England Premier League
Saturday 18th January 2025
Kick off at
Venue:

 
 
Newcastle vs Bournemouth Preview:
 
Newcastle have been the most in-form side in the league recently and are now in the top four with 38 points. Manager Eddie Howe wants his fans to dare to believe that the club can become title challengers and there is a good feeling about them inside out. At home Newcastle have lost just twice and won 60% of their games so far. Bournemouth are in 8th and are having a very solid season, they are coming off the back of beating Everton and drawing 2-2 away to Chelsea. The Cherries are also unbeaten in their last five away games and could provide a stern test for Howe's side. 
 
Prediction: 3-2 to Newcastle
 
Recommended Betting Tips: Newcastle to beat Bournemouth at 1.62, Anytime goalscorer: Alexander Isak at 1.80, Over 3.5 goals at 2.35
 
 
 
 
Brentford vs Liverpool Preview:
 
Brentford come into this game in 11th place with 28 points and they know that safety is nearly guaranteed already. The club will want to push for a European place but will need to improve on the road. At home there have been recent problems however the Bees still have the 3rd best home record in the league and recently drew 2-2 with Manchester City. On the face of it this doesn't look like being a huge test for Liverpool but it will still be a test. The Reds did well to draw away to Nottingham Forest in midweek but they have seen a healthy lead slashed to 4 points with Arsenal gaining ground, so this is a must win game. 
 
Prediction: 3-1 to Liverpool
 
Recommended Betting Tips: Liverpool to beat Brentford at 1.50, Correct Score: Liverpool to win 3-1 at 11.00, Anytime goalscorer: Diogo Jota at 2.25, Anytime goalscorer: Dominik Szoboszlai at 5.00
 
 
 
 
Leicester vs Fulham Preview:
 
Leicester have lost six games in a row with their latest one coming in a 2-0 home defeat against Crystal Palace. Interestingly it isn't all doom and gloom for the side in 19th place just yet as Ipswich, Wolves and Everton are in the same boat and two of those places are safe. A win here could see the Foxes into safety. Fulham almost upset West Ham but lost out 3-2 in midweek away from home. The Cottagers recent form has been decent and that loss was their first in five games but they have been drawing too many recently. On the road Marco Silva's side fared much worse winning just 30% of their games so far. 
 
Prediction: 2-0 to Fulham
 
Recommended Betting Tips: Fulham to beat Leicester at 1.80, Anytime goalscorer: Raul Jimenez at 2.60, 9+ corners at 1.50
 
 
 
 
West Ham vs Crystal Palace Preview:
 
Graham Potter got off to a terrific start in his first league game as manager of West Ham with a 3-2 win over Fulham. However it was clear that his side rode their luck at times but a win is a win. Potter has the luck to make it two out of two and to stay at home and this win would be a huge boost for the club. So far West Ham's majority result at home is the loss with 5 so far from eleven games played. Crystal Palace have gone their last four games undefeated and have superbly climbed 8 points from the drop. The Eagles are Undefeated in their last five away games and come here with a ton of confidence. 
 
Prediction: 1-1 draw
 
Recommended Betting Tips: Draw at 3.50, Half Time Correct Score: 0-0 or 1-0 to West Ham at 3.25 and 5.00, Anytime goalscorer: Mohammad Kudus at 3.50
 
 
 
 
Arsenal vs Aston Villa Preview:
 
Arsenal's 2-1 victory in the North London derby against Tottenham in midweek has been the perfect tonic for being knocked out of the FA Cup. Arsenal will be feeling confident and have moved to within four points of league leaders Liverpool coming into this weekend. The Gunners are unbeaten at home in the league and have won 70% of their games. Aston Villa would have welcomed their 1-0 victory away to Everton in midweek because their away form has been poor and this visit to London will be a tougher test. Villa won here last season though which derailed Arsenal's title chances can lightning strike twice? 
 
