It’s that time of the week again! We’re back with Premier League predictions for Week 23. Emma and Dave go head-to-head as they share their thoughts on the matches and tally up their wins from previous weeks. But who’s on top? And who’s just scraping by? Let’s dive into their predictions and see what they think will unfold on the pitch.
Looking Back: Weeks 20, 21, and 22
Before jumping into this week’s predictions, Emma and Dave looked back at the results from Weeks 20, 21, and 22. It wasn’t all smooth sailing for Dave, who took a few heavy defeats at the hands of Emma. Despite some rough weeks, Dave managed to claw his way back a little—although Emma still seems to have a strong grip on the competition.
Here’s how the scoring played out across those weeks:
- Week 20: Emma crushed Dave (10-3). Highlights included Emma nailing the outcome of Tottenham versus Arsenal and getting a spot-on prediction for Chelsea’s draw.
- Week 21: A rare draw between the two, with both scoring 5 points. Predicting Brentford vs. City and United vs. Southampton helped balance things out.
- Week 22: Another tough week for Dave, with Emma clinching it 8-3. Aston Villa, Fulham, and Brentford were the games that made all the difference.
As the standings currently sit, Emma is leading in both the tally of weekly matchups and overall accuracy. But can she keep her streak alive heading into Week 23?
Week 23 Predictions
Let’s break down Emma and Dave’s predictions for each of the fixtures. With some tight matchups this week, both had interesting takes.
AFC Bournemouth vs. Nottingham Forest
Emma’s Prediction: 1-1
Dave’s Prediction: 1-1
Both teams are evenly matched in her eyes, making this one hard to call. A draw feels fair. Dave agrees with Emma—it’s a tough one and likely to be a stalemate.
Brighton & Hove Albion vs. Everton
Emma’s Prediction: 2-1 to Brighton
Dave’s Prediction: 2-0 to Brighton
Everton’s recent win over Spurs was surprising, but she doesn’t see it happening twice in a row. Brighton will likely capitalise on home advantage and secure a solid win.
Liverpool vs. Ipswich Town
Emma’s Prediction: 4-0 to Liverpool
Dave’s Prediction: 4-0 to Liverpool
Liverpool are unstoppable at the moment, and Ipswich simply can’t match their level. Dave also sees Liverpool’s firepower being far too much for the Tractor Boys to handle.
Southampton vs. Newcastle United
Emma’s Prediction: 3-0 to Newcastle
Dave’s Prediction: 3-1 to Newcastle
Newcastle are chasing Champions League spots and are several levels above Southampton in quality. Dave agrees Newcastle will win but expects Southampton to sneak a goal.
Wolves vs. Arsenal
Emma’s Prediction: 2-0 to Arsenal
Wolves are struggling, and Arsenal’s form makes the result feel inevitable. Dave’s keeping his cards close to his chest, Dave says you’ll need to check the Wolves’ preview for his official prediction.
Manchester City vs. Chelsea
Emma’s Prediction: 2-2
Dave’s Prediction: 2-2
Emma sees City continuing to improve, but Chelsea might just have enough to claim a draw. Matching Emma here, Dave also predicts a thrilling draw with goals on both sides.
Crystal Palace vs. Brentford
Emma’s Prediction: 2-1 to Palace
Dave’s prediction: 1-1
Palace’s home advantage and Brentford’s poor away form tip the scales slightly. Dave predicts a tightly contested match without a clear winner.
Tottenham Hotspur vs. Leicester City
Emma’s Prediction: 2-0 to Spurs
Dave’s Prediction 3-1 to Spurs
Even Spurs should manage to beat Leicester, whose form continues to underwhelm. Spurs’ tendency to concede a goal means Dave isn’t giving them a clean sheet.
Aston Villa vs. West Ham United
Emma’s Prediction: 2-0 to Aston Villa
Dave’s Prediction: 2-1 to Aston Villa
Villa’s comeback against Arsenal has boosted her faith in their ability to handle West Ham. Dave agrees Villa will win but expects a more competitive scoreline.
Fulham vs. Manchester United
Emma’s Prediction: 2-1 to Fulham
Dave’s Prediction: 2-1 to Fulham
Fulham are decent, and United’s inconsistency gives them a chance to snatch a win. Dave is also backing Fulham to take the win, mirroring Emma’s thoughts.
