Brentford v Burnley
League Position [12 v 19] Favours: Brentford
Current form [24 v 21] favours: Brentford
Not a game Burnley will relish - obviously they need something here in order yo stop them getting cut adrift from the rest of the pack. Having said that:
Home Win

Manchester City v Leeds United
League Position [3 v 18] Favours: Manchester City
Current form [33 v 13] favours: Manchester City
Like Burnley, Leeds also need some points on the table, PDQ. Can't see that happening here:
Home Win

Sunderland v A. F. C. Bournemouth
League Position [6 v 7] Favours: Sunderland
Current form [29 v 19] favours: Sunderland
Have read some comments about Sunderland's PL "honeymoon" being over. I'm not so sure that it is (yet), and the league positions suggest:
Draw

29 November 2025 17:30

Everton v Newcastle United
League Position [13 v 14] Favours: Newcastle United
Current form [12 v 18] favours: Newcastle United
Both teams seem to be struggling to get started and put a winning run together. I feel that Newcastle are struggling less in that aspect:
Draw

29 November 2025 20:00

Tottenham Hotspur v Fulham
League Position [8 v 15] Favours: Tottenham Hotspur
Current form [19 v 15] favours: Tottenham Hotspur
Tottenham will be looking to bounce back from their European adventure this week, but Fulham are starting to show signs of a team courting with free fall:
Home win

30 November 2025 12:00

Crystal Palace v Manchester United
League Position [9 v 10] Favours: Crystal Palace
Current form [21 v 32] favours: Manchester United
Well. What can one say? In Manchester United's favour, this game is not at Old Trafford, and Palace may just about have enough. However:
Draw

30 November 2025 14:05

Aston Villa v Wolverhampton Wanderers
League Position [4 v 20] Favours: Aston Villa
Current form [30 v 3] favours: Aston Villa
Local rivalry may gee up Wolves, but I can only see that resulting in a card or two.
Home win

Nottingham Forest v Brighton & Hove Albion
League Position [16 v 5] Favours: Brighton & Hove Albion
Current form [5 v 29] favours: Brighton & Hove Albion
Was last week's result for Forrest an indication that Dyche has got them working or simply an indication that Liverpool have lost their rudder? I suspect the latter:
Away win

West Ham United v Liverpool
League Position [17 v 11] Favours: Liverpool
Current form [16 v 15] favours: West Ham United
This could get quite tetchy. Maybe of more interest/importance is how much the officials let Liverpool get away with, given that the footballing authorities/media absolutely need Liverpool to be in next year's Champions League.
Draw

30 November 2025    16:30

Chelsea v Arsenal
League Position [2 v 1] Favours: Arsenal
Current form [30 v 45] favours: Arsenal
Arsenal do appear to be on a roll, but you've got to have something about you to be 2nd in the PL:
Draw

Point-at-me-and-laugh acca:
Aston Villa (@ Home to Wolverhampton Wanderers)
Manchester City (@ Home to Leeds United)
Brighton & Hove Albion (Away @ Nottingham Forest)    

£14.00. Potential returns: £36.89. This time next year...

I've been thinking thw same regarding Villas. That's a real claret and blue Adidas beauty that would have looked the bollocks if we had that same design. It's got echos of our stunner 80s Adidas kit about it.

 

 

 

 

 

Nah, not a patch on our current Kappa strip.

Oh, wait.....

[Massive Attack]

I do like Leeds Kit.

Spurs are having the same issue we had with Kudus on their right wing with an already established quality player there being displaced. Instead of it being Bowen they've now got it with displacing their Cup hero Brenan Johnson. Kudus needs to be the main man at a Club in that position but too many quality starters in that position upsets the Teams balance and probably harmony as I can imagine Kudus kicking up a stink not starting otherwise. Oh well, great to see.

There’s a bit of a gap opening between 15th place and us. Lose today and our season starts to become a 3 way battle with Leeds & Burnley for 2 relegation spots.

[joe royal]

I do like Leeds Kit.

[Sweep]

Even worse than us at home. Takes some doing.

[Tomshardware]

same old Spurs, steal someone else's good manager and it goes tits up, spent a fair bit of money as well.    They are worse than us at home and that's saying something. 

[Massive Attack]

They’ll turn it around, unfortunately.

(Un)fortunately not.

[goose]

They’ll turn it around, unfortunately.

Gutted son?

[Eerie Decent]

Yeah, had to be him at some point this season.

[Mad Ferret]

Had to be Kudus…

[fraser]

They’ll turn it around, unfortunately.

Because they’re the ‘real deal’ this season aren’t they?

Well I'm enjoying them..

Tottenham have conceded 11 goals in 200 mins of football since last Sunday

[Tomshardware]

Just turned the spurs game on, they are 2-0 down after 7 minutes. 

[Leonard Hatred]

It was EXCELLENT. 

[Mad Ferret]

They were getting crowds of 35000+ in league 1.

Yeah and how was the atmosphere?

[Mad Ferret]

I just got home from the Sunderland game. 

Fucking BRILLIANT game of football. 

The atmosphere in that stadium is magnificent. 

And how was the atmosphere when they were languishing in League 1?

[Come On You Irons]

Hopefully Everton will be dragged into the relegation battle. That win away at Man United on Monday was annoying.

People seem to want to forget us conceding 74 Premier league goals in his last season
Including the south & west London treble of 5 away at Chelsea, Fulham & Palace 
Did better at Brentford. Only 3 shipped there 

Because it doesn't fit the narrative that Moyes was only ever a success at West Ham and we only narrowly lost by the odd goal.  Wasn't it 21 games we lost in his last season?
