English Premier League: Gameweek 10 Betting Preview & Predictions

After beating Chelsea 2-0 in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday, Newcastle United will be hoping to build on that performance when they host Arsenal in the early kick-off. Eddie Howe will be delighted to have Anthony Gordon back in the side as the Magpies look to end a five-game winless run in the league. Arsenal, meanwhile, are winless in their last two league games and suffered defeat in their last visit to Bournemouth. Eddie Howe’s men claimed a 1-0 win in this fixture last season, but it’s hard to see the Gunners losing this time. 

Bournemouth have punched above their weight under Andoni Iraola this season. Although they lost 1-0 at Chelsea, they put in a top performance and arguably deserved at least a draw. The Cherries also took a point off Newcastle and beat Arsenal 2-0 in their last match at the Vitality Stadium. Manchester City will be wary of the upset threat posed by Bournemouth, but having won each of the last 15 meetings, Pep Guardiola’s side will be confident of securing all three points. 

Only a point separated the sides in the Championship last season while the sides drew both league meetings. We can expect another tight affair here with both teams desperate for points as they look to stave off relegation this season. Leicester have had a better start to the campaign and have won two of their last three league games. Ipswich Town, on the other hand, are still searching for their first league win and have lost their last three games. 

Following a draw at Arsenal last weekend, Liverpool will look to get back to winning ways against Brighton. The Reds are second in the table, a point behind leaders Manchester City, while the Seagulls are in sixth place. The sides met in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday in what was an entertaining five-goal thriller which saw the Reds come out 3-2 winners at the Amex Stadium. Playing at their fortress Anfield, where they’ve won four in a row, Arne Slot’s side will be expected to beat Brighton once more.

Nottingham Forest will be looking to continue their impressive form when they host West Ham United at the City Ground. Nuno Espirito Santo’s side produced the upset of the season when they beat Liverpool 1-0 at Anfield in September, and the Tricky Trees have continued to impress since then. They come into this matchup unbeaten in three matches with back-to-back wins over Crystal Palace and Leicester City before a credible draw away at Chelsea. The Hammers, meanwhile, did well to beat Manchester United last weekend. However, they’re winless on their last four travels. 

Southampton enjoyed the feel of winning in midweek when they scored late to claim a 3-2 win over Stoke City in the Carabao Cup. But in the Premier League, Russell Martin’s team have lost eight of their nine games and as a result, sit at the bottom of the table. Everton, on the other hand, find themselves in 16th place and are currently on a five-game unbeaten streak. The Toffees have only managed to win twice in that run but will be confident of leaving St. Mary’s Stadium with all three points.

Both these sides have made a poor start to the Premier League campaign and will be desperate for points to breathe life into their seasons. Wolves languish in 19th position with just two points from nine games, while Crystal Place sit in 17th spot with six points. The Eagles claimed a superb 1-0 victory at home to Tottenham last weekend and followed that up with an impressive 2-1 win at Aston Villa in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday. Oliver Glasner’s side will be looking to continue their winning ways and having completed a league double over Wolves last term, they’ll fancy their chances of doing so.

Following a disappointing defeat at home to Crystal Palace in the Carabao Cup in midweek, Aston Villa will be eager to bounce back in the league. But a trip to Tottenham won’t be easy for Unai Emery’s men. Ange Postecoglou’s side have won their last five matches at home, including a 2-1 victory over Manchester City in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday. Villa have been superb away from home, picking up 10 points from 12 available. The last time these sides met, Spurs recorded a memorable 4-0 win at Villa Park, but a much closer contest is anticipated this time.

Following the defeat away at West Ham last weekend, Manchester United will welcome the return to Old Trafford on Sunday. But the Red Devils will need to raise their level of play as they host high-flying Chelsea who have won five of their last six away games. This week United parted ways with Erik ten Hag following a poor start to the 2024/25 Premier League season. They are in the bottom half of the table in 14th while fifth-placed Chelsea are showing signs of being a serious threat under Enzo Maresca.

The round’s action ends with a London derby on Monday night between Fulham and Brentford at Craven Cottage. Marco Silva’s side went the whole of October without a win, losing to Manchester City and Aston Villa before drawing at Everton. Meanwhile, Brentford won both of their home matches against Wolves and Ipswich Town and lost 2-1 away to Manchester United. The Bees claimed a league double over Fulham last season and will be confident of bagging maximum points.
