| Liverpool vs TottenhamBoth teams have struggled for form of late, with Liverpool’s title challenge all but over and Spurs’ hopes of claiming a top four spot becoming increasingly distant. However, Liverpool remain a formidable outfit at Anfield, while Tottenham’s defensive vulnerabilities in open play and at set pieces could be their undoing here. |
| Chelsea vs West HamThis is a tough match to call, with Chelsea one of the few teams that can flatter to deceive even during a run of one defeat in 11 matches. Although West Ham have only won one of their previous eight EPL games, they remain resilient in defence and effective in attacking transition, and I’m tipping them to steal a point at Stamford Bridge. |
| Brighton vs Aston VillaBrighton have won just six of their previous 27 EPL matches, but have also only lost three times at home this season. Conversely, Villa have maintained relatively steady form in pursuit of UCL qualification and lost just one of their seven away matches in 2024. I expect them to continue this here and secure another crucial three points on the south coast. |
| Man City vs WolvesCity are the justified favourites to beat Wolves at the Etihad, having not lost here in the league since November 2022. They’re also unbeaten in 19 Premier League games overall, while Wolves have won just one of their previous seven matches in the top flight. So, it’s hard to see past a comfortable win for the home side here! |
| Arsenal v BournemouthThis will be a tough test for Arsenal, as Bournemouth are in excellent form, aggressive in their approach and pushed the Gunners close at the Emirates last season. However, Arsenal have looked superb in their last two matches and remain firmly in the hunt for the EPL title, so I expect them to edge an entertaining game in North London. |
| Nottm Forest vs Man CityCity haven’t lost a Premier League match in 2024 and are unbeaten in 30 games in all competitions, while Forest are struggling for points towards the bottom of the league. So, although Forest will pose a threat in transition and should have their moments at the City Ground, it’s hard to see past a comfortable away win here. |
| Tottenham v ArsenalThis is likely to be a typically helter-skelter North London derby, as Spurs look to derail their rivals’ title charge and maintain their own push for the top four. However, the Gunners have the best away record in the division and haven’t conceded on the road in six games, and I expect them to secure a crucial win here. |
| Aston Villa v ChelseaVilla are the betting favourites to defeat Chelsea this weekend, which makes sense given their home form and Chelsea’s lack of consistency. The Blues have only won twice on the road in 11 outings and have a porous defence, and it’s hard to see anything other than a Villa win in the Midlands. |
| West Ham v LiverpoolWest Ham have won just one of their last seven EPL matches and only one of their previous eight at the London Stadium. So, although Liverpool are embarked on a poor run of form that appears to have scuppered their title chances, I expect them to dominate in East London and secure three points. |
| Brighton vs Man CityCity are now unbeaten in 29 matches in all competitions and haven’t lost in 17 Premier League games, while they’re up against a Brighton team that has won only six of their previous 26 top-flight encounters. While I’m predicting a City victory on the south coast, however, the Seagulls will be competitive throughout and typically efficient in possession. |
| Man United vs SheffieldFor all of Man United’s frailties at both ends of the pitch, their gameweek 34 opponents Sheffield United are relatively toothless and have one of the worst defensive records in EPL history. So, although I expect the Blades to score at Old Trafford, it’s hard to see beyond a home win here. |
| Everton vs LiverpoolThis fixture has seen nine draws in 11 matches dating back to 2011, and Everton will undoubtedly set themselves up to be compact and hard to beat at Goodison Park. However, Liverpool are back in the groove after their weekend win at Fulham, and I expect them wear down their stubborn opponents during the 90 minutes. |
| Arsenal vs Chelsea - EPLArsenal are the heavy favourites to defeat the Blues, having kick-started their EPL title challenge with a victory over Wolves at the weekend. Although Chelsea are now unbeaten in eight top flight matches, they continue to struggle for consistency and haven’t kept a clean sheet on the road throughout the whole of 2024. |
