Premier League Betting Preview

Chris Hutcheon identifies potential value and promising betting opportunities for the Premier League 2026 season's upcoming fixtures.

Live on TNT Sports 5: Wednesday 19:30. Fulham v West Ham United

Fulham appears to be a solid bet against West Ham, having secured eight victories at Craven Cottage this season. Marco Silva’s side is priced at 23/20 to defeat a Hammers team that suffered a significant 5-2 loss at Anfield recently. West Ham will need to tighten up defensively. A draw in this encounter is available at 5/2 with Ladbrokes.

A rare away win for West Ham can be backed at 12/5 with BoyleSports, despite their three road victories this term. However, preventing Fulham from scoring for the full ninety minutes seems challenging. A Fulham victory combined with Both Teams To Score (BTTS) Yes is offered at 11/4 with bet365.

Live on TNT Sports 4: Wednesday 19:30. Man City v Nottingham Forest

Manchester City continues its Premier League title pursuit with a home game against relegation-threatened Nottingham Forest. Pep Guardiola’s side is a strong favourite at 4/11 with Coral to claim victory. For better odds, you might consider backing the North-West giants to lead at both half-time and full-time, available at a more palatable 21/20.

Considering City's formidable attack, a 3-0 home win is an appealing prospect at 9/1 with BoyleSports, which would certainly maintain pressure on Arsenal at the top of the table.

Live on TNT Sports 3: Wednesday 19:30. Aston Villa v Chelsea

Aston Villa has seen a dip in form recently, with Unai Emery’s team managing only one win in their last six matches, including a defeat at Wolves last Friday. They are priced at 7/4 with Betfred to recover by beating Chelsea on Wednesday. The visiting Blues, who narrowly lost to Arsenal on Sunday, could offer good value at 29/20 with Ladbrokes.

An exciting, high-scoring game is anticipated, with Over 3.5 Goals available at a tempting 8/5 with BoyleSports. For those predicting an exact score, Chelsea securing a 2-1 victory at Villa Park is valued at 10/1 with Bet365.

Live on TNT Sports 2: Wednesday 19:30. Brighton & Hove Albion v Arsenal

Arsenal’s title challenge remains robust, and they are clear favourites to collect maximum points at the AMEX Stadium. The Gunners are 8/13 with Coral to overcome a Brighton side that recently secured a 2-1 win over Nottingham Forest. Brighton, with little to lose, might adopt an attacking approach at home and are listed at 19/4 with bet365 for a win.

Mikel Arteta’s squad consistently poses a threat from set pieces, with Gabriel an option at 16/1 with Betfred to score the opening goal. A 2-0 victory for the London club is trading at 13/2 with Coral, while a narrower 1-0 success can also be backed at 13/2 with bet365.

Live on TNT Sports 1: Wednesday 20:15. Newcastle Utd v Man United

Bookmakers find it difficult to separate Newcastle and Manchester United for their Wednesday night clash at St James’ Park. Newcastle is offered at 8/5 with Betfred to bounce back from their 3-2 home defeat against Everton when they face a Red Devils team that continues to perform. Meanwhile, the visitors are also available at 8/5 with BoyleSports to leave Tyneside with the points.

This fixture is expected to be closely contested, with a draw priced at 14/5 with bet365. A 2-2 stalemate is also on offer at 11/1 with the same firm. Both teams are widely expected to find the net, with Both Teams To Score (BTTS) Yes at 4/9 with Ladbrokes.

Live on TNT Sports 1: Thursday 20:00. Tottenham Hotspur v Crystal Palace

It’s a crucial period for Tottenham after their 2-1 defeat at Fulham. They are 13/10 favourites with Bet365 to overcome Crystal Palace at home. They will face an Eagles side that has been somewhat out of form, priced at 2/1 with Betfred to inflict further disappointment on Spurs with an away win.

A draw in this match is offered at 12/5 with Bet365, while a 1-0 victory for Tottenham is priced at 9/1. The home side will be eager to secure a much-needed win and will likely approach the game with determination.
