This Weekend’s Premier League Predictions (From Tuesday 6th January – Thursday 8th January 2026)
The English Premier League gameweek 21 kicks off after the weekend 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:
West Ham vs Nottingham Forest
Main Tip: Over 2.5 Goals
West Ham has been very poor in recent games, and they lost 3-0 to Wolves, who are the team in the league this season. While Nuno Espirito Santo, who coached Nottingham Forest earlier this season, is under pressure as clubs sack managers, he needs to deliver very soon.
Nottingham Forest, on the other hand, has won just 1 of their last 5 games (losing the rest) in the EPL. Despite the match outcomes of these teams’ individual games, many goals have been scored in their games.
We expect at least 3 goals in this fixture, as their last 5 meetings and individual game stats suggest this to be a high-scoring game.
Other Tips:
- Over 21.5 Shots
- Over 2.5 Cards
- Over 7.5 Corner Kicks
Bournemouth vs Tottenham
Main Tip: Both Teams to Score
Both teams have been finding life hard in the EPL recently. Bournemouth have failed to win either of their last games, losing 2 of those games. Tottenham have won just 1 of their last 5 games, losing 2.
In the home team’s last 5 games, both teams have scored, and both teams scored in Tottenham’s last game. We expect the same for this game.
Other Tips:
- Over 7.5 Corner Kicks
- Over 21.5 Shots
- Over 2.5 Goals
Brentford vs Sunderland
Main Tip: Both Teams to Score
Both teams have been having a good run in their recent EPL games. Brentford are unbeaten in their last 4 EPL games, winning 3 games. Sunderland have won just 1 of their last 5 games, but drawn the remaining games.
We expect both teams to score in this game because both teams are good moving forward, but Brentford is weak at the back. We expect Brentford to find the net and concede in this game. Also, 3 of the last 5 meetings between these teams have seen both teams scoring.
Other Tips:
- Over 2.5 Cards
- Over 7.5 Corner kicks
- Over 33.5 Throw-ins
Crystal Palace vs Aston Villa
Main Tip: Away to Win
Aston Villa are currently fired up after thrashing Nottingham Forest 3-1 in their last game. They are chasing Arsenal in the title race and have only failed to beat the Gunners in their last 12 games. Crystal Palace have been bad in their last 5 games as they have failed to win any of the games.
We expect Aston Villa to win this game as Crystal Palace is a shadow of what they once were in the league.
Other Tips:
- Over 2.5 Cards
- Away – Over 11.5 Shots
- Over 7.5 Corner Kicks
Everton vs Wolves
Main Tip: Home to Win or Draw
Both teams are in similar form currently and as they have each won 1, drawn 1, and lost 3 of their last 5 individual games. However, Wolves have been coming up in confidence based on their recent results.
However, Everton can be hard to beat at home, even though they lost 2-4 to a determined Brentford. We expect the home team to win or draw this game against Wolves.
Other Tips:
- Over 32.5 Throw-ins
- Over 21.5 Shots
- Over 2.5 Cards
Fulham vs Chelsea
Main Tip: Both Teams to Score
Managerless Chelsea surprised many as they held title-chasing Manchester City to a draw. They were very coordinated in the game, and we believe they’ll go into this game with the same belief. Fulham has been very hard to beat, especially at home. They are unbeaten in their last 4 games, winning 2 of those games.
Both teams have scored in 3 of Fulham’s last 5 games, while both teams have scored in Chelsea’s last 5 games in the EPL. We expect a similar outcome in this game.
Other Tips:
- Over 21.5 Shots
- Over 7.5 Corners
- Over 2.5 Cards
Manchester City vs Brighton
Main Tip: Over 2.5 Goals
City’s last 2 results were disappointing as they were held draw against Chelsea and Sunderland. It looks like Arsenal are becoming harder to catch in this title chase. City are unbeaten in their last 5 games, while Brighton have won just 1 of their last 5 games.
While we are tempted to go for a City win, Brighton have not lost to City in their last 3 clashes. However, there have been over 2.5 goals scored in each of their last 5 games. Also, both teams to score is another good bet.
Other Tips:
- Both Teams to Score
- Over 7.5 Corners
- Over 2.5 Cards
Burnley vs Manchester United
Main Tip: Over 2.5 Goals
Burnley have been in very bad shape as they have lost 3 of their last 5 games with 2 draws. Manchester United have won just 1 of their last 5 games, losing 1 and having 3 draws.
Man United’s manager Amorim was sacked on Monday morning, and we don’t know how interim manager Fletcher will set up, but United vs Burnley games normally have both teams scoring. Both teams have scored in 3 of their last 5 clashes and also in 4 of Man Utd’s last 5 games.
Other Tips:
- Both Teams to Score
- Over 23.5 Shots
- Over 2.5 Cards
Leeds Vs Newcastle
Main Tip: Over 2.5 Goals
This game features teams that have been in good form in recent games. Newcastle only lost just 1 game in their last 5 games, and drew 1. Leeds are unbeaten in their last 5 games, even though they have just 1 win.
Both teams are very attacking-minded and are expected to go all out for this game. Both teams to score is another good tip for this game because both teams have scored in 4 of their last 5 games each of these teams has played.
Other Tips:
- Both Teams to Score
- Over 7.5 Corner kicks
- Over 21.5 Shots
Arsenal Vs Liverpool
Main Tip: Over 2.5 Goals
Arsenal are in very good form in their last 5 games in the league. Liverpool is also in good form, but their last 2 games have ended in draws. Arsenal will be hoping to get revenge over Liverpool in this game, as they lost 1-0 to the Reds the last time.
However, the defending Champions are no pushovers and might still win this game. However, our focus will be on the goal market. Aside from the early season’s 1-0 scoreline, there have been at least 3 goals with both teams scoring in the last 4 clashes between these teams.
Also, recent form suggests that we will likely see both teams score and over 2.5 goals in this game.
Other Tips:
- Both Teams to Score
- Over 22.5 Shots
- Over 2.5 Cards
