Premier League Predictions & Tips

West Ham United v Chelsea - Saturday, 12.30pm

The early game in the Premier League this weekend gives us a London derby, as West Ham welcome Chelsea to the London Stadium. 

It’s been an average start for West Ham under new boss Julen Lopetegui, the Hammers have won just one of their four Premier League games this season but did show a bit of spirit in their last outing, with Danny Ings netting an equaliser in the 95th minute away to Fulham, just thirteen minutes after coming off the bench. The Irons have lost both of their home league games so far, a victory here could give them the kick start they need on home soil. 

Chelsea played their part in a new Premier League record on Saturday night, their game away to Bournemouth produced the most yellow cards in a Premier League fixture, with a mighty fourteen. The Blues won the game but they left it late, after Evanilson missed his penalty for Bournemouth, Enzo Maresca turned to his talented bench late on and two of his substitutes combined when Jadon Sancho assisted Christopher Nkunku to give their side all three points on the south coast.

It’s worth noting that seven of the last ten meetings have seen both teams on the scoresheet in all competitions whilst West Ham have been on home soil. Chelsea have won just twice in their last ten visits to West Ham.

Aston Villa v Wolverhampton Wanderers - Saturday, 3pm

The Premier League offers us a West Midlands derby this weekend, as Wolverhampton Wanderers make the short trip to Villa Park to face Aston Villa on Saturday afternoon. 

Aston Villa adapted to life in the new Champions League format with a 3-0 victory over Young Boys in Bern, it could have been more for Unai Emery’s side with the Villans having two goals disallowed by VAR. The result left them at the top of the UCL table until Bayern Munich’s historic victory, attention will now return back to the Premier League and Villa have the chance to make it back-to-back victories on home soil following their impressive comeback against Everton last weekend. 

Wolves’ start to the Premier League campaign has been a slow one, Gary O’Neil’s side sit in eighteenth place on just one point after four games. The Old Gold found themselves leading Newcastle 1-0 with just fifteen minutes left to play on Sunday afternoon yet left Molineux with nothing, much to the frustration of the Wolves faithful. The misery continued on Wednesday night, a 3-2 defeat on the south coast against Brighton meant the end of the road for O’Neil’s side in this seasons EFL Cup, they are now winless in all of their last nine competitive games on the road, their last win away from home cam back in February. 

Wolves actually hold the advantage in recent years at Villa Park, losing just once in their last five visits with victories in two of those. However, their away form going into this one is very concerning and despite Villa coming back from that away game in Switzerland, I still think they should have enough to get the victory here.

Fulham v Newcastle United - Saturday, 3pm

Newcastle United will make the trip to West London on Saturday afternoon to face Fulham in this Premier League clash. 

Fulham currently sit twelfth in the Premier League after their first four games, it’s been a bit of a frustrating start for Marco Silva’s side, they came away from their opener with nothing to show for their efforts, they’ve beaten Leicester City but since then, the Cottagers have played out back-to-back stalemates and we’re just seconds away from claiming their second league with of the campaign on Saturday before conceding a 95th minute equaliser to London rivals West Ham. Another draw here is unlikely though, given the last time Fulham played out two consecutive draws on home soil was back in 2021 during their Championship campaign. 

Newcastle have made a fantastic start to their Premier League campaign, Eddie Howe’s side had to come from behind in their last outing away to Wolves, substitute Harvey Barnes scored the winner in the 80th minute with an absolute beauty from outside of the area. The concern will be the fitness of Alexander Isak, the Swedish forward had to be replaced at half-time after a collision on his nose. The Magpies have now won three of their four games in the league and remain unbeaten ahead of this trip to West London.

Newcastle have got a brilliant record against Fulham in recent years, they remain unbeaten in their last nine games against the Cottagers, winning the last six on the bounce. 

Leicester City v Everton - Saturday, 3pm

This already feels like a big game towards the bottom of the Premier League as Everton travel to the King Power Stadium on Saturday afternoon to face Leicester City.

