PREMIER LEAGUE BETTING TIPS AND PREDICTIONS 20th - 22nd MARCH 2026

Ten Premier League fixtures take place this weekend - starting on Friday night -  and so our Premier League expert Nathan Joyes is back to provide his best bets across all of those matches.

From title contenders to those battling at the bottom, it's another big weekend across the country. Read Nathan's best Premier League bets within.

BOURNEMOUTH VS MAN UNITED

The Cherries welcome the Red Devils to the south coast on Friday night in what looks to be a rather interesting clash under the lights. Bournemouth, unbeaten in their last 10 Premier League matches, head into this tie having drawn their last four.

Goals have dried up, with just one in those matches, but they have scored eight in their last five at home - which is seemingly where they perform much better.

The visitors arrive in a confident mood having brushed Aston Villa to one side last weekend, and having only suffered one away defeat from their last five, they won't want to give either Villa or Liverpool a head start this weekend.

A dramatic 4-4 played out between these two sides earlier in the campaign at Old Trafford, and while we're unlikely to witness eight goals again, there's plenty of value in backing yet another draw.

Betting Tip: Draw – 3/1 – BetMGM

BRIGHTON VS LIVERPOOL

Brighton have returned to form in recent weeks picking up three victories from their last five matches - yet wins over Nottingham Forest won't worry Arne Slot. His side brushed Brighton to one side 3-0 in the FA Cup last month, which was their fourth win over Brighton in their last five meetings. This is a fixture Liverpool have often dominated.

At the Amex Stadium, the Seagulls have only beaten Forest and Burnley in 2026, and either side of that Forest win Brighton lost to both Palace and Arsenal without scoring.

Take out Liverpool's trip to Istanbul and their record on the road has been solid this season, and a fourth away win from their last five matches looks to be on the cards with a Champions League spot still on the line.

Betting Tip: Liverpool to win – 6/5 – High Bet

FULHAM VS BURNLEY

Although this fixture may not appear as though it'll appear first on Match Of The Day, those with short memories may forget that the reverse fixture had a bit of everything. Fulham came out on top 3-2 on that occasion, and while it might not be as dramatic, everything points towards a home win.

That's not to say the hosts have been playing well in recent weeks, as they head into this clash having failed to win - or score - in their last three Premier League games.

But Burnley arrive in worse form, having won just one of their last 10, and have only won twice on the road all season.

Winless in their last five, which included losing against Mansfield in the FA Cup, Burnley look as though they are going to struggle in the capital.

Betting Tip: Fulham to win – 4/7 – 247 Bet

EVERTON VS CHELSEA

Chelsea's Champions League run came to an abrupt end on Tuesday evening, losing 8-2 on aggregate against PSG. Liam Rosenior's side found themselves 2-0 down within 14 minutes at Stamford Bridge midweek, which started a mass exit from the stands as Chelsea slumped to their third straight defeat.

Although new to the role, fans don't appear too happy with Rosenior - whether it be his style on the pitch or press conferences - without results, fans are soon turning on him.

And now it's his job to pick his side up after a bad run - easier said than done.

Everton haven't enjoyed their first season at their new stadium, but form has picked up of late, and wins over Newcastle and Burnley will keep them motivated back in 8th. Their European dream is still on - and they might just be able to take advantage of Chelsea's current state.

One camp is content, the other, is not - and the Toffees Draw No Bet price catches the eye.

Betting Tip: Everton Draw No Bet – 13/10 – BetMGM

LEEDS VS BRENTFORD

Leeds continue to fight for survival and although three points above the drop, Daniel Farke will know that more wins are required in order to stay in the Premier League. Form has been mediocre of late with just one win from five - and that came in the FA Cup. Leeds haven't won in the Premier League since the beginning of February.

Since two draws and two narrow defeats have followed - and Leeds know they will need to start scoring if they are to turn their form around.

Brentford continue to chase their European dream but have stumbled in recent weeks. Draws against Bournemouth and Wolves - where they led 2-0 in the latter - have held them back.

The reverse fixture saw the match end 1-1, which was their third draw in their last five matches. With so much on the line for both clubs, the match could be cagey and the points could be split once again.

Betting Tip: Draw – 5/2 – High Bet

NEWCASTLE VS SUNDERLAND

It's derby day at St. James' Park where only two points separates Newcastle and Sunderland after 30 matches - not something many would have expected at the start of the season.

Not many would have expected Newcastle to go on and lose 7-2 midweek against Barcelona having led 2-1 after 30 minutes - but perhaps that sums up Newcastle's campaign which has had more lows than highs.

However, the hosts will be seeking revenge after losing the reverse fixture, but at home their early season fortress has diminished (W2 D1 L2). Newcastle haven't been consistent - but goals have. From their last five, both teams to score has landed in each and every one of them.

Sunderland aren't known for scoring many on the road - just three from their last five - but they will be desperate to do the double over their arch rivals - who will be low on confidence after that Barcelona result.

Betting Tip: BTTS Yes – 4/5 – 247 Bet

ASTON VILLA VS WEST HAM

Aston Villa will look to return to winning ways in the Premier League after defeat against Man United last weekend - but it might not be so easy against a West Ham side fighting for their lives.

With just two defeats from their last 10 - coming against Liverpool and Chelsea - Nuno Santo has his side playing well with just eight rounds left to play.

Villa's strong home form has massively dropped off - losing three of their last five - conceding four against Chelsea and three against Newcastle. Villa did win the reverse fixture 3-2, but there's been a consistent trend in this fixture worth backing.

Both teams have found the back of the net in their last seven meetings - and in nine of their last 10 as well. Villa's defence can't be trusted, but neither can West Ham's - and both fighting for different reasons, we can see both teams continue that trend this weekend.

Betting Tip: BTTS Yes - 7/11 – 247 Bet

SPURS VS FOREST

We have to wait until the last match for the best looking one this weekend - if you're a neutral, that is. Spurs sit in 16th, while Forest occupy 17th, and both know a defeat could well throw them into the bottom three.

But on the flip side, a win could see one of the clubs create a small amount of breathing room from West Ham if they fail to pick up points at Villa Park. So who comes out on top?

Spurs haven't had to travel after facing Atletico Madrid midweek while Forest played a day later in Denmark. Home advantage - tick. Extra day to prepare and rest - tick.

Their 3-2 win over Atletico Madrid would have boosted confidence - but so would their 1-1 draw with Liverpool at Anfield. With Forest failing to fire - with just one goal in over 100 shots - the hosts at odds-against looks appealling.

Spurs' last two performances have been rather pleasing, and they might just be pulling it together at the right time, whereas Forest simply cannot score.

Goals around the evens mark looks a good shout at the City Ground.

Betting Tip: Spurs to win – 5/4 – BetMGM
