Premier League Predictions & Tips
Leicester City v Chelsea - Saturday, 12.30pm
Correct Score - 1:3
After three away games on the bounce, Leicester City return to the King Power Stadium on Saturday to face Chelsea in the Premier League. – Check out our Premier League odds.
The international break probably came at the right time for Steve Cooper and Leicester with the Foxes winless in their last four games across all competitions, facing defeat in three of those. Following back-to-back victories in October, Leicester City had given themselves a bit of breathing space from those relegation places but now find themselves just three points above the relegation zone prior to the visit of Chelsea, I’m sure the foxes will just be looking to avoid defeat in this one.
Enzo Maresca will return to Leicester and it’ll be interesting to see the reaction he gets from those fans that used to sing his name on a weekend, it should be a good one given the Italian secured promotion with the Foxes. Of course, he’ll be hoping it’s a successful visit as his Chelsea side look to continue their progression this season with an aim to finish in the top four, something they’ve started strongly with as the Blues occupy third in the Premier League ahead of this fixture. They have played out two stalemates in their last two league outings, although both games were tough on paper, a trip to Old Trafford before a visit from Arsenal, it’s been a solid start for the Blues.
Chelsea have enjoyed their last two visits to this ground, scoring three on both occasions and taking home three points, I think we could see the Blues with another victory in this one. Here you can find all our latest football predictions.
To Finish In Top 4 - Chelsea
Chelsea have impressed this season and will be hoping to finish in the top four in Enzo Maresca’s first year in charge.
Arsenal v Nottingham Forest - Saturday, 3pm
Correct Score - 2:1
Arsenal will be looking forward to return to the Emirates on Saturday, they welcome Nottingham Forest after playing four games in a row on the road. – Check out our latest Premier League odds.
Mikel Arteta will feel like the international break came at the right time for his side, the Gunners have now gone three games without a victory, two defeats against Newcastle and Inter Milan was followed up with a 1-1 draw in a London derby against Chelsea. Mikel Arteta’s side will be glad to be back on home soil, they’ve lost just one of their last nineteen games here across all competitions and will be relying on their home faithful to get their season back on track. It’s not over for Arsenal but they are definitely up against it in terms of their title chances, with eleven games played they are now nine points behind the leaders Liverpool and four behind Manchester City.
Nottingham Forest head into their trip to North London on Saturday afternoon on level points with their opponents, the Tricky Trees find themselves in fifth place after the first eleven games, not something that many had predicted. Nuno Espirito Santo’s side have had nearly two-weeks to reflect on their disappointing 3-1 defeat against Newcastle in their last outing, it’s a big ask for the Reds in this one but having beaten Liverpool and taken a point off Chelsea on the road, it’s not impossible for Forest to cause an upset.
I don’t think this will be straight forward for the Gunners but I think they’ve got enough to grab themselves a narrow victory against a very organised Forest side. Here you can find all our football betting tips.
Betting Without Man City - Arsenal
Can Arsenal close the gap and take home the Premier League title under Mikel Arteta?
Aston Villa v Crystal Palace - Saturday, 3pm
Double Chance and Total Goals Over/Under - Aston Villa or Draw and Under (2.5)
An out of form Aston Villa will be looking to bounce back as they welcome Crystal Palace to Villa Park on Saturday afternoon.
Unai Emery’s side are really struggled lately and they could be another side that actually welcomed the international break. The Villans are now winless in their last five games across all competitions and have suffered defeat in all of their last four, a run of games which started with a 2-1 loss to no other than Crystal Palace at the end of October in the EFL Cup. Those four loses included a hammering away to Spurs, a shock defeat against Club Brugge in the UEFA Champions League and then a 2-0 defeat an Anfield in their last outing, leaving Villa nineth in the league, although they are only one point off the top three, it’s vital that they get back to winning ways as soon as possible.
Oliver Glasner appears to have retained the backing of the Crystal Palace board during the international break despite the Eagles winning just one of their first eleven games in the Premier League. Palace sit in the relegation zone prior to their trip to the West Midlands on Saturday but will take confidence from the fact they won here less than a month ago. However, that victory came in the cup and Glasner’s side remain one of just four sides that are yet to win on the road in the league so far. It’s not been a start to the season which has been full of entertainment either for the Palace fans, their games have produced the least number of goals per game (2.1) in the PL.
Villa have won four of the last five league games on home soil against Crystal Palace, I don’t think they’ll be too much in this one but I think Villa could pile the pressure on Oliver Glasner.
To Finish In Top 4 - Aston Villa
Will Aston Villa be able to make it consecutive seasons with a top four finish?
AFC Bournemouth v Brighton & Hove Albion - Saturday, 3pm
Anytime Goalscorer - Mitoma, K
Two sides from the south coast of England will battle it out on Saturday afternoon as Bournemouth take on Brighton in the Premier League.
Bournemouth hit some fine form in October and early November, Andoni Iraola’s side beat both Arsenal and Manchester City whilst a draw with Aston Villa sandwiched the three games. With those surprising results, it’s no surprise that the Cherries came away from West London feeling frustrated following their 3-2 defeat to Brentford just before the international break, a result which leaves Bournemouth in twelfth place which is remarkable given their recent results, proving the inconsistency is just costing the Cherries at this point. Iraola and co could create a new club record here, winning four consecutive victories in the Premier League on home soil for the first time.
