Charlie Nicholas’ Premier League score predictions – 22nd November

We continue our look at what Sky Sports pundit Charlie Nicholas has predicted…

BOURNEMOUTH v WOLVES

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

He said on Sky Sports’ website: “Wolves do not score a lot of goals and Bournemouth used to, but they have quietened down a tad. They do like these scenarios, while Wolves like an open game, so it could suit both sides. Raul Jimenez, Diogo Jota and Adama Traore look a major threat as a front three with an abundance of pace and skill up front. Bournemouth are good going forward but shaky at the back. It is something that will suit the away side in this one.”

 

BRIGHTON v LEICESTER

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

He said on Sky Sports’ website: “This is a cracking game, which I would be quite happy to have on Saturday. Leicester have been pretty fabulous. They play good football, show plenty of passion and commitment, especially at the back, with a balance that is brilliant to the team. The group is not strong enough in choice, so Brendan Rodgers is more or less picking the same 12 or 13 every week.

“Brighton have been impressive at home. Pascal Gross is back to his best, I like Leandro Trossard and he has made a difference to Brighton’s dynamic, particularly when they are going forward and these games can become awkward for Leicester. Both teams like to attack and are a bit vulnerable due to the differing counter-attack systems they sometimes play, but it will be a good game all around.”

 

CRYSTAL PALACE v LIVERPOOL

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

He said on Sky Sports’ website: “We keep tipping Liverpool to slip up and they aren’t doing it, despite not being at the top of their game and showing they are an efficient machine. Crystal Palace have been awkward for Liverpool in past.

“Their players have been travelling a lot and there is no rest for Liverpool. Virgil van Dijk should be back after missing the last Netherlands game for personal reasons and Jurgen Klopp needs to get by with same three because there is no reason to change it up. Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain is fighting fit and looking as though he deserves a starting berth and with Andy Robertson not playing for Scotland, he should be fit too.

“Dare I say, Christian Benteke may be a threat to his old team? He needs goals badly and it is something to consider, but I think Liverpool will edge it.”

 

EVERTON v NORWICH

The score Charlie Nicholas has predicted for this game is: 2-0

He said on Sky Sports’ website: “This is a massive one for Everton and I have to fancy them at home. It has not been good to watch and Marco Silva has chopped and changed team a lot. His breakdown of the last away game suggested he doesn’t seem to feel pressure at all – what a load of rubbish!

“I’ll tell you the reason why you feel pressure Mr Silva, in the last few games you have changed the team on a regular basis, sometimes four of five players, which tells you that you do not know your best starting team. Moise Kean sounds as though he may be heading back to Italy, Cenk Tosun is back in the starting line-up, Richarlison is delivering with his goals and I always think he will get you double figures, Theo Walcott has been alright, but Gylfi Sigurdsson has been in and out.

“Norwich have never really recovered from the win over Manchester City. They seem like they are lost for ideas, while Teemu Pukki and the attackers cannot do anything at the moment. It will be another win for Everton which will relieve the stress and pain for now.”

 

WATFORD v BURNLEY

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

He said on Sky Sports’ website: “Quique Sanchez Flores earned a great result with the win at Norwich, finally! He may be feeling some sort of reward now, but he will still be working away on the mental fitness instead of the physical fitness.

“I cannot work Burnley out – they are hard to beat and good up front. They were battered at home to Chelsea but missed loads of chances, especially Ashley Barnes. They then go to Sheffield United and get hammered – Burnley are inconsistent and Watford are better than what their results suggest. Troy Deeney should be back fit and he will make a big difference for them.”