| Fulham vs LiverpoolLiverpool’s title challenge now hangs by a threat after their defeat to Palace, but Fulham are unlikely to show much mercy at Craven Cottage. Marco Silva also has a fully fit squad to choose from and a much easier schedule to contend with, and I’m tipping Fulham to defeat an increasingly jaded and over-worked Liverpool side. |
| Aston Villa vs BournemouthVilla’s 2-0 win at the Emirates last weekend ended a run of one win in five for Unai Emery’s men, kickstarting their UCL qualification charge in the process. Bournemouth have also won just once on the road in six previous outings, so I expect the home side to prevail in an open and entertaining encounter. |
| Crystal Palace v West HamPalace are the narrow betting favourites to defeat West Ham, who have won just one of their last six EPL matches and also have the UEFA Europa League to contend with. The Eagles were also superb during their 1-0 win at Anfield last weekend, and could well make it two consecutive Premier League wins against the Hammers. |
| Wolves vs ArsenalArsenal will be desperate to bounce back after their EPL home defeat to Villa, but the distraction posed by the Champions League and the Gunners’ perceived fragility could undermine their efforts at Molineux. Wolves are also tough to beat and have been reinforced by the return of Matheus Cunha, so I’m tipping this game to end in a score draw. |
| Luton Town vs BrentfordLuton have won just one of their last 12 games in the EPL, but a victory here would provide a huge boost to their survival hopes. As for the Bees, they’ve won only one of their previous 11 matches on the road, but would probably settle for a point given their seven-point cushion on the Hatters. I’m backing them to get it too! |
| Arsenal vs Aston VillaThe Gunners are now undefeated in 11 EPL matches as they maintain their impressive title charge, while Aston Villa have won just one of their last five top-flight games. Villa will also be without the influential Douglas Luiz in midfield, so I’m tipping Arsenal to edge a highly competitive contest in North London. |
| Liverpool vs Crystal PalaceLiverpool are the heavy betting favourites to defeat Crystal Palace at Anfield, where the Reds have only lost once in their previous 57 Premier League matches. They’re also in desperate need of three points as they look to maintain their title charge, and it’s hard to see Palace derailing their challenge this weekend. |
| Bournemouth vs Man UnitedBoth of these sides have been inconsistent this season, which makes matches involving them incredibly difficult to predict. There’s also little discernible difference between Bournemouth’s home record and United’s overall performance on the road, so I think this match could well end in a score draw. |
| Man City vs Luton TownCity now haven’t lost in 26 matches in all competitions and 16 Premier League games, while no side has beaten them at the Etihad Stadium since Brentford triumphed 2-1 in November 2022. Luton will also arrive in Manchester without a total of 11 first-team players, and City should prove far too strong even if they rotate their own first 11 this weekend. |
| Newcastle vs TottenhamThis could well be an open and high scoring EPL encounter, with both Newcastle and Spurs dangerous in attack and vulnerable in the defensive third. Despite their mounting injury crisis, home advantage favours the Magpies here, while their wingers will have plenty of space to exploit in behind Spurs’ defensive line. |
| Man United vs LiverpoolLiverpool have lost just one of their previous 23 EPL matches, and while United defeated them 4-3 in the FA Cup last month, Erik ten Hag’s men continue to struggle in the Premier League. They’re certainly conceding a huge number of chances at present, and it’s hard to imagine Liverpool not taking advantage of such generosity as they pursue the EPL title. |
| Brighton vs ArsenalBrighton have only lost once at home all season, but the Seagulls have also won just six of their previous 25 EPL games since September 24th. They’ve certainly lacked a cutting edge in attack for much of the season, and although I expect them to be competitive against the Gunners, Arteta’s title chasers should have too much on the south coast. |
| Aston Villa vs BrentfordAlthough Unai Emery’s team have wavered slightly at home since their record-equalling 15-match winning run at Villa Park, they returned to winning ways against Wolves last weekend. Brentford are also on a torrid run of just three wins in their last 20 EPL matches, while the potential return of Ollie Watkins could prove key for the Villains. |
