England Premier League Predictions

07/12/2023

Tottenham Hotspur - West Ham United

Tottenham Hotspur might be heading into this game as firm favourites to get a win but they will have their work cut out for them as West Ham United are known to be highly unpredictable and capable of pulling a surprise when it is least expected.

It would be a minor miracle for West Ham to win at Spurs, and they’re likely aware of that. Though risky, such an outcome could bring solid profits thanks to the 4.30 price on most online sportsbooks.

Seeing Tottenham earn a point fro... read more

Everton - Newcastle United

The visitors are well aware of the challenge ahead of them. To defeat Everton on their home field would be a significant achievement, and it is never an easy undertaking.

The visitors are not walking into an easy match by any means, but they should be able to come out on top. Winning this match will be a welcome boost to their rankings, though such an outcome is priced at 2.50.

The hosts are high on confidence following a convincing away triumph (Nottingham Forest) recorded in ... read more

Brighton & Hove Albion - Brentford

Though Brighton & Hove Albion are more likely to win this, an away win would only be slightly surprising. It’s a relatively balanced matchup, which usually means we’ll see some exciting football.

The odds are stacked heavily against Brentford here, and we can’t see them winning this match. The Seagulls are heavily favoured by most betting predictions – so much so that an away bet is priced at around 3.90.

The hosts can count themselves fortunate to have avoided a bigge... read more

Fulham - Nottingham Forest

Fulham should not have bigger problems running away with three points in this match if they stick to their game plan. However, Nottingham Forest can be a tough nut to crack and the home side need to be on top of their game.

Forest will have little to hope for in this match. 4.00 betting odds on them winning paint a pretty clear picture and from this standpoint there is little doubt in regard to the outcome of this clash.

Fulham’s latest away game against Liverpool ended in a n... read more

Sheffield United - Liverpool

With most bookies pricing a home win at 15.00, this is one of the more lopsided matches of the season. Needless to say, Sheffield United don’t stand much of a chance at coming out on top.

Liverpool fans are expecting a straightforward victory this Wednesday, and who can blame them. With odds like the currently offered 1.21 for an away win, the home-field disadvantage doesn’t seem like a big obstacle in this case.

Although Sheffield United are coming on the back of a harsh ... read more

Crystal Palace - AFC Bournemouth

AFC Bournemouth will give Crystal Palace a run for their money and there is no doubt about it. However, at 2.35 odds on home win in this match, we still recommend backing the hosts.

An away win in this match would be a huge surprise and an equally big achievement for Bournemouth who could consider themselves fortunate if they run away with a point in the bag.

An away win from the last Premier League round would have been a proper surprise for The Eagles supporters. Despite the u... read more

Aston Villa - Manchester City

It’s hard to see even the most ardent of Aston Villa fans expect a victory here. As clear underdogs, even a draw against Manchester City would be quite impressive, let alone an upset in the form of a home win.

If you’re just looking for a simple 1X2 football bet, we suggest backing the away team in this match. The Citizens are clearly more likely to win this matchup, though Villans are more than able to put up a good fight.

Aston Villa had to contend with winning a single ... read more

Manchester United - Chelsea

Manchester United may come out on top this Wednesday yet, but it will be quite a struggle. They’ll be fighting a somewhat stronger team in Chelsea. However, it’s still a relatively balanced matchup, as signified by the 2.90 for the hosts to win.

Given their reputation for perseverance, we expect The Blues to give their best effort in this match.

Manchester Utd kept their hopes of a positive result from the previous Premier League clash alive for the full 45 minutes. A draw ... read more

Premier League History and General Info

The best place to start understanding a certain league is its history and format. Many of you may already be familiar with these basics, so feel free to skip ahead. However, it contains some important information for newcomers, such as how the table works and which teams are the most successful in the league’s history.

In terms of its origins, no league can claim the same prestige as the Premier League. Though the competition as we know it today was established in 1990, its roots stretch back to 1888. Football in England is a bit older than that, of course, but this was when the English Football League was first created. By allowing professionalism in their clubs, the English created the first association football league in the world. This would go on to change the game forever, and most association leagues on the planet are at least vaguely modelled on the English one.

Until that point, competitions were strictly amateur and clubs were prohibited from paying their players. Furthermore, fixtures would often be organized between the teams themselves. William McGregor, the director of Aston Villa at the time, finally managed to organize it all into something resembling today’s professional leagues.

The entire league initially had just 12 clubs. As time progressed, though, more teams joined and multiple divisions were created. The English Football League continued existing for decades after that, and the country was never far from the pinnacle of the world’s football.

