Premier League GW16 predictions: Arsenal return to winning ways while Man United pick up another valuable three points

The 2025-26 Premier League campaign continues this weekend, with four matches on Saturday, five on Sunday and one on Monday.

Premier League leaders Arsenal will be aiming to return to winning ways when they welcome basement side Wolverhampton Wanderers to the Emirates Stadium in Saturday's late start, while Chelsea and Liverpool are also both in action earlier in the day.

The pick of Sunday's games takes place at the Stadium of Light, as Sunderland welcome bitter rivals Newcastle United for the Tyne–Wear derby.

Manchester United will then bring the gameweek to a close on Monday evening with a home fixture against Bournemouth.

In the 16th set of fixtures, Sports Mole are facing off against Sunbeams frontman Jimmy Organ-Simpson, who is a Leeds United fan.

Read on to discover Jimmy's and our predictions for gameweek 16 of the 2025-26 campaign, in addition to a look at how DJ and producer Shadow Child performed in the 15th set of fixtures this season, as the Premier League table starts to take shape.

Chelsea vs. Everton

Saturday, 3pm

Jimmy: Chelsea 2-1 Everton

Sports Mole: Chelsea 1-1 Everton

Everton have struggled to grind out positive results in away encounters with Chelsea for some time, but they will feel that they are facing the West Londoners at an ideal time given the contrasting form of the two teams.

Although the Blues will be regarded as favourites on home soil, we are backing the in-form Toffees to frustrate Maresca’s men and claim at least a share of the spoils at Stamford Bridge.

Liverpool vs. Brighton & Hove Albion

Saturday, 3pm

Jimmy: N/A

Sports Mole: Liverpool 2-2 Brighton

An early breakthrough will not guarantee victory on Saturday, given that the team scoring first has failed to win any of the last four Premier League meetings between Liverpool and Brighton.

Considering that the Anfield aura has faded in recent weeks, with Liverpool failing to win any of their last three home games and conceding seven goals (D1 L2), we can see the Seagulls claiming at least a share of the spoils from what could turn out to be an entertaining, end-to-end contest.

Burnley vs. Fulham

Saturday, 5.30pm

Jimmy: Burnley 0-0 Fulham

Arsenal vs. Wolverhampton Wanderers

Saturday, 8pm

Jimmy: Arsenal 4-0 Wolves

Sports Mole: Arsenal 4-0 Wolves

A table-topping Arsenal side taking on a 20th-placed Wolves outfit, who have been unable to buy a Premier League win all season - what could possibly go wrong, Gooners?

The 'banter era' is long gone, though, and there is nothing to suggest that the Old Gold can pull off the shock of all shocks - a goal-laden Arsenal victory is surely on the cards.

Crystal Palace vs. Manchester City

Sunday, 2pm

Jimmy: Palace 1-2 Man City

Jimmy Organ-Simpson Q&A

How did you come to support Leeds and what are your favourite memories from your time as a fan?

Jimmy: As long as I can remember. I got the new Leeds kit for my birthday as a kid and although I have Leeds and Middlesbrough fans in the family it was the Whites I chose (or was chosen for me!)

My era as a fan hasn’t been blessed with good memories in terms of success but there’s been plenty of memories made watching Leeds home and away with the lads. My favourite, I’d have to say, was watching Raphinha in that [Marcelo] Bielsa team. Unplayable!

Who have been your favourite five players for Leeds?

Jimmy: Mark Viduka, Ian Harte, Mateusz Klich, Pablo Hernandez, Raphinha.

What's going on with the band at the moment?

Jimmy: We’re dropping our latest EP in the new year so we’re currently planning a tour around that! We’ve also got a hometown show at Whitby Pavilion on December 27th to finish off what has been our biggest year yet!

Sunbeam's new single ‘Afterglow’ is out now.
