It’s a busy day in the Premier League on Saturday, with seven games taking place up and down the country. Make sure to check out this weeks Acca on William Hill News.

We start the day at Villa Park in a very intriguing encounter, with Aston Villa hoping to move to within three points of Aston Villa at the top of the table with a victory.

We’ve then got five games kicking off at the traditional time of 3pm, two sides looking to bounce back from recent defeats will meet on the south coast as Bournemouth welcome Chelsea. Everton return to the Hill Dickinson Stadium as they take on Nottingham Forest, Manchester City look to continue their title charge when they face high-flying Sunderland, Burnley make the trip up from Lancashire to face Newcastle at St James’ Park, whilst Tottenham and Brentford go head-to-head in an all-London affair.

Saturday evening provides us with an early Christmas cracker, as Leeds United look for consecutive Premier League victories when they face a struggling Liverpool side at Elland Road.

Now, let’s take a closer look at some Premier League odds and Premier League betting angles for Saturday’s fixtures:

Aston Villa v Arsenal – Saturday, 12.30pm

Punters can bet on Aston Villa v Arsenal with William Hill

Aston Villa have found some real form after such a slow start to the campaign, the Villans have now won each of their last six games in all competitions including the last four Premier League games, moving them up to third and just six points behind Arsenal.
Unai Emery’s side have been brilliant on home soil, they’ve lost just one of their last twenty-four home games but they’ve only managed one victory here against Arsenal in their last four attempts (W1, L3).
If Aston Villa are able to keep a clean sheet in this one, they’ll secure four Premier League clean sheets in a row at home for the first time since 2023, the last time that Arsenal failed to score a goal here.
——————————–————————
Arsenal head into matchday fifteen top of the Premier League and five points clear at the time of writing having lost just one of their fourteen games so far and with only seven goals conceded, the Gunners look like real title contenders.
Mikel Arteta’s side made no mistake against Brentford on Wednesday night securing a 2-0 victory to extend their unbeaten run to eighteen games across all competitions this season, whilst no side has picked up more away points than Arsenal’s fourteen this season.
The stats don’t lie and this is always a tough place to visit but the Gunners have a good record against Aston Villa in recent years, they’ve won five of their last eight meetings (D1, L2), with four of the last six meetings here producing exactly one goals.

Prediction: Under 2.5 Goals, Aston Villa 0-1 Arsenal.

Bournemouth v Chelsea – Saturday, 3pm

Punters can bet on Bournemouth v Chelsea with William Hill

Having started the season strongly, it’s all gone a bit pear-shaped for the Cherries as they come into this fixture without a win in any of their last five Premier League games, they were beaten here on Tuesday night 1-0 against Everton.
Tuesday night’s defeat ended Bournemouth’s longest-ever unbeaten run at home in the Premier League (7), Andoni Iraola’s side have dropped all the way down to fourteenth with their recent form having flirted with the top four in the early weeks.
The Cherries will be looking to regain some form as we head towards the Christmas period but bouncing back in this one could be tricky if history is anything to go by, as they’ve won just one of their previous eight meetings at home with Chelsea.
——————————–
Chelsea went into their clash with Leeds United on Wednesday night unbeaten in seven games but that quickly ended after a below-average performance at Elland Road saw the Blues suffer their fourth defeat of the season (3-1).
Enzo Maresca’s side are now nine points off Arsenal at the top as any slight title chances look to be slipping away already, it’s worth noting that the Blues have lost both of their PL games this season that have kicked off at 3pm.
However, the Blues have failed to score in just one of their fourteen Premier League games thus far and travel to Bournemouth with a big advantage in terms of head-to-head, unbeaten in their last seven meetings with victories in five of their eight visits here.

Prediction: Chelsea To Win, Bournemouth 0-1 Chelsea.

Everton v Nottingham Forest – Saturday, 3pm

Punters can bet on Everton v Nottingham Forest with William Hill

Everton were thumped 4-1 here in their last home game against Newcastle but the Toffees showed some real character and bounced back with a 1-0 victory away to Bournemouth on Tuesday night, a victory that moves David Moyes’ side up into the top half.
With twenty-one points so far, it’s the highest tally at this stage since the 2020/2021 campaign, a season where they finished tenth under Carlo Ancelotti, there’s just some real signs of positivity for this Everton side.
Everton have seen their last three Premier League victories accompanied by clean sheets, whilst i’m not expecting too many goals in this one with Everton seeing just five of their fourteen league games so far produce at least three goals.
——————————–
With three wins from their last four Premier League games, Nottingham Forest have given themselves a four point gap to the bottom three at the time of writing, the Tricky Trees managed to bounce back from their disappointing 2-0 defeat to Brighton with a 1-0 away win at Wolves on Wednesday night.
Wednesday’s victory secured back-to-back Premier League victories away from home for the first time since January, whilst they won this fixture almost a year ago 2-0, with Sean Dyche hoping for something similar on his return to Everton.
Only Wolves and Sunderland have scored fewer away goals in the league than Nottingham Forest’s six and with just one of the last ten meetings between these two sides producing more than two goals, i’m going to back a low-scoring stalemate.

Prediction: Under 2.5 Goals, Everton 0-0 Nottingham Forest.