| Chelsea vs Man UnitedIt’s almost impossible to predict matches involving Chelsea and Man United, with both sides frustratingly inconsistent and vulnerable defensively. However, the Red Devils have not lost in 12 EPL matches against the Blues, and I expect them to edge a close and open match in West London. |
| Liverpool vs Sheffield UnitedLiverpool have now lost just one of their previous 56 EPL matches at Anfield, while Sheffield United have only won once on the road in the 2023/24 EPL season. So, it’s no surprise that the Reds are the overwhelming favourites to win here, with the only question surrounding the margin of victory for Jurgen Klopp’s side. |
| Man City vs Aston VillaDespite being unbeaten in 23 matches in all competitions and 39 at home since November 2022, Man City have struggled for goals and fluency of late. However, Villa will arrive in Manchester without influential midfielder John McGinn, while top scorer Ollie Watkins is a doubt with a hamstring strain. This could afford City a crucial edge in what should be a tight match! |
| Arsenal vs Luton TownWhile Arsenal are undefeated in nine EPL games in 2024, Luton have gone the same number of matches without a win since January 30th. The Hatters could also be without 13 first-team players for their visit to the Emirates, so it’s hard to see past a comfortable Gunners win in North London! |
| Brentford vs BrightonThis remains a difficult match to call, with both Brentford and Brighton in questionable form and struggling at both ends of the pitch. However, both teams are capable of creating chances and pressurising their opponents, and I expect this match to end in a tight score draw. |
| Man City vs ArsenalCity are the favourites to defeat Arsenal at the Etihad, but the pre-game odds don’t really reflect how evenly matched these sides are. However, the Citizens remain unbeaten in their previous 38 home matches in all competitions, while their big-game nous and experience means I expect them to secure a potentially pivotal win here. |
| Liverpool vs BrightonLiverpool have only lost one of their previous 55 EPL matches at Anfield, so Brighton will have the weight of recent history against them when they arrive on Merseyside. The Seagulls are not in particularly good form either, and while I expect them to score at Anfield, it’s hard to envisage them escaping with a point or more! |
| Brentford vs Man UnitedWhile the odds suggest that this could be a close and keenly contested match, the form should make Man United the clear favourites in West London. It’s certainly hard to look past a win for Erik ten Hag’s men, although the Bees will be as combative as ever and always offer a significant goal threat. |
| Aston Villa vs WolvesWhile Villa’s home form has wobbled of late, they retain a highly impressive record at Villa Park and will entertain a Wolves team that will be shorn of its best attacking players. So, although Gary O’Neil’s men will be as organised and combative as ever, I think the Villains should run out as comfortable winners this weekend. |
| Chelsea vs BurnleyChelsea have now gone four EPL matches unbeaten, which is their longest run in the whole of the 2023/24 campaign. Although Burnley have also avoided defeat in their last two Premier League matches and will arrive in West London with renewed optimism, the Blues should have too much for their relegation-threatened opponents. |
| West Ham vs Aston VillaThe Hammers have only won one of their last five home games in the Premier League, while Villa have only been defeated once on the road since November 5th. So, although this should be a tight and keenly contested game, I expect Unai Emery’s to secure a crucial three points in East London. |
| Fulham vs TottenhamThis is a deceptively tough match to call, especially given Fulham’s solid home record and Spurs’ ability to avoid defeat on the road. However, Tottenham are relentless and aggressive in their approach under Ange Postecoglou and will largely dominate possession at Craven Cottage, and I expect them to have too much for their opponents. |
| Burnley vs BrentfordWhile neither of these teams is in good form, Burnley’s need for a win is more pressing as they currently sit seven points from safety. However, they’ve won just once at home all season and haven’t triumphed at Turf Moor since December 2nd, while Brentford were competitive at Arsenal last time out and pose a threat to any side on their day. |
| Luton Town vs Nottingham ForestThis match could arguably be called a relegation six-pointer, as a win for the Hatters would move them above Nottingham Forest on goal difference. Neither team is in great form, but while the Hatters are suffering with a slew of injuries, they can call on home advantage and their indefatigable spirit against a Forest side that’s consistently poor on the road. |
