Chelsea vs Burnley
Final Score: 1 - 1
The Game Notes: Chelsea at Stamford Bridge feels set up for a controlled home win: they’re up in the mix near the European places while Burnley are scrapping at the wrong end of the table. Burnley’s away defending has been a real issue all season - lots conceded on the road and still no away clean sheet - so a tidy 2–0 fits the pattern, especially after Chelsea already beat them 2–0 earlier in the campaign.

Aston Villa vs Leeds
Final Score: 1 - 1
The Game Notes: Villa Park has been a tough place to visit this season, with Aston Villa sitting up near the top end of the table and generally keeping things pretty controlled at home. Leeds have struggled badly on their travels - only one away league win and a habit of conceding on the road - so a narrow Villa win with a clean sheet, like 1–0, feels like the natural shape of this one.

We Predicted
West Ham vs Bournemouth
Final Score: 0 - 0
The Game Notes: Bournemouth come into this one looking a lot more settled, sitting comfortably in the top half and backing it up with solid recent results, including a good away win at Everton. West Ham have had a rough time at the London Stadium this season and are still battling at the wrong end of the table, so it’s easy to see the visitors nicking it 2–1 in a game that stays fairly tight.

We Predicted
Nottingham Forest vs Liverpool
Final Score: 0 - 1
The Game Notes: A draw feels on the cards because Forest have shown they can make life awkward for this matchup lately (including a big win in the reverse fixture), and they’re coming in off a huge midweek European result that should lift confidence even if legs are a bit heavy. Liverpool’s been far less consistent away from home than at Anfield this season, so a tight game where both land a punch - 1–1 - makes plenty of sense.

We Predicted
Sunderland vs Fulham
Final Score: 1 - 3
The Game Notes: This one has “tight and scrappy” written all over it: Sunderland are back at the Stadium of Light looking to steady things after a patchy run, and that home edge can be huge in these mid-table-style battles. Fulham haven’t travelled brilliantly lately and this fixture’s been pretty cagey in recent meetings, so a narrow 1–0 home win feels like the kind of game decided by one moment rather than a goal-fest.

We Predicted
Spurs vs Arsenal
Final Score: 1 - 4
The Game Notes: Arsenal head into the North London derby as league leaders, while Spurs are limping into it after a winless run and sitting only a few points above the drop, so the momentum is clearly with the visitors. Even so, derbies rarely stay comfortable for long at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, which is why a tight 2–1 away win feels like the right shape: Arsenal with more control, Spurs with enough edge to make it nervy.
