Ex-Chelsea and Liverpool player Joe Cole has made his predictions on the standout games in the Premier League this weekend as he backed both Liverpool and Arsenal for victory. Joe Cole made his predictions in a chat with All To Play For From Joe And Coral via Metro. Manchester City have won 15 games in a row in all competitions and that run has taken the Citizens to the top of the table but Joe Cole is confident that the run will end when Jose Mourinho and his Tottenham Hotspur players visit Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium later this weekend.
Joe Cole has backed Tottenham Hotspur to pick a draw in what’s the biggest league game in the English top flight this weekend. Manchester City have lost their last two meetings with Spurs by the same 2-0 scoreline and the latest meeting gives them the chance to avenge those defeats, though the two teams still have scores to settle in the Capital One Cup final in April.
Joe Cole also made predictions on the Liverpool and Arsenal games. According to him, Liverpool will bounce back with a win at the home of Leicester City, who are one place and three points better than the Reds. Joe Cole expects his former team to bounce back from the disappointing 4-1 home loss to Manchester City last weekend. That heavy defeat at the hands of Manchester City all but ended Liverpool’s hopes of retaining the title they won last year.
On the Arsenal vs. Leeds United clash at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday, Joe Cole said Leeds United are unpredictable and that it’s difficult to back them. He went for an Arsenal win over Marcelo Bielsa’s team. Arsenal will have to navigate the game without the duo of Thomas Partey and Kieran Tierney. The two key players are doubtful for the Europa League knockout stage last 32 first leg clash with Benfica FC of Portugal next week.
