The resurgence of Manchester United has been the key talking point in the Premier League this week, with Michael Carrick very much at the wheel for the Red Devils.
A remarkable 3-2 win at Arsenal has not only given United belief that they can feature in the European football shake up at the end of the season but it has also struck some doubt into Arsenal’s title credentials.
The Gunners have a four-point lead over Manchester City and Aston Villa in behind them, as the season begins to make a turn for home.
Down at the bottom, Burnley, West Ham and Nottingham Forest all picked up points last weekend, dragging a few other sides into the relegation conversation but the writing appears to still be on the wall for Wolves.
Here are our Premier League tips for the next round of fixtures:
EPL Week 24 Predictions
—
Leeds United ($6.75)
Arsenal ($1.55)
Draw ($4.30)
A wobble at the top of the table is part and parcel of any title race but now it is time for Arsenal to respond at Leeds. The hosts have been improving significantly under Daniel Farke, and they were very unlucky to only pick up a point at Everton last time out. Arsenal meanwhile have plenty of scrutiny on them here and are under the pump, but they can rest players in their Champions League game against Kairat in midweek. This will be a raucous one, but the Gunners should dig deep and pick up all three points here.

Wolves ($3.25)
Bournemouth ($2.20)
Draw ($3.65)
There have been a few signs that Rob Edwards is steadying the ship at Wolves, and they take on Bournemouth next. Wanderers were well beaten by Manchester City last time out, but they can play with freedom now, with nobody expecting them to mount a survival bid at this point in the season. Bournemouth meanwhile come into this one fresh off a win over Liverpool and they are beginning to believe that they can climb into the top half of the table. This should be a good one, with the Cherries looking decent value for all three points.

Brighton ($1.85)
Everton ($4.35)
Draw ($3.75)
It has been an inconsistent campaign for both Brighton and Everton and they meet here down on the south coast. The Seagulls were undone in the dying embers against Fulham last weekend and they will be eager to bounce back at home in this one. Everton meanwhile have saved their best stuff for away games this season and this one could suit David Moyes’s side and the way they set up. That said, Brighton are a good outfit and they should win here.

Chelsea ($1.50)
West Ham United ($6.25)
Draw ($4.50)
Liam Rosenior continues to impress in the Chelsea hotseat, and the blues will be looking to continue their decent form here against West Ham. The blues won well at Crystal Palace last time out and with Champions League progress all-but assured, it has been a decent start to 2026 for Chelsea. West Ham have also been picking up some impressive results lately, including their good win over Sunderland last time out. This will be closer than the odds suggest but Chelsea should get this done eventually.

Liverpool ($1.83)
Newcastle United ($4.95)
Draw ($4.30)
Liverpool continue to struggle for consistency this season and they will want to bounce back from their loss at Bournemouth last time out, at home to Newcastle. The reds are off the pace in the Premier League title battle, but they remain a very dangerous side, particularly at fortress Anfield. Newcastle meanwhile continue to plug away under Eddie Howe but results and performances of late have been very disappointing. This should be a comfortable home win for the reds.

Manchester United ($1.60)
Fulham ($5.75)
Draw ($4.30)
Michael Carrick will be hoping to get his Manchester United side back firing here, as the Red Devils host Fulham at Old Trafford. Wins over Manchester City and Arsenal have United and their fans believing once again and a top four finish feels firmly within reach. Fulham meanwhile are going very well under Marco Silva and are always a threat in any game they play. That said, United have been rampant of late and if they find their groove, Fulham could struggle to cope with them.

Nottingham Forest ($1.97)
Crystal Palace ($3.75)
Draw ($3.50)
Back to back wins for Nottingham Forest are giving them belief that they can climb away from relegation trouble and Crystal Palace lie in wait here. Forest are attritional under Sean Dyche, but they continue to be effective, particularly in front of their home fans. Palace meanwhile are in danger of seeing the wheels fall off under Oliver Glasner and they need to stop the rot quickly. This should be a good game, with all three results in play but Forest could perhaps edge it at home.

—
Aston Villa ($2.00)
Brentford ($4.00)
Draw ($3.40)
Title chasing Aston Villa will be looking to keep the heat up on Arsenal and Manchester City, as they host Brentford at Villa Park. A superb win at Newcastle last time out has Villa fans believing that they can sustain a title challenge but his feels like a big game for them. Brentford meanwhile lost to Nottingham Forest last time out and they need to respond in this one. This won’t be easy for Villa and goals could be on the cards, but they should get it done at home.
Aston Villa to win 3-1
—
Tottenham ($4.90)
Manchester City ($1.75)
Draw ($4.50)
The stakes continue to raise for Thomas Frank at Tottenham and Spurs will be looking to do their customary number over Manchester City this weekend. Whether Frank lasts the course at Spurs remains to be seen and their league form has been abject this term. City meanwhile need to keep the pressure up on Arsenal above them and with some key players coming back into the fold, this feels like a big period for them. This will be a tight one and with City’s record at Tottenham so poor, the hosts look decent value for the win here.
Tottenham to win 2-1
—
Sunderland ($1.75)
Burnley ($5.40)
Draw ($3.50)
Promoted sides Sunderland and Burnley meet here, in a contrasting tale of both respective seasons. The Black Cats have ripped it up this season and are sitting pretty in the top half of the table, with their Premier League status all-but assured. Burnley meanwhile are languishing in the relegation zone under Scott Parker, but they will not give up hope. This could be much tighter than the odds suggest but Sunderland have been superb at home this season and should prevail.
