EPL Gameweek 5 2026: Tips & Predictions

We have backed Brentford most weeks, but we’re going with Chelsea to score a road win on Saturday morning.

Chelsea has a good attacking line, but giving up goals has been the problem. However, they should defend well against Brentford, who have four draws and a win from five games, and they’re due a loss.

Cole Palmer has made a good start to his season, and he could be influential in Chelsea’s success this week.

Desperation is the flavour of this game as Tottenham and Aston Villa look to secure their first wins of the season.

Tottenham has played better over the last two weeks with two draws, and that is enough to include them in EPL predictions this week.

Big bets have come for them to win after opening at $2.40, so the market support is a positive, and we’re happy to follow the market move for a team that’s close to cracking the code to winning games.

Our EPL best bets include Newcastle United to beat Hull City and bounce back from a loss last week.

Hull City has done well to start the season with two wins and two draws, so they’re playing with confidence, but it’s only a matter of time before they lose, and it could come on the road against Newcastle.

We like Newcastle’s team, and they’re a good EPL multi bet inclusion this week.

Ipswich Town was too good for Crystal Palace last week, and although Palace had a player down, it was still a professional performance.

It could be enough to secure a draw against Everton, who come off three consecutive draws. They’re finding it tough to put wins on the board, and that could be the case again this week at home.

The $3.70 odds are generous for the draw, so include them in EPL tips this week.

Punters continue to get value odds for Arsenal, who have had a busy recent schedule, but the $1.70 odds are too good to pass up.

Last year’s champions are unbeaten in four matches this season, and we can’t see their unbeaten run coming to an end at the hands of Brighton & Hove Albion.

We priced Arsenal at around $1.50 to win, and betting support is likely to come for them throughout the week. Therefore, take the odds available while they last.

The start to the season hasn’t gone well for Coventry City, as expected, and Nottingham Forest should take control of this game in the first half.

Nottingham Forest comes off a quality win last week, which was their first win of the season. It was a good performance, and their confidence levels should be much higher now.

The $2.45 odds for a halftime/fulltime win are worth including in EPL Gameweek 5 predictions.

Bournemouth are accustomed to scoring draws, but that could be tough to achieve against Liverpool, who have yet to lose this season.

Liverpool has only one win from four matches, but they’re building towards a big performance, and it could come against a team like Bournemouth, whose attack hasn’t fired yet.

A close game is expected, but Liverpool’s class should prevail in the second half.

Our EPL predictions this week have Manchester City scoring a comfortable win at home over Sunderland AFC.

City are unbeaten in four matches, and it’s Erling Haaland scoring the goals. He’s a dynamic player, and he looks set to score many more goals this week. We have Haaland scoring 2+ goals, which will be enough for City to win.

Take the -1 line, as City should win 2-0 or 3-0.

Our EPL best bets include Leeds United to beat Crystal Palace. We have backed Palace a few times this season, but not much is going their way, including getting a red card last week.

Things are going much better for Leeds, who have two wins and two draws. That’s a good start for a team like Leeds, who are playing a good brand of football, and it’s enough to beat teams like Palace.

The $1.83 odds are better than expected, so they’re worth backing this week.

Bryan Mbeumo has a goal in three of his last five games, and he could score for Manchester United against Fulham.

Punters get value odds of $2.90, and although United has many scoring options, Mbeumo puts himself in the action.

Our EPL Gameweek 5 tips are happy to include him as an exotic bet.
