2025-26 Premier League Predictions Week 16

SAT 3PM – CHELSEA v EVERTON

Stats: Everton last won at Chelsea in 1994 and since then it has been 22 losses and 14 draws. Five of the last six times Everton have scored a goal in a match at Chelsea they have got a point. This will be Everton’s first game away to a London club this season.

Verdict: The last time Everton won at Chelsea the internet barely existed.

Prediction: Chelsea 2 Everton 0

 

SAT 3PM – LIVERPOOL v BRIGHTON

Stats: Brighton are W2 D1 L1 v big six clubs this season. Brighton have only ever won once at Liverpool on a Saturday in 1982. Overall it is W8 D5 L1 for Liverpool. Brighton (and Man Utd) have the highest % of games where both teams score – 11/15.

Verdict: Maybe it can get worse for Liverpool.

Prediction: Liverpool 2 Brighton 2

 

SAT 5:30PM – BURNLEY v FULHAM

Stats: Fulham haven’t won at Burnley since 1951, it has been 26 losses and eight draws since. At either ground Burnley are W3 D2 over the last five games. Burnley come into this game on a run of six straight losses, same as Wolves.

Verdict: How this isn’t kicking off at 3pm is a wonder.

Prediction: Burnley 1 Fulham 0

 

SAT 8PM – ARSENAL v WOLVES

Stats: Despite only having two draws in their 15 games so far, Wolves’ expected goals against is better than West Ham and Burnley. Arsenal have won eight in a row v Wolves, and Wolves have scored in two of those games. Arsenal are also unbeaten at home on a Saturday v Wolves in the last eight meetings (w6 D2 for Arsenal). One of Wolves’ two points this season have come against a big six club.

Verdict: Is this the most one-sided game of the season? 

Prediction: Arsenal 5 Wolves 0

 

SUN 2PM – CRYSTAL PALACE v MAN CITY

Stats: Crystal Palace are W1 D1 L2 v big six clubs this season. Man City are W2 D1 away to London clubs. Crystal Palace hold their own against Man City over the past four seasons with their record W1 D3 L4. Although, Crystal Palace’s record v Man City is better away than home. At home they haven’t won since 2015 with eight losses and three draws since.

Verdict: A top four clash with lots of potential for entertainment. 

Prediction: Crystal Palace 0 Man City 3

 

SUN 2PM – NOTTINGHAM FOREST v TOTTENHAM

Stats: Nottingham Forest have won the last two games v Spurs. Tottenham have won the last two on a Sunday. 

Verdict: At least one of these clubs has gone better since Ange left.

Prediction: Nottingham Forest 1 Spurs 1

 

SUN 2PM – SUNDERLAND v NEWCASTLE

Stats: Sunderland have won the last three games at home to Newcastle on a Sunday. Overall Sunderland have a W3 D5 L2 record at home to Newcastle on a Sunday. At either ground on a Sunday, Sunderland are undefeated in nine games v Newcastle, winning five.

Verdict: How the first Tyne-Wear derby isn’t the premium 4:30pm kick off beats us. Especially when the alternative is Brentford-Leeds.

Prediction: Sunderland 1 Newcastle 1

 

SUN 2PM – WEST HAM v ASTON VILLA

Stats: Aston Villa have the best Sunday record this season at 2.44 points per game coming from W7 D1 L1. Aston Villa W2 D3 are unbeaten in their last five v West Ham, but prior to that they had lost five in a row. Five of the six games between these sides at West Ham on a Sunday have ended in a draw.

Verdict: Can the form team of the league push for a title after their big win against Arsenal last weekend. If they can’t beat out-of-sorts West Ham, no.

Prediction: West Ham 1 Aston Villa 3

 

SUN 4:30PM – BRENTFORD v LEEDS

Stats: Leeds are the only pointless team on a Sunday this season. Three of the last four games between these sides have ended in a draw. Both Sudnay meetings between these sides ended in a draw. Brentford (W8 D4) are unbeaten in their last 12 home games v Leeds.

Verdict: Leeds look like they have turned the corner, which is bad news for teams like Brentford who are barely better.

Prediction: Brentford 1 Leeds 2

 

MONDAY 8PM – MAN UTD v BOURNEMOUTH

Stats: Bournemouth (W2 D2) are unbeaten in their last four v Man Utd. But Man Utd have won all five midweek games v Bournemouth.
