EPL – Gameweek 25

Manchester United and Chelsea closed the gap on the top three teams with 3-2 home wins over Fulham and West Ham, respectively. Both teams secured their victories with winning goals in injury time.
Liverpool remain in sixth place after ending their five-match winless run with a decisive 4-1 victory over Newcastle at Anfield.
Premier League score predictions – Gameweek 25 (6th – 8th February)
These are our correct score predictions for the next round of the 2025/26 Premier League season:
Friday 06/02/26
(this season; Nottm Forest 3:1 Leeds United)
Key stats: Prior to losing to Arsenal on Saturday, Leeds were unbeaten in their previous five home matches in the EPL. The Whites scored 10 goals across the first three of those matches but have scored just twice across the most recent three matches. Nottingham Forest have not drawn an away match in the EPL since a 1-1 draw with Burnley in late September (W4, L5).
Saturday 07/02/26
Manchester United 2-1 Tottenham
(this season; Tottenham 2:2 Man Utd: last season; Tottenham 1:0 Man Utd; Man Utd 0:3 Tottenham)
Key stats: Tottenham have not lost to Manchester United in the last eight meetings between these sides in all competitions (W5, D3). However, Spurs are winless in their last six EPL matches. Manchester United have won all three matches since Michael Carrick took over as interim manager and have scored eight goals across those three victories.
(this season; Sunderland 2:2 Arsenal)
Key stats: Arsenal have lost just two of their previous 36 matches in all competitions and bounced back from a three-match winless run in the EPL with a 4-0 win away to Leeds last weekend. Sunderland are without a win in their previous seven away Premier League matches (D3, L4). Arsenal have not lost a league match against Sunderland, home or away, since 2009 (W10, D6).
(this season; Aston Villa 4:0 Bournemouth: last season; Bournemouth 0:1 Aston Villa; Aston Villa 1:1 Bournemouth)
Key stats: Bournemouth have won three of their last four matches to leave them securely placed in mid-table, whilst Aston Villa have won just one of their previous four EPL matches as they fall further behind the leaders, Arsenal. The Villans are unbeaten in their last six matches against the Cherries (W4, D2), which followed a run of four successive wins for Bournemouth.
(this season; West Ham 3:2 Burnley)
Key stats: Burnley have not won in the EPL since defeating Wolves in late October. Since then, they have lost 10 matches and drawn on five occasions and find themselves 11 points adrift of safety at the bottom of the table. West Ham are five points ahead of Burnley and occupy the final relegation place but have shown improved form recently. The Hammers secured two victories and took a 2-0 lead away to Chelsea last Saturday before conceding a losing goal in the final minutes.
(this season; Everton 2:0 Fulham: last season; Fulham 1:3 Everton; Everton 1:1 Fulham)
Key stats: These sides are both on 34 points and sit in eighth and ninth places respectively in the latest standings. There is also nothing to separate them across their recent encounters, with each side winning three of their last nine matchups, whilst three matches were drawn. Fulham’s last three matches have all been decided by winning goals in injury time. The Cottagers won one of those games and were defeated in the other two.
(this season; Chelsea 3:0 Wolves: last season; Chelsea 3:1 Wolves; Wolves 2:6 Chelsea)
Key stats: Chelsea have won all three EPL matches since Liam Rosenior took charge of the West London side, including recovering from a 2-0 deficit to beat West Ham 3-2 last time out. Meanwhile, Wolves four-match unbeaten streak has been followed by two successive 2-0 defeats, and they look certain to be playing Championship football next season. Eight of the last nine matches between these sides in all competitions have produced three goals or more, with the last two matches at Molineux resulting in 4-3 and 6-2 wins for Chelsea.
(this season; Brentford 3:1 Newcastle: last season; Newcastle 2:1 Brentford; Brentford 4:2 Newcastle)
Key stats: Although they have not been regular opponents over the years, Brentford have not won at St. James’ Park since 1935 (D1, L9). Both teams have failed to score in each of Brentford’s last five matches in all competitions, whilst both teams have scored only in three of Newcastle’s last seven games.
Sunday 08/02/26
(this season; Brighton 0:0 Crystal Palace: last season; Crystal Palace 2:1 Brighton; Brighton 1:3 Crystal Palace)
Key stats: 1-1 is a popular outcome when these sides meet, as six of their last 13 encounters have finished with that scoreline. In the reverse match earlier this season, these sides played out a goalless draw at Selhurst Park. Both sides are currently in poor form in the league—Brighton (W1, D6, L4), with their sole victory coming at home to Burnley, whilst Crystal Palace’s last win was in early December (W1, D3, L6).
(this season; Man City 3:0 Liverpool: last season; Man City 0:2 Liverpool; Liverpool 2:0 Man City)
Key stats: Liverpool have lost just one of their previous 16 matches in all competitions, although many of those games ended in draws (W9, D6, L1). However, the Reds have scored 10 goals across their last two victories at Anfield. Meanwhile, Man City have lost just two of their previous 19 matches (W13, D4, L2), although they gave up a 2-0 lead when being held 2-2 by Spurs last weekend.
*Note: previous results for this and last season only include league matches between the sides.

Who qualified for the 2025/26 Champions League?
In total, England will have six teams playing in next season’s Champions League.
The top five teams in the final EPL table, Liverpool, Arsenal, Manchester City, Chelsea and Newcastle, have qualified based on their league position. Tottenham Hotspur are the sixth team to qualify, as a result of their win in last season’s Europa League, which saw them gain direct entry into the UCL. That title was won despite an awful league season in which the North London side finished in 17th position, just one place above the relegation places. Despite Ange Postecoglou seeing his side earn a Champions League place, the poor league form was enough to see the charismatic Australian relieved of his duties in early June.
Who qualified for the 2025/26 Europa League?
Aston Villa’s sixth-place finish was enough to gain a place in next season’s Europa League. Crystal Palace were set to join them, after the South London club won the FA Cup. However, Palace were demoted to the Conference League due to rules about multi-club ownership in the same competition because of their links to Lyon. Their place was awarded to Nottingham Forest, who had originally qualified for the UEFA Conference League.
Who qualified for the 2025/26 Conference League?
Despite spending a large part of the season in one of the Champions League places, a stuttering end to the campaign for Nottingham Forest saw the Tricky Trees drop into seventh place and a place in next season’s Conference League.
However, Forest now find themselves in the Europa League after Crystal Palace were demoted from that tournament to the Conference League due to rules about multi-club ownership.
Despite the disappointment of missing out of the Europa League, Palace will hope to emulate Chelsea and bring the trophy back to British soil for the third time in the competition’s five-year history.
Which teams were relegated to the Championship?
The three promoted teams from the previous season all made an instant return to the Championship, emphasising an ever-increasing gap between the top two divisions.
Southampton set a new unwanted record as they became the first ever Premier League side to have relegation confirmed with seven matches of the season still to play. Their final tally of 12 points was the second lowest in Premier League history. Joining the Saints in an instant return were Ipswich Town and Leicester City, who both knew their destiny with several matches still to play.
Which teams were promoted from the Championship?
Burnley were the only side from the trio of relegated clubs from the 2023/24 EPL season to bounce back at the first attempt. They finished in second place in the 2024/25 Championship table, level with Leeds on points but with an inferior goal difference. Sunderland were the third side to be promoted after defeating Sheffield United in the playoff final, despite finishing 14 points behind the Blades in the regular season.
