IT'S THAT TIME AGAIN FOR DAVE & EM'S PREMIER LEAGUE PREDICTiONS
As football fans, there’s something magical about the build-up to a Premier League weekend. It’s that hopeful anticipation of your team pulling off a win, the joy of predicting results, and the friendly rivalries that come with it. This week, we’ve got predictions for Match Week 16, a recap of the last two weeks, a bit of banter, and even some festive gift ideas for footie fans. Let’s get into it!
Recap: Match Weeks 14 and 15
The past two weeks saw shock wins, surprising draws, and missed opportunities. Both Dave and Emma reflected on their predictions, with results swinging back and forth. Emma led the early weeks but has had to fend off a strong comeback from Dave. Here’s how they summed up the previous weeks:
- Match Week 14: A poor showing for both, with unexpected results like Bournemouth beating Tottenham and Villa underperforming. Dave edged Emma by just one point, making it 8-5 overall in their head-to-head.
- Match Week 15: A mixed bag again. Emma grabbed Bournemouth’s late win against Ipswich, while Dave nailed some exact scores, including Fulham v Arsenal. By the end of Match Week 15, Emma hit the 100-point mark, while Dave sat at 84.
The journey to reclaim the top spot isn’t over, folks, and there’s everything to play for.
Week 16 Premier League Predictions
Here’s where they stand for the upcoming battles. Will they get it right this time?
Arsenal vs Everton
Dave’s Prediction: Arsenal 3-0 Everton
Emma’s Prediction: Arsenal 2-0 Everton
Everton’s postponement last week might’ve disrupted any rhythm they’d gained from their big win over Wolves. Emma predicts a clean sheet for Arsenal, highlighting Everton’s scoring struggles, while Dave believes the Gunners will dominate with a three-goal margin.
Liverpool vs Fulham
Dave’s Prediction: Liverpool 2-0 Fulham
Emma’s Prediction: Liverpool 2-1 Fulham
Liverpool are strong at Anfield, and coming off a frustrating draw, they’ll be keen to make a statement. Emma thinks Fulham sneak a goal, but Dave isn’t convinced – he’s expecting Liverpool to keep it tidy at the back.
Newcastle vs Leicester
Dave’s Prediction: Newcastle 2-0 Leicester
Emma’s Prediction: Newcastle 2-2 Leicester
Leicester are enjoying a resurgence under Van Nistelroy, but Newcastle’s home advantage could prove too strong. Emma imagines a cagey draw, while Dave expects the Toon Army to seize a clean win.
Wolves vs Ipswich
Emma’s Prediction: Wolves 1-1 Ipswich
With Wolves entering a critical stretch, Emma’s being cautious. She predicts a tight match ending in a draw but remains hopeful Wolves could snatch a much-needed win. Dave’s keeping his Wolves prediction under wraps until his match preview tomorrow.
Nottingham Forest vs Aston Villa
Dave’s Prediction: 1-1 Draw
Emma’s Prediction: Nottingham Forest 2-1 Aston Villa
Home form could tip this in Forest’s favour, says Emma, as she backs them to edge past Villa. Dave believes it’ll be a stalemate, citing Villa’s inconsistency on the road.
Brighton vs Crystal Palace
Dave’s Prediction: 1-1 Draw
Emma’s Prediction: Brighton 2-1 Crystal Palace
Brighton’s strong record against Palace makes Emma optimistic for a narrow Seagulls win. For Dave, it’s one Derby where both sides might cancel each other out.
Manchester City vs Manchester United
Dave’s Prediction: 1-1 Draw
Emma’s Prediction: Manchester City 3-1 Manchester United
It’s a tale of inconsistency for United against the might of City’s attack. Emma’s backing the Citizens to bounce back big, but Dave envisions a more cautious, balanced affair.
Chelsea vs Brentford
Dave’s Prediction: Chelsea 3-1 Brentfor
Emma’s Prediction: Chelsea 2-1 Brentford
Chelsea are firing on all cylinders, firmly in the title race. Emma and Dave both expect a home win, though Dave predicts a bigger margin.
Southampton vs Tottenham
Dave’s Prediction: Spurs 2-0 Saints
Emma’s Prediction: Spurs 2-0 Saints
It’s rare that Dave and Emma agree, but Southampton don’t inspire much confidence. Tottenham, even with their erratic form, should have enough to secure the win.
West Ham vs Bournemouth
Dave’s Prediction: 1-1 Draw
Emma’s Prediction: Bournemouth 1-0 West Ham
Bournemouth’s organisation under Andoni Iraola has impressed Emma, leading her to back an away win. Dave remains unconvinced West Ham will crumble entirely, so he’s gone for a draw.
Can Wolves Turn Things Around?
Wolves fans, it’s a nail-biting time. With tough games ahead and little evidence of momentum, confidence is low. Discussions about management changes ripple through the club, but results speak louder than any rumour. Emma hopes for two wins before Christmas but isn’t ruling out two draws.
Want a gloomier outlook? Dave’s saving his Wolves prediction for the match preview tomorrow—let’s hope it’s optimistic.
