EPL Week 26 Predictions

Leicester City vs Brentford – King Power Stadium

Leicester City ($3.55)

Brentford ($2.10)

Draw ($3.80)

It has been a tough few weeks for Ruud van Nistelrooy at Leicester City and the Foxes will be looking to get back on track here against Brentford. Staying in the Premier League is the priority for Leicester, but it is clear that they have work to do if they are to stay up, with results having been hard to come by of late. Brentford meanwhile are looking to build on their good win at West Ham last time out and they have a top half finish firmly within their sights. This could be tight, but Brentford could manage to sneak the points in this one.

Betting tip: Brentford to win the match ($2.10)

Brentford to win 2-1

Everton vs Manchester United – Goodison Park

Everton ($2.60)

Manchester United ($2.88)

Draw ($3.25)

David Moyes takes on his old side, with his old/new side in this one, as Everton host Manchester United for the final time at Goodison Park. The Toffees are adapting very well to life under Moyes and are beginning to look as if they could climb into the top half come the end of the season. United meanwhile are seriously struggling under Ruben Amorim and are languishing down in 15th place in the Premier League table. Calling this one is tough but both sides may end up setting for a draw at Goodison Park.

Betting tip: The match to finish as a draw ($3.25)

1-1 Draw

Ipswich Town vs Tottenham – Portman Road

Ipswich Town ($3.80)

Tottenham ($2.05)

Draw ($3.95)

Ipswich picked up their first win of the season over Tottenham back in December and they will be looking to repeat that feat here. The Tractor Boys are beginning to slip away a touch in their survival bid and they know they need their home form to click into gear if they are to stay up. Spurs meanwhile do look to be turning the corner a touch under Ange Postecoglou, but they know that they have work to do too, in order to salvage their season. This should be a good one, with Spurs potentially having too much quality in key areas.

Betting tip: Tottenham to win the match ($2.05)

Tottenham to win 3-1

Fulham vs Crystal Palace – Craven Cottage

Fulham ($2.10)

Crystal Palace ($3.85)

Draw ($3.50)

Fulham and Crystal Palace meet in what should be an intriguing London derby of sorts, with the Cottagers looking to build on their big win over Nottingham Forest last time out. Marco Silva has this Fulham side going along nicely and a top half finish looks to be firmly within their grasp come the end of the campaign. Crystal Palace meanwhile are struggling a little under Oliver Glasner, losing 2-1 at home to Everton last time out. That said, the Eagles are generally better on the road at the moment and this one could be an entertaining draw on the Thames.

Betting tip: The match to finish as a draw ($3.50)

2-2 Draw

Bournemouth vs Wolves – Vitality Stadium

Bournemouth ($1.65)

Wolves ($5.60)

Draw ($4.33)

High-flying Bournemouth will be looking to keep pace in the race for a top 4 finish, as they take on Wolves down on the south coast. The Cherries are looking like a side capable of playing some sort of European football at the end of the campaign, but they need to kick on over the coming weeks. Wolves are showing signs of progress under Vitor Pereira, but they need to start picking up results more often. This will be much tighter than the odds suggest but Bournemouth are super strong at home, and they should prevail here.

Betting tip: Bournemouth to win the match ($1.65)

Bournemouth to win 2-1

Arsenal vs West Ham United – Emirates Stadium

Arsenal ($1.31)

West Ham United ($12.50)

Draw ($6.00)

There is a real malaise surrounding West Ham currently and the Hammers look to have another tough trip on their hands here, as they take on Arsenal. The Gunners aren’t firing on all cylinders, but they still have plenty of quality players at their disposal and they will be looking to kick on in pursuit of Liverpool at the top of the tree. West Ham meanwhile are languishing above the relegation places and are looking very short on confidence currently. This will be one-way traffic, with Arsenal ready to pick up a comfortable home win.

Betting tip: Arsenal to win the match ($1.31)

Arsenal to win 3-0

Southampton vs Brighton – St Mary’s Stadium

Southampton ($5.75)

Brighton ($1.62)

Draw ($4.40)

Southampton continue to struggle down at the foot of the Premier League table and things shouldn’t get much easier for them here against Brighton. The Saints are on track to drop straight back into the Championship and have struggled to cope with the demands of the Premier League all season. The visiting Seagulls should have plenty of confidence coming into this one, having beaten Chelsea twice in the last two games and they should have the fire power to overcome Southampton here.

Betting tip: Brighton to win the match ($1.62)

Brighton to win 3-1

Aston Villa vs Chelsea – Villa Park

Aston Villa ($2.75)

Chelsea ($2.60)

Draw ($3.75)

Two sides chasing a top 4 finish come the end of the campaign meet here, as Aston Villa host Chelsea. The Villains are ticking along relatively serenely under Unai Emery, but consistency has been lacking from their play and results at times this term. Chelsea meanwhile have really struggled since the turn of the year and are starting to look a little lost under Enzo Maresca. Staying in touch with the sides above them will be key for both here and they may end up settling for a draw

Betting tip: The match to finish as a draw ($3.75)

1-1 Draw

Newcastle United vs Nottingham Forest – St James’s Park

Newcastle United ($1.83)

Nottingham Forest ($4.35)

Draw ($4.00)

Another pair of sides in the top 4 reckoning meet here, as Newcastle host Nottingham Forest in the North East. Toon are going along pretty well under Eddie Howe, but they will want to bounce back from their mauling by Manchester City last weekend. Forest also tasted defeat last time out, losing to Fulham and they need to keep pace if they want to stay in their current position of 3rd come the end of the campaign. This should be a very good one, with Newcastle perhaps most likely to sneak the points at home.

Betting tip: Newcastle United to win the match ($1.83)

Newcastle United to win 2-1

Manchester City vs Liverpool – Etihad Stadium

Manchester City ($2.80)

Liverpool ($2.35)

Draw ($3.90)

Champions Manchester City host champions-elect Liverpool at the Etihad, with both sides looking at this one from different perspectives. City look to be a side in transition this term and are way off the pace in the Premier League, but this one is a big game in relation to their top 4 aspirations. Liverpool meanwhile have the Premier League title well within their grasp, for the second time in 35 years and they don’t look ready to slip up this time around. This should be a good game, and City will play their part, but Liverpool should march on here.

Betting tip: Liverpool to win the match ($2.35)

Liverpool to win 3-2
