Charlie Nicholas’ Premier League predictions – 6th December

Charlie Nicholas has given his predictions for all of this weekend’s Premier League fixtures and it’s fair to say there are some eye-catching scores.

The former Celtic, Arsenal, Aberdeen and Scotland footballer currently works as a pundit for Sky Sports and most every weekend appears on the Soccer Saturday show to commentate on games and get involved with debates. See what he went with below and on the next few pages…

MAN CITY v MAN UTD

The score Charlie Nicholas has predicted for this game is: 3-1

He said on Sky Sports’ website: “Does United’s victory over Spurs signify the turning of a corner under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer? We’ve said that so many times, but we’ve been proven wrong on every occasion. City have the fire, the burning desire back in their bellies, we saw that in the victory at Burnley, and it is for that reason why the United revival will be short-lived. It will be a blue day in Manchester.”

 

ASTON VILLA v LEICESTER

The score Charlie Nicholas has predicted for this game is: 2-2

He said on Sky Sports’ website: “You are always unsure at how these games are going to go. Leicester have been flying without necessarily playing to their absolute best. A few decisions have worked out for them, with Brendan Rodgers the beneficiary of luck when it has fallen his way. The Premier League table doesn’t look attractive to Villa, but they play expansively and, with Leicester likely to open up the game, they could take something.”

 

BRIGHTON v WOLVES

The score Charlie Nicholas has predicted for this game is: 1-2

He said on Sky Sports’ website: “Brighton are far more attacking under Graham Potter, especially at home. This is a game that will suit Wolves – they find it difficult to break down teams that sit in and Brighton are very expansive. They will not set up shop and sit in – they will go out to win this game. I like Wolves in these scenarios, they have been slow but they are getting there.”

 

WEST HAM v ARSENAL

The score Charlie Nicholas has predicted for this game is: 1-3

He said on Sky Sports’ website: “These are two teams in a right mess. I saw more fight from Arsenal at Norwich, but it was a disaster defensively and a crazy team selection from Freddie Ljungberg. West Ham will be up for it, as will Arsenal – they have a chance of catching up and getting back in the top six. A bit of momentum can get you there. They have class up top, but West Ham are not showing a lot at the moment.

 

EVERTON v CHELSEA

The score Charlie Nicholas has predicted for this game is: 2-1

He said on Sky Sports’ website: “Marco Silva’s immediate replacement may be a temporary one, but it will be one that should give Everton a much-needed lift. I am not convinced by Chelsea’s defence, they looked uncomfortable at times against Aston Villa. Things haven’t gone Everton’s way under Silva, but they are a team of scrappers, and I see them battling their way to three points.”