Manchester City v Sunderland – Saturday, 3pm

Punters can bet on Manchester City v Sunderland with William Hill

Manchester City sit just five points behind Arsenal at the top of the Premier League but their last two outings have really been concerning, it took a last minute winner to get past Leeds United last weekend whilst despite cruising with a 5-1 lead at Fulham on Tuesday night, the game ended 5-4 with City lucky in the end.
They’ll be hoping Saturday’s fixture is more straight forward and it should be as the Cityzens have won eight of their last nine competitive matches here, with wins in each of their last six Premier League games on home soil.
Pep Guardiola’s side tend to avoid potential slip-ups against newly-promoted sides, they’ve won twenty-four of their last twenty-six matches against sides that have been promoted, whilst they’ve won each of their last seven meetings against Sunderland.
——————————–
Sunderland just keep on defying the odds in this Premier League campaign, they’ve already taken a point off both Arsenal and most recently Liverpool on Wednesday night at Anfield (1-1), with the Black Cats less than ten minutes away from securing a famous victory.
Regis Le Bris’ side enter matchday fifteen just one point off the top four which is incredible and even though they’ve won just one of their last five outings, the fact they’ve got the third best defensive record in the league is paying off.
You have to go back to November 2012 for the last time Sunderland beat Manchester City, whilst they’ve lost twelve of their last fourteen visits away to City and they’ve conceded at least two goals in eight of the last nine meetings.

Prediction: Match Result and 3 or More Goals in the Match – Manchester City, Manchester City 3-0 Sunderland.

Newcastle United v Burnley – Saturday, 3pm

Punters can bet on Newcastle United v Burnley with William Hill

It’s been a fairly average start to the campaign for Newcastle United (W5, D4, L5) yet they remain just five points off the top five as they’ll look to start climbing up the table during the festive period.
Eddie Howe will feel frustrated with Tuesday night’s 2-2 draw with Tottenham though having seen his side take the lead twice but failing to hold on late in the game feels like it was definitely two points dropped for the Magpies.
Newcastle have won all three of their home games this season against sides that are below them in the table, whilst they’ve also won five of their last six league games here against newly-promoted sides and having lost none of the last seven meetings at St James’ Park against Burnley, we could see that run continue.
——————————–
Since securing back-to-back wins against two fellow relegation candidates in Leeds and Wolves, things haven’t gone to plan for the Clarets having lost each of the last five games that followed those two victories, most recently a 1-0 defeat at home to Crystal Palace.
Scott Parker must be concerned, especially as he’s seen his side concede at least two goals in each of their seven away games so far in this Premier League campaign, no side have conceded more than Burnley’s 21 goals away from home.
The Clarets will take something from the fact they’ve scored in all but one of their seven away games this season but they haven’t won away at Newcastle since 1976, they’ve also lost all of their last six meetings with the Magpies.

Prediction: Both Teams To Score & Newcastle United To Win, Newcastle 3-1 Burnley.

Tottenham v Brentford – Saturday, 3pm

Punters can bet on Tottenham v Brentford with William Hill

Tottenham boss Thomas Frank will face his old side Brentford on Saturday but it won’t be a happy reunion at all if he doesn’t see his side take all three points, especially given they’ve won just one of their seven league games so far on home soil (W1, D2, L4).
Spurs did manage to pick themselves up a point on the road at Newcastle on Tuesday night but the Dane is still a man under pressure, the pressure will continue to build if things don’t improve and history suggests they might not improve on Saturday, having lost six of their last eight Premier League London derbies.
Maybe Saturday will provide us with some goals, nine of Tottenham’s last eleven Premier League games have produced at least three goals, whilst they sit second in the ‘overs/under’ table having seen ten of their fourteen games produce Over 2.5 goals this season.
——————————–
Brentford sit thirteenth in the Premier League and only behind Tottenham Hotspur on goal-difference, this is the second trip to North London in a matter of days for Keith Andrews side after their 2-0 defeat against Arsenal on Wednesday night.
For all the impressive displays under new boss Keith Andrews, the Bees haven’t travelled well at all in the league, they’ve won just one of their seven road trips so far (L6), whilst they’ve won just one of their last seven trips away to Spurs (L6).
Only Manchester City have scored first in more Premier League games than Brentford this season but having won just one of the last nine head-to-heads against Spurs, i’m edging towards Thomas Frank’s side to pick up all three points.

Prediction: Come From Behind And Win – Tottenham, Tottenham 3-1 Brentford.

Leeds United v Liverpool – Saturday, 5.30pm

Punters can bet on Leeds United v Liverpool with William Hill

The pressure had been ramped up now on Daniel Farke after seeing his side slip into the bottom three after four defeats in a row but his side bounced back in style on Wednesday evening, beating Chelsea 3-1 here to relieve a bit of that pressure.
Elland Road will play a crucial part if the Whites are to survive in the Premier League this season and that’s displayed in their recent form here, having lost just two of their first seven games in this campaign.
Leeds have conceded at least two goals in six of their last eight games so it’s no surprise to see each of their last six games producing over 2.5 goals, they’ve actually seen ten of their fourteen games so far produce at least three goals.
——————————–
Liverpool looked to have bounced back following that 2-0 victory away at West Ham last weekend but the 1-1 stalemate against Sunderland at Anfield on Wednesday is just a reminder that this Liverpool side are still so far off it.
Arne Slot is a man under huge pressure right now, it’s hard to believe this squad almost walked to the Premier League title last season and anything other than a victory is this one will simply not be good enough, they’ve not lost here since November 2000.
Five of the last six meetings between these two sides have produced at least three goals, whilst the Reds have lost just one of their previous fourteen meetings against Leeds. With Liverpool unbeaten in their last thirteen Premier League games against promoted sides, i’m backing an away win in this one.

Prediction: Both Teams To Score & Liverpool to Win, Leeds 2-3 Liverpool.
