Here are our correct score predictions based on current form, recent results, scheduling factors and team motivation.
Aston Villa 2–1 Leeds
Aston Villa returned to winning ways with a 1–0 Premier League victory over Brighton and remain one of the strongest home teams in Europe this season. Villa Park has been a fortress, and Unai Emery’s side benefit from a full week of rest heading into this fixture.
Leeds showed strong character in their recent 2–2 comeback draw and have been difficult to beat on the road, losing just once in their last eight away matches in all competitions. Their organisation and defensive structure make them hard to break down.
Despite Leeds’ resilience, Villa’s outstanding home form and attacking quality should prove decisive in a competitive game.
Prediction: Aston Villa 2–1 Leeds
West Ham 1–1 Bournemouth
Both sides come into this fixture in strong form, making this one of the most evenly matched games of the weekend.
West Ham are fighting for Premier League survival and will be highly motivated, particularly given their strong recent home record against Bournemouth. The Hammers have shown improved defensive discipline and urgency in recent performances.
Bournemouth, however, are pushing for European qualification and continue to impress with their attacking style and consistency. With both teams in good form and strong incentives, a closely contested draw looks likely.
Prediction: West Ham 1–1 Bournemouth
Manchester City 3–1 Newcastle
Newcastle recorded a dominant 6–1 away win in Azerbaijan in midweek European action, with Anthony Gordon scoring four goals. However, the travel demands and quick turnaround present a very different challenge here.
Manchester City are well rested and in strong domestic form as they look to close the gap on Arsenal in the title race. Pep Guardiola’s side remain extremely dominant at home and rarely drop points in fixtures of this nature.
Newcastle’s attacking threat should create chances, but City’s quality and control should secure a comfortable victory.
Prediction: Manchester City 3–1 Newcastle
Nottingham Forest 0–2 Liverpool
Nottingham Forest produced an impressive 3–0 away victory at Fenerbahce in European competition on Thursday, but the demanding schedule and upcoming second leg could impact their squad selection and physical condition.
Liverpool arrive well rested and appear to be regaining momentum, recording back to back clean sheets and showing improved defensive stability. Their depth and attacking quality should allow them to capitalise against a potentially fatigued Forest side.
Prediction: Nottingham Forest 0–2 Liverpool
Sunderland 1–1 Fulham
Sunderland have been excellent at home this season, suffering just one defeat on their own ground, which came against Liverpool. Their defensive structure and organisation make them difficult opponents.
Fulham are well balanced and evenly matched in quality, but neither side has been particularly prolific in front of goal recently. With both teams prioritising defensive stability, chances may be limited.
Prediction: Sunderland 1–1 Fulham
Tottenham 1–3 Arsenal
Arsenal will be eager to respond after dropping points against Wolves and remain under pressure in the Premier League title race. Despite some injury concerns, Bukayo Saka is expected to return, strengthening their attacking threat.
Tottenham continue to struggle for consistency and remain under an interim manager, with recent performances lacking defensive stability. While North London derbies often carry unpredictability, Arsenal’s quality and motivation should prove decisive.
Prediction: Tottenham 1–3 Arsenal
