2025/26 Premier League Season: Matchday 31 Predictions and Score Picks

Matchday 31 of the 2025/26 Premier League season is here. Below are score predictions for this weekend’s matches in the English top flight.

Bournemouth 1-2 Manchester United

Bournemouth is a tough opponent for the top clubs, especially with Junior Eli Kroupi stepping up in front of goal. Manchester United will face a challenging match away from home.

However, United, under Michael Carrick, can be dangerous. With Benjamin Sesko in good form, they’re in a strong position. They might have to work hard, but United should secure a win.

Brighton 2-2 Liverpool

Liverpool appear to struggle in the Premier League compared to their Champions League performances, as seen in their recent game against Galatasaray at Anfield.

On the road, facing one of the toughest Premier League teams, Liverpool’s shaky defense might lead to late-game struggles and dropped points, similar to last week’s draw with Tottenham Hotspur.

Fulham 1-0 Burnley

Everton 0-2 Chelsea

Chelsea has faced challenges under Liam Rosenior, but some criticisms may be excessive. While he deserves scrutiny for certain choices, not all issues stem from him.

Chelsea is likely to rebound against Everton, who are still vying for European spots but have struggled against stronger teams. Chelsea should perform well defensively and show they are still in contention for the Champions League.

Leeds 0-1 Brentford

Newcastle 1-1 Sunderland

The rivalry between Newcastle and Sunderland returns to the Premier League. Though Newcastle is favored based on squad value, they are only two points ahead of Sunderland in the standings.

Newcastle may leverage their home advantage at St. James’s Park to avoid a loss in this derby. Still, they appear vulnerable after a recent heavy defeat against Barcelona.

Tottenham 2-1 Nottingham Forest

While Arsenal and Manchester City are set for the League Cup Final, many may consider Tottenham Hotspur vs. Nottingham Forest the top match to watch this weekend.

Given the recent managerial changes and past conflicts, Forest aims to fight against Spurs. Without Thomas Frank, Spurs have looked better, and their recent form should give them confidence going into this match.

Aston Villa 2-2 West Ham

Aston Villa vs. West Ham is hard to predict. Despite Villa’s stronger position in the table, the pressure of the relegation battle can push teams to exceed expectations.

West Ham has been improving gradually and is likely to score key goals, posing a threat to a Villa side that hasn’t won in their last four Premier League matches.
