We Predicted
Chelsea vs Bournemouth
Final Score: 2 - 2
The Game Notes: Chelsea at home usually means plenty of territory and long spells probing around the edge of the box. Bournemouth are lively enough on the break to make it nervy, but over the full 90 minutes Chelsea’s extra control and depth suggest a single, well-worked goal might be enough.

Burnley vs Newcastle
Final Score: 1 - 3
The Game Notes: Burnley tend to play on the front foot at home, pushing up and trying to keep the tempo high, which can leave gaps if moves break down. Newcastle’s direct running and set-piece threat make them well suited to punishing that, so an away win built on a solid base and one big moment fits.

Nottingham Forest vs Everton
Final Score: 0 - 2
The Game Notes: Forest usually play with good intensity at home, pressing aggressively and feeding off the crowd to keep opponents uncomfortable. Everton are more pragmatic and will look to keep things tight, but they can also struggle to turn possession into clear chances, so a narrow home win in a scrappy game feels plausible.

West Ham vs Brighton
Final Score: 2 - 2
The Game Notes: West Ham’s strength in the air and from direct balls contrasts nicely with Brighton’s calmer, possession-heavy style, so you’d expect the game to swing in phases. Both sides have routes to goal - one from set pieces and transitions, the other from patient build-up - which lines up nicely with a share of the points.

Arsenal vs Aston Villa
Final Score: 4 - 1
The Game Notes: Arsenal at home usually try to pin teams back early, circulating the ball and creating overloads out wide. Villa are dangerous on the counter and won’t need many openings to strike, but over time Arsenal’s pressure and depth should tell, making a tight 2-1 with a late spell of defending for the hosts feel about right.
2 - 0
We Predicted
Man United vs Wolves
Final Score: 1 - 1
The Game Notes: United will expect to see most of the ball, especially at home, and look to pull Wolves around with switches of play and quick combinations in the final third. Wolves can break well but often struggle to sustain attacks, so a game where United eventually find a breakthrough and then add a second on the counter makes sense.
