2024/25 Premier League Preview: Gameweek 2

Brighton VS Manchester United

Brighton’s first home game of the season sees them take on Manchester United, Live on TNT Sports! Brighton pulled out a terrific 3-0 result at Everton last weekend and they currently find themselves top of the league! When it comes to Manchester United, they edged out Fulham late on and they currently sit 7th in the table. In their previous 17 meetings, The Seagulls have won 6 times compared to United’s 10! For Brighton and Hove Albion, they’ll be aiming to win this game given their performance last week. As for Manchester United, they will realistically expect themselves to win this game also.

My Prediction: 2-1

 


Crystal Palace VS West Ham

Crystal Palace suffered a disappointing loss at Brentford to start the season and they are currently 13th in the league. When it comes to West Ham, they also lost against Aston Villa last time out and they currently sit 14th in the table. In their previous 24 meetings, The Eagles have won 8 games whilst The Hammers have won 7. For Crystal Palace, it’s important for them to take advantage of being the home team in this one. As for West Ham United, they really can’t afford to go 0-and-2 to start the year!

My Prediction: 1-1

 


Fulham VS Leicester

Fulham were unlucky to lose at Manchester United last Friday and they currently sit 15th in the table. When it comes to Leicester, they picked up a positive point in their opener against Tottenham and they currently find themselves in 10th! In their previous 7 meetings, both sides have picked up 3 wins each! For Fulham, they need to make sure they win this game. As for Leicester City, a point here would probably be another good result!

My Prediction: 2-0

 


Manchester City VS Ipswich

Ipswich’s first away game back in the Premier League sees them head to the Etihad to take on the Champions! Manchester City cruised to a 2-0 victory over Chelsea last weekend and they currently sit 4th in the table. When it comes to Ipswich, they lost 2-0 at home to Liverpool last time out and they currently find themselves inside the Relegation Zone! This is actually the first time these two teams have played each other since 2002, but I will say that The Tractor Boys did the double over City in the 2000/01 Season! For Manchester City, you would fully expect them to win this game! As for Ipswich Town, this is going to be one heck of a test for them, but it’s one they should relish!

My Prediction: 3-1

 


Southampton VS Nottingham Forest

Southampton host Nottingham Forest in what could end up proving to be a really important matchup! Southampton were unfortunate to lose at Newcastle in their return to the Top Flight and they currently sit 16th in the table (as a result). When it comes to Nottingham Forest, they conceded late in a 1-all draw with Bournemouth last time out, and they currently find themselves up in 11th. In their previous 4 meetings, both sides have won twice. For Southampton, this is a great chance for them to pick up their first points of the season. As for Nottingham Forest, this is also a great chance for them to secure their first victory of the new campaign!

My Prediction: 2-1

 


Tottenham VS Everton

Tottenham suffered a frustrating draw at Leicester Monday Night and they currently find themselves 12th in the table. When it comes to Everton, they got stuffed 3-0 by Brighton last time out and they are currently bottom of the league! In their previous 29 meetings, Spurs have won 12 games compared to The Toffees’ 5. For Tottenham Hotspur, they really should be winning this game! As for Everton, I have no idea what type of performance they’re going to put out (and I’m not even sure they do)!

My Prediction: 3-2

 


Aston Villa VS Arsenal

Aston Villa are back for another exciting Saturday Night Football clash, this time against Arsenal! Aston Villa picked up a great 2-1 win at West Ham last weekend and they currently sit 5th in the table. When it comes to Arsenal, they comfortably beat Wolves 2-0 last time out and they are currently second in the league! In their previous 24 meetings, Villa have won 7 games compared to The Gunners’ 16, but it’s worth remembering that Villa did the double over Arsenal last season (without conceding a goal)! For Aston Villa, they will really fancy themselves to win this game! As for Arsenal, this is a massive early test for them, but they will definitely be up for it!

My Prediction: 2-2

 


Bournemouth VS Newcastle

Eddie Howe returns to the Vitality as Bournemouth host Newcastle! Bournemouth picked up a point at Nottingham Forest last time out and they currently sit 9th in the table. When it comes to Newcastle, they somehow managed to beat Southampton last weekend and they are currently 8th (as a result). In their previous 13 meetings, The Cherries have won 3 times whilst The Magpies have won 5 times. It’s worth mentioning that Newcastle haven’t beaten Bournemouth in any of their last 4 league meetings! For AFC Bournemouth, there’s no reason why they can’t win this game! As for Newcastle United, they will realistically expect themselves to win this one!

My Prediction: 1-3

 


Wolves VS Chelsea

Wolves suffered a 2-0 loss away at Arsenal last time out and they currently find themselves inside the Relegation Zone (in 19th). When it comes to Chelsea, they suffered a 2-0 defeat against Manchester City in their season opener, and they currently sit 17th in the table! In their previous 18 meetings, Wolves have won 6 games compared to 8 wins for The Blues. In fact, Wolves are on a 3-game winning streak against Chelsea! For Wolverhampton Wanderers, it’s important for them to get a result from this game! As for Chelsea, they have to win this game, no question about it!

My Prediction: 1-0

 


Liverpool VS Brentford

Liverpool take on Brentford in this weekend’s Super Sunday Main Event! Liverpool picked up a good 2-0 win at Ipswich last weekend and they are currently third in the league! When it comes to Brentford, they picked up a positive 2-1 win over Crystal Palace last time out and they currently sit 6th in the table! In their previous 6 meetings, The Reds have won 4 games whilst The Bees have won 1! For Liverpool, Arne Slot will be wanting to get off to the perfect start at Anfield! As for Brentford, they know this is a tough test, but they won’t be phased by it!

My Prediction: 3-1
