Liverpool vs. Chelsea predictions

Liverpool have lost back-to-back matches in the Premier League and they have also failed to win any of their last three league meetings with Chelsea.

Chelsea claimed only their second win in 10 league matches at home to Crystal Palace last time out, but Graham Potter's side have failed to win any of their last five league matches away from Stamford Bridge – a run that dates back to the middle of October.

Liverpool	Draw	Chelsea
51.86%	24.37%	23.77%

Bet: Liverpool vs. Chelsea odds

Bournemouth vs. Nottingham Forest predictions

Bournemouth have lost six matches in a row across all competitions since returning from the World Cup break, but they have won their last three matches against Nottingham Forest, including coming from 2-0 down to claim a 3-2 victory when the teams met at the City Ground in September.

Forest have pulled clear of the relegation zone after losing just one of their last six league matches, but no team has picked up fewer away points in the Premier League this season than Steve Cooper's team.

Bournemouth	Draw	Nottingham Forest
35.59%	29.58%	34.83%

Bet: Bournemouth vs. Nottingham Forest odds

Leicester City vs. Brighton predictions

Leicester City have slipped to within two points of the relegation zone after losing all four of their league matches since the World Cup break and they were thrashed 5-2 at Brighton earlier in the season.

Brighton have won five of their last seven league matches and only league leaders Arsenal and defending champions Manchester City have picked up more away points than the Seagulls in the top flight this season.

Leicester	Draw	Brighton
26.18%	26.18%	47.64%

Bet: Leicester City vs. Brighton odds

Southampton vs. Aston Villa predictions

Three wins in a row across all competitions has lifted the gloom surrounding Southampton, but Nathan Jones' side remain bottom of the standings and have picked up the fewest home points in the Premier League this season.

That should fill Aston Villa with plenty of confidence ahead of their trip to St. Mary's Stadium. Villa are a team in good form, winning four of their six league matches since Unai Emery's appointment as head coach.

Southampton	Draw	Aston Villa
33.07%	28.54%	38.39%

Bet: Southampton vs. Aston Villa odds

West Ham United vs. Everton predictions

Two of the Premier League's bottom three will meet at the London Stadium and both West Ham and Everton are out of form. The Hammers have taken just one point from their last seven league matches, while the Toffees have picked up two draws over the same period.

Everton won the reverse meeting between the two sides at Goodison Park 1-0 back in September, but it was West Ham that claimed a 2-1 victory in last season's corresponding fixture.

West Ham	Draw	Everton
53.92%	26.21%	19.87%

Bet: West Ham United vs. Everton odds

Crystal Palace vs. Newcastle United predictions

Crystal Palace have only won one of their last seven matches across all competitions at the time of writing, a run that has seen them slip down the Premier League table and exit both domestic cup competitions.

By contrast, Newcastle are currently on the longest unbeaten run in the Premier League, with the Magpies having avoided defeat across their last 14 top-flight fixtures.

Crystal Palace	Draw	Newcastle
22.31%	27.15%	50.54%

Bet: Crystal Palace vs. Newcastle United odds

Leeds United vs. Brentford predictions

Leeds are without a win in seven matches across all competitions at the time of writing, but head coach Jesse Marsch felt his side produced their best performance of his tenure during last weekend's 2-1 defeat to Aston Villa.

Brentford are certainly a team in good form, as they are unbeaten in their last seven league games, winning the previous three, while they thrashed Leeds 5-2 when the teams met at the Gtech Community Stadium back in September.

Leeds	Draw	Brentford
40.00%	26.71%	33.29%

Bet: Leeds United vs. Brentford odds

Manchester City vs. Wolves predictions

At the time of writing, Manchester City have lost back-to-back matches to Southampton in the EFL Cup and Manchester United in the league, while they have also taken just a solitary point from their last two league fixtures at the Etihad Stadium.

Wolves moved out of the relegation zone with last week's victory over West Ham and they have only lost one of their four league matches since Julen Lopetegui was appointed head coach in November.

Manchester City	Draw	Wolves
81.25%	12.45%	6.30%

B et: Manchester City vs. Wolves odds

Arsenal vs. Manchester United predictions

Arsenal have strengthened their grip at the top of the standings after winning 10 and losing none of their 12 league matches since they were beaten by Manchester United at Old Trafford back in early September.

United are also in good form, as at the time of writing they have won nine matches in a row across all competitions. Another victory over Arsenal on Sunday could see them become genuine title challengers.

Arsenal	Draw	Manchester United
49.60%	25.27%	25.13%

Bet: Arsenal vs. Manchester United odds

Fulham vs. Tottenham Hotspur predictions

Fulham's five-match winning run across all competitions was ended at Newcastle last weekend, but Marco Silva's side are still flourishing in the top half of the standings and have lost just two of their 10 league matches at Craven Cottage this season.

Tottenham have been inconsistent of late, losing five of their last nine league matches at the time of writing, but they do have an impressive recent record against Fulham, registering seven wins and a draw from the last eight meetings between the two sides across all competitions.
