Liverpool vs Newcastle United
Liverpool have seen their Premier League campaign spiral out of control since the turn of the year. Once looking primed to be one of the contenders for the title for a third successive season, the Reds have ended up being horrendous in the defence of their crown, having won just six of their 16 top-flight outings in 2021.
Newcastle meanwhile have managed to pull themselves away from the drop zone in recent weeks. Indeed, Steve Bruce & co. have lost just one of their last seven league games, meaning they are comfortably ahead of 18th-placed Fulham.
The reverse fixture, played at St. James’ Park back in December, saw Liverpool and Newcastle play out a drab goalless draw.

West-ham vs Chelsea
West-ham United have been one of the surprise packages in the 2020/21 Premier League season. The Hammers, after narrowly staving off relegation last season, have completely transformed into European football hopefuls, with a top four finish not out of the question at all. The defeat to Newcastle United last weekend, though, was a dent to their Champions League hopes and they sit a place below their visitors.
Speaking of, Chelsea head into this weekend placed fourth in the Premier League standings, ahead of West Ham by just goal difference. The Blues have seen a strong start under Thomas Tuchel become a thing of the past, having failed to win three of their last six games in all competitions, with their most recent clash ending in a goalless draw against Brighton.
The reverse fixture, played at Stamford Bridge back in December, saw Chelsea cruise to a 3-0 win over West Ham.
