Premier League Predictions & Tips
Newcastle United v Arsenal - Saturday, 12.30pm
Match Result and Both Teams To Score - Arsenal and No
Arsenal will make the trip to the North East on Saturday to face Newcastle United at St James’ Park in the Premier League’s early fixture. – Check out our Premier League odds.
Newcastle have had an average start to their campaign in the Premier League and the table reflects that, their first nine games have been split evenly in terms of the outcome (W3, D3, L3). Recent from is definitely a concern for Eddie Howe, following their 2-1 defeat to Chelsea on Sunday it’s now five league games without a victory. However, the Magpies will take confidence in the fact they’ve beaten Arsenal on home soil in two of their last three meetings, including the 1-0 victory almost a year to the day.
Arsenal occupy third place in the Premier League after their first nine games, despite taking a point off both Manchester City and Liverpool, Mikel Arteta’s side are now five points off the summit. The Gunners went into the break with a 2-1 lead in their last outing against Arne Slot’s Liverpool but that wasn’t to be enough, Mo Salah snatched a point towards the end. That could be a vital point for Arsenal come May but I’m sure Arteta would have left the Emirates knowing they missed their chance of putting real pressure on the top two at this early stage.
This isn’t usually a fixture that produces goals, just one of their last twelve meetings have seen both teams find the back of the net, I think Arsenal will edge this one. Here you can find all our latest football tips.
Outright Winner - Arsenal
A victory here for Arsenal would close the gap to Manchester City and Liverpool at the top of the table before their fixtures this weekend.
Bournemouth v Manchester City - Saturday, 3pm
Correct Score - 1:3
Premier League champions Manchester City will make the trip to the South Coast on Saturday afternoon to face Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium. – Check out our Premier League betting odds.
It’s been a really good couple of weeks for Bournemouth as they continue to produce results against the odds. Andoni Iraola’s side returned after the international break and beat Arsenal 2-0 in their first game before travelling to Aston Villa on Saturday afternoon and stealing a point late on with Evanilson’s second goal for the Cherries. You could be forgiven in thinking Bournemouth might have struggled to pick up points before the next international break given the calibre of opponents but it’s been the opposite and the Cherries are full of confidence ahead of this one.
Manchester City found themselves back on top of the pile over the weekend, Pep Guardiola’s side dominated their game against Southampton but could only find the back of the net once, albeit it was enough to give them all three points and extend that brilliant record at the Etihad Stadium. City are on their travels for this one, you have to go back to December 2023 for the last time Guardiola’s side were defeated away from home in any competition.
This is a ground that City have enjoyed over the years, they’ve won all seven of their visits here and have never lost to Bournemouth, even when they were facing off in League One during the 1998/1999 season. Here you can find all our latest football tips.
Outright Winner - Manchester City
Manchester City set a record in their last campaign by winning four Premier League titles in a row, they’ll be hoping to extend that record and make it five.
Ipswich Town v Leicester City - Saturday, 3pm
Both Teams to Score in Both Halves Yes/No - Yes
Two of the newest additions to this seasons Premier League will battle it out for a big three points on Saturday afternoon, as Ipswich Town welcome Leicester City to Portman Road. – Check out our latest football betting odds.
Ipswich Town now remain just one of three teams in the Premier League that are yet to register a victory so far, the Tractor Boys looked to be well on their way in their last outing against Brentford when Kieran McKenna’s side found themselves 2-0 up after thirty minutes. However, after 50 minutes they were 3-2 down and then had to play the last 20 minutes with 10 men, Ipswich thought they had stolen a point with Liam Delap’s late goal only for Bryan Mbeumo to break their hearts, that now ten points dropped from winning positions for Ipswich Town.
Leicester City hit the ground running since returning from the international break, the Foxes had put together back-to-back victories against Bournemouth and Southampton before welcoming Nottingham Forest in a Friday night fixture. Steve Cooper heard his name ring out around the King Power Stadium at full-time but it wasn’t from the home faithful, with those Forest fans that used to adore him thanking him for the win. Of course, it’s still early days but this could definitely be a game that plays a vital part in Premier League safety when we look back in May.
I think we can expect goals at Portman Road on Saturday, both sides have conceded in eight of their first nine games (89%), whilst Leicester have scored in all of their league games so far. These two sides haven’t met in the English top-flight since 2001, their two meetings in the Championship last year ended in a score draw. (1-1). Here you can find all our football predictions today.
Not To Be Relegated - Leicester City
Prior to this fixture, Leicester City sit five points clear of the bottom three, will Steve Cooper’s side avoid the drop come May?
Liverpool v Brighton & Hove Albion - Saturday, 3pm
MatchCombo - Mohamed Salah to score anytime, Liverpool to win & BTTS
After three consecutive away games, Liverpool return to Anfield on Saturday afternoon to face Brighton & Hove Albion in this Premier League clash. – Check out our Premier League betting odds.
These two sides will meet again on Saturday, just three days after their EFL Cup meeting on the South Coast. Liverpool dropped to second in the Premier League last weekend following their 2-2 draw away to Arsenal, Arne Slot’s are unbeaten in their last five league games since their shock defeat here to Nottingham Forest. It’s still a little too early to know if the Reds can really be considered as title challengers this year but having avoided defeat to Manchester United, Chelsea and Arsenal, the early signs are definitely encouraging for Slot and co.
