With the busy Premier League schedule upon us, Gameweek 14 of the 2025/26 season arrives this midweek with another set of important fixtures.
While there is no clash which pits two “Big Six” sides against each other, there are some competitive fixtures in store, with Newcastle facing Spurs, Brighton up against Aston Villa, and Liverpool hosting the Black Cats.
Here, we present our preview and predictions for all matches of Gameweek 14 of the 2025/26 Premier League season.
The Cottagers would like to build on their two-game winning run with a strong performance against the Cityzens at Craven Cottage.
City are back in second place after beating Leeds United at the weekend, but they haven’t looked like their usual formidable selves. Their recent form hasn’t been great, as they’ve lost two of their last five across all competitions. Fulham, on the other hand, seem to be slowly getting back some semblance of form, having beaten Spurs last time and lost only one game in their last five encounters.
In terms of player availability, while Fulham will miss long-term absentees Rodrigo Muniz and Antonee Robinson, City will remain without Rodri and Mateo Kovacic.
For this game, City definitely have superior quality in their ranks as compared to Fulham, but they have been struggling defensively. We can see Fulham breach the City defence, though the Mancunian outfit should still be able to come out with all three points. They also have a superior head-to-head record at Craven Cottage.
Score prediction: Fulham 1–3 Man City
The Cherries are going through a massive slump in form and will want to return to winning ways against an inconsistent Everton side.
Bournemouth started the season well but are now struggling, having lost three of their last five games. Without a win in their last four, against Sunderland they relinquished a 2–0 lead to lose 3-2. Everton, meanwhile, haven’t been too consistent either. After two straight wins, they were embarrassed 1–4 at home by Newcastle United.
There are injury concerns in both camps. Bournemouth are missing Ryan Christie, Matai Akinmboni, and Ben Doak, while Lewis Cook and David Brooks are suspended for this fixture. Everton also have a suspension in the form of Idrissa Gueye, with Séamus Coleman, Jarrad Branthwaite, Nathan Patterson, and Merlin Röhl all unavailable.
While Bournemouth have been formidable at home, their recent form doesn’t inspire much confidence. As for Everton, they’ve struggled on the road, barring their recent hard-fought win over Man United. Given Bournemouth’s better head-to-head record against Everton in recent seasons, they are our favourites to grab all three points in what should be a closely fought encounter.
Score prediction: Bournemouth 2–1 Everton
The Magpies will be looking to build on their massive away result against Everton last weekend with a win over struggling Spurs at St. James’ Park.
Newcastle’s season thus far has seen contrasting performances home and away. While they’ve looked difficult to beat at home, on the road they have suffered, having finally won at last against Everton. As for Spurs, their form has taken a downward turn with three straight defeats across all competitions, having conceded 11 goals. Their most recent defeat arrived at home to Fulham.
Both teams have a host of injured players. Newcastle will be without Nick Pope, Sven Botman, Yoane Wissa, William Osula, Kieran Trippier, and Emil Krafth in this fixture, while Spurs have James Maddison, Radu Dragusin, Yves Bissouma, Dominic Solanke, Dejan Kulusevski, and Kota Takai out.
St. James’ Park is one of the most hostile away stadiums in England, making another defeat for Spurs very likely given their defensive vulnerability and low confidence. Even though the reigning Europa League winners have the attacking prowess to damage the hosts, Newcastle should still be able to secure all three points comfortably.
Score prediction: Newcastle 3–1 Spurs
Having secured a comfortable away win at the City Ground at the weekend, the Seagulls will be raring to go at home against the Villans, who also won at home against Wolves last time out, though they didn’t look very comfortable. Villa have massively turned around their form, though, and currently reside in the top four, with Brighton in fifth.
From an injury perspective, Brighton have a fair few players out, with Adam Webster, James Milner, Kaoru Mitoma, Solly March, and Tom Watson unavailable. Villa, on the other hand, will miss Ross Barkley and Tyrone Mings for this game.
Villa are in decent form and unbeaten in their last five, while Brighton have only lost to Arsenal and are unbeaten in their last four. Fabian Hürzeler’s men are usually dominant at home, but they are facing a tough opposition here. An entertaining draw is very likely.
Score prediction: Brighton 1–1 Aston Villa
Palace are a very competitive side with quality players, though they have been inconsistent this season. They lost at home to Man United at the weekend after taking the lead. As for Burnley, they were thumped by Brentford at the weekend, making it their fourth straight loss in the league. Their only win arrived against bottom-placed Wolves in late October.
The Clarets have the same three players unavailable, with Connor Roberts, Zeki Amdouni, and Jordan Beyer out with long-term injuries. Palace, meanwhile, will be without Ismaïla Sarr, Chadi Riad, Borna Sosa, Caleb Kporha, and Cheick Doucouré for this game.
Burnley generally play low-block tactics and are difficult to break down, but they have been found out this season more often than not. Oliver Glasner’s men are really good on transitions and turnovers, and even though they lost to Man United at the weekend, this should be an easy three points for them.
