Saturday, April 26th
BST 15:00 Newcastle vs Ipswich Town
Falling to what was a shock 4-1 drumming away at Aston Villa last weekend, Newcastle are desperately seeking an immediate response when they return to St. James’ Park on Saturday afternoon.
Nevertheless, despite their public slip-up in the Midlands last week, Eddie Howe’s camp have continued to shatter a string of records throughout 2025.
Ending their 70-year wait for a piece of domestic silverware on March 16th as they were crowned EFL Cup champions thanks to a famous 2-1 win against Liverpool at Wembley, Newcastle have their sights firmly set on booking a Champions League ticket.
Winning each of their other six appearances across all competitions and storming their way to a sensational 4-1 romp against Manchester United earlier in the month, Howe’s side have also gained a fearsome reputation for their success on home soil.
Last seen at St. James’ Park breezing their way to a 5-0 victory against Crystal Palace, the Magpies have won their previous three Premier League showdowns in front of their own supporters by an aggregate score of 11-2.
Enduring what has been a public crisis since opening the New Year, Ipswich’s fate can officially be confirmed this weekend.
Knowing that nothing less that a shock victory would be enough to temporarily avoid an immediate Championship return, Kieran McKenna’s men have continued to show some real issues.
Blown away at Portman Road last weekend as they slumped to a 4-0 drumming at the hands of Arsenal, the one-time Manchester United coach has seen his downbeat squad muster just a single Premier League win so far this calendar year.
Likewise, hit with another 4-0 loss when they welcomed Newcastle to town for their reverse showdown on December 21st, the Blues face a monumental challenge at St. James’ Park on Saturday afternoon.
Tip: Newcastle to score in both halves @ 19/20
15:00 Brighton vs West Ham
While Brighton might have come flying out of the traps when opening 2025, the Seagulls have come crashing back down to earth in a worrying fashion and have the feel of a squad seeking a much-needed boost.
Eventually falling to what was a frantic 4-2 loss away at Brentford last week, Fabian Hurzeler’s men have now collected just a pair of points from their previous five Premier League appearances.
Getting April underway with a woeful 3-0 drumming at home against Aston Villa, Saturday’s hosts have seen their European dreams take a major dent over the past month.
Suffering FA Cup heartbreak at the hands of Nottingham Forest as they watched their adventure come to an end on home soil, the former St. Pauli boss will have a major headache over his side’s defensive struggles.
In fact, Hurzeler’s camp have conceded at least a pair of goals in all of their previous five consecutive Premier League appearances on either side of March’s international break.
Although Graham Potter might have only arrived at the London Stadium back in January, it appears that the former Brighton boss already has some major pressure on his shoulders.
Firmly sat in 17th-place and limping their way over the finishing line, West Ham have collected just a pair of points from their previous six straight Premier League showdowns.
Suffering major last-gasp frustration on home soil last week as they eventually had to settle for a 1-1 stalemate against an already relegated Southampton, the Hammers should be concerned by a nightmare record against Saturday’s hosts.
In what is a remarkable rut, West Ham have clinched just a single win from any of their 15 historic Premier League battles against Brighton.
Tip: Danny Welbeck to score anytime @ 9/5
15:00 Wolves vs Leicester City
While Wolves might have opened 2025 pencilled in as a leading relegation contender, the Old Gold have embarked on a sensational rise since Vitor Pereira’s arrival over the festive period.
Skyrocketing themselves away from the drop zone and with the mood in their camp at a red-hot high, Saturday’s hosts have won each of their previous five consecutive Premier League appearances.
In fact, breaking a string of records since returning from March’s international break and receiving a string of plaudits, Wolves have recorded five straight top-flight wins for the first time since the 1970s.
Last seen clinching a stellar 1- 0 victory away at Old Trafford and doing a domestic double over Manchester United this season, the Portuguese tactician will certainly be smelling another golden opportunity when his squad returns to the Midlands.
Storming their way to an action-packed 4-2 win when they welcomed Tottenham to Molineux earlier in the month, a high-flying Wolves will certainly have a party atmosphere in their camp this weekend.
Eventually falling to a 1-0 defeat at home against champions-elect Liverpool last week, that result was enough to confirm Leicester’s relegation and the Foxes will already be planning for life back in the Championship.
Dealing with a host of issues both on the pitch and behind the scenes, it remains to be seen what the future holds for Ruud van Nistelrooy following on from what has been a woeful stint at the King Power.
Heading into March’s international break with a 3-0 drumming against Man United, Saturday’s guests have remarkably collected just a single point from any of their previous 10 consecutive Premier League appearances.
Likewise, mustering just a sole top-flight win since the start of December, Leicester were also hit with another 3-0 defeat when they met Wolves for their reverse Premier League showdown on December 22nd.
