The fifth round of the 2025/26 Premier League season is upon us, and we look at some of the potential outcomes from this week’s thrilling battles, including the cracking clash between Liverpool vs Everton, Arsenal vs Manchester City and Manchester United vs Chelsea.

Liverpool vs Everton

Liverpool will host Everton in the Premier League at the weekend, and they will look to continue their impressive run of form with another victory at home. The Reds have picked up four Premier League wins in a row, but they were all last-gasp victories.

The Premier League champions need to improve their defensive performances to secure a comprehensive victory. Meanwhile, Everton will look to make life difficult for their bitter rivals, and Liverpool will need to raise their performance levels here.

Liverpool have an excellent record against Everton at home, and it will be interesting to see if they can continue their winning run. On the other hand, Everton are coming into this game on the back of three wins and a draw from their last four matches in all competitions. They will be confident of putting on a strong performance here.

It will be interesting to see if the Toffees can pull off an upset. Everton have struggled at Anfield in recent seasons, and they will look to make amends here. Liverpool are undefeated in 35 of their last 38 Premier League matches, and they are undefeated in thirty of the last 32 matches against Everton. They will be the favourites to secure all three points.

Probable Bet: Liverpool win

West Ham United vs Crystal Palace

West Ham United will host Crystal Palace in the Premier League at the weekend, and they will look to bounce back after a disappointing start to the season. The Hammers have lost four of their last five matches in all competitions, and they are under tremendous pressure.

On the other hand, Crystal Palace are unbeaten in their last six matches in all competitions. They will certainly fancy their chances of achieving a positive result here. West Ham are struggling and are completely devoid of form and confidence.

Crystal Palace have scored at least twice in eight of their last ten matches against West Ham United, and they are undefeated in their last ten Premier League games. A double chance on the away side would be ideal.

Probable Bet: Crystal Palace win or draw

Wolves vs Leeds United

Wolverhampton Wanderers will take on Leeds United this weekend, and they will look to secure their first win of the season. The Black Country outfit have lost all four matches in the Premier League, and they are at the bottom of the league table.

Meanwhile, Leeds United are close to the relegation zone with just one win from four Premier League matches thus far in the 2025/26 season. It will be interesting to see if they can secure their second win of the season here.

Both teams are struggling, and this will be a close contest. Leeds United have failed to score in their last three league matches, and Wolves have lost seven of their last eight Premier League matches. Matches between these two teams are often packed with goals; the last six have produced 18. This will be another close contest, and a high-scoring match is on the cards.

Probable Bet: Over 2.5 goals

Brighton & Hove Albion vs Tottenham

Brighton & Hove Albion will look to secure a win at home when they host Tottenham this weekend. The Seagulls are coming into this game on the back of a defeat against Bournemouth, and they will look to bounce back strongly.

Fabian Hurzeler’s men have recently secured a win over Manchester City, and they will certainly fancy their chances against Tottenham. Meanwhile, the visitors are in impressive form, having picked up three wins from four Premier League matches.

The Lilywhites have conceded just once in the Premier League this season, and they will look to continue their impressive run of form with a victory here. Meanwhile, Brighton have secured three wins from the last four matches against Tottenham. This will be a close contest. The last six meetings have produced twenty-three goals between the two teams, and this one will likely be another high-scoring affair.

Probable Bet: Over 2.5 goals

Burnley vs Nottingham Forest

Burnley will look to bounce back from their defeat against Liverpool with a win over Nottingham Forest this weekend. The Clarets were beaten after a stoppage-time penalty against Liverpool, and they will be disappointed with the way they lost the game. Scott Parker’s men were quite impressive against the Premier League champions, and they will fancy their chances of a victory here.

Burnley are unbeaten in five of the last six meetings against Nottingham Forest. Meanwhile, the visitors are coming into this game on the back of three consecutive defeats in all competitions. It will be interesting to see if they can turn things around. A double chance on the home team would be ideal.

Probable Bet: Burnley win or draw

Manchester United vs Chelsea

Manchester United will host Chelsea in a blockbuster Saturday clash in the Premier League, and they will look to turn their season around with a morale-boosting victory here. The Red Devils have picked up just one win from five matches this season, and it remains to be seen whether they can bounce back strongly.

Meanwhile, Chelsea are coming into this game on the back of a defeat against Bayern Munich, and they will look to return to winning ways. Chelsea have picked up two wins from five matches in all competitions, and they need to perform at a higher level.

However, the Blues are undefeated in their last six Premier League matches. They have also scored at least twice in their last three games. However, Chelsea have a poor record against Manchester United away from home. The Red Devils are undefeated in twelve of the last thirteen home matches against Chelsea. A double chance on the home side would be ideal.

Probable Bet: Man United win or draw
