Premier League Predictions: Sunderland Tipped to End Arsenal’s Winning Run
Football betting expert Lewis Jones (Jones Knows) has delivered his latest round of Premier League predictions, tipping Sunderland to halt Arsenal’s 10-match winning streak this weekend. The weekend’s fixtures feature blockbuster encounters including Sunderland vs Arsenal, Chelsea vs Wolves, Aston Villa vs Bournemouth, Brentford vs Newcastle, Crystal Palace vs Brighton, and Manchester City vs Liverpool. Tottenham vs Manchester United (Saturday, 12:30 PM) Tottenham Hotspur’s home form continues to disappoint, with the club registering the fewest home points and most defeats among ever-present Premier League sides over the past year. Manchester United, meanwhile, remain unpredictable but entertaining. Jones tips goals rather than results here.Best Bet: Man Utd to score over 1.5 goals (10/11)Score Prediction: 2-2 Everton vs Fulham (Saturday, 3:00 PM) Jack Grealish continues to be the most fouled player in the league, creating value in card-based markets.Best Bet: Both Kenny Tete and Jack Grealish to be carded (12/1)Score Prediction: 1-1 West Ham vs Burnley (Saturday, 3:00 PM) Under Nuno Espirito Santo, West Ham’s counter-attacking style could bring Crysencio Summerville to prominence in attacking props markets.Best Bet: Summerville to score (3/1)Score Prediction: 2-1 (West Ham win) Sunderland vs Arsenal (Saturday, 5:30 PM) Arsenal’s stunning run of 10 wins and eight clean sheets in a row could finally come to an end, according to Jones. He argues that Sunderland’s defensive organisation and resilience from set pieces make them perfectly equipped to frustrate Mikel Arteta’s side.“This is the time to be brave and sail against the market,” Jones writes. “Sunderland are well-drilled, defensively sound, and have the tools to disrupt Arsenal’s rhythm.”Best Bets: Both Teams to Score (6/5), Sunderland to win (7/1), Sunderland to win to nil (12/1)Score Prediction: 2-1 (Sunderland win) Chelsea vs Wolves (Saturday, 8:00 PM) Referee Andrew Kitchen takes charge of only his fourth Premier League match, and Jones predicts a card-heavy clash.Best Bet: Over 4.5 cards (11/10)Score Prediction: 2-1 (Chelsea win) Aston Villa vs Bournemouth (Sunday, 2:00 PM) Fatigue from European commitments could make Aston Villa vulnerable to a fresh and organised Bournemouth side under Andoni Iraola.Best Bet: Bournemouth – Draw No Bet (11/8)Score Prediction: 2-1 (Bournemouth win) Brentford vs Newcastle (Sunday, 2:00 PM) Newcastle’s struggles away from home continue, with no league wins in eight away matches and just four goals scored in that run.Best Bet: Brentford – Draw No Bet (Evens)Score Prediction: 2-1 (Brentford win) Crystal Palace vs Brighton (Sunday, 2:00 PM) Danny Welbeck’s resurgence under Fabian Hürzeler continues, with six goal involvements in his last six games.Best Bet: Welbeck to score or assist (7/4)Score Prediction: 2-2 Nottingham Forest vs Leeds (Sunday, 2:00 PM) Sean Dyche’s influence at Forest is already visible, tightening up a previously leaky defence.Best Bet: Both Teams to Score – No (10/11)Score Prediction: 1-0 (Forest win) Manchester City vs Liverpool (Sunday, 4:30 PM) Jones cautions punters against short odds on Erling Haaland (3/1) to score first, noting his muted record against Virgil van Dijk — just two goals in seven meetings.Score Prediction: 2-2
