Premier League predictions for Matchday 13 Weekend
Hostilities resume tonight in the Premier League ahead of a cracking weekend of English football. With punters wagering on the would-be winners or losers of Matchday 13, TopNaija returns to foresee outcomes that could take shape in its Premier League predictions.
Friday the 29th November sets the weekend’s course with Brighton and Hove Albion taking on Southampton at the American Express Stadium at 9 PM kickoff time. Current form will favor the Seagulls as likely winners of this tie, however, the Saints’ last performance against Liverpool at the Saint Mary’s will give Brighton something to worry about ahead of facing Southampton.
We don’t think this game is as easy a fixture as some will be tricked into believing. For what it’s worth Southampton stands a chance of a surprise 1-2 win tonight.

Premier League predictions for Matchday 12 Weekend
The games resume proper on Saturday with Brentford taking on Leicester City later in mid-noon. In our Premier League predictions, we see a Brentford 3-1 win at home.
Crystal Palace versus Newcastle United is another game that form stands to be the decider. In our Premier League predictions for this fixture, we believe Newcastle will edge a 0-1 win away from the Saint James’ park.
Nottingham Forest versus Ipswich Town is possibly one tie that form may not be a parameter to weigh its eventual outcome. We think this game is a tricky one, specifically for Forest following their defeat to Arsenal last weekend. Our Premier League predictions has this fixture going for a 1-1 draw.
However, a home advantage for Nottingham Forest at the City Ground could also be a decider.
Wolverhampton Wanderers taking on a Bournemouth side currently 1-point behind Manchester United in 13th place is a tricky game for Wolves who are looking to avoid the relegation zones come Christmas. On paper, Wolves have built themselves a spirited-form with back-to-back wins, but can they do it in 3-consecutive weekends?
We predict a 2-2 draw.
West Ham United versus Arsenal looks that kind of fixture that the Gunners will go all out with guns blazing in, but our Premier League predictions has a different tale going for it. We think there is a shocker waiting to happen at the London Stadium this weekend in a possible 2-1 win for West Ham.
Super Sunday is where the heavy hitting clashes are with Chelsea taking on Aston Villa at an earlier kickoff in mid-noon. This could be a tricky tie for the Blues, however we think Enzo Maresca’s side will come out top in a 2-1 late win.
Manchester United versus Everton stands a real test for new manager Ruben Amorim who has promised the United fanbase some suffering before the light peers through the tunnel. Will they suffer versus the Toffees? Possibly. However, we think the Red Devils will salvage a 2-1 win at full-time.
Tottenham Hotspur versus Fulham is a mini-London derby that stands a tricky affair for Spurs. Following their 4-0 humbling of Manchester City last weekend, Spurs will be hyped as favorites for the win. In our Premier League predictions for this game, we think the Cottagers will stall any chance of a victory from their North London host in a 2-2 draw.
Liverpool hosting a troubled Pep Guardiola Manchester City side is the game everyone in the world will be waiting for this weekend. Will Arne Slot have his best weekend yet just days after beating Real Madrid at Anfield? Or will Pep Guardiola’s team awaken from its slumber to humiliate the Reds and bring them back to reality?
Everything is at stake in this game to pinpoint for a fact who stands the better chance to carve out a win from the tie. To stand on a safer side, predicting a 1-1 or 2-2 draw is the easier outcome. However, we do not see City dropping points this time. We predict a 1-2 win to reopen the gap in the Premier League.
