Premier League Predictions: De Zerbi to receive no favours from the Seagulls

Last week's Premier League predictions weren't terrible, but not amazing. Nick and Simon both had a correct score each, while I solely relied on my points for results. Nick still has a cushion at the top of the leaderboard as we gear up for gameweek 33. 

Check out our latest picks below.

Brentford 2-1 Fulham @ 15/2

Brentford will look to end their drawing streak in the Premier League on Sunday when they welcome Fulham to the Gtech Community Stadium. The Bees have played out four consecutive stalemates.

They thought they had ended it last time out, only for Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall to snatch an equaliser for Everton in the 91st minute. Fulham were defeated at Liverpool last weekend, so Brentford may look to seize on the opportunity in front of them.

I'm backing a narrow home win.

Nick: 2-1

Simon: 1-1

Leeds 2-0 Wolves @ 7/1

Not many people saw Leeds stunning Manchester United on Monday night, but the Whites have given themselves a huge boost in their quest for survival. They are six points clear of Tottenham Hotspur in 18th, and up next for Leeds is a home clash against Wolves.

The Old Gold are winless in two and they were thrashed 4-0 at West Ham United in their last outing. Leeds can take another big step closer to safety here.

Nick: 3-1

Simon: 2-0

Premier League Odds

Newcastle 1-2 Bournemouth @ 10/1

AFC Bournemouth put a dent in Arsenal's title charge last weekend as they won 2-1 at the Emirates. The Cherries will be seeking more away day success when they head to St. James' Park to face Newcastle United on Saturday.

The Magpies have suffered back-to-back defeats against Sunderland and Crystal Palace in the top flight, and I predict a third loss will be inflicted at the weekend.

Nick: 1-2

Simon: 2-2

Spurs 1-2 Brighton @ 8/1

Roberto De Zerbi leads Tottenham against his old side Brighton on Saturday in north London. His Lilywhites reign began with a defeat at Sunderland, marking 14 fixtures without a victory in the top flight.

The Seagulls head here on the back of a three-game winning streak in the league, so I fancy them to come out on top here.

Nick: 2-3

Simon: 2-1

Chelsea 2-2 Man United @ 10/1

After losing three games on the bounce in the league, Chelsea are in need of some respite having dropped to sixth in the standings. They host Manchester United on Saturday, with the Red Devils looking to respond to a surprising home defeat to Leeds.

Neither side is in the best of form, so a draw does seem likely.

Nick: 2-1

Simon: 1-3

Villa 1-1 Sunderland @ 7/1

Aston Villa have a seven-point cushion inside the top five of the Premier League but the Villans have won just one of their past five outings. They host Sunderland on Sunday, with the Black Cats seeking a third straight success in the top flight.

The visitors are very organised defensively and I think they are more than capable of picking up a point here.

Nick: 2-1

Simon: 1-0

Everton 1-1 Liverpool @ 6/1

It's Merseyside derby time, and it's the first men's edition to be held at the Hill Dickinson Stadium. Liverpool won the reverse fixture 2-1 back in September but I think the best they can hope for on Sunday is a point. Everton have won their previous two home games in the league and I think David Moyes can inspire them to a result against their fierce rivals.

Nick: 0-0

Simon: 1-0

Today's Football Fixtures

Forest 2-0 Burnley @ 7/1

Nottingham Forest are three points clear of the relegation zone coming into their tussle with Burnley at the City Ground. The Clarets have lost four of their last five games in the Premier League, including their previous two.

Home win for me.

Nick: 2-1

Simon: 3-0

Man City 2-1 Arsenal @ 7/1

Are Arsenal crumbling? After a pitiful effort against Bournemouth, six points separate them from Manchester City in second. The Gunners travel to face the Citizens in Sunday's showcase and I think City are locked in for the final month of the campaign.

A win here pulls them three points closer with a game in hand to play against strugglers Burnley in midweek. This week is crucial for Arsenal's title hopes but I don't think they will rise to the occasion.

Nick: 1-1

Simon: 3-0

Football Odds

Palace 2-2 West Ham @ 14/1

Crystal Palace and West Ham meet at Selhurst Park on Monday with both sides looking to build on victories. The Eagles were 2-1 winners against Newcastle last weekend, while the visitors thrashed Wolves in their latest match.

The Irons are two points clear of the drop zone and they have still a way to go to settle their nerves. But I do think they are capable of picking a point closer to their goal here.

Nick: 1-1

Simon: 1-2
