Premier League Predictions, Expert Picks Matchweek 26: EPL Best Bets This Week
I'm featuring four wagers in my Premier League predictions and picks for Matchweek 26, headlined by Man City and Manchester United.
Thanks to Michael Carrick's uplifting arrival, the Red Devils aren't recognizable from a few weeks ago. I expect them to take care of business against West Ham, one of the league's worst teams at home. Man City, meanwhile, will be feeling just as groovy after escaping Anfield with all three points. Look for them to extend Fulham's poor run away from Craven Cottage. Have a gander below to find out the other two picks for these midweek clashes.
🔮 Premier League predictions: Matchweek 26
Here are my Premier League predictions for Matchweek 26 as part of our soccer picks this week.
| Match | Bet | Odds | Confidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fulham vs. Man City | Man City & Under 4.5 goals | -120 via BetMGM | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ |
| Bournemouth vs. Everton | Under 2.5 goals | +100 via FanDuel | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ |

💰 Best Premier League bet: Man City & Under 4.5 goals (-120) ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Man City kept its hopes of winning the Premier League title alive with an improbable last-gasp victory at Anfield. It should buoy the collective, facilitating a run that will put pressure on Premier League leaders Arsenal.
City has the second-best home record in the top flight, taking 29 of a possible 36 points. City is unbeaten in 10 matches in all competitions at Etihad Stadium, having won eight. Fulham's three away victories came against Burnley, West Ham, and Tottenham, three of the league's four worst home teams.
🔥 More Matchweek 26 predictions
Bournemouth vs. Everton: Under 2.5 goals (+100) ⭐⭐⭐⭐
While Bournemouth often plays in high-scoring matches, both of their previous two away matches featured two goals. Everton, meanwhile, is the master of the Under, with eight of the previous 10 Premier League matches seeing two goals or fewer.
That run includes three of the previous four at Goodison Park. The previous two Premier League matches between these teams featured a single goal, with each team winning once. Of the best sports betting sites, FanDuel offers the best price.
✅️ Prefer an Over?
If more goals is your thing, then you'll want to head over to my Newcastle vs. Tottenham prediction.
Brighton vs. Aston Villa pick: Aston Villa ML(-110) ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Brighton are tied with Newcastle and Sunderland for the fourth-worst away record, taking just 10 points from a possible 36. The Seagulls are winless in five away matches, having lost three.
Aston Villa, meanwhile, has lost two in a row at Villa Park. That uncharacteristic record should fall on Wednesday, with the Villains looking to stay within reach of the second-place Man City.
Manchester United vs. West Ham pick: Manchester United ML (-140) ⭐⭐⭐
Michael Carrick might not be the savior of United, but he's certainly given the Red Devils the shot in the arm they required. Carrick has a 100% record since rescuing the beleaguered team, having won all four matches, two of which against Man City and Arsenal.
He and his Red Devils travel to London Stadium to face a West Ham side tied with two other teams (Burnley and Tottenham) for the second-worst home record.
The Hammers have taken just 10 points from a possible 36 at a stadium that has one of the worst atmospheres in the top flight, especially when things are going awry. It's a 3-star pick due to the short odds.
