EPL 2024/25 Matchweek 12

The last international break of 2024 is over, so it is time to turn our attention back to the best league in the world: the Premier League. Liverpool sit atop the EPL table heading into Matchweek 12, with Manchester City a full five points behind the Reds. Chelsea and Arsenal sit 9 points back in third and fourth place, respectively.

To help you get ready for how the league could change this week, we have EPL betting tips and predictions for every single Matchweek 12 fixture. See our picks and best bets below.

Matchweek 12 Fixtures

Leicester City vs. Chelsea

Tip

King Power Stadium, 11:30 PM, Saturday, November 23

After their 1-1 draw with Arsenal, Chelsea are third in the table. They are far off the title race, but it’s really been a remarkable season for the Blues under Enzo Maresca so far.

Leicester City, Maresca’s old side, are far from the top of the table, but they’ve impressed in their own right. The Foxes are 15th in the table with impressive results against sides like Bournemouth and Tottenham. There are signs that the wheels are starting to fall off though.

The Foxes are on a four match winless streak. Three of those matches were losses by more than one goal. The one match they didn’t lose was a disappointing 1-1 draw against a 10-man Ipswich town.

Leicester haven’t kept a clean sheet in five matches. They conceded first in each of those games. Chelsea should score here and convincingly beat the Foxes.

Our prediction is a 3-1 win for Chelsea.

Bournemouth vs. Brighton & Hove Albion

Tip

Vitality Stadium, 2:00 AM, Sunday, November 24

This Bournemouth vs. Brighton match is the most anticipated South Coast derby in years. Against ‘big teams’ the Cherries look like one of the most formidable teams in the league under new manager Andoni Iraola. Versus smaller sides though, Bournemouth have struggled.

Brighton are in the exact same boat. The Seagulls can give any of the Big 6 a run for their money, including Man City, who they beat 2-1 before the international break. Against relegation candidates, like Wolves and Ipswich, Brighton struggle.

Brighton should be the more dominant side here, which gives Bournemouth the upper hand here. The Seagulls also tend to rest players after international breaks more than most sides. Kaoru Mitoma, Simon Adingra, Yankuba Minteh, Pervis Estupinan, and/or Yasin Ayari all could not feature in this match after playing with their national teams this week.

Our prediction is a 2-1 win for Bournemouth.

Arsenal vs. Nottingham Forest

Tip

Emirates Stadium, 2:00 AM, Sunday, November 24

Arsenal’s title chances are slowly slipping out of their grasps. The Gunners are nine points off the top and need to get back to their winning ways quickly.

On the side, Nottingham Forest have surpassed all expectations and are on track to finish the season in a Europa League qualification spot. The Reds have won three of their last five matches, but suffered a surprising slip up at home against Newcastle before the international break.

Arsenal have lost two of their last three matches and have failed to keep a clean sheet in all three of those fixtures. They haven’t been completely open though. Five of the Gunners’ last seven games have had less than 2.5 goals.

Arteta’s side simply can’t score. That’s a problem against a solid side like Forest. We still think they will win here, but there won’t be many goals.

Our prediction is a 1-0 win to Arsenal.

Aston Villa vs. Crystal Palace

Tip

Villa Park, 2:00 AM, Sunday, November 24

Aston Villa’s top four chances have taken a massive hit in recent weeks. The Villains have lost four straight matches in all competitions and haven’t won in the PL since 19 October.

Crystal Palace, meanwhile, have regressed after their big 1-0 win over Tottenham. The Eagles drew 2-2 with relegation candidates Wolves, then lost 2-0 to Fulham at home before the international break.

Prior to those two poor results though, Palace beat Aston Villa 2-1 in the EFL Cup. Glasner’s side actually have beaten Villa twice in their last two matches. The Eagles pummelled Unai Emery's side 5-0 at the end of last season.

However, that match was at Selhurst Park, and–from what we’ve seen from Palace this season–that result looks like a bit of a fluke.

Villa are unbeaten in each of their last four matches at Villa Park in the PL, while actually underperforming their xG at home this season.

We think the home field advantage will be too much for Palace to overcome. Our prediction is a 2-0 win to Aston Villa.

Everton vs. Brentford

Tip

Goodison Park, 2:00 AM, Sunday, November 24

Brentford’s 3-2 win over Bournemouth was arguably the best game of EPL Matchweek 11 before the international break. It was also a great example of the Bee’s great form at home this season. We’re focused on their away form though.

