Premier League 2024/25 predictions: Gameweek 23: 25/01 - 26/01
How will Manchester United respond in the next round after their recent defeat to Brighton at Old Trafford? The Red Devils will take on Fulham away from home this weekend, knowing that a win will reignite their pursuit for a place in the top six at least.
Chelsea ended their winless run of five league matches on Monday night when they beat Wolves 3-1, but can they build on that when they travel to Manchester to face a rejuvenated Man City side?
This week’s Premier League gameweek 23 predictions were based on current form, data, and expert knowledge.
Premier League 2024/25 Gameweek 23 Predictions and Betting Tips: 25/01/2025 - 20/01/2025
Brighton to maintain their winning momentum: Brighton vs Everton
- Date: 25/01/2025
- Kick-off: 16:00
- This is a tricky game, given both teams' current form, but it is reasonable to expect the hosts to get the win.
Having won Manchester United away, many would expect Brighton to maintain their winning momentum against an Everton side that has struggled to score goals, let alone to win matches. We think the Seagulls can outscore David Moyes’ side that ended their winless run last weekend.
Brighton vs Everton prediction: Home to win
Liverpool to maintain their winning momentum: Liverpool vs Ipswich Town
- Date: 25/01/2025
- Kick-off: 16:00
- Ipswich Town are in poor form and unsurprisingly sit in the relegation zone. They have a slim chance of pulling off a shock result at Anfield.
Ipswich Town have struggled to maintain consistency, and they travel to Merseyside to face the league leaders, Liverpool, who have lost just once this term. We don’t expect anything other than a massive win for the Reds.
Liverpool vs Ipswich Town prediction: Home team to win
Newcastle United to bounce back to winning ways: Southampton vs Newcastle United
- Date: 25/01/2025
- Kick-off: 16:00
- Southampton’s form this term has been horrendous, and they are unlikely to trouble Newcastle Utd, who are fighting for a place in the top four.
Newcastle United's impressive performance against Bournemouth last weekend ended, but they have the opportunity to resume their winning ways against struggling Southampton. Due to their poor form, the Saints are currently at the bottom of the standings and are unlikely to improve even at home.
Southampton vs Newcastle United prediction: Away to win
Arsenal to extend Wolves’ poor form: Wolves vs Arsenal
- Date: 25/01/2025
- Kick-off: 16:00
- Wolves are in rancid form, having struggled to maintain a decent run of good results, and we think this struggle will continue this weekend against Arsenal.
Arsenal are among the favourites to win the Premier League, and their recent form proves that. They have lost just twice in 22 league matches this term so far, unlike Wolves, who are struggling to avoid relegation. We think the Wanderers will extend their poor form this weekend, having lost 14 of their last 22 matches.
Wolves vs Arsenal prediction: Away team to win
Bournemouth and Nottingham Forest to exchange goals: Bournemouth vs Nottingham Forest
- Date: 25/01/2025
- Kick-off: 16:00
- Both teams have impressed this season, and with Nottingham’s fine away form, we can anticipate goals from both ends.
Bournemouth couldn’t keep a clean sheet in their last game. They have mostly struggled to keep a clean sheet this term, and with Nottingham Forest conceding two goals against Southampton last time out, we think it is impossible they can let in one or two against the Cherries.
Bournemouth vs Nottingham Forest prediction: Both teams to score - yes
Manchester City and Chelsea to display their attacking prowess: Manchester City vs Chelsea
- Date: 25/01/2025
- Kick-off: 18:30
- Both teams are superb goal-scoring teams, and we expect three or more goals to be scored in the upcoming encounter.
Manchester City averaged 3.31 goals per game in 22 league matches, while Chelsea averaged 3.22 goals per game in 22 league games. Both teams are superb goalscoring sides, and we expect the upcoming game to end with three or more goals, as it is likely that both teams are capable of scoring two or more goals at the Etihad.
Manchester City vs Chelsea prediction: Over 2.5 goals
Tottenham and Leicester City to entertain fans with goals: Tottenham vs Leicester City
- Date: 26/01/2025
- Kick-off: 15:00
- Leicester City and Tottenham have defensive issues, so we expect at least four goals will be scored.
Leicester City averaged 3.22 goals per game in 22 league matches, while Tottenham averaged more—3.63 goals per game in 22 matches, thanks to their shambolic defense. We think the upcoming game will rain goals.
Tottenham vs Leicester City prediction: Over 3.5 goals
Crystal Palace and Brentford to exchange goals: Crystal Palace vs Brentford
- Date: 26/01/2025
- Kick-off: 15:00
- Crystal Palace may be in better form, but Brentford knows how to score against any side.
Crystal Palace conceded 28 goals in 22 league matches, while Brentford remain one of the best goalscoring teams in England, having scored 40 goals in 22 games. We think the Bees can find the back of the net and struggle to shut Palace out.
Crystal Palace vs Brentford prediction: Both teams to score - yes
Aston Villa to avoid a defeat at Villa Park: Aston Villa vs West Ham United
- Date: 26/01/2025
- Kick-off: 17:30
- Aston Villa rarely lose at home and are unlikely to succumb to West Ham at Villa Park.
West Ham United are in poor form, having lost three of their last five league matches. They struggle to dominate away matches, and the fact that Villa are stronger at home suggests that they are likely to avoid a defeat to the Hammers if they find it hard to win.
Aston Villa vs West Ham United prediction: Home team to win or draw
Fulham and Manchester United to exchange goals: Fulham vs Manchester United
- Date: 26/01/2025
- Kick-off: 20:00
- Manchester United struggle to keep clean sheets, and we expect their struggles to continue in London.
Fulham are obviously in better form, but we doubt if they can keep a clean sheet against Manchester United. The Red Devils scored against Liverpool and Arsenal and recently scored against Brighton. We can anticipate at least one goal from the Red Devils when they meet the Cottagers in London.
