After a thrilling midweek of European football, the Premier League returns for gameweek 13. Chelsea against Arsenal looks the pick of the fixtures, which takes place at 4:30pm on Saturday, live on Sky Sports. Below are our predictions for all 10 matches taking place across the weekend.
Brentford vs Burnley – 3:00 pm Saturday, 29 November
Brentford are in a strong position to secure a victory against Burnley this weekend, primarily due to their formidable home form. The Bees have been excellent at their Gtech Community Stadium, winning four, drawing one, and losing only one of their six home Premier League matches this season. In contrast, Burnley have struggled on their travels, losing five of their six away games. Burnley’s defensive frailties are also a major concern, having lost their last three league matches.
Prediction: Brentford 2-0 Burnley (7/1 with SBK)
Sunderland vs Bournemouth – 3:00pm Saturday, 29 November
A draw is a strong possibility for the Sunderland vs. Bournemouth clash. Both teams have shown a tendency to draw games this season, with Sunderland drawing 3 of their 12 Premier League matches and Bournemouth drawing 4. Furthermore, both sides have been inconsistent, with neither team managing to string together a consistent run of wins. Given their similar league positions and the fact that both teams will be desperate to avoid defeat, a tightly contested match ending in a stalemate is a likely outcome.
Prediction: Sunderland 1-1 Bournemouth (11/2 with SBK)
Man City vs Leeds – 3:00pm Saturday, 29 November
Manchester City are strong favorites to defeat Leeds United this weekend, a prediction supported by both recent form and head-to-head history. City currently sit 3rd in the Premier League, while Leeds are in a precarious 18th position. Historically, Manchester City has dominated this fixture, winning 7 of their last 13 encounters. Furthermore, City boasts an impressive home record this season with 5 wins from 6 matches, scoring an average of 2.42 goals per game at the Etihad.
Prediction: Man City 3-0 Leeds (8/1 with SBK)
Everton vs Newcastle – 5:30pm Saturday, 29 November
Newcastle are one of only three teams in the Premier League this season to have failed to win an away match. The Magpies were beaten in Marseille on Tuesday, and with confidence high in the Everton camp after a win over Manchester United, the hosts look good value for a home win.
Prediction: Everton 2-0 Newcastle (13/1 with SBK)
Tottenham vs Fulham – 8:00pm Saturday, 29 November
Spurs have kept just three clean sheets in their last 40 home league matches. A quite remarkable stat that gives plenty of faith that Fulham can get on the scoresheet.
Prediction: Tottenham 1-1 Fulham (9/1 with SBK)
Crystal Palace vs Man Utd – 12:00pm Sunday, 30 November
Crystal Palace are poised to capitalize on their strong home form and Manchester United’s struggles on the road. The Eagles are unbeaten at Selhurst Park this season, with 2 wins and 4 draws. In stark contrast, Manchester United have won only once away from home, drawing three and losing two of their away fixtures. United’s poor record at Selhurst Park, where they haven’t won since 2020, further strengthens Palace’s position.
Prediction: Crystal Palace 2-1 Man Utd (12/1 with SBK)
West Ham vs Liverpool – 2:05pm Sunday, 30 November
Liverpool are strong favorites to beat West Ham this weekend, a prediction supported by their dominant head-to-head record and West Ham’s struggles. Liverpool have won 86 of the 153 meetings between the two clubs, with West Ham winning only 29. The Reds have also won 14 of the last 18 Premier League encounters. West Ham currently sit 17th in the league, with just one win in their last six away matches.
Prediction: West Ham 1-2 Liverpool (8/1 with SBK)
Aston Villa vs Wolves – 2:05pm Sunday, 30 November
Aston Villa have won six of their last seven Premier League games (L1), a run that saw them move from 18th to 4th in the Premier League table. Meanwhile, Wolves are winless in their last 16 Premier League games (D3 L13), losing the last five in a row.
Prediction: Aston Villa 3-0 Wolves (11/1 with SBK)
Nottingham Forest vs Brighton – 2:05pm Sunday, 30 November
No team has seen a high percentage of their matches feature both teams scoring this season than Brighton. This bet has cashed in 75% of their league outings. Value here due to both teams’ high shot output and leaky defences. BTTS has landed in recent H2Hs.
Prediction: Nottingham Forest 1-1 Brighton (11/2 with SBK)
Chelsea vs Arsenal – 4:30pm Sunday, 30 November
Arsenal are in a strong position to defeat Chelsea this weekend, driven by their impressive home form and Chelsea’s struggles on the road. The Gunners have been formidable at the Emirates, winning five of their six home league games this season. In contrast, Chelsea have been poor away from Stamford Bridge, losing four of their six away matches. Arsenal’s superior goal difference also highlights their better overall performance, suggesting they have the quality to overcome a struggling Chelsea side.
Prediction: Chelsea 0-1 Arsenal (9/1 with SBK)
