EPL featured matches – Gameweek 16
Arsenal’s lead at the top of the EPL was cut to two points after the London side lost 2-1 away to Aston Villa at the weekend. Manchester City eased to a 3-0 win at home to Sunderland to close in on the leaders, whilst that win for the Villans was enough to take them into third place.
Crystal Palace moved above Chelsea into fourth place, whilst Manchester United’s win on Monday night took the Red Devils into the top six.
Here are the predictions for our chosen games:
EPL predictions: Chelsea vs Everton
13thDecember, 15:00 GMT
A single point separates these two sides in the current EPL standings, although they head into this match in very different runs of form.
Chelsea are currently on a four-match winless run and have taken just one point from their previous three EPL matches. They followed that domestic run with a 2-1 loss away to Atalanta in the Champions League on Tuesday. Enzo Maresca has come under scrutiny for the amount of changes he is making to his starting XI in each game, although one certainty is that the suspended Moises Caicedo will only be a spectator for this game.
Best bets: Chelsea – Everton | EPL
- Chelsea to Win + Both Teams to Score @3.48
- Chelsea to Lead at Half Time @2.23
- Cole Palmer to Score at Any Time @2.55
Everton have won four of their previous five Premier League matches to move into seventh place in the current table. The Toffees kept a clean sheet in each of those four victories; however, the one defeat in that sequence was a heavy 4-1 loss at home to Newcastle.
If Everton are to take all three points in this match, they will have to overcome a very long winless run in this fixture. Chelsea are unbeaten in their last 30 Premier League meetings against Everton at Stamford Bridge (W17, D13), among which a 6-0 victory from two seasons ago can be found.
EPL Latest Odds: Liverpool vs Brighton
13thDecember, 15:00 GMT
Liverpool got back to winning ways with a 1-0 away win against Inter in the Champions League on Tuesday, despite an unhappy Mo Salah being left out of the squad. However, if the Reds are to make any sort of challenge to retain their EPL title, Arne Slot’s side must find some consistency in the league. Can Liverpool rebuild Anfield into the fortress it once was after failing to win any of their previous three home matches, which included two defeats by a three-goal margin?
Premier League odds selection: Liverpool – Brighton | EPL
- Liverpool to Win + Both Teams to Score @2.89
- Liverpool to Win by One Goal @3.82
- Over 10.5 Match Corners @2.00
Brighton’s inconsistent start to the season continued with a 1-1 draw at home to struggling West Ham, in which the Seagulls needed an injury time leveller to take a point. That followed a 4-3 home defeat against Aston Villa, in which Brighton had taken a 2-0 lead. The Seagulls have lost just one of their previous five away matches in the EPL and have kept a clean sheet in the last two of those games.
This fixture normally produces a few goals, as each of their last eight encounters in all competitions have seen three or more goals scored. Their last four meetings at Anfield have resulted in two 2-1 home wins, as well as 2-2 and 3-3 draws,
PL betting tips: Crystal Palace vs Manchester City
14thDecember, 14:00 GMT
Crystal Palace moved into fourth place in the EPL table after a late goal gave them a 2-1 win away to Fulham in the last matchday. However, the Eagles have been dropping points at Selhurst Park. Despite only losing once at home in the EPL this season, four of Palace’s seven home matches have ended all square.
Selected bets: Crystal Palace – Manchester City | EPL
- Match to Be Drawn @3.92
- Both Teams to Score in the 2nd Half @2.89
- Over 3.5 Match Goals @2.61
Three successive EPL wins have seen Manchester City close the gap to Arsenal, at the top of the Premier League table, to two points. City have scored 11 times across those three victories, despite Erling Haaland having a quiet spell by his own high standards, with just one goal amongst those 11. The Norwegian was also on the scoresheet on Wednesday, when he netted a penalty as the Cityzens won 2-1 away to Real Madrid in the Champions League.
These sides previously met in last year’s FA Cup final, in which Palace were victorious 1-0. Prior to that, City had been dominant in this fixture. The last time the Eagles defeated Manchester City at home was in 2015. In the 20 EPL meetings since then, Palace have won twice (both at the Etihad), whilst the Cityzens have had 13 victories. Five matches have been drawn.
All prices are correct at the time of writing but are subject to change thereafter.

Who are the favourites to win the Premier League 2025/26?
Article updated 14th November 2025
At the start of the season, the betting suggested that four teams had a realistic chance of finishing the season as Premier League champions. Heading into the final international break of 2025, the latest odds indicate that it is more likely to be a two-horse race between Arsenal and Manchester City.
Arsenal completed a hat-trick of runners-up finishes in the EPL in 2024/25. Although, last season, unlike the previous two, they rarely looked like they would claim the title. Mikel Arteta is now in his seventh season as Arsenal manager and must be wondering if he will finally get his hands on the Premier League trophy with the Gunners.