It’s been a really good start for Fabian Hurzeler as the Brighton boss, the Seagulls sit in sixth place ahead of their trip to Merseyside, having faced defeat in just one of their first nine games. However, failing to see games out will be a slight concern as the Albion have now drawn 44% of their league games, most recently against Wolves in their last outing. Extending their lead to 2-0 with just five minutes left to play should have been enough to take maximum points for Brighton but they faced they ultimate collapse, conceding two late goals and dropping two points.
We should be in for an interesting game at Anfield, prior to their EFL Cup clash on Wednesday evening, these two sides have found the back of the net in four of their last five meetings, including the last three in Merseyside. I’ll back the home victory here but both teams to find the net once again. Here you can find all our football predictions.
Outright Winner - Liverpool
Arne Slot will be hoping his side can hit the Jackpot in May and claim his first Premier League title in charge of Liverpool.
Nottingham Forest v West Ham United - Saturday, 3pm
Match Result and Both Teams To Score - Draw and Yes
High-flying Nottingham Forest will welcome West Ham United to the City Ground on Saturday afternoon as they battle it out in the Premier League.
Despite it still being early days in their campaign, Nottingham Forest have started brilliantly and head into this fixture occupying seventh place in the Premier League. Nuno Espirito Santo’s side have lost just one of their first nine games, they’ve already beaten Liverpool and have taken a point off both Brighton and Chelsea. The Reds have won their last two league games, meaning a victory here would make it three wins on the bounce in the English top-flight for the first time since 1999.
By contrast, West Ham United haven’t really enjoyed their start to their campaign under Julen Lopetegui, with the Spaniard still looking to win over some of the West Ham faithful. However, he could be on his way to doing so after their 2-1 victory over Manchester United on Sunday, the Hammers were lucky to head into the break drawing and it took a controversial penalty decision that Jarrod Bowen converted to secure all three points.
Nottingham Forest have won just one of their first four games on home soil, they definitely prefer to play away from home. The Hammers have seen all of their last five games across all competitions produce both teams to score, Forest games at the City ground produce a league-low, with none of their four games producing more than two goals, only one of West Ham’s four away league games have produced three or more goals.
To Finish In Top Half - Nottingham Forest
Can Nottingham Forest keep up this run throughout the season and finish in the top half of the table?
Southampton v Everton - Saturday, 3pm
Match Result and Both Teams To Score - Everton and Yes
The Premier League offers up a huge clash towards the bottom of the league on Saturday afternoon as Everton travel to the South Coast to take on Southampton at St Mary’s Stadium.
Southampton are really struggling with their return to the English top-flight, the Saints have lost eight of their first nine games and sit rock bottom of the league with just one point. The biggest surprise from their last outing at Manchester City was the fact it was only 1-0, another loss here would put Russell Martin’s side eleven points behind Everton, who were one of the sides tipped to be fighting relegation, it’s a big game for the Saints as they look to end their rotten streak in the Premier League, 22 games without a win.
Things have started to look up for Everton recently, the Toffees are now unbeaten in their last five games, the unbeaten run looked like it would be coming to an end on Saturday night until Beto picked up just his fourth goal for Everton in the 94th minute to snatch a point off Fulham. Another victory on the road here for the Blues would make it consecutive away league wins for the first time since December 2023.
These two sides have already me this season, playing out a 1-1 draw in the EFL Cup before Southampton advanced into the next round via penalties. Four of the last five meetings between the two sides have seen both teams hit the back of the net, I’m going to back Everton to take all three points here and put more misery on the Saints.
Not To Be Relegated - Southampton
Southampton are making it hard for themselves in the early stages, Russell Martin will be hoping his side can defy the odds and escape relegation.
Wolverhampton Wanderers v Crystal Palace - Saturday, 5.30pm
No Draw Both Teams To Score - Yes
Two of the early Premier League strugglers will go head-to-head on Saturday evening as Wolverhampton Wanderers face Crystal Palace at Molineux. – Check out our Premier League odds.
Wolves find themselves nineteenth in the Premier League having failed to win a game in their first nine attempts. However, the Old Gold showed their fighting spirit last weekend away to Brighton, trailing 2-0 with just five minutes remaining, Gary O’Neil’s side didn’t give up and were rewarded with two late goals and a point to take back home to the West Midlands. With another international break looming, the next two games could be pivotal in determining O’Neil’s future as the Wolves boss, having not won any of his last thirteen league games.
Crystal Palace finally got up and running in the league on Sunday afternoon, the Eagles picked up their first three points at home to Tottenham Hotspur, a result which moved Oliver Glasner’s team out of the bottom three. Having been tipped to finish towards those European places at the start of the season, it’s been a disappointing few months for Palace but another victory in this one could put their season back on track.
I’m expecting goals at Molineux on Saturday evening, three of the last four competitive meetings between these two sides have seen both teams find the back of the net. Whilst Wolves games this season have produced the most in the league, averaging 4.1 goals per game. There hasn’t been a draw between these two sides in their last ten competitive meetings. Here you can find all our football predictions.
To Finish In Top Half - Crystal Palace
Crystal Palace will be hoping to get their season back on track and resume their aim of finishing in the top half of the Premier League.
