Premier League round-up: Newcastle stumble as Brighton and ... (The Irish Times)

Leicester enjoy rousing comeback win at Aston Villa.

The away supporters have evidently run out of patience with manager Jones, greeting one substitution with a chorus of ‘you don’t know what you’re doing’. Both sides threatened throughout a pacy first half, the Cherries somehow surviving an onslaught that saw Deniz Undav denied three times within a matter of seconds. For Rodgers, who got the better of Emery in both games between the pair when the Spaniard was at Arsenal, it was a vital three points as Leicester moved up to 13th place in the table. The goal the hosts had been threatening arrived when Mbeumo spun out of trouble on the left wing and swung in a cross which Mee met with a powerful header. The visitors could have clambered off the bottom of the Premier League with a victory, but instead goals from Ben Mee, Bryan Mbeumo and Mathias Jensen condemned them to an eighth loss in their last nine matches and prolongedf Brentford’s impressive campaign. A point was no more than the Hammers deserved after recovering from a dreadful start in front of a crowd of 52,256 to deny Eddie Howe victory in his 600th game as a manager.

Premier League clubs scramble for sponsorship deals: 'It's almost ... (The Athletic)

The theory goes that the biggest deals of the football season have been done and the chaos of the transfer market can be put back in its box until summer.

[Leeds](https://theathletic.com/football/team/leeds-united/), meanwhile, are expected to continue their multi-year deal with SBOTOP. [Wolverhampton Wanderers](https://theathletic.com/football/team/wolverhampton-wanderers/) are also due to see shirt sponsorship agreements expire at the end of this season. [Aston Villa](https://theathletic.com/football/team/aston-villa/) have had a backlash from supporters after a proposed deal with online casino [BK8 — which was axed by Norwich in 2021 over sexually provocative adverts](https://theathletic.com/2643516/2021/06/10/norwichs-bk8-pr-disaster-was-an-embarrassment-for-a-club-used-to-the-moral-high-ground/) — became public earlier this month. [Manchester United](https://theathletic.com/football/team/manchester-united/) are in the market for a shirt sponsor after it was announced in December that [the club and TeamViewer, the German software firm, had agreed to curtail a deal due to run until 2026](https://theathletic.com/4006335/2022/12/15/man-utd-teamviewer-sponsor/). It is in the bottom half of the Premier League where partnerships with gambling firms figure most prominently. Manchester United’s deal with TeamViewer — which replaced Chevrolet before the 2021-22 season — was worth more than Chelsea’s arrangement with 3, and there will be ambitions to see greater sums recouped with a new long-term partnership. But doing those deals at the same time places a hell of a strain on the commercial team.” The cornerstone of a healthy portfolio of sponsors are your major assets that you want locked in for the long-term at premium value. Those figures will be viewed through cynical eyes by the European football establishment, but the pressure is on to maximise their own income. The marketing world expects a backer with links to Saudi Arabia after the Public Investment Fund takeover transformed life at St James’ Park, creating an untapped source of revenue for a club that trailed its rivals by a distance under Mike Ashley. Etihad, the UAE-based airline, is expected to continue its long partnership as shirt sponsor if something more lucrative cannot be found, but the water is being tested by the Premier League champions. [Chelsea](https://theathletic.com/football/team/chelsea/), the biggest spenders in January, have neither a front-of-shirt nor a sleeve sponsor for next season.

West Ham vs Newcastle: Lucas Paqueta cancelled out Calum Wilson's third-minute opener as the visitors dealt a serious blow to the Magpie's chances of contesting ...

Declan Rice’s corner fell to Paqueta who poked the ball past Nick Pope to restore parity. Newcastle remains 4th in the league table with 40 points two behind Manchester United while West Ham sits 16th with 19 just two points from safety. West Ham United held Newcastle United to boost their chances of Premier League survival while Arsenal suffered a rare defeat and Liverpool continued their miserable season with another loss in the latest round of matches.

Premier League predictions: Jones Knows thinks Kai Havertz will ... (Sky Sports)

Match highlights of every Premier League game to be shown on the Sky Sports website and app just after full-time; watch Chelsea vs Fulham, Newcastle vs West ...