Score prediction: Burnley 0–2 Crystal Palace
Forest have capitulated this season after their heroics last season. After a three-game resurgence, which saw them gain a massive three points at Anfield, Sean Dyche’s men slumped again with a home loss to Brighton at the weekend.
As for Wolves, they’re undoubtedly heading for the Championship unless they can conjure up a miraculous streak of wins. Without even a draw in their last five, the Old Gold look clueless, and even the change in personnel at the helm hasn’t resulted in a change of fortunes, with them having lost their most recent game away against Aston Villa.
While Wolves have Daniel Bentley, Matt Doherty, and Rodrigo Gomes out with injury, Dyche also has a selection headache, with Murillo, Ola Aina, Chris Wood, Angus Gunn, Oleksandr Zinchenko, Douglas Luiz, Dilane Bakwa, and Taiwo Awoniyi all on the sidelines in the other camp.
Even with unfortunate injuries to some of their crucial players, Forest still possess the attacking threat needed to hurt a leaky Wolves defence.
Score prediction: Wolves 0–2 Nottingham Forest
Arsenal are unbeaten in their last five with three wins and two draws, the latter having arrived in two tough away fixtures against Sunderland and Chelsea. Brentford, on the other hand, have three wins and two away defeats in their last five encounters.
Going away to the Emirates in the last few seasons has been difficult for visiting teams in general; against an Arsenal side hardly conceding goals at the moment, getting a positive result feels near impossible.
From an injury viewpoint, Arsenal will be without their starting centre-back pairing William Saliba and Gabriel Magalhães, with forwards Leandro Trossard and Kai Havertz also injured. Brentford, meanwhile, have a long-term absentee in Fábio Carvalho, with Joshua Dasilva also sidelined for a while.
The Bees have been formidable at home, having registered big wins against the likes of Man United and Liverpool this season, but they’ve struggled on the road. With the Gunners in a rich vein of form and being stingy at the back, they are our overwhelming favourites to win this one.
Score prediction: Arsenal 2–0 Brentford
Leeds United are yet another promoted team who are finding life difficult in the top flight. With four losses on the trot, Daniel Farke is appearing more clueless with each passing game. That said, their last game against Man City was a feisty one, which they lost 3–2 away from home.
Enzo Maresca’s men, meanwhile, have had a tough run of fixtures but remain unbeaten in their last five, including three wins and two draws. At the weekend, they went down to ten men against Arsenal and still managed to salvage a point.
Both teams have a few injury concerns coming into this game. Leeds are set to miss James Justin, Anton Stach, Sean Longstaff, and Sebastiaan Bornauw, while Chelsea have Moisés Caicedo suspended and Roméo Lavia, Levi Colwill, and Dario Essugo unavailable due to injury issues.
Based on recent form and their superior squad quality, Chelsea are heavy favourites for this one. Having lost four in a row, Leeds do not look capable of containing or countering Chelsea’s attacking threat. They may score a consolation goal, but the Blues should be able to run away with all three points.
Score prediction: Leeds United 1–3 Chelsea
Having conceded seven goals, Liverpool have lost back-to-back games at Anfield, though they would be relieved to have found a long-awaited win away against West Ham.
They will also have to be wary of Sunderland, who have surprised everyone with their performances so far this season and currently sit above the defending champions in the league table. The Black Cats only have an away defeat to Fulham in their last five and came back from a 2–0 deficit against Bournemouth at the weekend to win 3–2.
From an injury perspective, Liverpool will miss both of their first-choice right-backs, Conor Bradley and Jeremie Frimpong, alongside long-term absentees Giovanni Leoni and Stefan Bajcetic. Sunderland, meanwhile, will be without Aji Alese, Leo Hjelde, and Habib Diarra.
Though Sunderland have turned the Stadium of Light into a fortress, they are vulnerable in defence, having conceded at least a goal in all of their previous five fixtures. That said, Liverpool are still trying to find their form from last season and struggling in particular against teams that play direct football, making this a tough fixture for them, one where they’d be content to share the spoils.
Score prediction: Liverpool 1–1 Sunderland
After a massive comeback win against Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park, Man United will be looking to grab another three points against the struggling Hammers at Old Trafford.
United have suffered only one home defeat in their last five fixtures, with their latest win arriving in a tough away fixture at the weekend, where they came from a goal down to grab all three points. Meanwhile, West Ham’s three-game unbeaten run ended at home against Liverpool on Sunday.
As opposed to last season, Man United’s form has seen slight improvement, with them winning some tough away games this season. However, they remain a work in progress and need to be more consistent. West Ham, on the other hand, have continued their dismal form from last season, and even a change of coaches hasn’t reversed their fortunes.
From a personnel availability perspective, United will be without Harry Maguire, Matheus Cunha, and Benjamin Šeško for this fixture, while West Ham have Lucas Paquetá suspended and Crysensio Summerville and Oliver Scarles out injured.
Manchester United still have that unpredictability about them, though their recent away win against Palace would have given them a massive shot of confidence. Facing a struggling West Ham side at home, they should be able to secure all three points and move up the table.
Score prediction: Man United 2–0 West Ham
