Premier League Weekend Preview & Predictions (13–14 September 2025)

The Premier League returns after the international break with a full round of fixtures that promise drama, goals, and high-stakes football. From Arsenal’s clash with Nottingham Forest to the Manchester derby at the Etihad, every match carries its own story. Below is your detailed guide to each fixture, with kick-off times, venues, stats, and predictions.

Arsenal vs Nottingham Forest

Date & Kick-Off:13 Sept, 14:30(EAT)

Venue:Emirates Stadium, London

Arsenal host Nottingham Forest in the early Saturday kick-off. The Gunners, who stumbled against Liverpool before the break, will be eager to reassert themselves at the Emirates. Mikel Arteta’s side boast a strong home record and rarely slip against teams outside the top six. Despite some injuries to key players, their depth should prove decisive.

Forest enter this game under new management. Ange Postecoglou has taken charge following Nuno Espírito Santo’s departure, and while his attacking football is exciting, it will take time for his squad to adapt. Forest have looked competitive but inconsistent, and a trip to North London is one of the toughest challenges on the calendar.

Key Stat: Arsenal have never lost to Forest at home in the Premier League.

Prediction:Arsenal 3-1 Nottingham Forest

Hustlers Tip: Arsenal 

 Newcastle United vs Wolverhampton

Date & Kick-Off:13 Sept, 17:00(EAT)

Venue:St James’ Park

Newcastle United will be full of energy at St James’ Park, where their passionate fans make life difficult for visiting teams. Eddie Howe’s men have been strong at home, mixing physicality with sharp pressing. They’ll look to set the tempo early against Wolverhampton.

Wolves, on the other hand, tend to be compact and organized but lack a consistent goal threat away from home. They rely heavily on counterattacking opportunities and set pieces. Against Newcastle’s aggressive high press, they may struggle to create clear chances.

Key Stat: Newcastle have kept 4 clean sheets in their last 6 Premier League home games.

Prediction: Newcastle 2-0 Wolves

Hustlers Tip: Newcastle 

Fulham vs Leeds United

Date & Kick-Off:13 Sept, 17:00(EAT)

Venue: Craven Cottage

Fulham welcome Leeds to Craven Cottage in a clash that promises attacking football. Marco Silva’s men thrive at home, with Aleksandar Mitrović continuing to be their focal point. The Cottagers also benefit from wide players who deliver dangerous service into the box.

Leeds, meanwhile, bring pace and intensity. Their high-pressing game unsettles opponents but often leaves gaps at the back. On their day, they can overwhelm teams, but their defensive record has been patchy. Fulham’s physicality could exploit those weaknesses.

Key Stat:Four of the last five meetings between these two sides have seen both teams score.

Prediction:Fulham 2-1 Leeds United

Hustlers Tip: Fullham 

 Everton vs Aston Villa

Date & Kick-Off:13 Sept, 17:00

Venue:Goodison Park

Goodison Park will be buzzing as Everton take on Aston Villa. Sean Dyche’s Everton have shown flashes of resilience but remain inconsistent in attack. Home advantage could help them, though defensive lapses continue to cost them points.

Aston Villa, under Unai Emery, arrive with a more settled side. They’ve added depth across the pitch and play a controlled yet aggressive style. Their away form has been improving, and their front line has the quality to unlock Everton’s defense.

Key Stat:Villa have won three of their last four matches against Everton in the league.

Prediction:Everton 1-2 Aston Villa

Hustlers Tip: Everton 

Crystal Palace vs Sunderland

Date & Kick-Off: 13 Sept, 17:00

Venue: Selhurst Park

Crystal Palace have been strong at home, with Selhurst Park always providing a lively atmosphere. Eberechi Eze remains their creative spark, supported by a disciplined defense that rarely gives much away.

Sunderland, newly promoted, continue to adapt to Premier League pace. They have shown fight and determination but lack top-flight experience. Away games against mid-table teams like Palace are often where new clubs struggle most.

Key Stat:Palace are unbeaten in their last five home league games.

