We Predicted
Liverpool vs Brighton
Final Score: 2 - 0
The Game Notes: Liverpool will almost certainly look to dominate the ball at home, but Brighton are one of the few sides happy to play through the press and drag the game into open spaces. That mix of pressure at one end and calm build-up at the other feels ripe for both sides to score, but neither fully take control.

Chelsea vs Everton
Final Score: 2 - 0
The Game Notes: Chelsea are likely to spend long stretches camped in Everton’s half, recycling possession and probing for gaps rather than turning it into a shoot-out. Everton tend to be stubborn and compact in these spots, but the weight of territory and pressure points towards Chelsea finally breaking through once and then managing the game.

Burnley vs Fulham
Final Score: 2 - 3
The Game Notes: Burnley usually try to be brave at home, pushing up and committing numbers when they can, which can leave space behind if the final ball isn’t quite there. Fulham’s more measured approach and extra cutting edge on the break makes it easy to picture them soaking things up and pinching it with a single, clinical moment.

Crystal Palace vs Man City
Final Score: 0 - 3
The Game Notes: Palace are awkward hosts for anyone, quick to spring forward when they turn the ball over and always a threat from wide areas. City are still likely to control most of the play, though, and over ninety minutes their ability to keep the ball and recycle attacks usually tells, so a narrow away win with a scare along the way fits.

We Predicted
Sunderland vs Newcastle
Final Score: 1 - 0
The Game Notes: In a derby like this the game often leans more towards chaos than control, with momentum swinging quickly and tackles flying in early. Both sides have enough pace and directness to exploit those broken moments, so a high-energy contest where each team leads at some point and it finishes all square feels very believable.
2 - 1
We Predicted
Brentford vs Leeds
Final Score: 1 - 1
The Game Notes: Brentford’s home games tend to be well-structured, built on organised pressing and plenty of threat from crosses and set pieces. Leeds are far looser - they create chances but leave gaps - so a match where Brentford’s control edges out Leeds’ volatility, with the visitors still getting on the scoresheet, lines up with a 2-1.