Thomas Frank’s side have the second worst away record in the EPL this season. They have lost all five of their road matches. Admittedly, they have had a tough away schedule, but away form has been a problem for the Bees since they were promoted. Until they prove us otherwise this season, we can’t rely on them on the road.

Everton, meanwhile, have lost just one of their last five home matches. However, the Toffees have just one win during that period, so they aren’t exactly juggernauts at home. They are good defensively though.

Each of Everton’s last five matches have had less than 2.5 goals. We’re predicting another low-scoring affair this weekend. Our pick is a 1-1 draw.

Fulham vs. Wolverhampton Wanderers

Tip

Craven Cottage, 2:00 AM, Sunday, November 24

Wolves picked up their first win of the season before the international break with a convincing 2-0 win over fellow relegation candidates Southampton. That was the third match in a row that Gary O’Neil’s side had scored two goals or more. It was their first clean sheet of the season.

As impressive as that win was for Wolves, they will have to work very hard to get a win again in Matchweek 12.

Wolves have lost nine of their last 11 matches on the road following a win. Fulham have lost to Wolves just once at Craven Cottage since 2018.

Beyond history, Fulham have been really good this season. They are better than the betting sites think at least. Fulham have scored first in six of their last seven matches and have the seventh best expected goal difference in the league.

We’re predicting a 2-1 win for Fulham here.

Manchester City vs. Tottenham Hotspur

Tip

Etihad Stadium, 4:30 AM, Sunday, November 24

Manchester City have made a habit of starting slow and turning it on in the second half of the season to win the title. This year feels different though.

The Sky Blues have lost four matches in a row, which is something that has never happened to a side coached by Pep Guardiola. It’s not like they have been unlucky either.

Man City’s opponents had more big chances than them in each of their last four losses. Even in their wins, Pep’s side have not been convincing. Their last EPL win by multiple goals was in August.

Tottenham have not been at their best either, losing 2-1 to Ipswich before the international break. However, the club has been a tough team for City to beat in recent years. Tottenham have a 2-2-1 record in their last five matches against City.

We can’t pick a winner here, but we’re sure there will be goals. Our prediction is a 2-2 draw.

Southampton vs. Liverpool

Tip

St. Mary's Stadium, 1:00 AM, Monday, November 25

With their 2-0 win over Aston Villa and Man City’s 2-1 loss to Brighton before the international break, Liverpool are now the betting sites favourite to win the EPl this season. The Reds have allowed just six EPL goals and are on a 13-match unbeaten streak. They have scored two or more goals in five of their last six matches.

Southampton do not have a chance here. Saints have the worst attack in the Premier League, with just seven goals from 11 matches. They have failed to score in two of their last three matches and have conceded 3+ goals in a match four times this season.

We’re not going to overthink it here. Our prediction is Liverpool 3-0 Southampton.

Ipswich Town vs. Manchester United

Tip

Portman Road, 3:30 AM, Monday, November 25

This match will be the first for Manchester United under new boss Ruben Amorim. A lot of EPL predictions have looked at Ipswich Town’s position in the table and the so-called “new manager bump” to predict a Man Utd win. We are not so sure it will be that easy for the Red Devils.

Ipswich Town have lost just once at home this season and have generally looked solid against better sides. After all, the Tractor Boys upset Tottenham 2-1 just before the international break.

We are not saying Ipswich will win, but there are reasons to worry about United’s chances here.

Amorim’s tactics are not a good fit for this current Man Utd squad. Players like Bruno Fernandes and Marcus Rashford will be asked to play outside of their normal positions, and the club don’t have enough defenders.

Our prediction is a 2-1 victory for Man Utd, but if you want to back an underdog this week, Ipswich are the team you should take a punt on.

Newcastle United vs. West Ham United

Tip

St. James' Park, 7:00 AM, Tuesday, November 26

After an impressive 2-1 win over Manchester United in Matchweek 10, West Ham are back their old bad selves. The Hammers lost 3-0 to Nottingham Forest and could manage a 0-0 draw versus Everton at home.

Newcastle, meanwhile, have won three straight matches and have lost just one of their five games at home so far this season. The Magpies have done this with an extremely injured back line. They will be even more limited this week with Dan Burn suspended.

Even without Burn, Newcastle are good value to get a win here. West Ham are still without Mohammed Kudus and have struggled to score away from home. The Hammers haven’t scored more than one goal away from home this season and all three of their losses away from home have been by three goals or more.

Our prediction is a 2-1 win for Newcastle.
