Premier League Predictions…

Here are our predictions for this weekend, along with Chris Sutton at the BBC:

STAT ATTACK: Hammers v Forest tonight…

West Ham v Nottingham Forest - 8pm, Sky Sports

Standout stats:

• West Ham have only kept one Clean Sheet in the Premier League this season - and that was at Forest back in August… 

• Nottingham Forest haven’t scored a league goal by a recognised striker since Igor Jesus’ strike at bottom club Wolves on 3rd December. In the 6 games since then, midfielders Callum Hudson-Odoi (2), Ibrahim Sangare (now away on International duty at AFCON), Omari Hutchinson, and top scorer Morgan Gibbs-White have come up with goals for Sean Dyche’s side…

• While those Forest midfielders are around 3/1 each to score this evening, keep an eye out for defender Nikola Milenkovic instead - available at much bigger prices. The big Serbian centre-back was the joint top-scoring defender in the division in 2024/25 with 5 goals - but is yet to score a league goal in 2025/26. He found the net against the Hammers last season…

Stat Attack Selections:

• Anytime Scorer: Nikola Milenkovic is 14/1 with Ladbrokes & Coral

• First Goalscorer: Nikola Milenkovic is 33/1 with Ladbrokes & Coral

Man City v Brighton - Man City to win
