Premier League Predictions: Can you Beat Fred for £5,000 this week?

I had a pretty solid week last week, with four out of six predictions coming in amid the European action. Let’s take a look at what GW 36 brings, as teams battle it out for a coveted top-five spot, in the last few weeks of the season.

Premier League Odds

Will Fulham (h) beat Everton (a)? - NO

With the season drawing to a close and neither team having much to play for, I expect this to be a draw, as it has been in four of the last six meetings in all competitions. In fact, in five of those games, neither side have managed to score more than one goal, with the exception coming in a 3-1 victory to Fulham away from home in the 2022/23 season. It's a No for me.

Will there be over 9.5 corners in the Wolves (h) v Brighton (a) match? - YES

Wolves and Brighton were two clubs with very different agendas six games ago. Wolves were battling relegation, and Brighton were pushing for Europe. Going into game week 36, they sit 13th and 10th, respectively. The two have played four times in 2024, with over 9.5 corners on three occasions. The attacking talents of Cunha, Mitoma, Pedro, and Strand Larsen can create chances, but will this translate into corners? I think so, Yes.

Will there be over 42.5 booking points in the Bournemouth (h) v Villa (a) match? -YES

It's seventh vs eighth in the race for a European spot, albeit with a seven-point gap, but this won't stop Bournemouth from going all out. This really is a game that neither side can afford to lose, and I expect them to play like that. Consider that and that four of the last five meetings have seen over 42.5 booking points, including THIRTEEN in the previous meeting this season, and it looks very likely. I have to say Yes.

Will Newcastle (h) score over 1.5 goals against Chelsea (a)? - YES

We've got another high-stakes matchup at the end of the season here with both sides needing points, arguably all three of them. I think Chelsea were fortunate to run into a Liverpool side who have already won the title, and the 3-1 scoreline probably reflected that. Newcastle have scored over 1.5 on 10 occasions at home this season, and I think there are goals in this one at St James' Park, Yes.

Will Nottingham Forest (h) be winning against Leicester (a) at half-time? - YES

Are the wheels starting to come off for Forest? After looking like a shoo-in for a Champions League spot, they're now teetering on the edge in 6th place. Nuno's men

must be looking at this Leicester game as the best opportunity to pick up vital points. On the other hand, Leicester will just be hoping this season can end without any further heavy defeats. I expect Forest to start fast, take the lead, and keep it. I'll say Yes.

Will Liverpool (h) beat Arsenal (a)? - NO

What a game this could have been… Arsenal still need a couple of points to ensure Champions League qualification and will be looking to make sure the unthinkable doesn't happen. Liverpool will want to win and set a precedent for next season. I think it'll be tight and combative and probably a draw. I think this one is a No.