Prediction: 2-1 to Arsenal
 
Recommended Betting Tips: Correct Score: 2-1 to Arsenal at 9.00, Anytime goalscorer: Leandro Trossard at 3.00, Declan Rice at 8.00, Sending off in the game at 5.00
 
 
 
 
Everton vs Tottenham Preview:
 
David Moyes is already feeling how hard his job will be at Everton after losing his first game upon returning. The game was a 1-0 home loss to Aston Villa. Everton remain at home but from an attacking sense they are set to face an even more complex match. Tottenham's form has been poor with just 5 points earned from their last 27. The club have just lost to bitter rivals Arsenal 2-1. There is a feeling that a good win is just round the corner and the London side will be the favourites to win here against a team who can't score goals. 
 
Prediction: 2-1 to Tottenham
 
Recommended Betting Tips: Draw no bet (Tottenham) at 1.81, Anytime goalscorer: Heung Min Son at 2.75, Anytime goalscorer: Brennan Johnson at 4.00
 
 
 
 
Man Utd vs Brighton Preview:
 
Manchester United have had many problems even under Ruben Amorim but the last week has been a better one for them. First they knocked out Arsenal from the FA Cup and then they defeated Southampton 3-1. However they were being outplayed by the club in bottom place for the majority of the game. Brighton will offer a much tougher test. The Seagulls are in 10th place and five points ahead of United and are unbeaten in their last five games. Brighton haven't lost away from home in almost two months. 
 
Prediction: 1-1 draw
 
Recommended Betting Tips: Half Time/Full Time: Draw at 6.00, Correct Score: 1-1 at 7.00, Anytime goalscorer: Amad Diallo at 2.75, Both teams to score at 1.62
 
 
 
 
Nottm Forest vs Southampton Preview:
 
Nottingham Forest has the chance to join Arsenal on 44 points on Sunday and they will be the clear odds on favourites to do so. In their last game Forest came close to doing the double over league leaders Liverpool but that game finished 1-1. At home Nuno Espirito Santo side have won 50% of their games and have gone their last four unbeaten. Southampton were unlucky not to claim a surprise win away to Manchester United in midweek but it ended up being their 17th loss from 21 games. The Saints are 11 points from safety once we factor in goal difference. This could be another long afternoon for them. 
 
Prediction: 2-0 to Nottm Forest
 
Recommended Betting Tips: Half Time Result: Nottingham Forest at 1.91, Correct Score: 2-0 to Nottingham Forest at 7.00, First goalscorer: Morgan Gibbs-White at 8.00
 
 
 
 
Ipswich vs Man City Preview:
 
At the beginning of the season this would have looked like a menacing fixture for Ipswich but given City's form over the past two months they may feel they have a chance. Ipswich recently beat Chelsea here but they did lose at home in midweek against Brighton and still sit in a relegation place. Manchester City have slipped to an incredible 8th place coming into this game but they have managed to go their last four games without defeat. However there was a sign in midweek that not all is back to normal when they let a two goal lead slip at Brentford to draw 2-2. Erling Haaland may want to prove his worth again given he has just signed an astounding 9 and a half year contract.
 
Prediction: 2-0 to Man City
 
Recommended Betting Tips: Correct Score: 2-0 to Manchester City at 9.00, Erling Haaland to score 2+ goals at 4.00
 
 
 
 
Chelsea vs Wolves Preview:
 
Chelsea have the opportunity to go back into fourth place and ahead of Manchester City on Monday evening. The question is can the Blues get back to winning games? Recent poor form has taken Chelsea out of the title race as they have gone their last 5 games without a win. Chelsea have earned just 3 points from their last 15. Wolves are in 17th place and are one point ahead of the relegation zone. They could put pressure on Everton with a win and be only one point behind the Toffees. However the club who have impressed in single games have gone their last three without a win. On the road Wolves have lost 6 from 11 games and won just twice. 
 
Prediction: 1-0 to Chelsea
 
Recommended Betting Tips: Correct Score: Chelsea to win 1-0 at 13.00, First goalscorer: Nicolas Jackson at 5.00, 10+ corners in the game at 1.62