That brings us to the ‘80s. Despite several successes in the international theatre, the late ‘80s will be remembered as an all-time low for English football. The game was still as popular as ever, but the teams weren’t seeing much of that. Stadiums were in disrepair, hooliganism was bigger than ever, and important players were moving out of the country to greener pastures. The game was becoming increasingly commercialised, and English teams couldn’t keep up with the demands of being a business venture.

The biggest clubs banded together to make a change. Teams such as Manchester United, Liverpool, Tottenham, Everton and Arsenal threatened to leave the English football league unless the television companies offered them better terms. This was more than successful for a time, but the clubs wanted more financial independence.

By 1991, the wheels for an FA-backed break-away from the English Football League were in motion. The idea was that if only top-flight clubs shared the profits (specifically the TV profits), the league would be more financially viable in the long term.

In 1992, all First Division clubs resigned from the pre-existing league and formed the Premier League. The competition’s format would remain the same, complete with promotion and relegation, but the top-flight would be a separate limited company. On a separate note, the English Football League Championship – which was the top-flight of English football until 1993 – became the second-tier league in the country.

The plan turned out rather fruitful, as you might be able to tell. The re-structuring paved the way for the Premier League to become the giant it is today – both in terms of financial strength and the size and importance of its member clubs. Throughout its history, the Premier League was

dominated by several clubs. Initially, these were Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester United, but the list was later expanded to include Tottenham and Manchester City. Strangely enough, this makes the Premier League somewhat less predictable than a lot of the other top-tier European national leagues. Most of them are dominated by one or two clubs at a time – England has six!

Format

Unsurprisingly, the Premier League follows the standardized format – in fact, it’s likely responsible for popularising the template. To avoid confusion, though, we’ll go over it.

The Premier League consists of 20 clubs. A season typically lasts from August to May the following year, with each team playing each other team twice. This adds up to a total of 38 games – 19 home games and 19 away matches. A win nets a team 3 points, while a draw earns them 1. The teams are then ranked based on how many points they’ve earned. In the event of a tie, they’re ranked by goal difference and then goals scored. If two teams are still equal, they occupy the same position, and a play-off match is played if the title, qualification, or relegation slots are at stake.

The three bottom-placed teams are relegated to the EFL Championship. They are replaced by the two best-placed teams from the Championships and the winner of a series of play-offs involving the third, fourth, fifth and sixth-placed clubs.

Now, according to UEFA’s system of national league coefficients, the Premier League is the second-ranked national league in Europe. This means that the 4 top-placed teams in a season qualify for the Champions League group stage. The fifth-placed team goes on to the Europa League along with the winners of the FA Cup.


Premier League Derby Matches

The Premier League has accumulated an inordinate number of derbies over the years. To keep things short, we’ll list just a few of the ones that will be interesting in 2020/21.

North-West Derby

If you’ve been paying attention to our club overview, a showdown between Liverpool and Manchester United should already sound exciting. Even without the centuries-old rivalry between the two cities, this is still a clash between some of the most successful and beloved football clubs in the world.

Manchester Derby

Seeing how Manchester has produced 2 of the Top 3 clubs currently in the runnings, it should come as no surprise that this local derby is quite an affair. The rivalry dates back to 1881, making it one of the most notable local football rivalries ever to exist.

The North London Derby

There’s barely a national league out there which doesn’t include a local derby in the capital. Now, Arsenal and Tottenham are not expected to top the table this season, but that doesn’t mean this showdown is going to be any less appealing. This is one of the fiercest rivalries in Europe, and it never fails to produce exciting matchups.

Premier League Best Stadiums

Old Trafford

Man United’s home turf is the largest stadium in the Premier League by a considerable margin. It can welcome no less than 75,000 spectators, second only to Wembley in the UK (which can house over 90,000 but isn’t used in the Premier League.) Old Trafford is as famous as a stadium can be, still occupying the same grounds it did over a century ago.

Anfield

Speaking of famous stadiums – a football pitch doesn’t get much more storied than Anfield. Liverpool’s home grounds have been around since 1884, undergoing several expansions and improvements. It’s not particularly big or pretty by Premier League standards, but it has housed more legendary showdowns than one could count.

The Emirates Stadium

Also known as the Ashburton Grove or simply Arsenal Stadium, this one is on the opposite side of the spectrum. It’s new and spectacular – which is the same thing that can be said of their biggest rivals’ stadium – and has the best and most modern facilities in the Premier League with a capacity of just over 60,000.
