Premier League Predictions & Tips
Everton v Liverpool - Saturday, 12.30pm
Full Time Result - Draw
The 245th edition of the Merseyside derby will take place on Saturday afternoon, as Liverpool make the very short trip across Stanley Park to face their neighbours Everton at Goodison Park for the final time. – Check out our Premier League odds.
Everton would love to win the last ever Merseyside derby at Goodison Park ahead of the move into their new stadium next season. The Toffees picked up just their third win of the season on Wednesday night, the visit of Wolves was such an important game given how the two sides have started the campaign, Sean Dyche’s side have been poor in front of goal having found the net in just 50% of their league games, so to see the Blues score four on Wednesday was a big surprise to everyone, albeit Wolves helped out with two own-goals. There’s hope for Everton ahead of this one, they’re now unbeaten in their last five home games, a win could potentially move them eight points clear of the drop.
Having swept aside Manchester City last weekend, Liverpool faced a tricky trip to Newcastle on Wednesday evening. They produced a really entertaining game which seen both teams take the lead and Mo Salah must have thought he had won it for the reds until Fabian Schar’s last-minute equaliser confirmed a 3-3 draw in a thriller. Arne Slot’s side have had their lead reduced to seven points now after all three of their title challengers won on Wednesday night. The Reds are now unbeaten in their last seventeen games across all competitions, whilst they also remain unbeaten in their first seven away league games so far.
I’m going against the odds in this one and I’ll back the draw, Everton have won just one of their last twelve here against Liverpool, but the Reds have won just two in that time, meaning the remaining nine have all ended in a stalemate. Here you can find all our latest football predictions.
Anytime Goalscorer - Salah, M
Mo Salah has now scored an incredible nine goals in his last seven Premier League games, he’s also now matched his personal record of scoring in seven consecutive PL games, as he looks to chase down Jamie Vardy’s record of eleven.
Brentford v Newcastle United - Saturday, 3pm
Match Result and Both Teams To Score - Newcastle United and Yes
Newcastle will make the long trip south on Saturday afternoon as they take on Brentford in this Premier League clash. – Check out our latest Premier League odds.
Brentford’s three game unbeaten run came to an end on Wednesday evening, the Bees have picked up just one point from their seven games on the road in the Premier League having lost six, a trip to Aston Villa wasn’t going to be easy and they suffered a 3-1 defeat with the game done before half-time in all honesty. By contrast, Thomas Frank’s side seem to be a totally different team on home soil, they’ve got the best home record in the league with nineteen points from a possible twenty-one, a record which has taken the Bees into the top half ahead of this one.
Despite being winless in their last three games, Newcastle can take a lot of positives from their 3-3 draw with Liverpool on Wednesday evening, having taken the lead twice only to be trailing with just seven minutes left to play, the Magpies didn’t give up and were rewarded with a point when Fabian Schar equalised on the ninety-minute mark. Eddie Howe’s side have struggled on the road in recent times, they’ve won just one of their last five away games in the league. However, the Magpies will take some confidence knowing they’ve won the last three meetings between these two sides in West London.
We’re in for goals in this one, Brentford have seen all of their seven home games produce both teams to score, with Newcastle producing the same in all but one (86%) of their away games so far, whilst the Toon have also won all of their last five meetings. Here you can find all our latest football predictions.
To Finish In Top 6 - Newcastle United
Newcastle will be hoping to secure another European tour for next season having missed out narrowly last season.
Crystal Palace v Manchester City - Saturday, 3pm
Correct Score - 1:2
Selhurst Park awaits as Crystal Palace welcome Manchester City in this Premier League clash on Saturday afternoon.
Crystal Palace picked up just their second victory of the season on Tuesday night and it was a vital one, a 1-0 victory away at Ipswich Town has given the Eagles a three-point cushion to the bottom three as they look to move up the table under Oliver Glasner. However, doing that might have to be halted just a little unless they beat Manchester City at home for the first time since 2015, having failed in their previous ten attempts across all competitions.
Manchester City finally stopped the rot on Wednesday night, they had previously gone seven games without a win in all competitions before the visit of Nottingham Forest, Pep Guardiola’s side stuck three past Forest without reply, although there were still some worrying signs from the City defence. After that victory, they now sit fourth in the Premier League and nine points behind league leaders Liverpool following their slip-up at Newcastle, it’s just a little warning to us all that we’re still in the early stages of this Premier League campaign and there’s going to be lots of twists from now until May.
The shaky Man City defence should be a confidence booster to Palace but on the flip side, City have won five of their last six visits to Selhurst Park, I’m backing a narrow win for Pep and co.
Outright Winner - Manchester City
There are still twenty-four games left to play in the Premier League, that’s a lot of football and City will be hoping to avoid any further slip-ups and look to get themselves back into contention.
