Both Forest and City are vying for top-four spots, and it’s hard to pick a clear winner in this match-up. Forest are winless in three league games, but they held Arsenal to a 0-0 draw in their last outing.
Both of Forest’s home games against their fellow top-four sides ended level, with City being the only one they haven’t yet faced at the City Ground. Despite winning their last two, City have been vulnerable lately. Forest could capitalise where Spurs and Plymouth didn’t.
Few sides are in better form than Brighton at the moment, with the Seagulls winning their last five games. That’s part of a broader run of eight wins in 11 games in 2025 so far, as Brighton have propelled themselves into the European race.
They have not won in nine meetings with Fulham since 2017, but they are in a strong position to end that run. With three consecutive home victories over teams above them in the table, they shouldn’t be intimidated by a Fulham side below them.
It’s hard to look past any side playing one of the bottom three as a safe bet at the moment. This is particularly the case with Crystal Palace involved, as the Eagles have won eight of their last ten outings.
They have won their last two home games and could now win three such games in a row for the first time this season. Palace won the reverse fixture 1-0, while Ipswich are winless in five away league games. The Tractor Boys have won just one game this season against sides currently in 12th place or higher, like Palace.
Everton are approaching the point in the season where the results are less important, as they are practically safe but won’t be qualifying for Europe. They are still highly motivated to perform under new boss David Moyes, and they are unbeaten in seven games.
Moyes has won six of his last eight meetings with Wolves, and Everton won the reverse fixture 4-0. The Toffees haven’t won at Molineux since 2021, but Wolves have lost four of their last six on home turf.
West Ham could be a huge outside pick of the weekend, with the bookmakers possibly overlooking Newcastle’s other commitments. The Magpies have the Carabao Cup final the week after this game, and players will undoubtedly be focused on that game.
After Anthony Gordon’s red card last weekend, there could be an even bigger dip in performance levels. West Ham are starting to find their form under Graham Potter, having won their last two games.
Brighton, Everton and West Ham all present impressive value for this latest Premier League round.
All three teams have form or other factors on their side that suggest they are overpriced. Palace stand out as the clear pick of the weekend, while it’s incredibly tough to separate Forest and City.
As always, please remember to bet responsibly when following Premier League action.