Leicester were boosted over the international break with the news that they wouldn’t be facing any points deductions from the Premier League. The Foxes almost secured their first three points of the season under Steve Cooper in their last outing, his side found themselves 2-0 up after 46 minutes but a brace from Jean-Philippe Mateta including his 92nd minute penalty for Crystal Palace left Leicester City feeling frustrated coming away from South London. 

It’s been a dismal start to the season for Sean Dyche and Everton, the Toffees have thrown away a two-goal advantage in their last two games. After their embarrassing collapse at home to Bournemouth before the international break, Dyche’s side travelled to Villa and despite going 2-0 up after twenty-seven minutes, they left the West Midlands with another defeat, that’s now four defeats from their first four league games, simply not good enough from Everton, as it’s already looking like another season where the Toffees will flirt with relegation. 

Both teams have scored in all of Leicester’s four games back in the Premier League, whilst Everton top the Over/Under table in the league, with all four of their games producing at least three goals, averaging 4.3 goals per game, I think we could be in for more goals here.

Liverpool v AFC Bournemouth - Saturday, 3pm

Liverpool will be looking to bounce back in the Premier League from their shock defeat last week as they welcome Bournemouth to Anfield.

Liverpool’s 100% record came to an end last weekend, Arne Slot’s side came up short against Nottingham Forest on home soil, a result which shocked the football world. However, the Reds didn’t let that result affect them too much when they turned up to the San Siro on Tuesday evening and left Milan with all three points in the Champions League after an impressive 3-1 victory. It’s worth noting that last time Liverpool lost consecutive games on home soil was back in 2021.  

Bournemouth played their part in a new Premier League record on Saturday night with their game against Chelsea producing the most yellow cards in a Premier League fixture (14). Andoni Iraola’s side lost the game 1-0 with Evanilson failing to covert his penalty, the Cherries just haven’t been able to put any real form together so far but their only win this season did come in Merseyside a couple of weeks ago, they’ll have to show that same fighting spirit you feel if they are to get anything from this one. 

Liverpool have a tremendous record against Bournemouth, they’ve won nine of their last ten meetings and the Reds have never lost to the Cherries on home soil, wining seven of eight in Merseyside.

Southampton v Ipswich Town - Saturday, 3pm

Two of the newest additions to the Premier League meet on Saturday afternoon as Southampton welcome Ipswich Town to the south coast. 

Southampton are still looking for their first points of this Premier League campaign, the Saints have suffered a slow start to the league and were left frustrated in their last game against Manchester United. Cameron Archer’s penalty was saved and just two minutes later, Manchester United went up the other end and scored, a Rashford goal before HT double their lead and despite some good chances in the first half, Russel Martin’s side suddenly had to chase the game. It’s been the story of Southampton’s first four games of the season, having scored just once and conceding eight. 

Ipswich Town’s start to the season hasn’t been as bad, after facing Liverpool and Man City in their opening two games, the Tractor Boys have managed to claim back-to-back draws giving them their first two points of the season. Impressively, they managed to keep a clean sheet away to Brighton in their last game, something not many sides tend to do. If Kieran McKenna’s side want to give themselves a real fighting chance of staying in the English top-flight, these are the type of games they’ll be looking to take all three points from, fellow relegation candidates. 

These two sides met twice last season in the Championship, Ipswich won both games including a 1-0 victory here just over a year ago. I don’t think we’ll see much between the two sides and a draw here wouldn’t surprise me. 

Tottenham Hotspur v Brentford - Saturday, 3pm

North London meets West London on Saturday afternoon as Tottenham and Brentford come head-to-head in the Premier League. 

Tottenham enter this game off the back of their really disappointing display in the North London derby on Sunday, they lost on home soil to their rivals which means Ange Postecoglou’s side still have just one victory from their first four games in the league. Spurs are already showing some of the inconsistency they showed last season which ultimately cost them a place in the Champions League, the good news is there’s still plenty of time for them to get back on track, a victory here is much needed for Ange Postecoglou. 

Brentford found themselves in dreamland after just one minute in Manchester on Saturday, the Bees took an early lead over the Premier League champions through Yoane Wissa although it all went a bit downhill from there, not only did Thomas Frank’s side become the latest side to struggle keeping Erling Haaland quiet, Wissa picked up an injury just before half-time which will rule him out for around two months, a big miss for Brentford. 