| Liverpool vs Man CityThis is a seismic Premier League encounter at the top of the table, with Liverpool looking to open up a four point gap over their rivals. However, City can go top with a win and take a huge stride towards defending their EPL title, although this would require them record just their third victory at Anfield in 43 years. |
| Aston Villa vs TottenhamThis is an incredibly even matchup, and one that sees two of the Premier League’s most entertaining teams go head to head. Villa are the slight favourites given their formidable home record, but Spurs have only lost twice on the road and never know when they’re beaten under Ange Postecoglou. |
| Arsenal vs BrentfordArsenal are the huge favourites to defeat Brentford at the Emirates, having won their previous seven EPL matches by an aggregate score of 31-3. However, the Bees are always tenacious and well organised and should make life a little more difficult for the Gunners, although they’re not in the greatest form themselves. |
| Man City vs Man UnitedCity are overwhelming favourites to beat an inconsistent Man United side, who were awful in and out of possession against Fulham at the weekend. The same level of performance at the Etihad will lead to an even heavier defeat than the one endured against the Cottagers, while the Red Devils could be without eight first team players for the short trip across the city. |
| Newcastle vs WolvesWhile Newcastle are slight favourites to beat Wolves at St. James Park, Gary O’Neil’s men are unbeaten in four on the road and pose a significant threat in transition. The Magpies are also struggling defensively and have done so since the beginning of December, so Wolves may have a better chance of winning here than their implied probability suggests! |
| Tottenham vs Crystal PalaceSpurs are always a good watch under Ange Postecoglou, while for the first time, Oliver Glasner will take charge of Palace at Selhurst Park. This should be another open and entertaining game, but can Palace spring a surprise here or will Spurs deliver on their status as favourites? |
| Nottingham Forest vs LiverpoolWhile Forest are the betting underdogs here, Liverpool’s mounting injury crisis could provide a glimmer of hope for the East Midlands strugglers. However, the Reds have huge momentum after their Carabao Cup win and continue to grind out results, while they may also be boosted by the return of Mo Salah against Forest. |
| Brentford vs ChelseaChelsea will be keen to bounce back from their EFL Cup final defeat, but Brentford are in desperate need of points after a run of 12 defeats in 16 Premier League matches. Both sides have been profligate in attack and error-strewn in defence this season, but the Bees will be hoping that home advantage gives them an edge against their local rivals! |
| Arsenal v NewcastleNewcastle face a daunting trip to the Emirates this weekend, to face an Arsenal side that has scored 21 goals in their previous five matches. The Magpies have also shipped 20 goals in their last eight Premier League games, and while they always retain a goal threat, they may struggle to keep the free-scoring Gunners at bay. |
| Man United vs FulhamFulham head to Old Trafford with one of the worst away records in the 2023/24 Premier League, while they’ll face a Man United side that has now won four successive EPL matches. So, the Red Devils are fully justified as the pre-game favourites, especially with striker Rasmus Højlund on a hot streak of form. |
| Brighton vs EvertonNeither of these teams are in tip-top form, with Brighton having won just five of their previous 19 league games and Everton winless in eight. However, the Seagulls appear to be turning the corner and have rediscovered their shooting boots of late, while Everton will struggle to gain possession and carve out chances at the AMEX Stadium. |
| Crystal Palace vs BurnleyBoth of these sides are struggling at the wrong end of the table, but Palace are five points clear of the relegation zone and will welcome Oliver Glasner into the dugout for the first time at the weekend. As for Burnley, they’re seven points adrift from safety and will see this as a must-win game if they’re to successfully fight relegation this season. |
| Liverpool vs Luton TownLuton have improved immensely as the EPL season has progressed, while the Hatters remain one of the most tenacious and well organised sides in the division. However, they’ll have their work cut out to get anything at Anfield, where league leaders Liverpool remain unbeaten in 24 matches since October 2022. |
