Premier League Predictions

This round's fixtures and best prices

Prices are the best sampled per selection at the time of writing. Where an operator is named, that's who was posting the top price.

• Arsenal v Coventry City (21 Aug, 19:00): Home 1.19, Draw 7.60, Away 17.0 (10bet). A clear odds-on favourite — the market barely rates the visitors.
• Hull City v Manchester United (22 Aug, 11:30): Home 8.00, Draw 4.90, Away 1.43 (10bet). United priced short as the away favourite.
• Everton v Crystal Palace (22 Aug, 14:00): Home 2.20, Draw 3.50, Away 3.45 (10bet). A tight one, with the hosts marginally favoured.
• Ipswich Town v Sunderland (22 Aug, 14:00): Home 2.75, Draw 3.40, Away 2.65 (10bet). About as even as the board gets.
• Nottingham Forest v Leeds United (22 Aug, 14:00): Home 2.31, Draw 3.50, Away 3.25 (10bet).
• Brentford v Tottenham Hotspur (22 Aug, 16:30): Home 2.45, Draw 3.70, Away 2.85 (10bet).
• Brighton v Aston Villa (23 Aug, 13:00): Home 2.20, Draw 3.60, Away 2.88 (Betway).
• Manchester City v Bournemouth (23 Aug, 13:00): Home 1.44 (Sportingbet), Draw 5.00 (Betway), Away 5.75 (Sportingbet).
• Newcastle United v Liverpool (23 Aug, 15:30): Home 3.40 (Betway), Draw 3.80 (Betway), Away 1.93 (Sportingbet). Liverpool the away favourite in a genuine top-six clash.
• Fulham v Chelsea (24 Aug, 19:00): Home 3.10 (Betway), Draw 3.75 (Betway), Away 2.10 (Sportingbet).

How to read these predictions

The implied probability of any price is roughly 1 divided by the decimal odds. Arsenal at 1.19 implies about an 84% chance; Liverpool at 1.93 away to Newcastle implies around 52%. That gap between a heavy favourite and a genuine coin-toss is what separates a fixture worth backing straight from one better suited to a Bet Builder or Cash Out approach.

Use these prices as a starting read on the round, not a guaranteed outcome. Injuries, rotation and late team news shift lines quickly — a fixture that opens at 2.20 can drift or shorten well before kick-off. Keep an eye on our market movers page to spot where money is landing.

Where the best Premier League prices come from

Across the fixtures sampled, 10bet and Betway carry most of the top prices this round, with Sportingbet posting the best number on a handful of away selections (Man City, Newcastle v Liverpool and Fulham v Chelsea).

On our wider odds sampling, Betway returned the best price on roughly 91% of markets checked (238 sampled) at an average margin near 6.5%. 10bet showed the tightest average margin at about 4.8% and the top price on roughly 85% of a smaller 27-market sample. Sportingbet sat lower on best-price share (about 28% of 39 markets) but still leads on specific away lines this weekend — which is exactly why comparing per fixture beats picking one bookie for everything.

Margin matters over a season: the lower the built-in margin, the more of the true price you keep. That's the practical case for line-shopping every Premier League matchday rather than sticking to one account.
