Sunday's Premier League predictions including Tottenham Hotspur vs. Chelsea

Sports Mole provides score predictions and previews for all of today's Premier League fixtures, including Tottenham Hotspur vs. Chelsea.


Fulham vs. Arsenal (Sunday, 2.00pm)

Arsenal past will reunite with Arsenal present on Sunday afternoon, as the Gunners take on a Fulham side housing a handful of their former stars in Sunday's Premier League London derby.

Both capital clubs earned two-goal successes in the midweek round of matches, as Mikel Arteta's team defeated Manchester United 2-0 before the Cottagers saw off Brighton & Hove Albion 3-1 to boost their European charge.

We say: Fulham 1-3 Arsenal


Each of Fulham's seven Premier League home matches this season has seen both teams score, and that trend ought to continue in this intriguing derby, as Arsenal can still get caught out defensively and are a little short on personnel in that area.

However, the Gunners should have won by more in midweek, and if all else fails, the visitors can rely on their Jover-inspired corner routines to see off a wildly inconsistent Cottagers team.

Ipswich vs. Bournemouth (Sunday, 2.00pm)

Andoni Iraola will hope his Bournemouth side can continue their remarkable start to the 2024-25 Premier League season when they travel to Portman Road where they will face Ipswich Town on Sunday.

The hosts are third last in 18th place with just nine points, and their 1-0 defeat against Crystal Palace on December 3 meant they fell three points behind safety, while the Cherries beat Tottenham Hotspur 1-0 on Thursday and are in ninth place with 21 points.

We say: Ipswich Town 1-1 Bournemouth


Bournemouth's poor away record and defensive frailty could be something that the hosts look to exploit in the first half, taking advantage of any tired legs following the Cherries' win on Thursday.

However, Ipswich' struggles in the final third could give the visitors the opportunity they need to assert their dominance as the game goes on, and it would not be surprising if the points were shared on Sunday.

Leicester vs. Brighton (Sunday, 2.00pm)

Looking to preserve their 100% record since the arrival of Ruud van Nistelrooy, Leicester City will welcome Brighton & Hove Albion to the King Power Stadium for a Premier League battle on Sunday afternoon.

The Foxes managed a 3-1 success over out-of-form West Ham United in the East Midlands on Tuesday night, whilst the Seagulls' poor run against Fulham continued at Craven Cottage two days later.

We say: Leicester City 1-2 Brighton & Hove Albion


Despite the comfortable-looking scoreline, Leicester rode their luck at times against West Ham and will not be able to get away with conceding countless shots for a second time this week.

Brighton were arguably the better side at Craven Cottage on Thursday night and should be able to return to winning ways at the home of the Foxes.

Spurs vs. Chelsea (Sunday, 4.30pm)

On the back of contrasting performances on the South Coast, London rivals Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea headline Sunday's Premier League fixture list with a mouthwatering derby at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

While Enzo Maresca's men made extremely light work of Southampton in a 5-1 midweek mauling, their hosts were fortunate to only lose by a narrow margin in their 1-0 reverse at Bournemouth.

We say: Tottenham Hotspur 1-3 Chelsea


As Tottenham may be working with just one fit centre-back and a day's less rest than their opponents, the home faithful may resign themselves to a repeat of last year's home humbling at the hands of Chelsea.

Postecoglou's men were highly fortunate to only concede once on Bournemouth's turf, but a goal-happy Chelsea should not make the same attacking mistakes the Cherries did at one of their happiest hunting grounds.