| Manchester City v ChelseaManchester City are going to welcome Chelsea to the Ethihad on Saturday evening, and this is who I think will go on and win: |
| Burnley vs ArsenalThe Gunners are deserved favourites to win at Turf Moor, especially with Burnley struggling in the attacking and defensive thirds. So, although Vincent Kompany’s men have scored in their last five games and I expect them to register again in front of their home fans, Arsenal are in confident mood and will have too much firepower for their opponents. |
| Brentford v LiverpoolBrentford entertain Liverpool in Saturday’s lunchtime kick-off, with the Reds looking to maintain their slender lead at the top of the EPL table. They’re the clear favourites to win here too, but Brentford retain a significant attacking threat and now have Ivan Toney back in their ranks after his extended layoff. |
| Aston Villa v Man UnitedThis has the potential to be a hugely entertaining game, especially as the last five meetings between Villa and Man United have produced 20 goals. United have won three of these matches, however, while their front three are in exceptional form and could well put the Midlands side to the sword again. |
| West Ham v ArsenalWest Ham are winless in four EPL games, while Arsenal have won their previous three league matches (scoring 10 goals in the process). So, the Gunners are heavy favourites here, but will they deliver on this status in East London? |
| Tottenham v BrightonTottenham Hotspur picked up 8 wins and 2 draws from their opening 10 of the current Premier League campaign as Ange Postecoglu seemed to have rejuvenated Spurs back into title contenders as they were for most seasons under Mauricio Pochettino. The Lilywhites as the favourites, but which team do I think will win this reverse encounter at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium? |
| Liverpool v BurnleyThis has the potential to be a real mismatch, with Liverpool unbeaten in the their last 23 matches Anfield and Burnley having won just three EPL games all season. The Clarets also have a porous defence and tend to take the game to their opponents, and while this may be admirable, it could lead to a heavy win for the Reds. |
| Man City v EvertonRead my detailed Man City vs Everton prediction including betting tips, correct score prediction, and predicted lineups. |
| Brentford v Manchester CityBrentford have lost eight of their last 10 EPL games, while conceding 14 goals in their previous five. They therefore won’t be relishing the chance to play a rejuvenated City side, who have won six successive games in all competitions and recently welcome back Kevin De Bruyne and Erling Haaland. So, Guardiola’s men will be clear favourites here. |
| Man United vs BrightonNot enough absences for Erik ten Hag yet. Luke Shaw, Raphael Varane and Lisandro Martínez are now reportedly also struggling with injuries. It remains intriguing whether they will be able to start for Man United in the Premier League on Saturday ... |
| Tottenham v LiverpoolA true Premier League highlight is in store for us on Saturday. With both teams still unbeaten this season, we can expect a heated and hard-fought match at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Here's my prediction on who will win! |
| Chelsea v ArsenalLondon rivals Chelsea and Arsenal will do battle on Saturday, 21st October at Stamford Bridge in an enthralling early evening contest. In this guide, I’ll take a closer look at the latest Chelsea vs Arsenal betting markets and odds, while offering my own prediction about which side will prevail in the West End! |
| Tottenham vs FulhamSpurs have made an incredible and unexpected start to the 2023/24 season, with new manager Ange Postecoglou guiding them to the top of the Premier League despite the loss of talismanic striker Harry Kane in the summer. Opponents Fulham compiled the sixth-best away record in the EPL last season. Read on to find out more and see my own prediction about the final outcome. |
| Chelsea vs BrentfordThis is a relatively close EPL game, with Brentford unbeaten in their last three games against Chelsea. However, the Blues are now unbeaten in three Premier League games while the Bees have won just one of their last seven matches, but can Thomas Frank’s men reverse this poor run of form at Stamford Bridge? |
| Arsenal vs Sheffield UnitedArsenal are huge favourites to beat Sheffield United at the Emirates Stadium, while it’s hard to make a case for the Blades even scoring in North London. However, they did push Spurs close in the capital in a heart breaking 2-1 defeat on September 16th and will be hoping to showcase similar spirit and competitiveness here. If they do, who knows what’s possible? |
