This Weekend’s Premier League Predictions (From Sat 17th January – Monday 19th January 2026)
The English Premier League gameweek 22 kicks off after the cup games, and we have already analyzed the top possible outcomes in all EPL games, based on watching their past performances and coaching tactics. Below are our EPL predictions this midweek:
Manchester United vs Manchester City
Main Tip: Over 2.5 Goals
The Manchester Derby kicks off as both teams are currently in similar form. Both teams have drawn their last 3 games in the EPL, and it looks like City is letting the EPL title chase slip from their hands.
We expect over 2.5 goals in this game as both teams have been bad defensively, plus City would be without 2 fresh injuries (first team defenders). City, however, has added Samenyo to their attacking depth. A goal-fest looks to be on the card for this game.
Other Tips:
- Over 21.5 Shots
- Over 2.5 Cards
- Over 7.5 Corner Kicks
Chelsea vs Brentford
Main Tip: Both Teams to Score
Chelsea has been in bad shape in their last 5 games, as they have lost 2 and drawn 3 of their last 5 games. Brentford are in great form, winning 4 of their last 5 games, with 1 ending in a draw.
Chelsea was in a crisis off-pitch as their manager was let go and they have hired a new manager, but we don’t know if he will instantly start getting results.
Both teams have scored in each of Chelsea’s last 5 games, and we expect a similar occurrence in this game. Both teams are good going forward, and Chelsea’s defense is currently poor at the moment.
Other Tips:
- Over 7.5 Corner Kicks
- Over 21.5 Shots
- Over 2.5 Goals
Leeds vs Fulham
Main Tip: Both Teams to Score
Leeds have not won any of their last 4 games in the league, and they lost 4-3 to Newcastle in their last EPL game. Fulham, on the other hand, is currently unbeaten in its last 5 games, winning 3 of those games.
We expect both teams to score in this game because Fulham’s last 3 games and Leeds’ last 2 games have all seen both teams scoring.
Other Tips:
- Over 2.5 Cards
- Over 7.5 Corner kicks
- Over 33.5 Throw-ins
Liverpool vs Burnley
Main Tip: Home to Win
Liverpool have been in a mixed positive form in recent games. They have drawn their last 3 EPL games, but won 2 of their last 5 games. Burnley, on the other hand, have been very poor, losing 2 of their last 5 games and drawing 3.
We expect Liverpool to win this game with ease, as this game can help them get into the top 4. Also, we are expecting at least 3 goals in this game.
Other Tips:
- Over 2.5 Goals
- Home – Over 12.5 Shots
- Over 7.5 Corner Kicks
Sunderland vs Crystal Palace
Main Tip: Home to Win or Draw
Both teams are in similar form currently and as they have each failed to win any of their last 5 games in the EPL. However, Sunderland only lost 1of their last 5 games while Crystal Palace have lost 3.
Sunderland has been hard to beat, and we expect them not to lose this game, especially as Crystal Palace is currently very poor defensively at the moment.
Other Tips:
- Over 32.5 Throw-ins
- Over 21.5 Shots
- Over 2.5 Cards
Tottenham vs West Ham
Main Tip: Both Teams to Score
Tottenham have won just 1 of their last 5 EPL games, which indicates how bad they are right now. They have lost 2 and drawn 2 too. However, West Ham is the worst. They have lost 4 of their last 5 games and managed a draw against Brighton.
We expect both teams to score in this game because this outcome has been played in Tottenham’s 3 of their last 5 games and West Ham’s 2 of their last 5.
Other Tips:
- Over 21.5 Shots
- Over 7.5 Corners
- Over 2.5 Goals
Nottingham Forest vs Arsenal
Main Tip: Over 2.5 Goals
Nottingham Forest will be facing the determined league leaders, The Gunners. While we expect Arsenal to win this game, over 2.5 goals looks like a safer bet in this game.
There have been over 2.5 goals scored in 3 of each of the team’s last 5 EPL games.
Other Tips:
- Away to Win
- Away Over 12.5 Shots
- Over 7.5 Corners
Wolves vs Newcastle United
Main Tip: Over 2.5 Goals
While Wolves have been the worst team in the EPL this season, they are unbeaten in their last 3 games, winning one. Newcastle have won their last 3 games, scoring at least 2 goals.
We expect at least 3 goals in this game as over 2.5 goals have been scored in 3 of Newcastle’s last 5 games. Also, Wolves have scored in their last 4 games, and we expect them to find the net in this game.
Other Tips:
- Both Teams to Score
- Over 23.5 Shots
- Over 2.5 Cards
Aston Villa Vs Everton
Main Tip: Home to Win
Aston Villa are hyped up at the moment as they are in good form. However, they lost to Arsenal and drew with Crystal Palace. Everton, on the other hand, has been very poor in recent games, winning just 1 of their last 5 games. Villa is playing at home and still has a shot at stopping Arsenal from winning the league. We expect them to win this game against a poor Everton.
Other Tips:
- Over 2.5 Cards
- Over 7.5 Corner kicks
- Over 21.5 Shots
Brighton Vs Bournemouth
Main Tip: Over 2.5 Goals
Both teams are in similar form as they have won just 1 of their last 5 games in the EPL. Brighton are unbeaten in their last 3 games, while Bournemouth has been in a mixed form and just lost key player Antoine Semenyo to Manchester City.
Nevertheless, we expect goals in this fixture as there have been over 2.5 goals in Bournemouth’s last 4 games.
Other Tips:
- Both Teams to Score
- Over 22.5 Shots
- Over 2.5 Cards
