Fixtures Premier League

Predictions
12:3003 JanAston VillaNottingham Forest
Aston Villa to win
1.88
Chris Winterburn's Analysis

Aston Villa are well and truly in the Premier League title picture, and they play host to Nottingham Forest in their first match of 2026. The two former European Cup winners are at opposite ends of the table this season, although Forest have been much improved since Sean Dyche took over. Villa’s home record is excellent and with Ollie Watkins in fine goalscoring form I believe the hosts will end up comfortable victors in this clash.

15:0003 JanWolvesWest Ham
Draw
3.50
Chris Winterburn's Analysis

Wolves are still winless in the Premier League at the time of writing and face fellow relegation candidates, West Ham, at Molineux on Saturday. Wolves will need a miracle to stay up from here, but if they can start winning against teams around them, the six-pointers quickly start adding up.

For Nuno Espirito Santo, this is a must-win game, it’s free points when everyone else around them is beating Wolves and something the Irons can’t afford to leave on the table. Wolves can score goals, though, and it remains to be seen how solid West Ham are. I think this game could end in a draw.

15:0003 JanBrightonBurnley
Draw
4.42
Chris Winterburn's Analysis

Brighton and Hove Albion host Burnley on Saturday afternoon, with the Seagulls looking to have a better second half of the season and qualify for European football. A home match against relegation strugglers, Burnley, is the perfect opportunity for the hosts to claim a much-needed victory. Brighton have been guilty of overplaying on the ball this season, but Burnley don’t necessarily press high enough up the pitch to make them pay for that. I think this will be a score draw.

17:3003 JanBournemouthArsenal
Arsenal to win
1.64
Chris Winterburn's Analysis

Bournemouth take on Arsenal at the Vitality Stadium with Andoni Iraola under the first real moment of pressure since he arrived on the South Coast. His work with Bournemouth has been stellar, but results have slipped since November and the imminent exit of Antoine Semenyo is going to do little to help matters.

Arsenal are an incredibly strong force and will hope to have players back in for the trip to Bournemouth. Declan Rice is in line for a return after missing the Aston Villa clash through injury, and Jurrien Timber is also back. Bournemouth are capable of getting a result here, but the form book is against them and I think Arsenal will grind out a close win. Don’t sleep on Semenyo as an anytime scorer irrespective of the result.

12:3004 JanLeedsManchester United
Manchester United to win
2.65
Chris Winterburn's Analysis

All eyes will be on Elland Road for Sunday’s early kick-off as Leeds United welcome their fierce rivals, Manchester United, to Yorkshire in what is the first game Leeds fans look for when the fixtures are released. Manchester United have a fantastic recent record against Leeds, although that was mostly down to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s style of play as coach.

Leeds are a lot less open than in those times, however, but defensively they can still make a lot of mistakes. Ruben Amorim’s new-look attack of Joshua Zirkzee and Benjamin Sesko is bound to click given their respective skillset and that could spell trouble for the hosts. One thing is certain, there won’t be a clean sheet in this game, although Ayden Heaven has been a revelation at the back for Amorim of late. I think Manchester United will win this.

15:0004 JanTottenhamSunderland
Draw
3.84
Chris Winterburn's Analysis

Tottenham Hotspur welcome Sunderland to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Sunday afternoon with the visitors perhaps the favourites. Brennan Johnson is in line to leave the club for Crystal Palace so might not be risked with Spurs eager to complete a sale.

Sunderland are a team that have taken full advantage of any opponent that isn’t at their best and I can see them repeating that feat in North London. Richarlison has been threatening to score a hatful of late, having two ruled out for offside against Crystal Palace and I think Sunday is going to be the moment he finds the net. Coupling him as an anytime goalscorer with a BTTS draw is the smart direction here.

15:0004 JanNewcastleCrystal Palace
Both Teams Score
1.75
Chris Winterburn's Analysis

Crystal Palace are usually tactically excellent, but an away trip to St. James’ Park promises to be quite challenging given the Eagles’ recent form. Newcastle are a team that are hit-and-miss, but they have a lot of attacking upside. Goals are likely in this game, and you could look to play it safe by avoiding betting on a result and focusing on a Mateta/Woltemade anytime scorer combination. If you were to force me, I’d suggest Newcastle will probably get a win here.

