West Ham vs Arsenal – Arsenal 

West Ham face Arsenal on Sunday with the advantage of having defeated them twice already this season: once in the Carabao Cup in November and again with a surprising 2-0 victory at the Emirates in December. 

Despite a recent loss to Manchester United, West Ham have shown consistency with just one loss in their last seven games and two defeats in their last 12. 

Their home record is strong, with six unbeaten games, including three wins and three draws. Arsenal, however, will be cautious of West Ham's threat following their previous losses. Despite a recent impressive win against Liverpool, Arsenal's away form is less consistent than their home form. 

With only one win in their last four away games, they'll aim to maintain their momentum after the Liverpool victory.

Aston Villa vs Man Utd – Man Utd 

Aston Villa will be looking to bounce back from recent setbacks as they seek only their second win in six matches when they host a resurgent Manchester United at Villa Park on Sunday. 

Villa's FA Cup journey ended with a 3-1 loss to Chelsea, while Manchester United comfortably defeated West Ham 3-0 in their last Premier League match. 

Villa's once formidable home record has faltered, suffering successive 3-1 defeats after an impressive 15-match winning streak. Meanwhile, Manchester United has found their scoring touch, converting 20% of their shots in recent games compared to just 3% previously. 

Despite defensive vulnerabilities and the absence of Martinez, Villa remains a threat at home. Emery's side may respond positively after their FA Cup exit, but facing a confident Manchester United, the Red Devils are poised for a fourth consecutive victory.

Nigeria vs Ivory Coast - Ivory Coast 

The Africa Cup of Nations final on Sunday will see Nigeria and Ivory Coast facing off again at the Alassane Ouattara Stadium, a rematch from their Group A encounter. 

Despite Nigeria's earlier victory, both teams have undergone significant changes since then. Nigeria, once considered outsiders, have defied expectations and now hold the momentum, while Ivory Coast has overcome challenges to reach the final. 

Although Ivory Coast fans had hoped for a spot in the final before the tournament began, Nigeria's journey has been more surprising, with defeats to Algeria and Tunisia followed by early exits in the knockout stages. 

Ivory Coast appears to have a physical advantage over Nigeria, suggesting a narrow victory for the Elephants, who seem better prepared for the final showdown.
