Gameweek 17 of the 2025/26 Premier League season is upon us, and we look at some of the potential outcomes from this week’s thrilling battles, including the match between Tottenham and Liverpool.
Newcastle United vs Chelsea
Newcastle United will take on Chelsea in the Premier League at the weekend, and they will look to continue their impressive run of form against the Blues. The Magpies have picked up four wins from their last four matches against Chelsea in all competitions.
Meanwhile, Chelsea are looking to cement their place in the top four this season, and they are coming into this game on the back of consecutive victories in all competitions. The Blues have kept a clean sheet in five of their last seven Premier League matches.
It will be interesting to see which of the two teams can come out on top here. Matches between these two sides are quite evenly matched, and both teams have won three of the last six meetings between them. They could cancel each other out here.
Probable Bet: Draw
Wolves vs Brentford
Wolves will take on Brentford in the Premier League at the weekend, and they will look to give themselves a chance of survival with their first win of the season. The Black Country outfit have picked up just two points from 16 Premier League matches. They are without a win in the last nine Premier League matches.
Meanwhile, Brentford are in disastrous form as well. The Bees are without a win in five of their last six matches in all competitions. They are very much in the battle for survival. However, on paper, they are the better team. Brentford are unbeaten in their last three matches against Wolves, and a double chance on the away side would be ideal.
Probable Bet: Brentford win or draw
Bournemouth vs Burnley
Bournemouth will take on Burnley in the Premier League at the weekend, and it remains to be seen whether they can get their season back on track. Both teams are without a win in their last six matches, and they will be desperate to bounce back.
Bournemouth started the season really well, but they have regressed in recent weeks. On the other hand, Burnley have lost seven Premier League matches in a row. The home team is certainly the better of the two, and they have drawn three of their last five matches in all competitions. A double chance on the home team would be ideal.
Probable Bet: Bournemouth win or draw
Manchester City vs West Ham
Manchester City will take on West Ham United in the Premier League on Saturday, and they will look to continue their title charge with a victory here. The Citizens have picked up six wins in a row across all competitions, and they are currently two points adrift of Arsenal.
They will look to overtake the North London club at the top of the table with a victory here. Pep Guardiola’s men have picked up ten wins in the last ten home matches against West Ham United. They will be the favourites here.
Probable Bet: Man City win
Brighton & Hove Albion vs Sunderland
Brighton & Hove Albion will take on Sunderland in the Premier League at the weekend, and it remains to be seen whether they can grind out a victory at home. The Seagulls have struggled in their last few outings, and they are without a win in their last three matches across all competitions.
Sunderland have done better than them this season, and they are eighth in the Premier League table. They are coming into this game on the back of a win over Newcastle United in the derby. The Black Cats will be full of confidence, and it remains to be seen whether they can get the job done. A double chance on the away team could be an interesting one for this game.
Probable Bet: Sunderland win or draw
Tottenham vs Liverpool
Tottenham will host Liverpool in the Premier League at the weekend, and they will look to get their season back on track with a victory. Spurs were beaten by Nottingham Forest last time out, and they will look to bounce back here.
Liverpool have been quite vulnerable, but they are unbeaten in their last five matches across all competitions, with three victories in that time. They have managed to keep two clean sheets from their last two matches as well. It will be interesting to see if they can make life difficult for the home team here.
Both teams have been quite inconsistent, and this is likely to be a crunch contest. Liverpool are undefeated in 26 of their last 29 matches against Tottenham, but this will be a difficult outing. Both teams are likely to get on the score sheet, and a high-scoring contest is on the cards. 29 goals have been scored in their last six matches between these 2 teams.
Probable Bet: Over 2.5 goals
Leeds United vs Crystal Palace
Leeds United will take on Crystal Palace in the Premier League this weekend, and they will look to boost their survival hopes with a victory at home. The Whites are coming into this game on the back of a win and two draws from their last three matches in all competitions.
On the other hand, Crystal Palace have picked up three wins and a defeat from their last four outings. The Eagles are fifth in the Premier League table, and they will be eager to pick up a win here.
However, Leeds United are no pushovers, and they have recently beaten Chelsea and picked up a draw against Liverpool. This is likely to be a cracking contest between two teams desperate for a good result.
Both teams are likely to get on the scoresheet, and a high-scoring contest is on the cards. Leeds United have scored 11 goals in their last six matches in all competitions, and they are likely to find the back of the net again.
Probable Bet: Over 2.5 goals
Everton vs Arsenal
Everton will take on Arsenal in the Premier League at the weekend, and they will look to pick up a morale-boosting victory at home. The Toffees have lost two of their last six matches in all competitions, and it remains to be seen whether they can raise their performance levels here.
The Merseyside outfit have picked up four wins from their last six matches in all competitions. They are without a defeat against Arsenal in the last two meetings as well. On the other hand, Arsenal are undefeated in 12 of their last 13 Premier League matches, and they are unbeaten in their last five matches against Everton. A close contest is on the cards, and a draw would not be a surprise.
Probable Bet: Draw
Aston Villa vs Manchester United
Aston Villa will take on Manchester United in the Premier League on Sunday, and it remains to be seen whether they can continue their impressive run of form. The Villans have picked up six wins in a row in the Premier League, and they will be confident of getting a good result here.
Unai Emery’s men are third in the Premier League table, just three points adrift of the table-topping Arsenal. On the other hand, Manchester United have picked up just two wins from their last six matches in all competitions.
The Red Devils have been quite inconsistent, and this will be a difficult outing for them. A double chance on Aston Villa could prove to be ideal for this game.
Probable Bet: Villa win or draw
Fulham vs Nottingham Forest
Fulham will take on Nottingham Forest in the Premier League on Monday, and they will look to bounce back after the defeat against Newcastle United. The Cottagers have been quite inconsistent, with three wins and three defeats from their last six outings.
Meanwhile, Nottingham Forest are coming into this game on the back of a comprehensive victory over Tottenham. They will be confident after four wins from their last six matches in all competitions. It remains to be seen who comes out on top here.
Fulham have five wins from their last six matches against Nottingham Forest, and they will look to get back to winning ways here. Neither side are particularly impressive, and it will be difficult to separate them. Both teams are likely to get on the scoresheet here, especially given their recent defensive records. The two teams have conceded 25 and 26 goals in the Premier League, respectively.
Probable Bet: Both teams to score
