Match weeks are flying by, and the Premier League continues to be as wild and unpredictable as ever. With the action heating up and teams fighting for every point, it’s time to look forward to Match Week 13 while reflecting on the drama of weeks gone by. Let’s dive into this week’s predictions, results, and some fun extras along the way.
Recap of Match Week 12: The Unpredictable Rollercoaster
Firstly, let’s recognise the chaos that unfolded in Match Week 12. From scorelines no one saw coming to key moments that left fans shaking their heads, it was vintage Premier League drama. The biggest highlight? Team Dave’s comeback in the prediction league, narrowing the gap on Team Emma.
After being 30 points behind earlier in the season, Dave has clawed his way nearer, but Emma’s lead remains significant. Premier League predictions aren’t just a game of numbers — they’re a test of faith, intuition, and, let’s face it, some luck. Emma’s faith faltered when it came to Wolves, and Dave pounced, using the momentum to notch back-to-back victories in recent weeks.
If anything’s clear after Match Week 12, it’s this: the Premier League is as unpredictable as it gets, and Team Dave isn’t giving up without a fight.
Match Week 13 Predictions: Friday Night Kicks Off the Drama
Brighton vs Southampton
The South Coast derby under the lights – a clash between Brighton’s soaring Seagulls and Southampton’s struggling Saints. Brighton sit pretty in fifth, level with Arsenal and Chelsea, while Southampton languish with just four points. Can Southampton spoil the party? It doesn’t look likely.
- Dave: Brighton 3 Southampton 0
- Emma: Brighton 3 Southampton 1
Dave’s going for the clean sheet; Emma thinks the Saints might sneak one. Either way, Brighton look solid for the win.
Brentford vs Leicester
It’s the busy bees against the foxes, with Brentford doing a great job scoring goals this season. Leicester, meanwhile, are on shaky ground after sacking their manager. Will they bounce back with a surprise result? Not likely
- Dave Brentford 2 Leicester 0
- Emma: Brentford 2 Leicester 0
Brentford 2-0 Leicester Both Emma and Dave agree on this one — Brentford look too strong at home.
Crystal Palace vs Newcastle
Palace are flirting with the relegation zone, while Newcastle are trying to recover from a rocky spell of inconsistency. It feels like a battle of two teams desperate for momentum.
- Emma’s Prediction: Newcastle 2-0
- Dave’s Prediction: A tighter 1-1 draw.
Nottingham Forest vs Ipswich
Can the Trees hold off the Tractor Boys? Forest are coming off tough losses to Arsenal and Newcastle, but that’s no shame. Ipswich have been a surprise package, though, and they might just pull something out of the bag.
- Prediction: A cautious 1-1 draw from both Emma and Dave.
Wolves vs Bournemouth
Wolves fans, it’s time to believe! Bournemouth aren’t great on the road, and this could be Gary O’Neil’s chance to get one over his old club. Wolves need momentum badly, and this feels like a winnable fixture.
- Emma’s Prediction: Wolves 2-1 Bournemouth
- Dave’s keeping his score a secret for now, but hopes are high for a Wolves victory.
Sunday’s Big Fixtures: Can Arsenal and Chelsea Dominate?
West Ham vs Arsenal
The Gunners look sharp and focused, but West Ham’s surprise victory at Newcastle shows they can’t be written off. Still, Arsenal seem too strong.
- Prediction: Arsenal 2-1 West Ham Once again, Emma and Dave align on this tight contest.
Chelsea vs Aston Villa
Villa seem to have recovered from their wobbly start and could push Chelsea all the way in this one. However, home advantage tends to count.
- Prediction: Both go with Chelsea 2-0 Aston Villa
Manchester United vs Everton
All eyes are on United’s new manager in his first Old Trafford outing. Everton, struggling near the bottom, might be in for a tough afternoon.
- Emma’s Prediction: Manchester United 3-1
- Dave’s Prediction: Manchester United 2-0
Tension at the Top
Tottenham vs Fulham
Tottenham are buzzing after beating Man City, and Fulham will have to regroup after their loss to Wolves. Can Spurs keep the pressure on the league leaders?
- Emma’s Prediction: Tottenham 3-1 Fulham
- Dave’s Prediction: Tottenham 2-0 Fulham
Liverpool vs Manchester City
Liverpool are flying, and City’s form has nosedived in spectacular fashion. With five straight league defeats, the once-dominant champions are now the league’s whipping boys. Can they pull off the upset, or will Liverpool extend their lead at the top?
- Emma’s Prediction: Liverpool 3-2 Manchester City
- Dave’s Prediction: Liverpool 2-1 Manchester City
The clash also has wider implications. If City lose again, the gap to Liverpool at the top could become insurmountable. The pressure is on.
