Round 25 Results 25/26

Man City vs Brighton
Final Score: 1 - 1
The Game Notes: City at the Etihad usually find a way, and after back-to-back draws they’ll be itching to get the title chase moving again - especially with their goals-for still right up there. Brighton come in feeling better after snapping a winless run and they’ve already shown they can trouble City this season, but their away results have been hit-and-miss; with City’s back line a bit stretched, a Brighton goal looks on the cards, just not enough to stop a tight 2-1 home win.

Bournemouth vs Spurs
Final Score: 3 - 2
The Game Notes: This one has “proper goal-fest” written all over it: Bournemouth have been dragging teams into wide-open games lately and, with a long winless run to snap at home, they can’t really afford to sit back. Spurs have been patchy but still carry a threat, and with a few key absences across the squad they’ve looked a bit too easy to get at — so a frantic 3-2 home win makes sense.

Fulham vs Chelsea
Final Score: 2 - 1
The Game Notes: Fulham have been really awkward at Craven Cottage lately and they just pulled off a late 2-2 against Liverpool, so it wouldn’t be a shock if they get on the scoresheet in this derby. But Chelsea are sitting a few places higher, already beat Fulham 2-0 in the reverse fixture, and even with a couple of regulars still missing they’ve got enough to edge a scrappy 2-1.

Crystal Palace vs Aston Villa
Final Score: 0 - 0
The Game Notes: Palace come into this one still searching for a win lately and Selhurst Park hasn’t exactly been a happy hunting ground for them in the league over the last few home games. Villa, meanwhile, are right up near the top end of the table and have shown they can nick results away from home even when it’s not pretty - which is why a tight, low-scoring 0-1 feels about right.
0 - 2
We Predicted
Burnley vs Man Utd
Final Score: 2 - 2
The Game Notes: Burnley come into this stuck in the relegation scrap and still without a league win in a long while, with goals feeling hard to come by when games get tight. United are up in the top half and already edged the reverse fixture earlier in the season, so even if it’s not fireworks, it’s easy to see them keeping things controlled and nicking a fairly comfy 2-0 away win.
2 - 1
We Predicted
Newcastle vs Leeds
Final Score: 4 - 3
The Game Notes: Newcastle come into this with a bit of momentum and St James’ Park has been a tough place to visit lately, so it’s easy to see them edging the big moments. Leeds have been hard to beat and should bring plenty of energy (enough to nick a goal), but with a few fitness doubts and a habit of being dragged into tight finishes on the road, a narrow 2-1 home win feels like the natural outcome.
