Alongside Chelsea’s trip to Manchester City, both Arsenal and runaway leaders Liverpool will feature on Saturday afternoon.
With six Premier League showdowns on the cards this weekend, we have taken a look at some of Saturday’s most appealing betting tips.
Saturday, January 25th
BST 15:00 Bournemouth vs Nottingham Forest
While Nottingham Forest might have spent the majority of last season scrapping it out at the foot of the Premier League table, Saturday’s guests have cemented their spot as one of Europe’s ultimate surprise packages this time around.
Opening this weekend’s fixtures sat in bronze medal position, Nuno Espirito Santo finds his squad sat firmly in the driving seat to punch a famous Champions League spot in 2025.
Claiming what was a thrilling 3-2 victory against Southampton last weekend, the former Tottenham boss has seen his high-flying squad muster 22 points from just their previous eight Premier League appearances.
Snatching a 1-1 draw against runaway leaders Liverpool earlier in the month, Nottingham Forest have also continued to shine with their success away from the City Ground.
In fact, Santo’s side have won all of their last four consecutive showdowns on the road by an aggregate score of 10-2.
While Forest might have continued to break a string of records this season, Bournemouth have also embarked on what has become an astonishing rise.
Claiming what was a famous 4-1 romp away at Newcastle last weekend, Saturday’s guests have rightfully received a plenty of plaudits from across England’s elite.
Opening Saturday’s showdown at the Vitality sat just three points adrift of skyrocketing into the Champions League places, Andoni Iraola’s men are unbeaten in all of their last 11 consecutive appearances across all competitions.
Likewise, aside from a 2-1 loss against Brighton when returning from November’s international break, that is the only Premier League defeat that Bournemouth have suffered at the Vitality since the middle of September.
Tip: Both teams to score @ 8/11
15:00 Southampton vs Newcastle
Blown away at St. James’ Park last weekend as they fell to that infamous 4-1 drumming against Bournemouth, Newcastle will be desperately seeking an immediate response here.
Nevertheless, reigniting their European dreams over the past six weeks, Eddie Howe’s side have won each of their other eight appearances across all competitions.
Getting the New Year underway with a comeback against Tottenham as they eventually snatched a 2-1 victory in north London, Saturday’s guests have collected some heavyweight scalps since returning from November’s international break.
Springing an EFL Cup upset earlier in the month as they secured a first-leg 2-0 win away at Arsenal, Newcastle have won all of their last four showdowns away from St. James’ Park by an aggregate score of 10-1.
Likewise, winning each of their last six consecutive meetings against the Saints, there is no doubt that Howe’s European contenders will be smelling a golden opportunity this weekend.
Despite mounting a late comeback away at Nottingham Forest last weekend, Southampton slumped to a 3-2 loss and already have one foot firmly back in the Championship.
Enduring what has been a public Premier League crisis this season, Saturday’s hosts sit rock-bottom of the table and have remarkably collected just six points from any of their 22 top-flight appearances.
Getting the New Year underway with a woeful 5-0 drumming at home against Brentford, new boss Ivan Juric is already seeking what would be remembered as a record-breaking great escape.
Collecting just a single point from any of their last nine straight Premier League appearances and showing a string of defensive issues, Southampton should have another tough test on their hands here.
Tip: Anthony Gordon to score anytime @ 13/8
15:00 Brighton vs Everton
While Brighton might have found themselves at the heart of an extended wobble prior to opening the New Year, Saturday’s hosts have come roaring back in an eye-catching fashion.
Putting in a stellar display last weekend as they stormed their way to a deserved 3-1 victory away at Manchester United, the Seagulls have found a route back into the top-half of the Premier League table.
Extending on their FA Cup adventure earlier in the month as they cruised their way to a 4-0 romp against Championship outfit Norwich, Fabian Hurtzler’s side have won each of their previous three appearances across all competitions.
Getting 2025 underway with a 1-1 stalemate against Arsenal, the former St. Pauli boss has seen his squad muster seven points from just their last three Premier League showdowns.
Suffering just a single Premier League defeat at the Amex so far this season, Brighton are also enjoying their longest winning run across all competitions since the end of August.
Eventually clinging to a frantic 3-2 win against Tottenham last weekend, Everton will know the importance of using that result as a platform to build on.
However, getting David Moyes’ return to Goodison Park underway with a 1-0 loss at home against Aston Villa, Saturday’s guests have won just a pair of their previous 13 consecutive Premier League appearances.
Still looking over their shoulder at a looming relegation scrap, Everton will also be concerned by their most recent showdown against a resurgent Brighton.
Completely blown away in the blue half of Merseyside back on August 17th as they opened the 2024/25 campaign with a 3-0 drumming against the Seagulls, Moyes’ men should have another stern test on their hands this weekend.
