We Predicted
Liverpool vs Burnley
Final Score: 1 - 1
The Game Notes: Liverpool have been on a long unbeaten run and they usually find a way to turn Anfield pressure into goals, especially against Burnley - they’ve lost just once in their last nine league home games vs the Clarets. Burnley’s away form this season has been pretty brutal, so a controlled Liverpool win where they do enough and keep it tight at the back points nicely to a 2–0.
3 - 2
We Predicted
Chelsea vs Brentford
Final Score: 2 - 0
The Game Notes: This one has “chaos but entertaining” written all over it: both sides have been scoring freely this season, and Chelsea’s numbers show they can hurt anyone going forward without always shutting the door at the other end. Brentford also tend to make this fixture awkward - they’ve generally had the better of the recent head-to-head - so it feels like a game where Chelsea edge it at home, but not without a couple of scares.

We Predicted
Sunderland vs Crystal Palace
Final Score: 2 - 1
The Game Notes: Sunderland have been stubborn at the Stadium of Light this season, with plenty of tight scorelines, so they look well set to keep things level for long spells. Palace have also been stuck in a run of low-scoring games lately, which makes this feel like a bit of a chess match - both sides land a punch, neither fully takes over, and 1–1 fits the vibe.

We Predicted
Nottingham Forest vs Arsenal
Final Score: 0 - 0
The Game Notes: Arsenal go into this one flying high near the top of the table and they’ve been pretty reliable on the road, so it’s easy to see them taking control once the game settles. Forest’s home record has been patchy and they’ve struggled to keep teams out, plus Arsenal already handled this matchup comfortably earlier in the season - so a 3–1 away win feels like the natural shape of it.
0 - 2
We Predicted
Wolves vs Newcastle
Final Score: 0 - 0
The Game Notes: Newcastle head to Molineux sitting way higher up the table and they’ve had Wolves’ number in recent meetings, including a narrow win earlier this season. Wolves have shown a bit more fight in recent weeks, but goals have still been hard to come by over the campaign, so a tidy away performance and a couple of well-timed finishes makes 0–2 feel about right.
2 - 1
We Predicted
Aston Villa vs Everton
Final Score: 0 - 1
The Game Notes: Villa have been really solid at Villa Park this season and they’re right up near the top end of the table, so you’d expect them to control most of the game. Everton have been fairly competitive away from home and this fixture’s been pretty tight in recent meetings, which is why it feels like they can nick one — but Villa still have enough to edge it 2–1.
