Premier League Predictions & Tips

Crystal Palace v Liverpool - Saturday, 12.30pm

Crystal Palace and Liverpool get this weekends Premier League action underway at Selhurst Park on Saturday afternoon. 

This is definitely not the start that Crystal Palace had in mind, Oliver Glasner got his managerial career in the Premier League off to a flyer last season, losing just three of his thirteen games in charge. The Austrian also ended the season winning six of his last seven games including wins against Liverpool, Manchester United and Aston Villa, which left the Palace faithful very optimistic heading in this season. Unfortunately for them, any chance of challenging for European football looks a long way off, a defeat to Everton on Saturday has moved the Eagles into the bottom three having not won a league game so far, a worrying start.

A slight hiccup for Arne Slot’s side against Nottingham Forest has all been forgotten as the Reds sit at the summit of the Premier League following their 2-1 victory away to Wolves on Saturday night, that’s now four consecutive victories for Liverpool prior to their UCL game against Bologna on Wednesday. Liverpool have lost just one Premier League in their last ten on the road which came at Goodison Park back in April, they’ll be confident of another victory in this one given their record at Selhurst Park. 

Liverpool tend to enjoy a day in South London, they’re unbeaten in their last ten visits to Selhurst Park, with wins in nine of them, I’m expecting them to extend that record on Saturday.

Arsenal v Southampton - Saturday, 3pm

Arsenal will play their fourth consecutive game at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday as they welcome Southampton in the Premier League. 

Mikel Arteta’s side will face one of the Premier League new boys for the second consecutive week following their meeting with Leicester City on Saturday, The Gunners looked in total control at the break before a double from Foxes defender James Justin gave them a real scare, it took two late goals in the dying embers to secure all three points with a 4-2 victory. Arsenal have lost just three home Premier Leage games in their last twenty-three matches.

Southampton have struggled with their return to the English top-flight, the Saints sit nineteenth having taken just one point from their first six games, scoring just three goals. Russell Martin said he was hurt and his side were soft in their 3-1 defeat to Bournemouth on Monday night, Southampton found themselves 3-0 down at the break, Taylor Harwood-Bellis’ diving header on 51 minutes gave them a little bit of hope but Bournemouth held out to put more misery on their south coast rivals. 

Quite surprisingly, Arsenal haven’t beaten Southampton in their last three attempts, the last meeting here back in April 2023 ended in a 3-3 thriller with Arsenal scoring two late goals, I’ve got to agree with betting market on this one and go with a comfortable win for the Gunners.

Leicester City v Bournemouth - Saturday, 3pm

Leicester City continue their hunt for their first Premier League win of the season when they welcome Bournemouth to the King Power Stadium on Saturday afternoon. 

The Foxes have had a frustrating start to the Premier League, they nearly defied the betting odds in their last outing away to Arsenal but once again found themselves conceding late one, they left North London with nothing to show for their efforts. Steve Cooper’s side have drawn three of their first six league games so far, whilst they were also held to a goalless draw in the cup against Walsall. Despite it being early, these next four league games could play a massive part in Leicester City’s season, with the likes of Southampton, Nottingham Forest and Ipswich Town all to come after this one.

Bournemouth had suffered back-to-back defeats in the Premier League prior to their game on Monday night against Southampton, the Cherries dominated the first half and made it pay, they converted three of their chances to go into the break with a comfortable lead, with Evanilson also getting off the mark with his first Bournemouth goal. The game ended 3-1 which moved Andoni Iraola’s side up to eleventh after their first six games.

I’ve got a feeling we could be in for another draw here, three of the last six meetings between these two at the King Power have ended in a stalemate, whilst both sides have found the back of the net in five of their last eight meetings. 

Everton v Newcastle United - Saturday, 5.30pm

Saturday night football from the Premier League comes from Goodison Park, as Everton welcome Newcastle United to Merseyside. 

Everton finally got their first league win of the season on Saturday at the sixth time of asking, the Toffees found themselves 1-0 down at home to Crystal Palace after just ten minutes. However, Sean Dyche’s side completed the turnaround after two goals from Dwight McNeil just seven minutes apart from one another. The victory moved the Blues out of the bottom three and up to sixteenth, a week which has restored a bit of hope for Everton Football Club both on and off the pitch with positive news regarding their potential takeover.

