Matchday 19 – Schedule and Predictions

Chelsea vs Bournemouth

Chelsea will welcome Bournemouth on 30 December 2025 at Stamford Bridge. This EPL game will start at 02:30 p.m. ET.

Standings

Chelsea ranks 5^th in the Premier League standings.

Bournemouth is 15^th in the EPL rankings, sitting in the lower ranks of the standings.

Prediction

Chelsea is significantly better than Bournemouth in the current season. They have been having a better offensive run in the recent games despite some irregular outcomes. For the past five games, they have won only one game and drawn three games, with a loss. Although their last five games were not good, their scoring form is above average. Defensively, they have solid blocking that has a +11 as a goal differential. They have scored 30 times while allowing only 19. Bournemouth, on the other hand, is at 15^th rank and is worse in every aspect than Chelsea. Their defense is weak with a -6 goal differential, highlighting an opportunity for Chelsea to score. Bournemouth’s poor performance this season shows their inconsistent and unreliable form. Their squad has been dealing with poor coordination and shot-making. Considering Chelsea’s better form, they will win over Bournemouth at home in this EPL game.

Arsenal vs Aston Villa

Arsenal and Aston Villa will face each other in the upcoming EPL game on 30 December 2025 at Emirates Stadium. This Premier League game will start at 03:15 p.m. ET.

Standings

Arsenal leads the Premier League standings in first position.

Aston Villa ranks 3^rd in the Premier League standings.

Prediction

Arsenal is obviously enjoying a good year in both the EPL and UCL. Their current campaigns are tremendously successful, given their dominating wins and record. Defensively, Arsenal is too strong as they have conceded only 11 goals overall, the fewest in the league. They have won in 4 of their last five games, which is consistently good. Similarly, Aston Villa is doing well this season, having won 12 of 18 games. They have scored 29 overall goals in the season so far, but they have conceded 19 goals. Even though their goal differential is positive, it is slightly less powerful than Arsenal’s. But they have a consistent record of unbeatable winning streak for their last eleven games across all formats. In addition, they have already beaten Arsenal at home earlier in the season. So, this game will be a tight contest, with Aston Villa holding a slight advantage.

Manchester United vs Wolverhampton Wolves

Wolverhampton Wolves will visit Manchester United on 30 December 2025. This Premier League game will begin at 03:15 p.m. ET at Old Trafford Stadium.

Standings

Manchester United ranks 6^th in the current Premier League standings.

Wolverhampton Wolves stand at 20^th in the standings.

Prediction

Manchester United has a decent record to begin with. They have performed fairly well in the current season against all odds. They even have a positive goal differential, as they have scored 32 goals while allowing only 28 goals. Manchester United’s last game was a win, and their last five games show their stability despite getting mixed outcomes. Their possession near the goal line was aggressive, and they constantly pressured Newcastle in their last game. Conversely, Wolverhampton Wolves are beyond repair in the current season. Their form is worryingly poor, as they remain winless in 18 matchups. They have managed only two draws, and they are literally one of the worst seasons. With the highest negative goal differential, the Wolves come with an easy-to-beat kind of form. This will create more opportunities for Manchester United to beat them. So, Manchester United will win in this EPL game.

Liverpool vs Leeds United

Liverpool and Leeds United are playing in the upcoming Premier League game. This EPL showdown is scheduled to happen at Anfield on 01 January 2026 at 12:30 p.m. ET.

Standings

Liverpool is ranked 4^th in the Premier League rankings.

Leeds United is ranked 16^th in the Premier League standings.

Prediction

Liverpool comes with a strong momentum from their three-game winning streak. They have secured ten victories along with some notable clean sheets, drawn two games, and lost six games. Their biggest strength is the Egyptian forward, Mohamed Salah. His striking ability gives the team a competitive edge over Leeds United. Particularly at home, Liverpool is more prone to clean sheet wins. In addition, players like Florian Wirtz, Virgil van Dijk, and Alexander Isak further strengthen the team’s offensive side. Leeds United, on the other hand, has a below-average league record. They have won only five games and lost eight games, which shows their poor team quality. Compared to Liverpool, Leeds United has no significant contributors other than occasionally good forwards. But this is not enough for them to outscore Liverpool’s exceptional playmaking. Moreover, Liverpool gets a home advantage too. Therefore, Liverpool is the favorite to win in this EPL game.

Sunderland vs Manchester City

Manchester City rivals Sunderland on 01 January 2026 at the Stadium of Light, Sunderland’s home, at 03:00 p.m. ET.

Standings

Sunderland has acquired the 7^th spot in the EPL standings.

Manchester City ranks 2^nd in the EPL rankings.

Prediction

Sunderland is good in the league with a convincing record and performance. They have won and drawn seven matches while losing four games. Although they have a good form and a solid league performance, Manchester City’s above-average quality still overpowers them. Sunderland’s defense has given them a +2 goal differential, which is significantly poor when compared with Manchester City’s +26. They have the highest goal differential in the league yet. Additionally, Sunderland struggles with consistency, whereas Manchester City has a strong winning streak. Sunderland has won only once in their last five games. Meanwhile, Manchester City has won all five of its previous games. Above all, Manchester City has elite players like Erling Haaland, Phil Foden, and Ryan Cherki. This trio is dangerously potent and has the ability to upset the hosts. They also have solid formation tactics and good ball movement. In short, Manchester City is predicted to win.

Brentford vs Tottenham Hotspur

Brentford and Tottenham Hotspur will face each other in the upcoming EPL game at Gtech Community Stadium. This Premier League game is scheduled to occur on 01 January 2026 at 03:00 p.m. ET.

Standings

Brentford is in 8^th spot in the EPL standings.

Tottenham Hotspur is ranked 11^th in the Premier League standings.

Prediction

Brentford comes into the game with an 8-2-8 record. Their 2025-26 performance is good and has seen several ups and downs. Now facing Tottenham Hotspur, Brentford brings its rapid-paced ball movement. Their shot-making skills and coordination are good. Especially, they have a solid midfield strategy, which helps them to maintain possession for most of the time. Under Keith Andrews, Brentford has been adaptable in their recent games. Tottenham Hotspur, in contrast, has been struggling with inconsistent performance under Thomas Frank. Cristian Romero’s presence is the only hope. Regardless, Brentford gets a home advantage, giving them an edge. Tottenham Hotspur has to go a long way to win against Brentford on the road. As a result, Brentford is predicted to win in this Premier League fixture on Matchday 19.