15:0004 JanFulhamLiverpool
Draw
3.86
Chris Winterburn's Analysis

Fulham host Liverpool in an intriguing clash on Sunday with the Merseyside club having rebuilt their season over the Christmas period. Arne Slot is starting to come out of the other side with regards to then disastrous run of defeats the defending Champions had between October and November, and this is a game the visitors should win.

However, Fulham have been much improved of late. Marco Silva’s team are well organised and could cause Liverpool problems. If anything, this is a test of just how much stock we can put into Liverpool’s resurgence. A win here would convince a lot of people. Personally, I’d lean towards a draw here with Federico Chiesa as a possible anytime scorer off the bench.

15:0004 JanEvertonBrentford
Draw
3.37
Chris Winterburn's Analysis

Everton’s first home game of 2026 comes with the visit of Brentford on Sunday afternoon. David Moyes will be hoping his team can find a little more consistency in the second half of the season, with the Blues safely away from relegation but not quite ready to challenge for continental qualification.

Jack Grealish is expected to be back in the team, and he will see much of the creative burden fall on his shoulders in Iliman Ndiaye’s absence at the AFCON. Brentford will battle and make it difficult for the hosts to score. This game will be a draw.

17:3004 JanManchester CityChelsea
Manchester City to win
1.72
Chris Winterburn's Analysis

The best is definitely saved for last on Sunday, with Manchester City hosting Chelsea being the pick of Matchday 20. Sunday’s late kick-off presents an interesting battle between two similar tactical approaches. Enzo Maresca has seen results slip of late, although this has actually coincided with him being linked with the manager’s job at City should Pep Guardiola depart at the end of the season. Chelsea lack the attacking firepower their vast expenditure should have guaranteed. Cole Palmer has yet to fully return to match fitness, whilst Alejandro Garnacho has fallen way short of the mark to this point. Erling Haaland will score in this game, Chelsea’s defence isn’t strong enough to stop him, and I think City will win quite easily, especially with the Abu-Dhabi owned club having started to chain wins together and move back into the title race.

                                FPL Predictions for the New Season

                                Fantasy Premier League is the most popular fantasy football competition in the world. Indeed, it is the official Premier League “dream team” and gives players £100m to create a squad of 15 players. At the start of each season, there is a frenzy as player values and any position changes are announced.

                                Points are awarded for real-world actions, with Mo Salah’s incredible haul of goals and assists in 2024/25 making him easily the highest-scoring player. The best players are the most expensive, though. Therefore, just as in the Premier League, managers must balance their team and spend their transfer budget wisely. Additionally, FPL research and data can be a valuable tool for betting on the Premier League.


                                Premier League Table Predictions 24/25

                                Making Premier League predictions before a ball has been kicked is challenging. For example, last season, none of the BBC’s 30 experts predicted Liverpool would win the league. Indeed, just one, Fara Williams, had them as high as second! One expert had Manchester United in second place, while 17 of 30 had Manchester United or the Spurs in the top four!

                                Nobody expected new Reds boss Arne Slot to make the impact he did. Indeed, Opta’s famed “supercomputer” gave Man City an 82.2% chance of claiming the title. The bookies’ odds were not quite that bullish about City’s chances, but they were still the clear favourites. However, Liverpool were expected to finish third. While Opta correctly predicted the top four, only two of the teams were in the correct position.

                                Opta uses a combination of data analytics, modelling and machine learning to run 10,000 simulations of the season. Their Power Ratings system is at the heart of this. This uses a range of data points, such as past results, previous xG, and an assessment of squad quality.

                                These simulations formulate the probability that each team will finish in a given place. Incredibly, they revealed that in their 2025/26 simulation, “19 of the 20 competing teams won the title at least once in our 10,000 season simulations”. That shows just how unpredictable this season’s Premier League is shaping up to be.
