The Results Predictor

Despite their hot and cold nature in recent weeks, neither team is scoring or conceding as many as they should, which makes this a tight one and unlikely to be the goal fest we've seen in recent weeks. United favoured as their goals scored metric at home is marginally better. 

PREDICTION: HOME WIN (2-1). 

Confidence +1.464 

Palace favoured in this one as they are scoring 65% more than predicted at home, while Luton are leaking 80% more than they should on the road. Eze and Olise to undo the Luton defence? The maths stacks up that way.

PREDICTION: HOME WIN (2-1)

Confidence: +2.014

A really tight one, as despite appearing simple, based on league position and Sheffield United being routinely used as whipping boys, it's mainly been at home and they are at or close to historic scoring averages away from home while Bournemouth have scored only 26% as many goals as they be expected to. A draw is on the cards, but we'd be nervous about this one

PREDICTION: SCORE DRAW (1-1)

Sheffield United Favoured. Confidence: -0.144

Another close one and Fulham's tight defensive record away from home is all that tips this and they've been putting some good teams to the sword lately. It looks like Fulham might just about see this one out if they can continue their recent run.

PREDICTION: AWAY WIN (1-2)

Confidence: -1.439

The confidence meter almost hits double digits, which is almost unheard of, but when a team is scoring almost 5 goals a game and Brentford are leaking double their expected, it makes for a pretty skewed potential scoreline. Expecting another 5 here might be too much, but the home win ought to be safe.

PREDICTION: HOME WIN (5-0)

Confidence: +9.854

Just after the biggest margin you could hope for in the confidence meter, here comes the tightest. this game could honestly go either way on the flip of a coin or just one defensive error. Both scoring well, but Spurs defensive record is a little better.

PREDICTION: SCORE DRAW (2-2)

Spurs Favoured. Confidence: -0.032

Brighton have been scoring and conceding less than expected, while Forest are on the opposite end of the scale, almost double on both metrics, which makes this tough to predict, as home form says low scoring and away form looks totally the other way. As an average, it comes out half way between the two with Brighton expected to come out just on top.

PREDICTION: HOME WIN (2-1)

Confidence: -2.136

Burnley's position at the foot of the form table with just 2 points from 21, means this swings towards the Hammers, who seem to have hit a little form since their capitulation at Arsenal a few weeks ago. Burnley just cannot seem to score either and that doesn't help them at all in any fixture. Moyes's side could yet have an off day, but everything points to another defeat for the clarets.

PREDICTION: HOME WIN (3-1)

Confidence: +3.36

A truly spicy game in the title run in means this one could be fireworks at Anfield. Liverpool's home form tips it in their favour, but Man City's away form suggest they'll come out on top. Averaging it out turns it into a draw with a very close confidence meter. A draw would suit Arsenal as they could close the gap but we'd expect one or the other to just sneak it.Might be too close to call but City are just favoured.

PREDICTION: SCORE DRAW (2-2)

Man City Favoured Confidence: -0.285

Chelsea haven't conceded at the bridge for weeks, but at the same time, they aren't scoring many either, which means with Newcastle scoring and leaking goals means this could either be a 0-0 or a 3-3 depending on whose form you look at. Overall those clean sheets at home and Newcastle's abysmal away record tip it to the blues.

PREDICTION: SCORE DRAW (1-1)

Chelsea Favoured Confidence: +0.917
