Here are our correct score predictions based on current form, team motivation, recent performances and fixture context.
Newcastle vs Bournemouth prediction: Newcastle 2–1 Bournemouth
Newcastle remain a strong side at St James’ Park, where their intensity and pressing game often make the difference. They are still firmly in the mix for European places and tend to create a high volume of chances on home soil.
Bournemouth arrive in good form and have shown they can trouble top sides this season, with their attacking players capable of exploiting space in transition. That threat makes a Newcastle clean sheet far from certain.
However, Newcastle’s home advantage and greater consistency in big games should be enough to edge what looks like a competitive contest.
Prediction: Newcastle 2–1 Bournemouth
Tottenham vs Brighton prediction: Tottenham 1–1 Brighton
Tottenham come into this fixture in very poor form and are now firmly in the relegation battle, struggling to pick up points and lacking confidence across the pitch.
Brighton, by contrast, have been one of the form sides in the league, picking up multiple wins in recent weeks and showing strong control in possession and build up play.
On current form, Brighton look the stronger side, but Tottenham’s urgency at home and the need for points could produce a response. That balance points towards a tight and competitive draw.
Prediction: Tottenham 1–1 Brighton
Chelsea vs Manchester United prediction: Chelsea 2–2 Manchester United
Chelsea have been inconsistent in recent weeks and are still searching for momentum as they push for a European place. Performances have shown attacking quality, but defensive issues have prevented them from fully capitalising.
Manchester United remain in the top end of the table but have also shown vulnerability, particularly when facing teams that attack with pace and intensity.
Both sides have enough quality in forward areas to create chances, and with neither completely convincing defensively, this has the look of a game where both teams score and neither pulls away.
Prediction: Chelsea 2–2 Manchester United
Aston Villa vs Sunderland prediction: Aston Villa 2–1 Sunderland
Aston Villa continue to be one of the strongest home sides in the league, with Villa Park proving a difficult venue for visiting teams. Their attacking structure and ability to control games at home make them favourites here.
Sunderland have been competitive and well organised, and they will look to frustrate Villa and stay in the game for long periods.
While Sunderland are capable of scoring, Villa’s quality and home form should allow them to edge this one in a close contest.
Prediction: Aston Villa 2–1 Sunderland
Everton vs Liverpool prediction: Everton 1–1 Liverpool
The Merseyside derby is traditionally a tight and physical contest, often shaped by intensity rather than open attacking football.
Liverpool have had the better of recent meetings, but Everton at home will approach this with maximum effort and organisation, particularly given the importance of the fixture.
With both teams likely to be fully committed and chances potentially limited, a draw looks a realistic outcome in what should be a hard fought game.
Prediction: Everton 1–1 Liverpool
Manchester City vs Arsenal prediction: Manchester City 1–1 Arsenal
This is one of the biggest fixtures of the weekend, with both sides competing at the top of the table.
Manchester City remain extremely strong at home and will look to control possession and dictate the tempo. Arsenal, however, have shown consistency, organisation and resilience throughout the season.
With both teams capable of limiting chances as well as creating them, this could be a tactical and closely contested game with little separating the sides.
Prediction: Manchester City 1–1 Arsenal
