PL Games - 13th, 14th & 15th December
Posted: 12 Dec 2025, 04:38
Saturday, 13 December 2025 15:00
Chelsea v Everton
Venue: Stamford Bridge
League Positions: 4 v 12
Current Forms: 17 v 36
League positions & current forms in opposition. I think home advantage will tell.
Prediction: Home Win
Saturday, 13 December 2025 15:00
Liverpool v Brighton & Hove Albion
Venue: Anfield
League Positions: 9 v 6
Current Forms: 18 v 21
As in the above game, league positions & current forms in opposition. Liverpool, however will..., OK, should, be buoyed by their victory in Europe this week.
Prediction: Home Win
Saturday, 13 December 2025 17:30
Burnley v Fulham
Venue: Turf Moor
League Positions: 19 v 15
Current Forms: 0 v 15
Battle of the anti-giants, this one. All stats point to an easy Fulham win, but since when have stats ever kicked a pig's bladder around the park? Home advantage should tell, but,
Prediction: Draw
Saturday, 13 December 2025 20:00
Arsenal v Wolverhampton Wanderers
Venue: Emirates Stadium
League Positions: 1 v 20
Current Forms: 22 v 0
If ever a team in dire need of some points chose a game to avoid this weekend, then this would be that game. Arsenal will be buzzing and if they are wearing their scoring boots could go on a rampage.
Prediction: Home Win
Sunday, 14 December 2025 14:00
Crystal Palace v Manchester City
Venue: Selhurst Park
League Positions: 7 v 2
Current Forms: 34 v 39
City, off the back of an excellent result in Europe, will be looking to carry that away form into this game. Palace will certainly stretch their defence with their style of play, but, I believe, City will prevail.
Prediction: Away Win
Sunday, 14 December 2025 14:00
Nottingham Forest v Tottenham Hotspur
Venue: City Ground
League Positions: 17 v 10
Current Forms: 21 v 20
With almost identical current forms and both teams having won in Europe this week, this is quite a difficult one to call. A little voice inside my head says, amongst many other things, Spurs will bag the points, but I'm not getting of this fence for nobody.
Prediction: Draw
Sunday, 14 December 2025 14:00
Sunderland v Newcastle United
Venue: Stadium of Light
League Positions: 8 v 11
Current Forms: 14 v 34
Well! I recall the days when such a game used to be an absolute banger, every time (and guaranteed to be the first shown on Match of the Day). Only 3 places separate these two in the table, but the Bar Code's current form on the back of their European performance this week should be enough.
Prediction: Away Win
Sunday, 14 December 2025 14:00
West Ham United v Aston Villa
Venue: The London Stadium
League Positions: 18 v 3
Current Forms: 14 v 45
Ahh! You know we want to, and not just to honour the memory of the great Sir Bill. Villa, though, are absolutely roaring; away win in Europe and maximum score on current form (over the last 5 games). Sadly, with all the love and emotion that the crowd can deliver, this will not be our day. Football is a hard mistress.
Prediction: Away Win
Sunday, 14 December 2025 16:30
Brentford v Leeds United
Venue: Brentford Community Stadium
League Positions: 14 v 16
Current Forms: 12 v 17
Not sure I can be that bothered now, after what I wrote about our game, but, stats are similar, league positions similar. High probability of a draw but I'm playing the home advantage card.
Prediction: Home Win
Monday, 15 December 2025 20:00
Manchester United v A. F. C. Bournemouth
Venue: Old Trafford
League Positions: 5 v 13
Current Forms: 29 v 7
The Red Devils, to my immense chagrin, seem to have found their mojo, while Bournemouth still seem to be searching for theirs. The media will rejoice, even if no one who actually matters (me) does.
Prediction: Home Win
