1 hour ago

| BY Sam McLoughlin

A 1-1 stalemate at 11/2 between Aston villa and Chelsea looks good value, whilst Arsenal to win to nil (17/10), BTTS & Over 2.5 goals in Fulham v West Ham (21/20), Manchester City -1 Handicap (11/10) and a 2-2 draw between Newcastle and Manchester United at 9/1 all look appealing.

@Footy_Tipster gives his best predictions ahead of this round of fixtures in the English Premier League..

Wednesday night will see five games take place in the Premier League.

Villa Park will be rocking as Aston Villa welcome Chelsea in a huge clash in terms of a top five finish, Brighton welcome the league leaders Arsenal to the south coast, Fulham and West Ham battle it out in an all-London encounter, whilst Manchester City welcome struggling Nottingham Forest to the Etihad Stadium at 7.30pm.

Later in the evening, Newcastle United and Manchester United battle it out for three points at St James’ Park in a mouth-watering encounter.

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

Aston Villa v Chelsea – Wednesday, 7.30pm

Punters can bet on Aston Villa v Chelsea with William Hill

Aston Villa are just starting to slow down in recent weeks and will be concerned of those teams behind them starting to find a bit of form, they’ve won just one of their last six games in all competitions, whilst they return to Villa Park having suffered an embarrassing 2-0 defeat at Wolves on Friday night.
At the time of writing, Unai Emery’s side now sit fourth in the Premier League, they’ve got to be careful not to keep slipping as they aim to secure a UEFA Champions League spot, this is a huge game though as they currently have a six point gap over Chelsea in sixth, the Villans are 13/8 to win this one with William Hill.
Having won their last two Premier League matches against Chelsea, Aston Villa are looking for three league wins in a row against the Blues for the first time since a run of four between 1978 and 1984.
——————————–————————
Chelsea suffered their third defeat since Liam Rosenior took charge, all three have been against Arsenal but the Blues will feel frustrated after the 2-1 loss on Sunday especially given his side showed their ill-discipline once again picking up their seventh red card of the season.
Victory here for Chelsea would bring them right back into contention for a top four spot, they’ve lost just two of their previous nine visits to Villa Park in all competitions (W6, D1), the Blues are priced at 13/10 on the ‘2-up’ market with William Hill.
I’m expecting goals in this one, both teams have found the back of the net in six of the last seven head-to-head games at Villa Park, whilst the same has occurred in eleven of the last twelve Chelsea games in the top-flight.

Prediction: Both Teams To Score & Draw (17/5), Aston Villa 1-1 Chelsea (11/2).

Brighton v Arsenal – Wednesday, 7.30pm

Can Brighton upset the league leaders? Bet with William Hill

Fabian Hurzeler has relieved some pressure in recent weeks, back-to-back victories against Brentford and Nottingham Forest has secured consecutive wins for the first time since November, they have the chance to make it three in a row for the first time since May 2025.
The Seagulls haven’t won any of their last six meetings against Arsenal and with just one win in their last four home games, Brighton could well struggle in this one but they are priced up at 19/5 with William Hill to cause an upset.
There have been under 2.5 goals in six of the last seven league games at home in Brighton’s game, whilst they’ve conceded exactly once in four of their last five Premier League games, it’s a big ask here for Brighton.
——————————–————————
Any questions regarding how Arsenal would handle the pressure as we close in on the final games of the campaign were well and truly answered when Mikel Arteta’s side thumped rivals Tottenham Hotspur before beating Chelsea on Sunday.
The Gunners are now unbeaten across their last six league fixtures (W4, D2) and haven’t lost any of their last nineteen Premier League games to kick off at 7pm or later (W14, D5), you can back Mikel Arteta’s side to win this one to nil at 17/10 with the leading bookmaker.
Arsenal travel to the south coast in fine form on the road, they’ve lost none of their last eleven away games in all competitions (W8, D3), whilst they’ve won three of their last five visits to Brighton in the league (W3, D2).

Prediction: Arsenal To Win To Nil (17/10), Brighton 0-2 Arsenal (13/2).

Fulham v West Ham – Wednesday, 7.30pm

Bet on this all-London affair with William Hill.

