Premier League Predictions & Betting Tips 2026/27

Dean Smith Manchester City have won all seven of their Premier League games and were ahead at half-time in four of them, going on to win every one. They led at the break at Crystal Palace before winning 4-1, and were 2-1 up at half-time against Ipswich last time out. Aston Villa have conceded 11 goals in seven games and have yet to win at Villa Park this season. Spreadex’s 31/20 on City leading at the break and winning at full-time is the shorter of our two picks.

Dean Smith Erling Haaland has scored in each of Manchester City’s last six Premier League games and leads the division with eight league goals. Two of those games brought braces, at Crystal Palace and against Ipswich last time out, and he has four braces in nine games in all competitions this season. Aston Villa have kept two clean sheets in seven and shipped four at Brighton on the opening weekend, so a brace for the league’s top scorer at 16/5 is our bigger-price pick.

Dean Smith Jack Rudoni has had at least one shot on target in five of Coventry City’s seven Premier League games and has scored in each of the last two, against Newcastle and Tottenham. He is Coventry’s top scorer with two league goals and has five shots on target, more than any of his team-mates. Fulham have kept only two clean sheets all season and are still waiting for a first away win, so bet365’s 11/10 on Rudoni testing the goalkeeper looks a fair price.

Dean Smith Joshua King has been booked in each of Fulham’s last three Premier League games, against Manchester United, Ipswich and Hull, and he has committed seven fouls this season. He has started all seven league games and is Fulham’s joint top scorer, so he will be at the heart of everything they do in a game between two sides in the bottom four. 10bet’s 11/2 stands out against 7/2 elsewhere and is our bigger-price pick.

Dean Smith Arsenal have kept four clean sheets in seven Premier League games and have conceded just five goals, the joint-fewest in the division. Everton have scored only eight times and have failed to score in two of their last four, including last week’s 2-0 home defeat to Chelsea. Arsenal have won all three of their home league games, so LiveScore Bet’s 5/4 on the Gunners winning to nil makes plenty of sense.

Dean Smith Harrison Armstrong has been booked in three of Everton’s last five Premier League games, against Manchester United, Ipswich and Chelsea, and he has committed more fouls than any of his team-mates. He has started both of Everton’s last two games in the holding role, and a trip to the Emirates means long spells without the ball and Arsenal’s midfield runners to track. LiveScore Bet’s 3/1 on Armstrong picking up a card is our bigger-price pick.

Dean Smith All three of Chelsea’s home league games have produced four goals or more, with a 5-1, a 4-3 and a 2-2 at Stamford Bridge this season. They have scored 17 and conceded 13 in seven games, and even a low-scoring Tottenham side put three past Coventry last time out. With Chelsea’s attack in form and Spurs needing to take the game to them, four goals or more is well on the cards, and BoyleSports price it at 13/10.

Dean Smith Chelsea have won each of their last six Premier League meetings with Tottenham, and four of those wins came by a single goal, including 2-1 at Stamford Bridge in May and 1-0 in north London last November. Two of Chelsea’s four league wins this season have also been by one goal, 3-2 at Fulham and 4-3 against Brighton. Spurs have scored in three of their seven games and won 3-1 last time out, so a one-goal home win at 11/4 is our bigger-price pick.

Dean Smith Manchester United’s attack runs through Bryan Mbeumo, and we like him to find the net at a tempting 6/4. Bournemouth arrive with a dismal record on their travels, having shipped nine goals in three matches on the road, including a five-goal hiding at Chelsea. United have scored six times across three home outings this term, so the service should be there against a defence low on confidence. Mbeumo offers the hosts their sharpest threat running in behind and will fancy this matchup. At 6/4 for a forward this central to Manchester United’s plans, the price appeals.

Dean Smith Matheus Cunha has settled into a creative role for Manchester United, and 16/5 for him to register an assist holds plenty of appeal. The Brazilian drifts between the lines and links the forward play, and against a Bournemouth side that has conceded 13 goals in seven games, the hosts should carve out openings. United scored in four of their last five league meetings with these opponents, and home comfort tends to bring the best from Cunha’s passing. With Manchester United averaging two goals per game at Old Trafford this season, the assists have to come from somewhere, and Cunha is as likely a supplier as anyone.

