Football fans have a rare midweek treat with a full fixture slate between Tuesday and Thursday as Premier League week 14 sees all 20 members of the division in action over an exciting three-day spread.
On Tuesday, three matches take place with Newcastle’s clash with crisis-club Tottenham the standout. On Wednesday, meanwhile, Arsenal’s meeting with Brentford and Liverpool’s tricky test against Sunderland are the pick of six games.
The midweek fixture flurry is capped by a single act on Thursday evening. Fresh from an unexpected win at Crystal Palace, Manchester United return to Old Trafford in search of a momentum-building win over West Ham. Ahead of the mayhem, we’ve got Premier League betting tips and predictions for all the action.
Premier League Week 14 Tuesday Games
Bournemouth vs Everton
Bournemouth and Everton were both involved in goal gluts at the weekend in defeats to Sunderland (2-3) and Newcastle (1-4), so excitement levels could be lofty again when the teams collide at the Vitality Stadium.
The Cherries could do with a sweetener against the Toffees following a four-match winless slump, though Andoni Iraola’s leaky outfit are conceding too many goals (12 in their last 4) and look best avoided in the match result stakes until they tighten up.
Bournemouth have been a goal-market banker, however, with seven of their last eight Premier League assignments seeing four or more goals, while BTTS also landed in six of the same fixtures.
Everton have a slightly better overall defensive record than Tuesday’s hosts; though, robust showing against Man Utd aside (1-0), the Toffees have developed a knack for capitulation at the back against the division’s better teams.
They conceded nine goals across three tough tests against Man City, Tottenham and the aforementioned Magpies, and Bournemouth are menacing enough in attack to create chances against Everton here.
Tuesday’s game at the Vitality Stadium has the potential to thrill and bettors can take advantage by combining over 2.5 goals with BTTS at a generous price on the best betting apps in the UK.
Prediction: Over 2.5 goals and both teams to score – 6/5 (2.20)
Fulham vs Manchester City
Fulham have lost each of their last 18 encounters with Man City in all competitions, which is the longest losing run one side has had against another in English football history.
However, despite that remarkable head-to-head imbalance coming into Premier League week 14, we’re resisting the temptation to back City outright here. Instead, a bet on both teams to score appeals.
The Cottagers have finally found some form following a sluggish start to the campaign and their impressive 2-1 win at Tottenham at the weekend was their third victory in four Premier League matches.
Their uptick in results should allow Fulham to approach Tuesday’s test with renewed confidence. Man City left it late to beat Leeds (3-2) at the weekend, though they initially blew a two-goal advantage in that contest and have a habit of leaving the door open.
Indeed, City have kept only one clean sheet in their last five league games, a sequence that suggests their hosts should have opportunities to test Gianluigi Donnarumma.
Man City have also been stuttering on the road, losing 50% of their first six away tussles of the season, so an increasingly competitive Fulham should pose another challenge to Pep Guardiola’s suspect travellers.
Five of the last seven meetings between Fulham and City in league and cup have produced goals at both ends and we’re tipping Tuesday’s skirmish to follow suit.
Prediction: Both teams to score– 4/6 (1.67)
Newcastle vs Tottenham Hotspur
Tottenham were booed off at half and full time following a miserable showing at home to Fulham on Saturday, and tensions between their players, manager Thomas Frank and the club’s irate supporters are at breaking point.
Spurs registered just a single shot on target then before losing for the fifth time in seven matches in all competitions. Toothless Tottenham have now lodged an xG of 1.0 or lower in seven of their last eight league games, and the blame for their lack of oomph in the final third is being firmly laid at Frank’s feet.
Newcastle look primed to take full advantage of Tottenham’s plight at St. James’ Park. The Magpies sharpened up for Tuesday’s test with a slick 4-1 demolition of Everton, with summer signing Nick Woltemade again central to their success.
Back in the Northeast, Eddie Howe’s troops will back themselves to run roughshod over this shaky Spurs outfit. Newcastle have won 11 of their 16 Premier League home matches in 2025, while they have also come out on top in five of their last six meetings with Tottenham. Prices for a home win for the Toon Army to cheer are attractive here, with crisis-club Spurs easy to oppose.
