Saturday's Premier League predictions including Crystal Palace vs. Man City

Sports Mole provides score predictions and previews for all of today's Premier League fixtures, including Crystal Palace vs. Man City.


Bournemouth vs. Liverpool (Saturday, 12.30pm)

Having both been involved in two of the season's most electrifying Premier League matches last week, Bournemouth and Liverpool renew hostilities at the Vitality Stadium on Saturday lunchtime.

The Cherries let a two-goal lead slip in a heartbreaking 3-2 loss to leaders Arsenal, while Jurgen Klopp's merciless men humiliated Manchester United 7-0 at Anfield.

We say: Bournemouth 0-3 Liverpool


With the new-look front three beginning to gel and a first-choice backline proving consistently resilient in the Premier League, Liverpool should face little resistance en route to a routine three points.

Bournemouth's attacking endeavours against Man City and Arsenal must be applauded, but even the odd consolation goal should be a step too far for the Cherries as Liverpool continue their top-four charge.

Our tipster partners are predicting an away win.

Everton vs. Brentford (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Everton host Brentford at Goodison Park in the Premier League on Saturday in a crucial battle at both ends of the table.

The home side are fighting for their top-flight future, while the visitors have aspirations of European football next season.

We say: Everton 0-1 Brentford


Everton are struggling to find the net on a consistent basis despite netting twice last week, with six of their eight goals since the World Cup coming from dead ball situations, and it could be their undoing again if they cannot take advantage of those specific opportunities here.

Brentford are one of the most confident and in-form sides in the Premier League at the moment, and will fancy their chances on the road against one of the favourites to go down at the end of the season.

Our tipster partners are predicting under 2.5 goals.

Leeds vs. Brighton (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Brighton & Hove Albion will continue their push for Europe when they travel to Elland Road to face relegation-threatened Leeds United in the Premier League on Saturday.

The Whites will be seeking revenge against the Seagulls after losing 1-0 in the reverse fixture at the Amex Stadium back in August.

We say: Leeds United 1-3 Brighton & Hove Albion


Brighton have conceded in each of their last nine Premier League away games, which will provide Leeds with confidence of breaching their backline on Saturday.

However, the Seagulls possess the attacking threat to outscore their opponents, and they will be regarded as firm favourites to claim maximum points at Elland Road to keep their European dreams alive.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 2.5 goals.

Leicester vs. Chelsea (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Fresh from claiming the biggest win of his Chelsea career so far, Graham Potter takes his Blues side to the King Power Stadium for Saturday's clash with a confidence-sapped Leicester City.

The visitors saw off Borussia Dortmund 2-1 on aggregate in the Champions League last 16 in midweek, while Brendan Rodgers's men went down 1-0 to Southampton last time out.

We say: Leicester City 0-1 Chelsea


Switching to a back three has evidently led to a greater sense of defensive discipline for Chelsea, whose staunch rearguard should keep a profligate and likely Barnes-less Leicester at bay with minimal difficulty.

Finding a clinical edge is still a work in progress for the Blues, but with confidence levels slowly rising on the back of recent results, we have faith in Potter's side to record a third win on the bounce.

Our tipster partners are predicting under 2.5 goals.

Spurs vs. Nott'm Forest (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Off the back of yet another dampening elimination from European competition, Tottenham Hotspur return to Premier League action against Nottingham Forest on Saturday afternoon.

Antonio Conte's men lost 1-0 on aggregate to AC Milan in their Champions League last-16 battle in midweek, while the Tricky Trees most recently drew 2-2 at home to Everton.

We say: Tottenham Hotspur 2-0 Nottingham Forest


There were glum faces aplenty in midweek, with many Tottenham fans braving the arctic blast to watch their side put in a performance as miserable as the weather, but a return to winning ways is surely on the agenda here.

Unable to replicate their unbeaten home streak on rival territory, Forest's continued lack of attacking threat away from home should cost them dear in a comprehensive defeat, but do not expect Spurs to find the back of the net at will.

Our tipster partners are predicting a home win.

Crystal Palace vs. Man City (Saturday, 5.30pm)

Manchester City will endeavour to keep the pressure on Premier League title rivals Arsenal when they travel to Selhurst Park to face Crystal Palace on Saturday evening.

While the Citizens have won four of their last five top-flight matches, the Eagles are still searching for their first victory in 2023.

We say: Crystal Palace 0-2 Manchester City


Man City may need time to get going on Saturday as all of their previous nine Premier League goals against Crystal Palace have come in the second half, but the Citizens have already shown their prolific qualities against the Eagles by netting four in the reverse fixture seven months ago.

Vieira's men, meanwhile, are struggling to pose a threat in the final third, and while the likes of Zaha can cause City problems on their day, we expect Guardiola and co to run out comfortable winners at Selhurst Park.

Our tipster partners are predicting an away win.
