28 at 5:00am.<\/p>\n

Two clubs that are placed well behind the eight ball when it comes to their European qualification contentions, with Chelsea sitting mid-table and Wolves currently placed a further seven points back.<\/p>\n

The Blues have hit the proverbial wall, winning just one of their last five matches, a messy 1-0 victory over the West London rivals Fulham.<\/p>\n

With Frank Lampard\u2019s front-third struggling to find the back of the net and their defense currently holding more holes than ever, Thursday\u2019s fixture has to be where they turn their season around.<\/p>\n

With a majority of the teams that surround them in the middle bracket of the league table, Chelsea will need to collect a nice run of wins to place themselves back into heavy contention for the top four.<\/p>\n

The same can be said about Wolves, who sit in 14th with 22 points from 19 fixtures.<\/p>\n

The Midlands giants are 12 points away from the top four and haven\u2019t won a league game since mid-December, where they defeated Chelsea at the Molineux.<\/p>\n

Since then both clubs have struggled to make their mark and will both be starving for a victory in London midweek.<\/p>\n

It may all come down to attack, with questions being raised over the each club\u2019s failure to be clinical when called upon in the final third.<\/p>\n

Will Chelsea return to top-four chatter? Or will Wolves snatch the three points once again?<\/p>\n

Our Tip: Chelsea Win @ $1.60<\/strong><\/p>\n

Manchester United vs Sheffield United<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Red Devils will welcome the Blades on Thursday, January 28 at 7:15am.<\/p>\n

It will be top vs bottom on Thursday, with the struggling Blades travelling to Old Trafford to face the well-placed outfit of Manchester United.<\/p>\n

The Red Devils have thoroughly enjoyed 2021 so far, sitting at the summit of the league table after a 13-game undefeated run.<\/p>\n

That streak is tipped to move to No.14 this week as they host the 20th-placed Sheffield United, who finally collected their first win of the season against Newcastle last week.<\/p>\n

The Blades sit on just five points from their 19 matches, meaning a gap of 35 points is placed between them and their opponents for matchweek 20.<\/p>\n

Chris Wilder has failed to come up with answers to the numerous problems riddling his side\u2019s season, but has remained optimistic despite his club\u2019s struggles.<\/p>\n

Hopefully some of that hope can conjure their second victory of the season, with the Blades coming close to collecting points last time these two played.<\/p>\n

The side from Manchester will look to extend their stay atop the table, with rivals Manchester City breathing down their neck in second place.<\/p>\n

Another win this week will move them into the weekend with an extra touch of confidence before they travel to London to face Arsenal.<\/p>\n

Will United continue their hot run? Or will the Blades snatch a surprising three points?<\/p>\n

Our Tip: Manchester United To Win @ $1.25<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tottenham vs Liverpool<\/strong><\/p>\n

Liverpool will travel to Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Friday, January 29 at 7:00am.<\/p>\n

Fourth will play fifth as the Reds travel south to London to face the Spurs, a match that had pitted the top two sides in the league against each other when they last faced off in December.<\/p>\n

Fast track to today and both sides have fallen from the summit since, with Liverpool failing to win any of their past six matches, a run that included a 1-0 defeat to Burnley at Anfield, snapping their record home run.<\/p>\n

Thankfully the Reds\u2019 strong start has kept them in the title race as they sit two wins away from the top and one point ahead of their midweek matchup.<\/p>\n

Tottenham faced a similar slump to end 2020 and have now looked to claw back from their missed opportunities as they remain in fifth place and still in the hunt for the premiership.<\/p>\n

Despite going undefeated in their past four fixtures, the Londoners haven\u2019t faced a side higher than 12 in that run and will be looking to send a message to the league this week that their poor run is well and truly in the past.<\/p>\n

With both clubs looking to prove themselves once again, Friday\u2019s clash is sure to be nothing short of exciting, with a fiery tussle set to be placed for the entire 90 minutes.<\/p>\n

With star power scattered across the field and two managers nearing breaking-point, this clash is sure to be one fans won\u2019t want to miss.<\/p>\n

Can Tottenham return to their best? Or will Liverpool reignite some form?<\/p>\n

Our Tip: Both Teams To Score @ $1.60<\/strong><\/p>\n