Newcastle United must have feared the worst when seeing Alexander Isak didn’t make the squad for their game against Manchester City on Saturday. However, Eddie Howe’s side came out fighting in the second half and got their equaliser from the penalty spot, with Anthony Gordon scoring his second league goal of the season, a solid point for the Magpies ahead of this tricky trip to Goodison Park. 

It’s a tough one to call this but I think we’re definitely in for a game full of goals, Everton have seen both teams score in their last five games whilst the same has occurred in Newcastle’s last six games across all competitions. 

Aston Villa v Manchester United - Sunday, 2pm

There could be a lot riding on this for the visitors on Sunday afternoon as Manchester United travel to the West Midlands to face Aston Villa at Villa Park. 

At the time of writing (prior to Villa’s UCL game against Bayern Munich), Aston Villa are now unbeaten in their last six games across all competitions since their 2-0 defeat here to Arsenal back in August. Unai Emery’s side will have the chance to make it three from three at home in the League and could find themselves back in the top four if other results go in their favour over the weekend. However, despite their visitors recent troubles, the Villans won’t take this one lightly given they’ve only beaten United once at home in their last twenty-six competitive attempts.

There’s a lot of talk around Manchester United once again following their recent performance and defeat to Tottenham Hotspur. At the time of writing, the Red Devils have still got to travel to Porto on Thursday night and depending what happens in that one, the pressure could really be on Erik ten Hag by the time Sunday afternoon arrives. Man United will know their away record simply hasn’t been good enough in the Premier League, winning just two of their last nine games.

It’s a complicated game this one, both sides will be coming into this off their European adventures, Aston Villa edge it as favourites in the betting market but given Man United’s record at this place, I don’t think it’ll be that easy for them. We can expect both teams to find the back of the net, it’s occurred in their last four meetings at Villa Park and five of their last six meetings in general.

Chelsea v Nottingham Forest - Sunday, 2pm

Nottingham Forest will travel to West London on Sunday afternoon to face Chelsea in the Premier League at Stamford Bridge. 

Chelsea really looked to have clicked now under Enzo Maresca, his side are unbeaten in five of their last six Premier League games, with victories coming in their last three. The Blues had to come from behind at home to Brighton on Saturday as the Seagulls took the lead after just seven minutes, Cole Palmer stole the show though with the Englishman helping himself to four goals in a crazy first half of Premier League football. Palmer won’t be in the Chelsea squad for their Europa Conference League campaign this season, meaning he’ll get a well-earned rest on Thursday night ahead of this one.

Nottingham Forest couldn’t make the most of their good momentum on Saturday afternoon, the Tricky Trees added to their historic victory at Anfield with a 2-2 draw away to Brighton but faced Fulham at the City Ground last weekend and came away with nothing, the Reds had to do it without arguably their best player in Morgan Gibbs-White who was serving a suspension at the told, with Nuno Espirito Santo’s side managing just one shot on target.

I like the look of Chelsea in this one, they’re in really good form at the moment and they’ve scored twelve goals in their last three games (Prior to their game on Thursday), Forest did win here last season but hadn’t won here before that since 1995, home win in this one.

Brighton & Hove Albion v Tottenham Hotspur - Sunday, 4.30pm 

The Premier League offers us a mouth-watering encounter before wrapping up ahead of another international break, with Brighton & Hove Albion playing hosts to Tottenham Hotspur. 

Fabian Hurzeler’s unbeaten run as the Brighton manager came to an end in their last outing against Chelsea, the Seagulls took an early lead through Georginio Rutter’s first goal for the club but found themselves at the end of a Cole Palmer masterclass which ultimately inflicted defeat upon Hurzeler and co. They’ll be a slight concern from the Albion faithful in regards to their recent defending, having conceded at least two goals in their last three games across all competitions.

Tottenham Hotspur come into this fixture with two consecutive wins in the Premier League, their latest coming at Old Trafford where they put in a real performance and left Manchester with three goals and three points. Ange Postecoglou faced many questions regarding his future after just one win in their first four games this season, but football is a funny old game and as Spurs look to continue their recent good form, those questions will be stored away, I’m sure. 

I think we can expect goals in this one, the last three meetings between these two sides have produced at least three goals. The two clubs have met seventeen times before in competitive fixtures, we’ve only had one stalemate.