The last four times that these two sides have met have been entertaining games, all four games have seen at least four goals, with both sides taking a victory as well, I think Spurs should have enough to bounce back here and claim all three points.

Crystal Palace v Manchester United - Saturday, 5.30pm

Manchester United will make the trip to South London on Saturday night to face Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park in the Premier League. 

The Eagles head into this fixture without a Premier League win this season, you feel like Oliver Glasner will be disappointed with that start given the optimism that surrounded the club ahead of this one. The did manage to secure their place in the next round of the EFL Cup on Tuesday night with a 2-1 victory over their fellow Londoners QPR but Glasner will want to get their first league win wrapped up as soon as possible. 

Manchester United fielded a very strong side on Tuesday night as the Red Devils beat Barnsley in style, Erik ten Hag’s side put seven past the league one side but I think fans will be happy to see Marcus Rashford getting himself on the scoresheet again, that’s now three goals in his last two games following his long drought. Manchester United are back on the road for this one, having claimed their first win in the league on Saturday against Southampton. 

In the last five meetings between these two, Crystal Palace have won the last two, United have won two and then they’ve played out a 1-1 draw as well. The Eagles won the last meeting 4-0 back in May, a result which put major pressure on Erik ten Hag, although he won the FA Cup a couple of weeks later.

Brighton & Hove Albion v Nottingham Forest - Sunday, 2pm

Brighton & Hove Albion face Nottingham Forest on Sunday afternoon as the two sides kick-off our Super Sunday double header from the Premier League. 

Unbeaten in their first four Premier League games this season, with victories in two of them, the new Brighton boss Fabian Hurzeler claimed the manager of the month award for August. The 31-year-old now has chance to make history for the Seagulls, avoiding defeat here would see Brighton go unbeaten in their first five matches in the top-flight for the first time ever. Looking at their record on home soil, its definitely doable given they remain unbeaten in their last four against Forest across all competitions.

What a weekend it was for Nottingham Forest, the Tricky Trees shocked the football world with a 1-0 victory at Anfield against heavy favourites Liverpool. Nuno Espirito Santo said he was proud of the way his team played despite injuries to key players, that was their first victory at Anfield since 1969, memorable win for Forest. The Reds have made a really good start, their record so far is the same as their opponents (W2, D2, L0) but remain one place below having scored two goals less, the worry for Nottingham Forest is that they haven’t scored against Brighton on the south coast in their last four attempts. 

Two sides in good form but despite Forest coming into this full of confidence following their recent victory on Merseyside, I think Brighton will just edge it, 1-0 to the home side.

Manchester City v Arsenal - Sunday, 4.30pm

A mouth-watering fixture awaits us on Sunday afternoon in the Premier League, the current champions will take on their nearest challengers, it’s Manchester City v Arsenal at the Etihad Stadium. 

After their comeback against Brentford last weekend, Manchester City continued their unbelievable home record which now stands at 32 games unbeaten in the league. Pep Guardiola’s side played out a goalless draw against Inter Milan in the Champions League on Wednesday evening, the first goalless draw in East Manchester since the visit of Arsenal back in March. City could be boosted if they know that Pep Guardiola has won more managerial games against Arsenal than any other club. 

You feel like this is a huge game for Arsenal, in 2023 when Arsenal first challenged Manchester City to the title, Mikel Arteta set his side up totally wrong in the game at the Etihad Stadium with the Gunners losing 4-1. Fast-forward eleven months and Arsenal again were in the title race, Arteta set them up to grab a point and that’s exactly what they got in the goalless draw. However, when looking back, many people think not gambling enough in that game for the win ultimately cost Arsenal the title, ending the season just two points behind City. Arsenal also head into this fixture off the back of a 0-0 against Italian opposition (Atalanta), this will be a really intriguing battle. 

I’ll be honest, I don’t think we’ll get too many goals in this one as I think it’s going to be too tactical. Neither side will want to lose which could set us up for a cagey affair between the two.