Fulham return to west London having beat Tottenham Hotspur here on Sunday 2-1, it’s now three wins in a row in all competitions for Marco Silva’s side and enter this midweek round of fixtures just three points behind Brentford in seventh, as they continue to dream about European football.
The Cottagers will be confident on continuing their climb up the Premier League table having lost just one of their last seven games at Craven Cottage in all competitions, whilst the cottagers won the reverse fixture 1-0 back in December, they are priced at 7/1 to replicate that scoreline in this one with William Hill.
We could be in for goals here at Craven Cottage given Fulham have seen nine of their fourteen league games this season produce at least three goals on home soil, including each of their last five outings.
——————————–————————
West Ham are not giving up on the Premier League, they looked down and out a few weeks ago but the Hammers have now lost just two of their last seven Premier League games and head to Craven Cottage knowing a victory could see them move out of the bottom three depending on results elsewhere.
However, West Ham have lost seven of their eight Premier League London derbies this season (W1). Only three sides have lost more all-London games in a single campaign in the competition, Nuno Espirito Santo’s side are 5/2 with William Hill to pick up all three points.
Despite this huge chance for the Hammers to get themselves out of the relegation zone here, their record in London derbies is a big concern but i’m going to back a score draw in this one, i’ll go with a 2-2 stalemate.

Prediction: Both Teams To Score & Over 2.5 Goals (21/20), Fulham 2-2 West Ham (11/1).

Manchester City v Nottingham Forest – Wednesday, 7.30pm

Check out William Hill’s odds for Man City v Nottingham Forest.

Manchester City continued their hunt of the Premier League title with a hard-fought 1-0 victory against Leeds United on Saturday night, they now sit just five points behind Arsenal with a game in hand.
The Cityzens return to east Manchester where they’ve won sixteen of their last nineteen league games (D2, L1) and playing on a Wednesday evening boosts City’s confidence having lost none of their twenty-six league outings on a Wednesday under Pep Guardiola (W24), William Hill have priced City -1 Handicap at 11/10.
Since Nottingham Forest returned to the English top-flight, Manchester City have played them three times here at the Etihad Stadium and have won all three games without conceding, with an aggregate score of 11-0.
——————————–————————
Nottingham Forest are in huge danger of returning to the EFL Championship and their poor continued on Sunday after a 2-1 defeat away to Brighton, it’s now three defeats in a row for the Tricky Trees under Vitor Pereira.
With just two wins from their last ten Premier League games, it’s no surprise to see Forest looking over their shoulder and unless they pull off an upset at the Etihad Stadium, they could find themselves in the bottom three come full-time, they are 6/1 to complete the upset here.
Nottingham Forest’s 1-0 win against City back in March 2025 remains their only victory against Man City in any of their previous eight meetings, it’s hard to put a case together for Vitor Pereira’s side here.

Prediction: Manchester City -1 Handicap (11/10), Manchester City 3-0 Nottingham Forest (17/2).

Newcastle United v Manchester United – Wednesday, 8.15pm

Punters can bet on Newcastle United v Manchester United with William Hill

Newcastle United were booed off here by their own fans on Saturday afternoon following a 3-2 defeat against Everton and it’s no surprise, the fans are frustrated with the fact their side are now twelve points off the top five.
It’s now just one win in their last seven Premier League outings with Eddie Howe coming under a bit of pressure now, they’ve now lost three consecutive home games in the league, they haven’t lost four or more since October 2018, you can back the Magpies at 6/4 to stop this run with a win here.
Newcastle have lost just two of their last twenty Premier League home games to kick-off at 7pm or later but they’ve won just one of their last eleven games against sides starting the round in the top seven (D2, L8).
——————————–————————
Manchester United head to St James’ Park having extended their unbeaten run under Michael Carrick to seven games now after their 2-1 victory against Crystal Palace on Sunday, the Red Devils enter this matchday sitting in third, remarkable turnaround.
However, despite getting over the line in recent weeks the performance levels just seem to have dropped and this is another huge ask for United given they’ve lost each of their last three visits to Newcastle, it’s a tough place to come when this crowd are up but Man United are also 6/4 to win here with William Hill.
Man Utd are looking to record a Premier League double over Newcastle for the first time since the 2020-21 campaign but goals should be a given here either way given each of the last nine Newcastle United games have seen at least three goals.

Prediction: Over 3.5 Goals (5/4), Newcastle United 2-2 Manchester United (9/1).
