Premier League Predictions: Wolves can frustrate the Toffees

Nick is pulling further ahead in our Premier League predictions leaderboard thanks to two correct scores in our last batch of scoreline picks. Myself and Simon will be hoping for storming selections when the midweek action for Gameweek 21 gets underway.

Find our latest predictions below.

West Ham vs Forest - 1-2 @ 8/1

There are already rumours circulating that Nuno Espirito Santo faces the sack at West Ham United if he can't beat the club he was fired from, Nottingham Forest, on Tuesday.

The Irons were the first team to lose to Wolves in the league this season and the Hammers are now winless in nine league outings - losing five of them.

Forest are in a slump themselves, with four defeats on the spin but I think the Tricky Trees may be able to end their rut because the toxic atmosphere at West Ham should present them with a good opportunity to get back to winning ways.

Nick: 1-2

Simon: 0-2

Bournemouth vs Spurs - 2-1 @ 15/2

AFC Bournemouth showed spirit in their defeat at home to Arsenal. The Cherries scored twice, including scoring the opening goal, which was gifted to them by the Gunners.

Bournemouth will be hoping that they can end their 11-game winless run in the top flight when they host Tottenham Hotspur. The visitors have won just one of their last five Premier League fixtures and performances have been inconsistent throughout the campaign.

The hosts were able to win the reverse fixture earlier in the season and I do see them being able to nick it on home soil on this occasion.

Nick: 3-1

Simon: 1-2

Premier League Odds

Brentford vs Sunderland - 2-1 @ 15/2

Keith Andrews has done a remarkable job at Brentford this term after a summer of high-profile exits. The Bees sit seventh in the standings at the time of writing off the back of a 4-2 victory at Everton.

Their next opponents are Sunderland, who make the trip to west London. The Black Cats are behind the Bees on goal difference but head into this clash unbeaten in their past five games.

They have drawn four on the bounce coming into this but they are up against a team with one of the best home records in the division. Brentford win.

Nick: 2-2

Simon: 1-1

Crystal Palace vs Villa - 1-2 @ 8/1

Crystal Palace have been getting the better of Aston Villa in recent meetings between the two clubs but the good news for the Villans heading to Selhurst Park is that there will be no Ismaila Sarr for the hosts.

He scored against them in last season's FA Cup semi-final, before wrapping up a 3-0 victory in the league at Villa Park back in August. He will be a big loss for the hosts here, who have now lost four of their last five league fixtures.

Villa have won 13 of their previous 15 matches in the top flight and I think they will collect the three points here.

Nick: 1-1

Simon: 0-2

Everton vs Wolves - 1-1 @ 6/1

For the second time this season, Everton have suffered a heavy defeat on home soil in the Premier League, so they may be a little shaken heading into their next home game, which comes against Wolves.

After grabbing their first league win of the campaign, the Old Gold are now two games unbeaten and will head to Merseyside with confidence they have not yet had in 2025/26.

I think they might be good enough to earn another hard-fought point here.

Nick: 2-1

Simon: 2-0

Fulham vs Chelsea - 2-2 @ 12/1

Chelsea were able to snatch a late point at Manchester City on Sunday and they will look to build on that when making the short trip to face rivals Fulham next.

As the Blues continue to sort out Enzo Maresca's replacement, Fulham will look to extend their unbeaten run to six matches in the Premier League. The Cottagers have a decent record on home turf and I think they may limit Chelsea to a share of the spoils again, having themselves drawn with Liverpool last time out.

Nick: 2-1

Simon: 0-1

Man City vs Brighton - 3-1 @ 9/1

Pep Guardiola looked furious after his side dropped two points against Chelsea. His side were punished for not taking their chances, so this will likely be emphasised ahead of their home clash with Brighton & Hove Albion.

The Seagulls were victors against struggling Burnley last time out but their inconsistent form does not bode well for them heading to the Etihad. I am predicting a rather comfortable victory for the Citizens but with key defender Josko Gvardiol out, the visitors can get in on the action.

Nick: 2-2

Simon: 2-2

Today's Football Fixtures

Burnley vs Man United - 1-2 @ 7/1

Ruben Amorim has left the building and Manchester United are on yet another manager hunt. Darren Fletcher is set to oversee first-team affairs for the foreseeable future but some reports are suggesting he could have the gig until the end of the season.

With one win in five, he begins his reign with a tough trip to Burnley, whom they narrowly defeated at Old Trafford back in August. The Clarets are winless in 11 fixtures in the top flight and I do think the Red Devils should have enough to come away with a victory here.

Nick: 1-3

Simon: 0-2

Newcastle vs Leeds - 2-2 @ 14/1

Two wins on the spin will have lifted the mood at Newcastle United but they face a tough test at home as they face Leeds United at St. James' Park. Daniel Farke and his players are on a seven-game unbeaten run in the league (five draws) and at the moment they are proving very difficult to beat.

I think the Whites might be good for another point here, and I am fancying an entertaining draw to unfold on Tyneside.

Nick: 4-2

Simon: 1-1

Football Odds

Arsenal vs Liverpool - 3-1 @ 11/1

Back in August, Liverpool beat Arsenal 1-0 at Anfield which felt like a huge moment, however early, in the title race. A lot has changed since then and Arsenal are in the driving seat, sitting six points clear at the summit.

The pair meet at the Emirates with the Gunners on a five-game winning streak, bouncing back superbly from their defeat at Villa in early December. Liverpool may be unbeaten in eight games in the top flight, but it seems that there is some discontent in the Reds' dressing room.

One team will be definitely fired up for this one and given their home record, I can't see anything other than an Arsenal win.

Nick: 3-0

Simon: 2-0
