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...