Dean Smith Liverpool have conceded five times across their three home games this season and are still waiting for a first Anfield win, so the goals look likely to flow at both ends. Brighton travel as the division’s form attack, having racked up 23 goals in seven matches, 10 of them in just three away outings. The fixture history backs the theme too, with four of the last five league meetings between the pair producing three goals or more. With both defences there to be got at and neither side short of attacking intent, four or more goals at 13/10 holds plenty of appeal on Sunday.

Dean Smith Charalampos Kostoulas is one of the attacking options for a Brighton side firing on all cylinders, and the Seagulls have scored in every league game on the way to 23 goals this term. Their work on the road has been especially eye-catching, 10 goals in three trips that took in a 2-0 win at Sunderland and a 5-0 rout at Coventry City. Against a Liverpool defence that has already leaked five times at home, Brighton’s forwards should fancy their chances of getting on the scoresheet. Kostoulas is a lively option at 19/10 given the attacking form his side carry into Anfield.

Dean Smith Brentford carry the bigger attacking threat on the numbers, with 13 goals in seven games, and plenty of that comes from getting wide and working the ball into the box. Hull, unbeaten at home, will not simply sit off, which points to end-to-end spells and a healthy corner count. Both teams have been involved in open, two-end matches lately, the kind that rack up flag-kicks at either end. With Brentford pushing for a first away win and Hull happy to attack in front of their own supporters, we expect the corner tally to climb. Over 9.5 at 8/11 looks a fair starting point.

Dean Smith Igor Thiago has been booked in each of his last four league games, against AFC Bournemouth, Chelsea, Aston Villa and Liverpool, and he has committed two or more fouls in all four. Brentford’s striker has played every minute of their last six games, so he will be leading the line again. Hull have been hard to beat at the MKM, which points to a physical battle for Thiago against their centre-backs. At 7/2 with Sky Bet, he is the value in the cards market.

Dean Smith There is a strong case for goals at Selhurst Park given how both defences have performed. Palace have conceded 17 times in seven matches and were beaten 5-0 at Brighton last time out, while Newcastle have shipped 14 and let in four in each of their last two away games, at Coventry and Leeds. Neither side is keeping things tight at present, and both carry enough in attack to punish sloppy defending. With Palace having scored nine and Newcastle 10 already this term, backing four goals or more at 7/5 looks a sensible way into a contest that should open up.

Dean Smith Crystal Palace against Newcastle has the feel of a stretched, back-and-forth afternoon, and that is exactly the sort of game that tends to produce a steady stream of flag-kicks. Both sides have leaked heavily, Palace shipping 17 goals and Newcastle 14, so neither looks inclined to sit in and protect what they have. With attacks encouraged and defences retreating towards their own box, the deliveries into the area should mount up. William Hill’s 3/1 about more than 12 corners is a tempting price in a fixture that should be anything but cagey.

Dean Smith Everything about this fixture points to a low-event afternoon, and the corner count should follow suit. Sunderland have scored just once in three home games and sit bottom with six goals all season, so sustained pressure has been rare in front of their own fans. Leeds, for their part, are a controlled, low-goal side who have kept two clean sheets and conceded only six times in seven matches. When two cautious teams meet, play tends to funnel through midfield rather than spill into wide areas, and the last two league meetings between these sides finished 0-1 and 1-1. We will take under 9.5 corners at 8/11.

Dean Smith Ethan Ampadu has played every minute of Leeds’ league season, and he has been booked in each of his last two games, against Arsenal and Manchester United. He has also committed at least one foul in five of his seven matches. Sunderland are fighting for their lives at the bottom and will throw bodies forward at home, which should leave Ampadu with plenty of attacks to break up. With Leeds more likely to protect a narrow lead than chase the game, the cynical fouls tend to come at their end of the pitch. At 9/5 with Spreadex, he looks a fair price in the cards market.
