In the spirit of transparency, these are our predictions for Matchweek 38.
Newcastle v Brighton
This would have made for an entertaining even contest at various times in the last year but this match-up very much favours the hosts at present.
The Magpies boast the fourth best home record in the Premier League this season and they’re currently third in the form table having won four of their last five games.
In contrast, the Seagulls have won just four league games on the road in 2023/24 and, despite an encouraging win over Aston Villa last time out, only four teams have earned fewer points from their last six fixtures.

Our Prediction: 3-1 to Newcastle
Tottenham v Burnley
Spurs are one of those teams below Brighton in the form table having lost four games on the spin.
Granted, Ange Postecoglou’s men have faced a tricky run (Newcastle, Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool) but 13 goals conceded in four outings is a cause for concern.
That being said, only Manchester City, Arsenal and Liverpool have won more league games at home than Spurs this term while the Clarets have mustered just 14 points from 18 away days.
Son Heung-min and company should have enough firepower to end their miserable run.
Our Prediction: 2-1 to Tottenham
Nottingham Forest v Chelsea
The Blues have given themselves every chance of qualifying for Europe with an impressive upturn in form as the campaign draws to a close.
In fact, only Man City and Arsenal have earned more points across their last ten games.
Having previously been almost solely reliant on Cole Palmer, the likes of Conor Gallagher, Noni Madueke and Nicolas Jackson have looked increasingly effective in attack of late.
As for the hosts, a win over Sheffield United last weekend all but preserved their Premier League status but they’ll still be wary of a late Luton charge.
Forest won 1-0 at Stamford Bridge back in September but we reckon Chelsea will get their revenge on Saturday.
Our Prediction: 2-0 to Chelsea
Manchester United v Arsenal
Despite the Gunners broadly outperforming the Red Devils under his watch, Mikel Arteta has come unstuck in his last two visits to Old Trafford.
However, it would be a huge upset if Arsenal failed to win on Sunday given the nature of Man United’s recent performances.
Erik ten Hag watched his side slump to a 4-0 defeat at Selhurst Park on Monday and the Dutchman has failed to stop his side conceding an almighty tidal wave of shots since the turn of the year.
Structurally, these two teams couldn’t be further apart with the visitors frugal in defence while the hosts tend to be involved in strangely open contests.
Man United looked particularly hopeless without Bruno Fernandes last time out and if the Portuguese midfielder is out again (keep an eye out for availability updates) then Bukayo Saka and friends could run amok.
Our Prediction: 3-0 to Arsenal
Aston Villa v Liverpool
Monday night football features fourth against third but the recent history of this fixture is immensely one-sided in the Reds’ favour.
Liverpool have won six of their last seven meetings with the Villains with last season’s 1-1 draw at Anfield being the only minor blemish.
Both sides have run out of steam at the back end of the campaign with Jurgen Klopp’s troops falling out of the title race and Villa losing 6-2 on aggregate to Olympiacos in the Europa Conference League semi-finals.
Unai Emery’s side were also extremely lacklustre against Brighton last week – they mustered just two attempts at goal at the Amex.
Both teams have won two, drawn two and lost two from their last six league games which makes this a difficult match-up to predict.
30% of Score Predictors have opted for a 2-2 draw at the time of writing but we’ll edge it to the visitors because of Villa’s trek back from Greece.
Our Prediction: 3-2 to Liverpool
