Chelsea vs Everton Prediction: Blues to bounce back after Euro blow

  • Date: 13/12/2025
  • Kick-off time: 16:00
  • Our tip: Chelsea to beat Everton @ 4/6 with Sky Bet

While Chelsea climbed up the Premier League table after an excellent run, they have failed to win in their last four matches across all competitions. Defeat to Atalanta in midweek was a setback, but they will be confident on home soil. The Blues have only lost twice at Stamford Bridge this season, winning six times.

Meanwhile, Everton head to London in very strong form, having won four of their last five matches in the league. Their away victories over Manchester United and Bournemouth were excellent, but they might struggle in this match. The Toffees have only beaten Chelsea twice in their nine meetings, and haven’t won away since 2011.

Arsenal vs Wolves Prediction: Gunners to hunt down Wolves

Arsenal suffered a setback over the weekend as they were beaten by Aston Villa late in the game. Mikel Arteta’s men have also performed slightly worse since their victory over Bayern Munich. They will travel to Club Brugge in midweek, but they face the division’s worst team this weekend, so they will be confident of winning.

Wolverhampton Wanderers are currently on course to set a new record for the lowest points tally in Premier League history. They’ve lost eight consecutive games and are yet to secure their first victory of the season. Rob Edwards and his side are destined for the Championship, and could suffer a heavy defeat at the Emirates Stadium.

West Ham vs Aston Villa Prediction: Tough Test for the Hammers

West Ham United has been inconsistent recently. Although they have lost only one of their last six matches, they have not won in their last four games. The Hammers are stuck in the relegation zone after 15 games, but they have faced tough opponents such as Liverpool, Arsenal, and Brighton. Sean Dyche’s team will play at home, but home advantage has not helped them much this season. They are expected to struggle.

In contrast, Aston Villa are currently one of the most in-form teams in the world, and head to London following five consecutive league wins. Although they have a midweek clash with Basel in the Europa League, that shouldn’t be a major concern. Unai Emery’s men have won every Premier League game they’ve played after a European fixture this season.

Brentford vs Leeds Prediction: Bees to bounce back at home

Brentford have struggled recently, as they lost four of their last six and fell to 14th place. However, they have faced some difficult opponents during that run and still managed to defeat Newcastle United and Burnley. At home, they’ve won all but two of the matches they’ve played all season.

Meanwhile, Leeds United have improved significantly, rising to 16th place after beating Chelsea, drawing with Liverpool, and scoring eight goals in three games. However, they’ve struggled on the road, having lost all but one of their games away from Elland Road. This statistic will give the Bees confidence.

Man United vs Bournemouth Prediction: Cherries to struggle at Old Trafford

Manchester United are sixth as they prepare to welcome Bournemouth to Old Trafford on Monday night. Ruben Amorim has overseen a run that’s resulted in just one defeat across their last nine games. Moreover, they dominated Wolves 4-1 in their last match. With home advantage, they will aim for back-to-back wins.

After a brilliant start to the season, Bournemouth’s form has declined. They travel to Manchester on a six-game winless run. Andoni Iraola will be desperate to try to improve the situation, but this match will be difficult. They haven’t scored in either of their last two matches, which is why a home win is likely in this fixture.
