This Weekend’s Premier League Predictions (From Saturday 26th December – Sunday 28th December 2025)
The English Premier League gameweek 18 kicks off after the Midweek cup games, and we have already analyzed the top possible outcomes in all EPL games, based on watching their past performances and coaching tactics. Below are our EPL predictions this midweek:
Manchester United vs Newcastle
Main Tip: Away to Win
This game is one of the most exciting games of the weekend, and we expect the away team to win and many goals in this game. Newcastle United have been inconsistent with 2 wins, 2 draws, and a loss in their last 5 games. They threw away a 2-0 lead over Chelsea last weekend and would want to rectify themselves this weekend against a weakened Manchester United.
Manchester United fell to Aston Villa last weekend, and they’ll be without Bruno Fernandes for this game. Mbuemo and Amad will also be out, which means that United’s attack will be severely affected in this game.
Other Tips:
- Over 2.5 Cards
- Over 2.5 Goals
- Over 23.5 shots
Nottingham Forest vs Manchester City
Main Tip: City to Win
Manchester City have been in great form in recent games. They are really chasing Arsenal and have won their last 5 games in the league. Nottingham Forest have been on a mixed form in recent games, having won three and lost their last two league games.
The City’s defense has been solid in recent games, as they have not conceded a goal in their last four EPL games. Nottingham Forest are good in attack, but sometimes they are outplayed, and they fail to score. We expect a comfortable away win in this game.
Other Tips:
- Away to Win
- Halaand to Score
- Over 7.5 Corner kicks
Arsenal vs Brighton
Main Tip: Home to Win
Arsenal have been in good form as they have lost just one of their last 5 games, winning the rest. They are still leading the EPL table, although a loss can mean they are out of that position, as Aston Villa and Manchester City are hot on their tails.
Brighton have been out of form in their recent games. They have won just 1 of their last 5 games in the league and have not won any of their last 4. Also, the away team has failed to score in their last 2 games.
Arsenal to win is a very good option for this game, considering the form of both teams.
Other Tips:
- Over 2.5 Goals
- Over 2.5 Cards
- Over 7.5 Corner kicks

Brentford vs Bournemouth
Main Tip: Both Teams to Score
Both teams have been in bad shape in their recent games, although Brentford won against Wolves in their last game. However, Wolves only have 2 points this season, and that result can be unconvincing.
Both teams have scored in 4 of Bournemouth’s last 5 games in the league, and this outcome can be seen in 4 of the last 5 meetings between these teams.
Other Tips:
- Over 2.5 Goals
- Over 22.5 Shots
- Over 7.5 Corner Kicks
Burnley vs Everton
Main Tip: Away to Win
Burnley has been bad also all season and has lost 4 of their last 5 games, and a draw. Everton have been inconsistent in their last 5 games, but they lost to Newcastle, Chelsea, and Arsenal while winning Nottingham Forest and Bournemouth.
We expect Everton to win this game because they have shown that they can beat lesser opponents. Also, in 4 of their last 5 H2H meetings, Everton have won. Also, there have been over 2.5 goals scored in 3 of those games, and we believe we’ll see a similar outcome.
Other Tips:
- Over 2.5 Goals
- Over 7.5 Corners
- Over 2.5 Cards
Liverpool vs Wolves
Main Tip: Home to Win
Liverpool looks to be out of trouble as they are unbeaten in their last 5 games, winning their last 3 games in all competitions. They face Wolves, who are bottom of the table with just 2 points, and it looks like a straightforward victory for The Reds.
Although Liverpool will be without Salah and Alexander Isak for this game, we expect Ekitike to lead the line and continue to deliver as he has always done this season.
Other Tips:
- Both Teams to Score – No
- Over 2.5 cards
- Home Over 14.5 Shots
West Ham vs Fulham
Main Tip: Fulham to Win or Draw
West Ham has been in bad form in recent games as they have not won any of their lost 5 games, losing 3 of those games. Fulham has won only 2 of its last 5 games and lost 3. This game is hard to call because Fulham lost 3 of their key players to AFCON and might struggle to win against West Ham, as they struggled to win against Nottingham Forest.
However, West Ham are bad defensively and can’t stop conceding goals both home and away. We expect them not to lose against West Ham, but not fully confident that they’ll win this game.
Other Tips:
- Over 33.5 Throw-ins
- Over 7.5 Corners
- Over 2.5 Cards
Chelsea vs Aston Villa
Main Tip: Over 2.5 Goals
Chelsea have been in mixed form in their recent games. They have won just 2 of their last 5 games, but have just lost once. However, they always find the net.
Aston Villa have been unbeaten in their last 10 games. They have won their last 10 games and are third on the EPL table. We expect at least 3 goals from this game and both teams to score.
Other Tips:
- Both Teams to Score
- Over 23.5 Shots
- Over 2.5 Cards
Sunderland Vs Leeds United
Main Tip: Over 2.5 Goals
Leeds United have been amazing in their recent games. They are unbeaten in their last 4 games, winning 2 of those games. Sunderland have a similar form as they have lost just 1 of their last 5 games too.
Both teams are poor defensively, and we expect goals from both ends and over 2.5 goals. This outcome was also seen in their last 2 meetings.
Other Tips:
- Both Teams to Score
- Over 33.5 Throw-ins
- Over 2.5 cards
Crystal Palace Vs Tottenham
Main Tip: Over 2.5 Goals
Both teams have been in mixed form in recent games and have very similar outcomes. Palace have failed to win any of their last 3 games, while Tottenham have lost their last 2 games.
Both teams still try to score even though their defenses are very bad. We expect both teams to score in this game, and over 2.5 goals to be scored.
Other Tips:
- Over 7.5 Corners
- Both Teams to Score
- Over 2.5 cards
