Sunday's Premier League predictions including Manchester City vs. Newcastle

Sports Mole provides score predictions and previews for all of today's Premier League fixtures, including Manchester City vs. Newcastle.

Two sides scrapping for points at opposite ends of the Premier League table lock horns at the Emirates on Sunday afternoon as Arsenal play host to Leeds United.

The Gunners got the better of West Ham United 2-1 in their most recent battle, whereas Jesse Marsch's men were thumped 4-0 by Manchester City at Elland Road.

We say: Arsenal 2-0 Leeds United


Arsenal were far from their best at the London Stadium and have fared worse against bottom-half sides than their top-half rivals in recent weeks, but facing the Premier League's worst defensive side rocked by an injury to one of their stalwarts spells success for the Gunners.

Marsch's side may fancy their chances against an Arsenal backline that is not watertight anymore, but the chance to potentially move five points clear of Spurs - unless something dramatic happens at Anfield - is one that the Gunners should not pass up.

Data Analysis

Our analysis of all available data, including recent performances and player stats, suggests the most likely outcome of this match is a Arsenal win with a probability of 64.05%. A draw has a probability of 19.4% and a win for Leeds United has a probability of 16.59%.

The most likely scoreline is Arsenal 2-1 Leeds United with a probability of 9.84% and the second most likely scoreline is Arsenal 2-0 Leeds United with a probability of 9.47%.

Leicester vs. Everton (Sunday, 2.00pm)

Having seen their Europa Conference League hopes crash and burn at the Stadio Olimpico, Leicester City resume the remainder of their Premier League campaign with Sunday's visit of Everton at the King Power Stadium.

The Foxes were eliminated from continental competition after a 1-0 second-leg semi-final loss to Roma, while the Toffees most recently won by the same scoreline against Chelsea.

We say: Leicester City 1-1 Everton


Everton are playing out of their skin right now and have given the Goodison Park faithful plenty to cheer in recent matches, but their abysmal away form makes it difficult to envisage the Toffees claiming another priceless three points here.

A wounded Leicester with numerous options for change are a dangerous proposition, but Thursday night's long journey home could see a well-rested and inspired Everton claim a second score draw in the space of a month versus the Foxes, who have little to fight for in the final few weeks.

Data Analysis

Our analysis of all available data, including recent performances and player stats, suggests the most likely outcome of this match is a Leicester City win with a probability of 65.41%. A draw has a probability of 19.4% and a win for Everton has a probability of 15.22%.

The most likely scoreline is Leicester City 2-0 Everton with a probability of 10.43% and the second most likely scoreline is Leicester City 2-1 Everton with a probability of 9.87%.


Our tipster partners are predicting under 2.5 goals.

Norwich vs. West Ham (Sunday, 2.00pm)

West Ham United will be looking to put aside their Europa League heartache when they travel to Carrow Road to face already-relegated Norwich City in the Premier League on Sunday afternoon.

The Canaries have lost four of their last five league games on home soil, while the Hammers have lost seven of their last eight matches on the road across all competitions.

We say: Norwich City 1-3 West Ham United


While Norwich only have pride to play for on Sunday, West Ham will view this fixture as a must-win if they are to finish the campaign in the top six.

The Hammers have endured a miserable run of form on the road in recent weeks, but we expect them to bounce back and secure all three points against the Canaries.

Data Analysis

Our analysis of all available data, including recent performances and player stats, suggests the most likely outcome of this match is a West Ham United win with a probability of 48.23%. A win for Norwich City has a probability of 26.7% and a draw has a probability of 25.1%.

The most likely scoreline is Norwich City 1-1 West Ham United with a probability of 11.91% and the second most likely scoreline is Norwich City 0-1 West Ham United with a probability of 10.74%.


Our tipster partners are predicting over 2.5 goals.

Man City vs. Newcastle (Sunday, 4.30pm)

Seeking to quickly dust themselves down after their heartbreaking Champions League exit in midweek, Manchester City will bid to keep their Premier League title hopes alive when they welcome Newcastle United to the Etihad Stadium on Sunday afternoon.

The Citizens cruised to victory in the reverse fixture against the Magpies when they won 4-0 at St James' Park in December.

We say: Manchester City 3-1 Newcastle United


While Man City may feel physically and mentally fatigued following their midweek efforts in Europe, Guardiola will want his players to treat each of the last four league fixtures as a final and put all their remaining energy into claiming maximum points on Sunday as they bid to finish the weekend at the summit.

Newcastle have struggled for a number of years when facing City on the road, and although their form has improved since the arrival of Howe, we cannot look past the Citizens claiming maximum points even if they decide to rotate their squad from midweek.

Data Analysis

Our analysis of all available data, including recent performances and player stats, suggests the most likely outcome of this match is a Manchester City win with a probability of 79.54%. A draw has a probability of 12.8% and a win for Newcastle United has a probability of 7.63%.

The most likely scoreline is Manchester City 2-0 Newcastle United with a probability of 10.51% and the second most likely scoreline is Manchester City 3-0 Newcastle United with a probability of 10.03%.