Manchester United v Nottingham Forest - Saturday, 5.30pm
Match Result and Both Teams To Score - Manchester United and Yes
Saturday night football from the Premier League comes from Old Trafford, as Manchester United take on Nottingham Forest. – Check out our Premier League odds.
Manchester United fell to their first defeat under new boss Ruben Amorim on Wednesday night, I said in this blog last week that their trip to Arsenal will be too early for Amorim’s side and that’s what it felt like all game. The Red Devils played well defensively in the first half but they lacked ideas and bodies in the final third when they got into those situations, you never really thought they’d get on the scoresheet. In the end, they were undone by two Arsenal corners which plenty of teams have struggled to defend already this season, Amorim admitted his side have to be better when defending those set-pieces. It’s back to familiar surroundings for United though as they look for another three points that would take them above Saturday night’s opponents.
Nottingham Forest return to Manchester just three days after their visit across the city, the Tricky Trees suffered a 3-0 defeat to Man City but remain sixth in the Premier League after their brilliant start to the campaign. However, recent head-to-head stats suggest that the Tricky Trees could be in for another tough game in Manchester, they’ve not won at Old Trafford since 1994, they’ll be hoping to defy the odds though and pick up just their second win in their last five games.
Manchester United have a good record against Nottingham Forest, they’ve won twelve of their last thirteen meetings across all competitions, Amorim’s side should bounce back here with all three points. Here you can find all our latest football tips.
Correct Score - 3:1
Manchester United are still getting used to this formation and can be left a little venerable at the back at certain times, Forest will be looking to exploit that and get themselves on the scoresheet at some point.
Fulham v Arsenal - Sunday, 2pm
Correct Score - 1:3
The first of two London Derbies on Sunday in the Premier League, as Arsenal travel to West London to face Fulham at Craven Cottage. – Check out our latest Premier League odds.
It’s been a good week for Fulham, taking a point away at Spurs last weekend was followed up with a 3-1 victory on home soil against Brighton on Thursday night, the victory moved the Cottagers into fifth after their first fourteen Premier League games of the campaign. However, there tends to be a theme with Marco Silva’s side this season, whenever they win a home game, they drop points in their next home game, with the visit of Arsenal in this one, we could see the same thing occur.
Arsenal come into this game on Sunday off the back of a 2-0 victory over Manchester United on Wednesday evening, the Gunners struggled in the first half against an organised United defence but came out in the second half really on the front foot. Mikel Arteta’s side ultimately secured victory via two set-pieces, something they’ve been so effective with this season yet teams can’t defend them, its remarkable. Two of their fellow title contenders would have played by the time Arsenal kick off on Sunday, meaning the pressure will be on the Gunners to deliver and extend their unbeaten run to six games across all competitions.
Both teams have found the back of the net in eleven of Fulham’s fourteen Premier League games so far but have a 100% BTTS record on home soil with 7/7. Arsenal are on the hunt for their third consecutive away victory, they’ve won five of the last six meetings in West London, scoring at least three goals in four of them. Here you can find all our latest football predictions.
Outright Winner - Arsenal
Arsenal remain part of the chasing pack in terms of the Premier League title, could Mikel Arteta’s side defy the odds and claim the title in May.
Tottenham Hotspur v Chelsea - Sunday, 4.30pm
Match Result and Both Teams To Score - Chelsea and Yes
The second part of the London Derby double-header comes from North London, as Tottenham welcome Chelsea in this Premier League battle. – Check out our latest Premier League odds.
Tottenham and Ange Postecoglou are under a bit of pressure at the moment, despite their 4-0 thumping of Man City, that’s the only win for Spurs in their last six outings across all competitions. The Lilywhites travelled to Bournemouth on Thursday night and put in an uninspiring performance which produced a 1-0 defeat, the full-time whistle was followed by boos from those travelling away fans and continued towards Postecoglou as the applauded them for their support. I personally think it's a little harsh, I can understand the frustration given how inconsistent Spurs have been but they remain just six points off the top four in a challenging season for everybody so far, it’ll be interesting to see the mood in North London on Sunday evening.
Chelsea will be loving the fact they are going under the radar a little in terms of being classed as title contenders, the Blues are second in the league before this weekends action kicks off and are unbeaten in their last seven games across all competitions, with four victories in their last four including their 5-1 victory away to Southampton in their last outing. Enzo Maresca will be aware of Chelsea’s recent record here, having lost just one of their last seven trips, whilst winning four of the last five, it’s set up for a very intriguing ninety-minutes.
I’m going to back an away victory in this one, the negativity surrounding Spurs won’t help them whilst Chelsea are flying right now & have a impressive record in this fixture. Here you can find all our football predictions.
To Finish In Top 4 - Chelsea
Could Chelsea really be title contenders? Either way, they’ll be thinking a top four finish is more than achievable given how they’ve started so far.