| Liverpool vs Nottm ForestLiverpool are the overwhelming favourites to defeat Nottingham Forest at Anfield, while the stats also suggest that we could see a number of goals in this clash. But will the Reds extend their stellar run of home form in the Premier League, or can Forest earn their first victory at Anfield in more than 53 years? |
| Fulham vs Man UnitedThis is a match between two inconsistent sides, who continue to experience issues both in defence and attack. But will United’s superior individual quality tell at Craven Cottage, or can Fulham raise their game in front of their home fans and record their first win in 17 attempts against the Red Devils? |
| Luton vs LiverpoolThis may appear to be something of a mismatch, with the two sides separated by 13 places and 18 points in the Premier League table. But will Liverpool deliver on their status as favourites to win at Kenilworth Road, or can Luton upset the odds and achieve just their second win of the 2023/24 EPL campaign? Let’s find out! |
| Man City vs BournemouthWhile most EPL games are close and keenly contested, this is one match that may buck this trend. After all, City have won 14 successive EPL home matches since a 1-1 draw with Everton on December 31st, while Bournemouth have won just one of their last 14 top-flight encounters and haven’t triumphed on the road since April 27th. But what are the most likely outcomes at the Etihad Stadium? |
| Newcastle vs ArsenalArsenal are the narrow favourites to win at St. James Park, despite the Magpies having only lost two of their last 13 league games at home. Regardless, of the result, this is sure to be a close and keenly contested game, and one that should see plenty of aggression and goal threat from both sides! |
| Tottenham v ChelseaWhile this “big-six” game sees Chelsea struggling in the bottom half of the table, they’ve performed better than their results suggest and reserved their best showings for matches against sides like Liverpool and Arsenal. But can they win at the home of the league leaders, or will Spurs continue their fairytale start to the 2023/24 season? |
| Manchester United v Luton TownOn paper, this should be an easy win for Manchester United, but the Red Devils have already lost three times at home in the EPL this season and five times in 11 top-flight matches overall. Still, they remain justified favourites here, but can Luton build on their superb draw with Liverpool to claim their first ever win at Old Trafford? |
| Bournemouth v NewcastleWhile Newcastle remain odds-on favourites to beat Bournemouth, the pricing doesn’t seem to consider Newcastle’s heavy schedule and mounting injury woes. But can the Cherries capitalise on this to record just their second EPL win of the season, or will the Magpies’ patched up team rise to the occasion on the south coast? |
| Arsenal v BurnleyThe Gunners are justifiable favourites to beat Burnley, who are finding points, goals and clean sheets hard to come by in the Premier League. But will Arsenal rebound from their EPL defeat to Newcastle last time out, or can Burnley capitalise on Arsenal’s hectic Champions League schedule and spring a surprise? |
| Chelsea v Man CityThis is Chelsea’s second big six game in succession and fourth of the Premier League season, while they’ve already drawn with Arsenal and Liverpool before beating Spurs. But can they continue this run against City, or will Pep Guardiola’s in form side cement their position at the top of the EPL table? |
| Liverpool v BrentfordThis is sure to be a tough and keenly contested game, with Brentford on a three-game winning streak and Liverpool having lost just once in their last 22 EPL matches. But will home advantage prove key for the Reds, or can an energetic and organised Brentford team capitalise on Liverpool’s Thursday night trip to Toulouse and any subsequent signs of fatigue? |
| Man City v LiverpoolAfter their 4-4 draw at Chelsea before the international break, Man City face another titanic big six clash against Liverpool. Their pedigree and home form makes them the clear favourites here, but Liverpool will push them hard and retain an incredible attacking threat! |
| Brentford v ArsenalWhile the Gunners will kick off in West London as the favourites to overcome Brentford, the Bees remain incredibly competitive and tough to beat at home. So, although Arsenal have only lost once in 12 EPL matches this season so far, I’m tipping Brentford to edge a close game here! |