Tip: Newcastle to win – 3/4 (1.75)
Premier League Week 14 Wednesday Games
Arsenal vs Brentford
Arsenal had to be content with a point against ten-man title rivals Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on Sunday, though anything less than a victory for the Gunners against Brentford would be seen as a serious misstep.
Mikel Arteta’s side played for almost an hour with a one-man advantage against the Blues following Moises Caicedo’s first-half dismissal, but they never really grabbed the game by the scruff against their hamstrung, but determined hosts.
Arsenal looked less secure without injured first-choice centre halves, Gabriel Magalhaes and William Saliba, and with both players still absent, Wednesday’s encounter with the Bees could have more moments of discomfort.
Brentford delivered a late three-goal flurry to see off Burnley at the weekend to secure their fourth win in six Premier League outings. Breakout star Igor Thiago notched twice against the Clarets, taking his tally up to nine goals in his last eight top-flight starts.
With the Brazilian spearheading, Brentford could net against an Arsenal defence that has now gone four games without keeping a clean sheet. Still, any Bees goal at the Emirates Stadium is likely to be a consolation.
Arsenal have won 90% of their ten home games in all competitions this term, while Brentford have lost all but one of their six away matches in the Premier League. Combining a home win with BTTS is the recommended play here.
Tip: Arsenal to win and both teams to score – 11/5 (3.20)
Brighton vs Aston Villa
Both Brighton and Aston Villa have been on steady upward trajectories of late, though market prices favour backing the Villans to escape the Amex Stadium with at least a point on Wednesday.
Villa have won a superb 11 of their last 13 games in all competitions, with their only blots on their copybook during that period coming in an undeserved loss against Go Ahead Eagles (1-2) in the Europa League and a domestic reverse to Liverpool (2-0) at Anfield.
In the Premier League, Unai Emery’s side have pocketed 18 of the last 21 points on offer, while their record of just one loss in nine previous top-flight meetings with Brighton only adds to optimism about their prospects on the south coast.
Albion’s recent form is also solid and they’re still unbeaten on home soil since the start of the campaign. However, three of their four home wins this term were by single-goal margins, while xG tallies were balanced on each occasion.
In fact, while Brighton sit in fourth spot, they rank in midtable for both expected goals for and against, which suggests their underlying performances haven’t been as strong as their results would claim.
Brighton offer little value at just short of Evens here, while underdogs Villa offer plenty, with two results covered in the double chances stakes on football betting sites at 4/6.
Tip: Aston Villa/draw double chance – 4/6 (1.67)
Burnley vs Crystal Palace
Crystal Palace started well but eventually wilted against Man Utd on Sunday, with a continental hangover from their trip to Strasbourg possibly a factor, though the Eagles appeal to deliver a response at Burnley.
Palace tend to do well against bottom feeders. They have lost only one of their last 17 Premier League matches against promoted sides (W10 D6), and they can rouse themselves to oust the struggling Clarets at Turf Moor.
Burnley’s loss to Brentford at the weekend was their fourth defeat on the spin and the relegation candidates have conceded at least two goals in seven of their last eight assignments in the division.
Scott Parker’s side have conceded 28.1 in expected goals against since their return to the Premier League, which is the highest figure in the competition. The Clarets’ rearguard should be stretched by the Palace frontline packed with pace and power.
The Eagles swooped in for a straightforward three points in their last away fixture at bottom club Wolves, so appeal to enjoy another routine outing against another relegation contender during Premier League week 14 here.
Tip: Crystal Palace to win – 3/4 (1.75)
Wolves vs Nottingham Forest
It’s two games, two defeats and zero goals for Wolves under Rob Edwards, though Wanderers’ performance against Aston Villa on Sunday looked much-improved. A first positive result feels like it’s in the post for the league’s bottom club.
Wolves matched their Midlands rivals for much of Sunday’s clash at Villa Park and were unfortunate not to score on at least a couple of occasions.
With positives from that display providing a foundation, Wolves could be worth backing to go one better against Forest at Molineux and we’re tipping the hosts to earn at least a draw on Wednesday evening.