After injuries hit the Gunners last season, Arteta will hope that history does not repeat itself. Kai Havertz’s injury on the opening day of the season has left him on the sidelines since then, whilst Martin Ødegaard and Noni Madueke have all missed large parts of the season already.
Last season, Manchester City finished outside the top two in the Premier League for the first time in eight seasons. The Community Shield was the only trophy City won in 2024/25, and the season featured five consecutive defeats for the first time in Pep Guardiola’s managerial career at any club. However, Erling Haaland has been prolific for club and country since the start of this season and, providing he stays injury free, City will not be short of goals in their title challenge.
Arne Slot was not fazed by taking over from the popular Jürgen Klopp at Liverpool and, in his first managerial role outside of his home country, the Dutchman led the Reds to a convincing EPL title last season, eventually winning the league with a 10-point margin over their nearest challengers.
However, this season is proving a lot more testing for Liverpool. Their defeat against Manchester City on Matchday 11 was their fifth league loss of the season, which is already one more than in the whole of last season. Alexander Isak is still looking for his first league goal, and Slot will hope the Swedish striker can begin to repay some of his big price tag soon.
Chelsea started the season full of hope after claiming the Club World Cup trophy for the second time in the summer. However, the Blues have been inconsistent so far this season and have had to make do without Cole Palmer since late September, as their star man is trying to overcome a series of niggling injuries. However, 18-year-old Estêvão Willian has made a big impact in his first season at Chelsea, and the Brazilian looks a potential matchwinner every time he enters the pitch.
Premier League top six predictions 2025/26
Article updated 14th November 2025
Manchester United have shown improved form of late, since their dreadful EPL campaign last season. The Red Devils have already defeated both Chelsea and Liverpool so far this season, although they still look unconvincing in defence. Casemiro has found a new lease of life this campaign, but can the 33-year-old sustain that level for a whole season?
Newcastle have found this season a struggle so far and are currently in the bottom half of the table. Alexander Isak, who found the net 23 times in the EPL last season, has proved a big loss for the Magpies, and that was compounded by the injury suffered by new signing Yoane Wissa when he was on international duty in September, which has meant that the Congolese striker is yet to make his Newcastle debut.
After a winless run of five matches at the start of this season, Aston Villa recovered to move into the top six in the table. That improved form saw home wins over Manchester City and Bournemouth, although the Villans will need to improve their away form to sustain a challenge for a Champions League place.
Thomas Frank has steadied the ship at Tottenham after the Londoners finished just one place above the relegation places last season. Spurs will be hoping that striker Dominic Solanke will be fit to return soon, after managing just 33 league minutes on the pitch before the November international break this season.
Premier League teams predicted to finish mid-table 2025/26
Article updated 14th November 2025
It has been a tumultuous start to the season for Nottingham Forest, with the Tricky Trees already on their third manager. Nuno Espírito Santo departed just three matches into the new season, whilst Ex-Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou lasted just 39 days after failing to win a single match. Sean Dyche was then appointed in the managerial role in late October, and his side is still struggling in the relegation places. Can the wily Englishman take Forest into mid-table safety?
Fabian Hürzeler will have been relatively pleased with his first season as Brighton manager, having seen his side finish in eighth position. This season, the Seagulls are again hovering around the mid-table places, despite already having beaten Manchester City and Chelsea.
Oliver Glasner enjoyed his first full season in charge of Crystal Palace, having earned the Eagles some silverware by winning the FA Cup. Palace added to their trophy cabinet by defeating Liverpool in this season’s Community Shield. With Marc Guehi remaining at the club after seeing a summer transfer move collapse, Palace are proving hard to beat but will need to turn some draws into victories if they are to challenge for a top-six place.
In January, David Moyes returned to Everton for a second spell as manager after a 12-year gap. Taking over when they were 19th in the table, Moyes made them defensively solid as they moved clear of relegation to end in 13th place. This season, Everton moved to the Hill Dickinson Stadium, after 133 years playing at Goodison Park, but the Toffees will need one of their currently misfiring strikers, Beto and Thierno Barry, to start finding the net if they are to climb above mid-table.
Bournemouth bettered their best-ever Premier League total when they gained 56 points and a top-half finish in manager Andoni Iraola’s second season on the South Coast in 2024/25. The popular Spaniard has been mentioned on several occasions when managerial roles have become available, and the Cherries started this season looking like they could better that points total again after enjoying an eight-match unbeaten run following an opening day defeat against Liverpool. However, successive defeats at the start of November slowed their progress.
Brentford successfully negotiated another mid-table finish in the EPL last season, although with top scorer Bryan Mbeumo departing for Manchester United and fellow striker Yoane Wissa moving to Newcastle, the Bees would have been wondering where the goals will come from this season. So far, Brazilian Igor Thiago has stepped up by contributing eight goals from 11 starts prior to the November international break. Keith Andrews, in his first season as a first team manager, will be quite pleased to see his side hovering around mid-table.