Prediction:Crystal Palace 2-0 Sunderland

Hustlers Tip: Crystal Palace 

Bournemouth vs Brighton

Date & Kick-Off: 13 Sept, 17:00

Venue:Vitality Stadium

The south-coast derby between Bournemouth and Brighton should be an exciting contest. Bournemouth have improved under their current management and use their pace in attack to trouble defenses. Playing at home, they’ll fancy their chances of pulling off an upset.

Brighton, however, are known for their possession-based, free-flowing style. They create plenty of chances and have been among the highest scorers in recent seasons. The challenge for them remains defensive stability, particularly in away games.

Key Stat:Brighton have scored two or more goals in seven of their last ten Premier League games.

Prediction:Bournemouth 1-2 Brighton

Hustlers Tip: Draw

West Ham vs Tottenham

Date & Kick-Off:13 Sept, 19:30

Venue: London Stadium

A fiery London derby awaits as West Ham host Tottenham. The Hammers are physical and dangerous from set pieces, with Michail Antonio and Jarrod Bowen always threats on the break. Their fans demand a strong performance in this rivalry.

Tottenham, meanwhile, are adapting to life after several squad changes. They remain a high-energy, attack-minded side, with players capable of producing moments of magic. Their recent away form has improved, and they’ll look to dominate possession.

Key Stat: Spurs have lost just once in their last six league visits to West Ham.

Prediction:West Ham 1-2 Tottenham

Hustlers Tip: Tottenham 

Brentford vs Chelsea

Date & Kick-Off:13 Sept, 22:00

Venue:Gtech Community Stadium

Brentford vs Chelsea is set up as a fascinating encounter. Brentford have been a tough nut to crack at home, with their physicality and aerial presence causing problems for top teams. Thomas Frank’s side relish playing against London rivals.

Chelsea, meanwhile, remain a work in progress but show signs of improvement. Their youthful squad is starting to gel, and their attacking play looks sharper with every match. Still, they lack consistency and sometimes struggle against compact defenses.

Key Stat:Brentford are unbeaten in their last three meetings with Chelsea.

Prediction:Brentford 1-1 Chelsea

Hustlers Tip:GG or Draw

Burnley vs Liverpool

Date & Kick-Off:14 Sept, 16:00

Venue:Turf Moor

Burnley host Liverpool in what looks like a mismatch on paper. Vincent Kompany’s men will play their structured style but may find it difficult to deal with the Reds’ attacking speed and pressing.

Liverpool come into this match on a high after dismantling Arsenal. Mohamed Salah, Darwin Núñez, and their midfield runners are in fine form. Turf Moor has historically been a tough place to visit, but Liverpool’s recent record here is excellent.

Key Stat: Liverpool have won six of their last seven matches against Burnley.

Prediction:Burnley 0-3 Liverpool

Hustlers Tip: Liverpool 

 Manchester City vs Manchester United

Date & Kick-Off: 14 Sept, 18:30

Venue:Etihad Stadium

The Manchester derby is the headline fixture of the weekend. City, stung by recent defeats, will be determined to remind everyone why they’re still title favorites. Pep Guardiola’s side dominate possession and create waves of pressure at the Etihad.

United enter the derby with confidence after a win over Burnley, but they remain vulnerable defensively. Injuries to key players haven’t helped, and they’ll need Bruno Fernandes and Marcus Rashford to deliver big moments if they’re to get anything here.

Key Stat:The last five Manchester derbies have produced 18 goals.

Prediction:Manchester City 2-1 Manchester United

Hustlers Tip: Draw

Hustlers Thoughts

This weekend’s Premier League fixtures promise entertainment across the board. Arsenal should reassert themselves at home, while Liverpool are expected to brush aside Burnley. Brighton and Aston Villa look strong on their travels, and Spurs will aim for bragging rights in their London derby with West Ham.

The highlight, of course, is the Manchester derby. City are favourites at home, but derbies often produce surprises. With every team fighting for points early in the season, fans can expect goals, passion, and drama across all ten matches.
