Here are our correct score predictions for this weekend’s fixtures, based on current form, team news, motivation and recent performances.
Liverpool vs West Ham — Prediction: 3–0
Liverpool look close to rediscovering their best form at a crucial stage of the season. With Champions League qualification firmly in their sights, every home fixture carries huge importance.
West Ham are battling hard in their fight for Premier League survival, but Anfield remains one of the toughest venues in English football. Liverpool are expected to field a near full strength side and have shown improved defensive control in recent weeks.
Given the gulf in quality and the stakes involved for both teams, Liverpool should dominate proceedings.
Correct score prediction: Liverpool 3–0 West Ham
Newcastle vs Everton — Prediction: 2–1
Newcastle remain extremely strong at St James’ Park, where their intensity and crowd support regularly make the difference.
Everton continue to struggle with availability issues and have lacked consistency away from home. While they are competitive and organised, breaking down Newcastle on their own ground is a different challenge entirely.
Newcastle’s attacking threat should prove decisive, though Everton may find a goal.
Correct score prediction: Newcastle 2–1 Everton
Leeds vs Manchester City — Prediction: 1–3
Leeds have been impressive at Elland Road and are difficult to beat, especially against top opposition. Their energy and pressing style can cause problems.
However, Manchester City look back to their relentless best. Erling Haaland is scoring and assisting again, and Pep Guardiola’s side know they must keep the pressure on Arsenal at the top of the table.
City’s control, depth and clinical edge should ultimately overpower Leeds’ resistance.
Correct score prediction: Leeds 1–3 Manchester City
Fulham vs Tottenham — Prediction: 2–2
Tottenham have struggled for consistency but could benefit from a renewed sense of purpose under new leadership. A short term uplift in energy and application would not be surprising.
Fulham are well organised and competitive at Craven Cottage, making this a potentially open and entertaining contest.
With both sides capable of scoring but neither defensively reliable, a high scoring draw stands out.
Correct score prediction: Fulham 2–2 Tottenham
Manchester United vs Crystal Palace — Prediction: 2–0
Manchester United appear to have rediscovered resilience and are finding ways to secure results again. Under Michael Carrick, performances have shown improved structure and control.
Crystal Palace remain competitive but can struggle to create clear chances away from home against organised opponents.
United’s home advantage and improved defensive shape point towards a controlled victory.
Correct score prediction: Manchester United 2–0 Crystal Palace
Arsenal vs Chelsea — Prediction: 2–1
Arsenal remain one of the strongest teams in the league and understand the importance of maintaining pressure at the top of the table. With Manchester City expected to win at Leeds, this becomes another must win fixture.
Chelsea have shown flashes of quality but lack consistency, particularly in high pressure away games.
Arsenal’s intensity, attacking options and home support should prove decisive, though Chelsea are capable of scoring.
Correct score prediction: Arsenal 2–1 Chelsea