| Newcastle United vs ChelseaNewcastle could be without as many as 10 first team players for the visit of Chelsea, leaving them short of both options and firepower. This will make an already tough challenge even harder against an in-form Blues side, and Mauricio Pochettino’s men are well placed to record another much-needed win at St James Park. |
| Tottenham v Aston VillaThis could be a thrilling Premier League game, with an exciting Spurs side having lost twice on the bounce and Aston Villa far less formidable away from Villa Park. Both teams are full of goals too, so this is likely to be an end-to-end encounter that may ultimately end in a high-scoring draw! |
| Manchester City v TottenhamCity have now drawn two successive EPL games, and they’ll be keen to get back to winning ways and continue an unbeaten home run that stretches back to November 2022. As for injury-hit Spurs, they’ve lost their last three games and tumbled from first to fifth, while Postecoglou’s uncompromising and aggressive style may prove his undoing at the Etihad. |
| Arsenal v WolverhamptonArsenal are the clear favourites to defeat Wolves at the Emirates Stadium, but the Gunners can be defensively vulnerable at home while Gary O’Neil’s side have scored in 10 consecutive Premier League matches. While I expect an open game in which both sides score, however, it’s hard to look beyond another home win for the Gunners. |
| Liverpool v FulhamLiverpool have won all six EPL games at Anfield this season (and nine in all competitions in front of their own fans), while they’ve scored in every single home match and boast the best attacking stats in the league. So, it’s hard to bet against them when they play an underwhelming Fulham side, which has just one win in seven outings on the road so far this term. |
| Chelsea v Brighton & Hove AlbionThis is an intriguing clash between two out-of-form sides, with Chelsea having won one of their last five games and Brighton having prevailing just once in their previous seven EPL outings. Both teams are also being impacted by injuries and suspension, so this match could well end in a roller-coaster, high-scoring draw! |
| Aston Villa v Man CityVilla will take on City arguably in better form than their rivals, who have failed to win for three successive games and will be without the suspended duo of Rodri and Jack Grealish. While Villa are also on a run of 13 successive home wins, however, Guardiola’s team will be determined to get back to winning ways and boast an excellent record against the Midlands side. |
| Manchester United v ChelseaThis is a contest between two of the Premier League’s most inconsistent sides, while both have endured disappointing defeats at Newcastle in recent weeks. While United will be looking to fight back after their own loss in the northeast, Chelsea look a little more cohesive and organised at present, and I think they may edge an open game at Old Trafford. |
| Aston Villa v ArsenalThe Villains winning home run is something to behold, while their dominant 1-0 win over Man City in midweek has set up this EPL clash perfectly. However, the Gunners have been able to grind out results without playing well and have the best away record in the Premier League, so this match could well end in a keenly contested draw! |
| Liverpool v Man UnitedLiverpool have won all seven Premier League home games this season (and all 11 in all competitions), while United will arrive at Anfield having already lost seven top flight matches in 2023/24. They also remain open in midfield and porous in defence, and it’s hard to see them keeping an offensively excellent Liverpool side at bay here. |
| Arsenal v BrightonBrighton thumped Arsenal 3-0 at the Emirates in May, but they’re on a poor run of form that has seen them win just two of their last 10 EPL games. The Gunners are also unbeaten at home this season and since their defeat against the Seagulls at the end of the 2022/23 campaign, so they’ll deservedly start as the clear favourites to win here. |
| Nottingham Forest v TottenhamSpurs will head to the East Midlands having thumped Newcastle 4-1 last time out, ending a five match winless streak. As for Forest, they’ve won just one of their last 10 Premier League games, while the absence of top scorer Taiwo Awoniyi through injury is a huge blow for Steve Cooper’s men. So, it’s hard to see past a Spurs win here! |
| Brentford v Aston VillaBrentford will entertain Villa without top scorer Bryan Mbeumo, who has succumbed to an ankle injury that will leave the Bees short of attacking options. They’re also out of form, while Villa will arrive in West London having lost just one of their last 10 leagues. So, they’ll fancy the chances of winning again against Thomas Frank’s men! |
