Premier League 2024/25 predictions: Gameweek 12
Will Ruben Amorim start his Manchester United managerial career with a win when he manages United against Ipswich Town after the international break? The hosts may have won against Tottenham away from home, but they do not have sufficient qualities in their squad to beat the Red Devils.
Meanwhile, Manchester City and Pep Guardiola will be eager to put their losing run of four matches to a halt when they host Tottenham at the Etihad Stadium. It is important to know that this week’s Premier League matchday 12 predictions are based on current form, data, and expert knowledge.
Our Predictions for Premier League Matchday 12
Leicester City and Chelsea to exchange goals as both teams look unstable: Leicester City vs Chelsea
- Date: 23/11/2024
- Kick-off: 13:30
- Both Chelsea and Leicester City are not consistent, and there are suggestions that they may exchange goals.
Chelsea won just once in their last five matches, while Leicester City are in better form, having won two of their last five games. Both teams have scored and conceded double digits of goals in 11 games, so it is relatively normal to expect them to exchange goals in Leicester.
Leicester City vs Chelsea prediction: Both teams to score—yes
Fulham and Wolves to get on the scoresheet: Fulham vs Wolves
- Date: 23/11/2024
- Kick-off: 16:00
- Both teams find it relatively easy to get on the scoresheet and equally find it hard to avoid conceding goals.
Fulham averaged 1.45 goals scored and 1.18 goals conceded (16 goals scored and 13 goals conceded) after 11 league matches, while Wolves scored 16 goals and conceded 27 goals in 11 matches. Given this data, we can expect both teams to exchange goals.
Fulham vs Wolves prediction: Both teams to score—yes
Brentford to display their attacking mastery in Liverpool: Everton vs Brentford
- Date: 23/11/2024
- Kick-off: 16:00
- Brentford have one of the best attacks in England this term, and they are likely to show that against Everton.
The Bees scored 22 goals in 11 matches, making them one of the best attacking teams in England, but their defense has been their undoing this term, having conceded 22 goals as well. Everton do not score many goals (10 goals in 11 games), and their defense isn’t reliable, having conceded 17 goals already. We can expect Brentford to hit the net at least twice before the last whistle.
Everton vs Brentford prediction: Away total goals; over 1.5
Arsenal to bring their winless run of four matches to a halt: Arsenal vs Nottingham Forest
- Date: 23/11/2024
- Kick-off: 16:00
- The Gunners may have failed to win any of their last four league matches and Nottingham has impressed lately, but they are increasingly likely to bounce back to winning ways.
Nottingham Forest’s fine form hit a sharp turn last time out when they lost at home 3-1 to Newcastle United, and they are unlikely to turn it around as visitors against Arsenal, who are eager to bounce back to winning ways.
Arsenal vs Nottingham Forest prediction: Home team to win
Both teams to display their attacking prowess: Bournemouth vs Brighton
- Date: 23/11/2024
- Kick-off: 16:00
- Both Bournemouth and Brighton score goals for fun, and it is increasingly likely their encounter will produce at least three goals.
Bournemouth scored 15 goals and conceded 15 goals in 11 matches, and with Brighton scoring and conceding goals non-stop (19 goals scored and 15 goals conceded), it is normal to anticipate goals from both teams.
Bournemouth vs Brighton prediction: Both teams to score—yes
Unai Emery to guide Villa back to winning ways: Aston Villa vs Crystal Palace
- Date: 23/11/2024
- Kick-off: 16:00
- Aston Villa may be winless in their last three matches, but they are likely to change that against struggling Crystal Palace.
Aston Villa won just once in their last five matches, just to mention a few, but they can return to winning ways against Crystal Palace because the visitors, the Eagles, are in dreadful form, having won just once in 11 games, thanks to their poor attack and shambolic defense.
Aston Villa vs Crystal Palace prediction: Home team to win
Pep Guardiola to finally bring his losing run of four games to a stop: Manchester City vs Tottenham
- Date: 23/11/2024
- Kick-off: 18:30
- Manchester City may have lost their last four matches, but their superb head-to-head record against Spurs suggests they may get their long-awaited win.
Manchester City lost their last two Premier League matches and lost to Tottenham the last time both teams met in the Carabao Cup, but this game took place in London. Man City have a defeat record against Tottenham at the Etihad, having gone unbeaten in eight of their last ten home games against Spurs.
Man City vs Tottenham prediction: Home team to win
Arne Slot to continue his winning run: Southampton vs Liverpool
- Date: 24/11/2024
- Kick-off: 15:00
- Southampton won just once in their opening 11 league matches, and the odds suggest they are unlikely to change that against Liverpool.
Liverpool haven’t lost a game since that 1-0 shock home defeat to Nottingham Forest. They may be the guests in this fixture, but Southampton, who only have one win in 11 league games, do not have the quality to stop the Reds from taking all three points. Liverpool sit at the top of the table with nine wins in 11 games.
Southampton vs Liverpool prediction: Away team to win
Ruben Amorim to start his Manchester United career with a thumping victory: Ipswich Town vs Man United
- Date: 24/11/2024
- Kick-off: 17:30
- Manchester United are unbeaten in their last four matches, and Ruben Amorim’s influence is likely to help United get all three points off Ipswich Town.
Manchester United won three and drew one of their last four matches under Ruud van Nistelrooy, and it is relatively okay to expect the Red Devils to continue their fine form against Ipswich Town, who got their first league win of the season last time out against Tottenham. There’s a huge difference in form and squad, and you can understand why the visitors are the favourites to win the game.
Ipswich Town vs Manchester United prediction: Away team to win
Eddie Howe to extend his winning run to three league matches: Newcastle United vs West Ham
- Date: 25/11/2024
- Kick-off: 21:00
- Newcastle United secured a big 3-1 win on the road against Nottingham Forest, and they will want to make that count against struggling West Ham.
West Ham United have only managed three wins in 11 league matches this season, and the fact they struggle on the road and Newcastle United play their best football at home suggests the Magpies are set on extending their premature winning run to three games.
Newcastle United vs West Ham prediction: Home team to win