Brighton became the latest side to inflict misery on Manchester City, the Seagulls beat the reining Premier League champions just before the break with two goals in the last fifteen minutes. Fabian Hurzeler’s side occupy sixth place prior to this fixture, with four sides all on level points, a European spot will be the aim again for Brighton this season but you feel their record on the road will need to improve, having won just two of their last thirteen away games in all competitive competitions.
I think we’re in for goals on the south coast, Bournemouth have seen both teams score in their last three games whilst the same has occurred in the last four Brighton games. Kaoru Mitoma has struggled in front of goal this season, but he has scored three in his last three games against Bournemouth.
To Finish In Top 6 - Brighton And Hove Albion
Brighton & Hove Albion will be looking to finish the season in the top six and securing another European campaign for next season.
Everton v Brentford - Saturday, 3pm
Double Chance and Both Teams to Score - Everton or Draw and Yes
Everton welcome Brentford to Goodison Park on Saturday afternoon in this Premier League clash.
Everton were able to put a bit of a cushion between themselves and the bottom three in recent weeks but after just one win their last five games, including a defeat away to fellow strugglers Southampton, the Toffees find themselves back in danger after the first eleven games, with the gap to the relegation zone now at three points. Sean Dyche will be frustrated with his sides struggles in front of goal, they produced eighteen shots in their last outing away to West Ham but failed to score, meaning the Blues have now scored just three goals in their last five games.
Thomas Frank’s Brentford travel to Merseyside just outside of the top half of the table, currently eleventh with sixteen points. The Bees have definitely been one of the most entertaining sides so far, they’ve seen nine of their eleven Premier League games produce at least three goals, with their games averaging four goals per game, a league high. However, for all their entertainment, Brentford are just one of two sides that are yet to pick up a point on the road, the Bees have actually won just two of their last thirteen away games in the league, a worry for Thomas Frank.
Brentford have struggled against Everton in recent years, they’ve won just one of their last six meetings in all competitions, I’m going to edge towards the Toffees to win this one.
Correct Score - 2:1
Fulham v Wolverhampton Wanderers - Saturday, 3pm
Both Teams to Score in Both Halves Yes/No - Yes
Wolves will travel to West London on Saturday afternoon to face Fulham at Craven Cottage in the Premier League.
Fulham went into the international break in fine form, unbeaten in their last three and securing back-to-back victories against Brentford and most recently Crystal Palace. Marco Silva’s side are just one point outside of the top six heading into this fixture, it’s early days but the Cottagers will be hoping they can stay around this area and still be in a battle for a European place come May. Another victory here would secure three consecutive wins in the Premier League for the first time since December 2022/January 2023.
Anything other than a victory in their last outing for Wolves surely would have seen the end of Gary O’Neil’s time in charge of the Old Gold, a visit from Southampton was exactly what Wolves needed just before the international break. Their 2-0 victory secured their first win of the season and moved them off the foot of the table, with just two points from safety in this early stage, Wolves will be hoping they can kick on now and start to climb the table, it’s still a big ask but they should be full of confidence ahead of their trip to the capital.
I think we’re in for an entertaining match here, all of Fulham’s five league games at home this season have seen both teams score, whilst the same has occurred in 80% of Wolves’ away games in the league.
To Finish In Top Half - Fulham
Given the start Fulham have made, they are definitely on course to finish in the top half of the table, it’s definitely a possibility for Marco Silva’s side.
Manchester City v Tottenham Hotspur - Saturday, 5.30pm
Match Result and Both Teams To Score - Manchester City and Yes
All eyes will be on this Premier League fixture on Saturday evening, as Manchester City take on Tottenham Hotspur at the Etihad Stadium. – Check out our Premier League odds.
It’s definitely been a few weeks that Manchester City will be looking to move on from swiftly, having lost four consecutive games across all competitions for the first time since 2006 and the first time ever in the incredible managerial career of Pep Guardiola. It’s been a testing time for Man City but they’ll will be boosted with the reports that have emerged this week, a one-year contract extension for Pep Guardiola. The Blues are now five points behind Liverpool at the top of the table and will make the trip to Anfield next week, it’s vital that they get back to winning ways on Saturday ahead of that big clash in Merseyside.
Tottenham Hotspur played their part in the recent Man City struggles, their 2-1 victory in the EFL Cup started the downfall and things looked good for Spurs when they followed it up with a 4-1 thumping of Aston Villa. However, once again the inconsistency has struck again and just before the break, Ange Postecoglou’s side suffered an embarrassing home defeat to Premier League newbies Ipswich Town, it’s unlikely Spurs will bounce straight back at the Etihad given they’ve won just once here in their last ten visits.
I’m backing Manchester City to put a stop to this poor run of form and get their season back on track, we could be treated with goals as the last three meetings here have produced at least five goals. Here you can find all our latest football predictions.
Correct Score - 3:2
Both of these sides have seen eight of their eleven Premier League games (73%) produce at least three goals.