Forest, who came unstuck against Brighton at the weekend (0-2), have won only once in six attempts on the road this term, while just one of their last eight meetings with Wanderers yielded a victory.
Edwards might also have a tactical blueprint to produce an against-the-odds result here. He took four points from Sean Dyche’s Everton side during 2023-24 season while in charge of Luton.
That was a couple of years back. Dyche is a manager married to his principles, however, and Edwards should be able to predict how Forest will play here. We’re backing Wolves to frustrate their visitors in this one.
Tip: Wolves/draw double chance – 8/13 (1.62)
Leeds vs Chelsea
Leeds came within a whisker of securing what would have been a dramatic share of the spoils at Man City (3-2) on Saturday before they were denied by a cruel Phil Foden winner in added time, though the Yorkshiremen have another chance to impress against Chelsea.
Daniel Farke’s side have now lost six of their last seven Premier League fixtures, though Leeds competed well in the majority of those defeats. Before their crushing late reverse at City, they matched Villa for xG (1.60 – 1.60) and took the lead at Forest in another brace of losses decided by fine margins.
With energy from the Elland Road crowd there to harness, the hosts can give another big hitter a run for their money when Chelsea visit, and another open game could develop as a result.
Leeds’s fixtures have been averaging 2.93 goals since their promotion, with eight of their last nine matches in the Premier League beating a target of over 2.5 goals.
Chelsea, meanwhile, have scored more away goals (14) than anyone else so far, and fresh from a strong showing against leaders Arsenal on Sunday, the Blues will arrive in Yorkshire ready to attack. The goal markets are ripe for plundering here, so bank on action at Elland Road.
Tip: Over 2.5 goals – 3/4 (1.75)
Liverpool vs Sunderland
Liverpool scored a much-needed 2-0 win at West Ham on Sunday following some interesting team selection choices from Arne Slot.
Mohammed Salah started from the bench, allowing the influential Dominik Szoboszlai to play a more advanced role on the right. Florian Wirtz and goalscorer Alexander Isak also seemed to thrive in Salah’s absence, though leaving the Egyptian out for two games in a row could cause new issues for Slot.
We expect Salah to come back into the Anfield XI against Sunderland in a move that could unsettle the Liverpool machine again. The Reds are as short as 1/3 to beat the Black Cats, but offer little value at such a price.
Instead, Sunderland look well-equipped with a +2.0 goal handicap at 8/11 with the best UK bookmakers around. Regis Le Bris’s side came from two goals down to beat Bournemouth at the weekend, so expect them to be buoyant at Anfield.
The Black Cats have also taken points off Aston Villa, Chelsea and Arsenal since their promotion. That’s three of the division’s current top four, so they should have nothing to fear on Merseyside.
Sunderland team is full of the kind of physicality and running power that often unsettles Liverpool, so expect the visitors to make themselves a nuisance here.
Tip: Sunderland +2.0 goal handicap – 8/11 (1.73)
Premier League Week 14 Thursday Games
Manchester United vs West Ham
In many ways, Man Utd’s comeback win at Palace on Sunday was the perfect snapshot of their campaign. After a rubbish first half, the second that followed saw unexpected improvement at Selhurst Park. Bar chaos, you’re never really sure what Ruben Amorim’s side is going to serve up.
That means that match result markets should be given a wide berth when United play. The wiser money drifts towards goals when they’re involved, and the over 2.5 goal & BTTS combo looks like a snug fit again for their encounter with West Ham at Old Trafford.
Despite fielding at least six defensive players in every game, the Red Devils are one of the Premier League’s worst-performing teams for chances and expected goals against from open play this season.
United have conceded 2+ goals in six of their 13 league fixtures since August and even a West Ham side this uninspiring is likely to have opportunities to score on Thursday evening.
Like their hosts, West Ham are also prone to conceding goals in bunches. The Irons’ defence has been breached 2+ times in 80% of their last ten games.
Thursday’s clash will feature two reliably poor defensive units and the attacking players on show could profit. A low-quality, high-scoring match is likely in Manchester.
Tip: Over 2.5 goals and both teams to score – 10/11 (1.91)
