Saturday's Premier League predictions including Arsenal vs. West Ham

Sports Mole provides score predictions and previews for all of today's Premier League fixtures, including Arsenal vs. West Ham United.


Everton vs. Man Utd (Saturday, 12.30pm)

Manchester United make their final trip to Goodison Park to face Everton in the Premier League at lunchtime this Saturday.

Ruben Amorim's tenure continues to go from bad to worse at Old Trafford, while their former manager David Moyes is having a sensational start in his second spell with the Toffees.

We say: Everton 0-1 Manchester United


Everton's hoodoo against United has continued to haunt them in recent years despite the Red Devils being at their lowest point in many decades.

The 4-0 defeat in the reverse was under different management and should be taken with a pinch of salt, but the visitors should be more determined than ever to avoid yet another defeat that could move them even further down the table.

Bournemouth vs. Wolves (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Bournemouth will be looking to boost their Champions League qualification hopes when they welcome relegation-threatened Wolverhampton Wanderers to the Vitality Stadium on Saturday afternoon.

Victory for the Cherries would see them complete their first league double over the Old Gold since the 2014-15 Championship season, after winning the reverse fixture 4-2 at Molineux in November.

We say: Bournemouth 3-1 Wolverhampton Wanderers


Wolves' spirited performances across their last two matches, as well as their solid Premier League away record against Bournemouth, will give them hope of claiming a positive result at the Vitality Stadium, but the Cherries will still be regarded as favourites for this one.

Indeed, Iraola's side have already hit four goals past a leaky Wolves defence this season and they should have few problems outscoring their opponents en route to collecting three valuable points to boost their top-four hopes.

Arsenal vs. West Ham (Saturday, 3.00pm)

The Premier League title door has opened ever so slightly for Arsenal, who can move to within five points of leaders Liverpool by sinking London rivals West Ham United at the Emirates on Saturday afternoon.

Mikel Arteta's men conquered Leicester City 2-0 last weekend thanks to a new attacking hero, while their visitors' plight continued in a painful 1-0 home loss to capital counterparts Brentford.

We say: Arsenal 2-0 West Ham United


Another glut of goals against the Hammers is surely off the table for a striker-starved Arsenal, but chance creation should not be a problem for the Gunners with the electrifying Ethan Nwaneri in his current form.

As Arteta's men are squaring up a confidence-depleted West Ham side without a single clean sheet in 2025, we have complete faith in the hosts to close the gap on Liverpool and ramp up the pressure on the Reds before Sunday's blockbuster with Man City.

Fulham vs. Crystal Palace (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Still harbouring realistic aspirations of securing European football for next season, Fulham welcome top-10 hopefuls Crystal Palace to Craven Cottage for a Premier League clash on Saturday afternoon.

The Eagles will be out for revenge against the Cottagers after they suffered a 2-0 defeat in the reverse fixture at Selhurst Park in November last year.

We say: Fulham 1-1 Crystal Palace


The last two meetings between these two clubs at Craven Cottage have both ended all square, and another closely-fought contest could be on the cards this weekend.

Fulham will boast the psychological edge having already beaten Crystal Palace without reply this season, but the Eagles have looked strong away from home in recent weeks and will back themselves to claim at least a point from this fixtures.

Ipswich vs. Spurs (Saturday, 3.00pm)

On the hunt for a third Premier League win on the spin, Tottenham Hotspur travel to Portman Road to face Ipswich Town, where revenge will be on the mind for Ange Postecoglou and co.

The Lilywhites were memorably beaten by their newly-promoted foes when they welcomed them to North London earlier in the season, a shock scalp which marked the Tractor Boys' first top-flight win of the campaign.

We say: Ipswich Town 0-2 Tottenham Hotspur


As praiseworthy as Ipswich's point was at Villa Park, the Tractor Boys needed an inspired Palmer to get them out of jail time and time again, and their Premier League home woes are extremely well-documented.

McKenna's men should not be blown to smithereens by any stretch, but a Tottenham side boosted both confidence-wise and numbers-wise have our vote to complete their East Anglian revenge mission.

Southampton vs. Brighton (Saturday, 3.00pm)

South Coast bragging rights are on the line once again on Saturday afternoon, where Premier League whipping boys Southampton will welcome Brighton & Hove Albion to St Mary's.

The Saints edged closer to a swift Championship return owing to last weekend's 3-1 loss to Bournemouth, while the Seagulls were feeling the love in a 3-0 win over Chelsea on Valentine's Day.

We say: Southampton 0-3 Brighton & Hove Albion


Brighton may be guilty of too many slip-ups against sides whom they would be expected to ease past, but the Seagulls' poor record versus bottom-10 teams should prove meaningless at St Mary's.

The visitors have never lost a Premier League game on Southampton's turf and were irresistible when Chelsea came to town, so they should run into few problems dispatching the basement boys with ease.

Aston Villa vs. Chelsea (Saturday, 5.30pm)

Two Premier League teams with aspirations of securing a top-four finish lock horns at Villa Park on Saturday evening as Aston Villa play host to Chelsea.

Unai Emery's side will be seeking revenge against the West Londoners after they suffered a 3-0 defeat in the reverse fixture at Stamford Bridge at the beginning of December.

We say: Aston Villa 2-1 Chelsea


Chelsea comfortably swept Aston Villa aside in December, but a closer contest could be in store this time around between two top-four hopefuls who have found it difficult to grind out victories in recent weeks.

Villa have preferred playing on home soil this term and taking into account Chelsea's defensive frailties and recent struggles in the final third, we are backing Emery's side to pick up maximum points on this occasion.