The price is tight enough at 8/5 with Sky Bet for an away win so getting a bit braver and banking on Leeds to win by two or more goals at 5/1 is worth a small interest. Yet, there is enough of an argument here to take on the Toon at 8/13 for the win with Sky Bet, and invest in West Ham to avoid defeat at 5/4. If you look at the last 13 occasions when a non-big six side have made a cup final, only two of those teams managed to win their next league match (W2, D4, L7) and the team in question only scored 12 goals in those 13 encounters. It's a run of results that is a tad misleading as when assessing the performance data they deserved more from defeats at Aston Villa, Crystal Palace, Leicester and Tottenham. A win over Bournemouth and Michael Olise's last-minute wonder goal in the 1-1 draw with United have kept the focus off Patrick Vieira for the time being but it's hard to make a case for them at Old Trafford. Newcastle aren't usually a team to bet against as Eddie Howe has built a magnificently resolute and together group that have quality in key areas of the pitch. That can be seen through his fouls committed data in the last two fixtures: he made two vs Chelsea and four at Brighton in the FA Cup. This more direct approach of getting the ball into dangerous positions quicker does tend to get the crowd involved and when Goodison Park is on song, it's a tough place for the opposition to play. There is now a clear philosophy and method to the way Villa are structured with and without the ball - they are difficult to create big chances against and play with great intensity when tasked with breaking forward. Fulham are vulnerable through the centre of their defence and Havertz somehow failed to score from a 0.40 worth of an expected goals tally in the 2-1 defeat at Craven Cottage. That balance stems from the midfield duo of Douglas Luiz and Boubacar Kamara, who can do it all - from stellar defensive work to bursting through midfield to start counter attacks. The 5/1 on him scoring first and 11/1 to score twice are punts to keep in mind.

Premier League tip preview: Manchester City unlikely to slip up at ... (Planet Sport)

As Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur square up for the second time in as many weeks, Tipstrr football expert Paul Bathurst expects another clinical ...

The defender himself denied these claims, citing his loan move was purely to obtain more minutes on the pitch. With Manchester City's desperation for all three points here, alongside the metrics of both sides, and combined with the absence of Antonio Conte, City to take the win at around 8/11 is likely to be a solid option. Back on January 19, City hosted Spurs in a thriller which ended 4-2, thanks to a second half comeback that has become a trademark of the current champions. New signing Arnaut Danjuma completed the scoring with a debut goal to put the icing on a good day out for Antonio Conte. Guardiola opted to go strong, perhaps to set a marker for the season ahead, and his side passed the test with flying colours. As the second half of the season continues, Pep Guardiola can ill afford for his side to drop points with Arsenal possessing a five-point lead, as well as a game in hand on his Manchester City side.

Tottenham vs Manchester City game simulated to predict intriguing ... (Football.London)

Tottenham Hotspur host Manchester City in the Premier League on Sunday afternoon, so we simulated the clash to predict the final score.

In a dangerous position, the striker shot early, and his strike flew across Ederson and into the far corner to draw the game level. All of a sudden, Spurs were on top, and they came inches away from finding the equaliser when Son's volley at the back stick bruised the post. Four minutes later, City grabbed a second, with Rodri silencing the stadium with a rocket to find the top corner from outside the box. 14 minutes after the restart, Spurs pulled a goal back as Porro grabbed an assist on his debut. Spurs started on the back foot against City, with Conte's side spending most of the opening 30 minutes pegged back in their own half. [Spurs](https://www.football.london/all-about/spurs) booked their spot in the fifth round of the FA Cup in their last outing, with a Heung-Min Son brace followed by a debut goal from Arnaut Danjuma securing a 3-0 win over Preston North End.

Premier League odds and betting tips (Irish Mirror)

Our betting expert with tips for big clash in north London and Leeds at Nottingham Forest PLUS Serie A angle.

[Harry Kane](https://www.irishmirror.ie/all-about/harry-kane) ‘to win it without Haaland’ – 2/7 (Hills) – but the punt that comes with proper gravy is ‘Kane’s club after summer transfer window’… If he starts, 7/2 (888sport) that Porro ‘gets a card’ is huge based on his recent numbers in Portugal. The 9/1 (Unibet) Kulusevski ‘anytime scorer’ is about right as well. Nimble Dejan Kulusevski is fair value at 3/1 (Paddy) ‘to assist a goal’ on his numbers. But they’ve scored a few as well, and Spurs fans can reasonably hope to see their side catch City flat-footed on the counter (4.30pm).
