PL Games 6th, 7th & 8th December

[Mike Oxsaw]

Saturday 06 December 2025 12:30

Aston Villa v Arsenal
League Positions: 3 v 1
Current Form: 42 v 33
Both teams earned 3 points in their respective mid week games. That and their nearness in the league makes it a tight call. So:
Draw

Saturday 06 December 2025 15:00

A. F. C. Bournemouth v Chelsea
League Positions: 13 v 4
Current Form: 3 v 22
The stats suggest that the points are there for Chelsea's taking, but didn't some imbecile say that about their trip to Leeds a few days ago? Still:
Away win

Saturday 06 December 2025 15:00

Everton v Nottingham Forest
League Positions: 14 v 16
Current Form: 31 v 31
2 places apart in the league and an identical current form stat. Might have to add a "Last time out" parameter to fine tune all this rubbish. I'm getting the word:
Draw

Saturday 06 December 2025 15:00

Manchester City v Sunderland
League Positions: 2 v 6
Current Form: 36 v 20
Sunderland seem to be defying many predictions and appear to be on an extended honeymoon. City have been more "hit" than "miss" recently, so, for no apparent reason:
Home win

Saturday 06 December 2025 15:00

Newcastle United v Burnley
League Positions: 11 v 19
Current Form: 26 v 0
Dream tie for the Bar Codes, less so for Burnley, who haven't played that badly (compared to us, but that particular bar lies deep in a salt mine) and can't turn that form into points.Newcastle still a bit utterly stutterly, but have enough:
Home win

Saturday 06 December 2025 15:00

Tottenham Hotspur v Brentford
League Positions: 10 v 12
Current Form: 7 v 18
Spurs sit higher in the league but Brentford's current form is nearly 3 times better than their host's. Probably all hangs on whether it's the Lily-whites or Lily livered who turn up. Neck out time:
Away win

Saturday 06 December 2025 17:30

Leeds United v Liverpool
League Positions: 17 v 8
Current Form: 15 v 20
Always a game to look forward to back in the days of Division 1. Had this game taken place last year, everybody would have been amazed, given that Leeds weren't even in the PL. Suggestions are that they probably won't be again, next term. They come into this tie with a better current form, yet only one place above the relegation slots:
Home win

Sunday 07 December 2025 14:00

Brighton & Hove Albion v West Ham United
League Positions: 5 v 18
Current Form: 26 v 17
The man behind the sofa says "I'm not coming out until after this game!" Suspect a lot of the West Ham team are likely to be there with him,too. Whatever way you cut/spin this match, it's hollering:
Home win

Sunday 07 December 2025 16:30

Fulham v Crystal Palace
League Positions: 15 v 9
Current Form: 24 v 29
This is it! The match we've all been waiting for! The only (ONLY) London derby that really matters! Sad that it all looks a bit "Meh!", innit? A cautious:
Away win

Monday 08 December 2025 20:00

Wolverhampton Wanderers v Manchester United
League Positions: 20 v 7
Current Form: 0 v 20
Well! Well! and thrice Well! If Wolves want to buy a point, this is probably their best chance. A pub team denied the Red Devils all 3 points (and 5th place in the league) last Thursday, so they'll be smartin'. Everything says:
Away Win

Looking forward for my next week's acca, Paddy Power have us down as Evens for this game.

Probably as good as it will ever get unless Villa pick up a bucket load of injuries in Europe this week

[Monsieur merde de cheval]

Burnley are due a win, and Villa are due a loss.

My thoughts too.
Which means Burnley will go winless the rest of the season and spurs spiritual brothers will win the league 

[Monsieur merde de cheval]

Bit jarring looking at the league table with Man U, Everton and Brighton sitting 6th-8th and knowing none of that mob have looked better than us when we have played them.

 

Keep the faith Sweep son.
Billy's send off on sunday ...I have faith that we can rouse ourselves to victory against the spurs of the midlands.
Hail hail king billy

[Monsieur merde de cheval]

I told you big clubs get the decisions, no different to yesterdays hand ball against us. 

Brighton?

Brighton had a lot of empty seats yesterday...some LGBTQ call out or what ?

[fraser]

Completely different to ours

[Sweep]

Wolves 1 down - comedy goal conceded and some other good chances wasted by Man U.

Starting to edge back into it. 

[Mad Ferret]

Burnley are due a win, and Villa are due a loss.

[Mike Oxsaw]

Palace get a winner.

Keeps Fulham in touch.

Next week Fulham play away at Burnley, We play 3rd placed Villa, Gonna be a long touch.

[Mad Ferret]

Palace get a winner.

Keeps Fulham in touch.

[Massive Attack]

Yep, they're fighting for every single point and going for it against anyone to try and stay up. 

[Tomshardware]

Looking at it, Leeds have been brave as fuck with little turn around against 2 quality sides, albeit 1 out of form, scoring 6 times goals in the process 4 points out of 6 which has dug then right out of a hole. We can match that point tally if we manage a win at Brighton which isn't beyond us.

They were also very unlucky to lose against Man City.

Has a team ever spent so much and disintegrated so quickly after winning a league? This will be studied for years!

At least Leeds didn’t win..  but I think they’ve got a lot of energy. Lucky that Forest lost. Still gives us a chance to climb out of the bottom 3 I suppose. 
 

[Massive Attack]

Not good for our relegation battle but a fully deserved point for Leeds to be fair to them by taking the game to Liverpool. Was a thoroughly entertaining score draw having scored 3 times themselves as a newly promoted Club. That approach also got their crowd bang up for it and took them with the players determined effort. 

[El Scorchio]

Not ideal but at least they didn’t win. Last thing we need is Leeds going on a good run though. 

[nychammer]

3-3 Leeds staying up based on the way they are playing 

[Mad Ferret]

Love it!

[Tomshardware]

Dang, gutted!

[Mad Ferret]

Dang, gutted!

[El Scorchio]

Hahahahaha get in!

Absolute weirdo. We all know you don’t want Leeds to get any points.
