GW17 Match-by-Match Predictions
We break down all 10 matches for Gameweek 17, including sides, totals, props and match trends.
Newcastle vs. Chelsea
Newcastle's intensity at home contrasts with Chelsea's improving buildup and pressing structure. Chelsea are more comfortable controlling possession, while Newcastle prefer quick transitions and crowd-driven momentum. The big question will be Newcastle's back line due to injuries.
Game script: Chelsea see more of the ball; Newcastle threaten in transition
Lean: Draw
Goal expectation: Low, depending on lineups
Betting angle: Under 2.5
Brighton vs. Sunderland
Brighton's possession-heavy style should pin Sunderland deep, but Sunderland's willingness to counter keeps this from being fully one-sided. Brighton's home matches often hinge on breaking down compact blocks. Sunderland also have the problem of replacing five players who are away for AFCON.
Game script: Brighton dominate possession; Sunderland counter selectively
Lean: Brighton
Goal expectation: Medium
Betting angle: Brighton to win, shot props, corners
Manchester City vs. West Ham
City should monopolize possession against a West Ham side likely content to defend deep and absorb pressure. The absence of Aaron Wan-Bissaka and El Hadji Malick Diouf could be problematic in this matchup.
Game script: Man City control from start to finish
Lean: Manchester City
Goal expectation: High
Betting angle: Manchester City team total, Rayan Cherki assist, Phil Foden goal, corners
Wolves vs. Brentford
Both sides are comfortable without the ball and tend to avoid overly open matches. Wolves struggle to create clear chances, while Brentford prioritize efficiency over volume. Wolves are on two points and need to find something.
Game script: Tight, tactical match with limited chances
Lean: Brentford
Goal expectation: Medium
Betting angle: Brentford corners
Tottenham vs. Liverpool
Tottenham are coming off an ugly match and will hope to bounce back for Thomas Frank's sake. Liverpool have questions in their lineup if Dominik Szoboszlai doesn't start. Both teams may be fine with a point.
Game script: Could be slow game depending on XIs
Lean: Draw
Goal expectation: Low
Betting angle: Under 2.5 goals
Everton vs. Arsenal
Everton are disciplined at home but offer limited attacking threat due to Iliman Ndiaye and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall absences. Arsenal's ability to control midfield and generate chances should eventually tilt the match in their favor.
Game script: Arsenal dominate possession; Everton defend
Lean: Arsenal
Goal expectation: Low
Betting angle: Arsenal win, corners and clean sheet
Leeds vs. Crystal Palace
Leeds' energy and pressing at home contrast with Palace's slower buildup. Palace are in the middle of a ridiculous period of matches. Will that come into play when substitutions are needed?
Game script: Leeds press aggressively; Palace counter
Lean: Draw
Goal expectation: High
Betting angle: Over 2.5, both teams to score
Aston Villa vs. Manchester United
Villa's home structure and midfield control make this a difficult trip for United, who have struggled to consistently dictate away matches. Throw in the absence of Bryan Mbeumo and Amad Diallo, and United could struggle to create as much as prior matches.
Game script: Even match with momentum swings
Lean: Aston Villa
Goal expectation: Low
Betting angle: Under 2.5 goals, Aston Villa
Fulham vs. Nottingham Forest
Fulham are generally solid at home, while Forest's away performances remain inconsistent. AFCON absences are a question across the pitch for Fulham, which could give an added edge for Forest.
Game script: Fulham control play; Forest counter
Lean: Fulham
Goal expectation: High
Betting angle: Over 2.5 goals, Fulham win at home