With all three promoted sides from the 2023/24 season having been relegated immediately, it has surprised many pundits that Sunderland look like being the team to buck that trend this season. The Black Cats were the biggest spenders of the promoted sides and, as well as some big-money signings, bringing in the experience of Granit Xhaka is looking like a masterstroke. Given Sunderland finished 24 points behind Leeds and Burnley in last season’s Championship table, any finish in the top half of the EPL would exceed many of the pre-season predictions.
Predictions for Premier League relegation 2025/26
Article updated 14th November 2025
In his first managerial role since a turbulent six months at Chelsea, Graham Potter took over at West Ham half-way through last season. However, he made an inauspicious start in East London and had won just five of his 19 matches by the end of last season. After a poor start to this season, Potter was shown the door before the end of September, with Nuno Espírito Santo taking over the reins as Hammers boss. Last season’s defensive woes have not improved so far this season, although successive wins at the start of November broke a six-match winless streak and gave fans hope that Nuno could drag his side out of the relegation battle.
Fulham will play their fourth successive season in the EPL for the first time since being relegated in 2014, as their three previous seasons have all ended in mid-table finishes. The Cottagers’ in-demand manager, Marco Silva, will know that his team’s struggles away from home currently leave them towards the bottom of the table, and a mid-season finish would appear to be the best of their possible outcomes this season.
Since regaining their top-flight status in 2018 and finishing seventh in the subsequent two seasons, Wolves have then finished between 10th and 16th in each of the last five campaigns. However, by mid-November, Wolves found themselves several points adrift at the bottom of the table and still looking for their first EPL victory of the season. That prompted a change in the managerial position, with Vitor Pereira being replaced by Rob Edwards, who returns to the club he first joined as a player almost twenty years earlier.
Leeds United initially looked the more likely of the three promoted sides to steer clear of a relegation fight, but manager Daniel Farke is already finding himself coming under pressure after an inauspicious start to this season. The German manager also previously struggled with Norwich, when he took them to the Premier League, as they finished bottom on two occasions. Unless results improve, it could be the Whites who are the next EPL team to dismiss their manager.
Burnley find themselves back in the top-flight after a one-season stay in the EPL in 2023/24. Last season was Scott Parker’s first in charge of the Clarets, and he has a big job on his hands if they are to avoid heading straight back down. A worry for the Clarets is that their latest two wins were both against fellow strugglers, Leeds and Wolves, and they are not picking up any points against the better teams.

Who qualified for the 2025/26 Champions League?
In total, England will have six teams playing in next season’s Champions League.
The top five teams in the final EPL table, Liverpool, Arsenal, Manchester City, Chelsea and Newcastle, have qualified based on their league position. Tottenham Hotspur are the sixth team to qualify, as a result of their win in last season’s Europa League, which saw them gain direct entry into the UCL. That title was won despite an awful league season in which the North London side finished in 17th position, just one place above the relegation places. Despite Ange Postecoglou seeing his side earn a Champions League place, the poor league form was enough to see the charismatic Australian relieved of his duties in early June.
Who qualified for the 2025/26 Europa League?
Aston Villa’s sixth-place finish was enough to gain a place in next season’s Europa League. Crystal Palace were set to join them, after the South London club won the FA Cup. However, Palace were demoted to the Conference League due to rules about multi-club ownership in the same competition because of their links to Lyon. Their place was awarded to Nottingham Forest, who had originally qualified for the UEFA Conference League.
Who qualified for the 2025/26 Conference League?
Despite spending a large part of the season in one of the Champions League places, a stuttering end to the campaign for Nottingham Forest saw the Tricky Trees drop into seventh place and a place in next season’s Conference League.
However, Forest now find themselves in the Europa League after Crystal Palace were demoted from that tournament to the Conference League due to rules about multi-club ownership.
Despite the disappointment of missing out of the Europa League, Palace will hope to emulate Chelsea and bring the trophy back to British soil for the third time in the competition’s five-year history.
Which teams were relegated to the Championship?
The three promoted teams from the previous season all made an instant return to the Championship, emphasising an ever-increasing gap between the top two divisions.
Southampton set a new unwanted record as they became the first ever Premier League side to have relegation confirmed with seven matches of the season still to play. Their final tally of 12 points was the second lowest in Premier League history. Joining the Saints in an instant return were Ipswich Town and Leicester City, who both knew their destiny with several matches still to play.
Which teams were promoted from the Championship?
Burnley were the only side from the trio of relegated clubs from the 2023/24 EPL season to bounce back at the first attempt. They finished in second place in the 2024/25 Championship table, level with Leeds on points but with an inferior goal difference. Sunderland were the third side to be promoted after defeating Sheffield United in the playoff final, despite finishing 14 points behind the Blades in the regular season.