| Man City v Crystal PalaceNot only are City undefeated in their last 28 home games in all competitions, but they’ll entertain an injury-hit Palace side that has won just two of their last 10 league matches. It’s certainly hard to look past a win for the Citizens here, and the only real question should be the eventual margin of victory. |
| Matchday 18 TipsGameweek 18 of the 2023/24 Premier League will take place over the course of four days, between Thursday, 21st December and Christmas Eve. Which teams will enjoy a successful start to the festive period? |
| |
| Man United v TottenhamAlthough Spurs have won four of their last five EPL games, they remain vulnerable defensively, while they’ll be without 11 players when they visit Old Trafford. As for Man United, they’re getting many of their injured players back, while Marcus Rashford and the in-form Alejandro Garnacho will relish the space in behind Tottenham’s high defensive line. |
| Newcastle vs Manchester CityNewcastle have lost five of their last six Premier League games, while conceding 15 goals during this run. As for Man City, they appear to have hit some form after winning the FIFA Club World Cup, while the return of Kevin De Bruyne and Erling Haaland from injury could make life hard for the struggling and injury-hit Magpies. |
| Everton v Aston VillaEverton have lost three consecutive EPL matches, while they’ve only taken 10 points from 10 games at Goodison Park since the beginning of the season. While Villa are inconsistent away from home, they have an outstanding record at Goodison Park, while their firepower should be too much for the Toffees to withstand over the 90 minutes. |
| Bournemouth v LiverpoolThese two teams top the Premier League form table over the last 10 games, having taken 22 points from the 30 available to them during this time. However, Liverpool have only been beaten once in their last 31 league outings, and despite Bournemouth’s obvious threat, I expect the Reds to find a way to win here. |
| Aston Villa - BrightonWe could be in for a lot of goals at Villa Park as both teams are regularly producing attacking fireworks this season. |
| Man United vs Man CityUnsurprisingly, Man City are the clear ante post favourites to beat United at Old Trafford this weekend, but neither side is in top form ahead of the Manchester derby. But will the Citizens deliver on their status as favourites or can United extend their three-game winning run and close the gap on City to just three points? |
| |
| Newcastle v Manchester UnitedThis is always an intense and physical game, with Newcastle particularly well organised and robust at home. However, Manchester United are the EPL’s form side and have kept three consecutive clean sheets in the competition, and a fiercely contested draw appears to be the most likely outcome at St James Park. |
| Arsenal vs Crystal PalaceNeither of these sides is in good form, with Arsenal having won one in five EPL matches and Palace having triumphed only once in their previous nine outings. Ultimately, this could be a tense and scrappy encounter in which both teams score, but I’m backing Arsenal’s superior quality to drag them over the line. |
| Arsenal v LiverpoolThese two sides played an incredibly intense match at Anfield last December (which ended in a 1-1 draw), but Liverpool won superbly at the Emirates in the FA Cup barely two weeks later. They have the recent edge in this fixture too, while the potential return of Trent Alexander-Arnold and Andy Robertson will provide a significant boost. |
| Man U v West HamDespite being in much better form of late, West Ham are the betting underdogs to win at Old Trafford at the weekend. This has much to do with their poor record away at Manchester United, while the Red Devils have shown flashes of quality and welcomed some key players back from injury during the last two weeks. |
| Brighton v Crystal PalaceNeither of these teams is in great form, but Palace are in genuine freefall having won just two of their last 16 matches in all competitions. As for Brighton, they’ve only been beaten once in 11 home matches this season, and while four of the last five matches between these two sides have ended in 1-1 draws, I’m backing a narrow win for the hosts here. |
| Everton v TottenhamSpurs are second in the EPL form table over the last six matches, while Everton are now winless in five after a goalless draw at Fulham in midweek. I also expect Spurs to dominate possession and territory at Goodison Park, and while the Toffees will threaten on the break, I’m backing a win for the away side here. |
