Another vital weekend in the Premier League is set. Liverpool and Arsenal continue their battle for Premier League success, with Arne Slot’s side traveling to Manchester City and Arsenal hosting West Ham United.
There are also important matches at the bottom of the standings, with Ipswich Town and Leicester City chasing wins in the hope of closing the gap on Wolves in 17th. You can find our Premier League predictions for the top matches in round 26 here.
Top Premier League prediction №1. Everton vs Manchester United (22/02/25)
An increasingly disappointing season for Manchester United is only getting worse at this stage of the season. Ruben Amorim’s side is breaking a number of unwanted records at this stage, and the manager’s claims that they could be the ‘worst United team in history’ are looking truer by the day.
Contrastingly, Everton have enjoyed a renaissance since David Moyes returned to the club, winning four of their last five, and moving about Manchester United in the league standings.

The head-to-head advantage rests with Manchester United after winning their last five against Everton. But, the recent form could be the angle to follow. Everton’s four wins across their last five is as many as they had recorded in their opening 20 matches this term. Meanwhile, the visitors have already failed to score in ten different matches this season, and that looks like a worrying trend against a resolute Everton defense.
Pick: Everton (+157)
Top Premier League prediction №2 Aston Villa vs Chelsea (22/02/25)
Fascinating action in the race for European qualification is set for Villa Park on Saturday, as Aston Villa and Chelsea both look to get their seasons back on track. Chelsea will be licking their wounds after a thumping 3-0 loss at the hands of Brighton last weekend, while Aston Villa fared only slightly better after playing out a 1-1 home draw against Ipswich.
The record of the hosts in this fixture would be a major concern this weekend, as Aston Villa have won just two of their last eleven against Chelsea at Villa Park. Meanwhile, Chelsea have recorded 13 away wins against Aston Villa in Premier League history, with that tally only exceeded by Tottenham and Southampton.

A cagey affair is likely. Chelsea have lost four of their last eight. However, Aston Viila’s ability to avoid defeat in home matches could point to a logical betting angle. Unai Emery’s side have lost just one of their last 22 home matches on a Saturday, but the fact that the hosts have played out draws in six of their last 15 matches against teams from London could be the value angle.
Pick: The Draw (+268)
Top Premier League prediction №3. Manchester City vs Liverpool (23/02/25)
The match of the weekend is set for the Etihad Stadium on Sunday, as the four-time defending Premier League champions Manchester City host the runaway leaders Liverpool. Arne Slot’s side could get one hand on the trophy with a win this weekend, as they could potentially go 13 points clear depending on Arsenal’s result against West Ham.
Liverpool’s away record this season has been sensational, winning nine of their 13 matches. If they can avoid defeat at Aston Villa on Wednesday, Slot’s side could make history by becoming the sixth team to go 15 matches without defeat on the road.

Manchester City looked back to somewhere near their best last Saturday with an excellent 4-0 win over Newcastle. However, Pep Guardiola’s side have failed to win in their last three against Liverpool, which includes a 2-0 defeat in the reverse fixture this term. This Sunday could provide the perfect opportunity for Liverpool to flex their muscles, and show why they will become the new champions of England.
Pick: Liverpool (+129)
