Premier League Betting Tips On Wednesday 7th January 2026: City Looking To Get Back On Track Against Brighton

No rest for the English top-flight players at the moment as hot on the heels of the busy festive period comes GAMEWEEK 21 – with EIGHT of the ten games being played on Wednesday.

There are six matches at 7:30pm that include a local derby as Fulham host neighbours Chelsea. A clash the Blues won 2-1 last season.

While in this batch of earlier games, Aston Villa travel to Crystal Palace.

Then the two 8:15pm matches will see Burnley entertain Manchester United, who sacked their manager Ruben Amorim earlier this week.

With in-form Leeds making the trip to Newcastle – a match-up that has a habit of throwing up draws. More on that below.

So, if you’re having a wager on Wednesday’s big games – see our quick-fire stats-based Premier League betting tips, which will hopefully point you in the direction of a few winners.

Bournemouth vs Tottenham 19:30

Despite a decent start to the season, Spurs have dropped off the pace over the last few months and will start Gameweek 21 in 13th on 27 points.

Their form has led to the next Tottenham manager betting odds market getting plenty of interest of late too, with the bookies speculating on who might take over from Thomas Frank.

Anyway, next up for the North Londoners is a trip south to Bournemouth, which could be a tricky game for Spurs – if recent meetings between the sides are anything to go by.

Spurs have already lost at home to the Cherries this season, while the south coast team took four points off them last season too.

The last time Tottenham beat Bournemouth was on NYE 2023.

While Spurs have only won two of their last six against Bournemouth.

But the plus for Tottenham this season, is away from home their form is much better (17pts).

Only bitter rivals Arsenal have picked up more points on the road.

Whereas, at home Bournemouth have only won four of their 10 matches in the league.

All this makes this a tricky game to call.

Plus, even the main scoring markets are hard to call – with 50% of the last four games going Over 2.5 Goals and the other half under.

With the same applying to both teams scoring.

Bournemouth are the favourites in the match betting at 11/10, but with Spurs better on the road – the 9/4 is tempting.

Let’s just play this one safe (hopefully) and opt for Spurs/Draw in the ‘Double Chance’ market at 8/11.

Backed up with Tottenham having only lost two games away in the league this campaign.

BEST BET: DOUBLE CHANCE ‘Spurs/Draw’ @ 8/11 

Match Odds

Brentford vs Sunderland 19:30

After coming from behind to grab a 1-1 draw against Tottenham in their last game, Sunderland are still in 8th (30pts) and next up travel to Brentford.

With the Black Cats now 13/10 for a top ten finish and head here unbeaten in five, with their last four all being draws.

Brentford are in good order in recent games too and up to 7th (30pts), having beaten Everton 4-2 in their last game and are unbeaten in four.

The Bees are also decent at home in the league this season, with six wins (three draws) and has only lost one.

These two played earlier in the season, with Sunderland winning 2-1 at home.

But before that Brentford were five games unbeaten against Sunderland. But hadn’t met since the 2017/18 season in the Championship.

Overall, it’s another tough game to predict – especially as the Black Cats will probably be happy with yet another draw.

However, as mentioned Brentford don’t lose many at home these days and are scoring well too – they’ve fired in ten goals in their last four matches.

Therefore, even though Sunderland are expected to make life hard – Brentford to win here at 4/5 looks the best option.

BEST BET: BRENTFORD @ 4/5 

Match Odds

Crystal Palace vs Aston Villa 19:30

The Palace form is questionable at the moment, as despite three draws (all comps), they’ve not won a game since beating Shelbourne in Europe on the 11th December.

Which takes them on a run of seven games without a win.

Plus their boss Oliver Glasner is also featuring high up the lists in the next Manchester United manager betting odds market – after the Red Devils sacked Amorim this week.

Could the Austrian jump ship?

This poor run has seen the Eagles drop from a top six place to 14th (27pts), and things don’t get much easier with Aston Villa rolling into Selhurst Park next.

Villa are third in the league too and being only six points off leaders Arsenal still have an outside squeak in the title race.

Which further adds to this being a tough game for the Eagles.

Yes, Palace are at home – but the South Londoners have only won two of their home league games this season.

Whereas Villa have won 50% of their 10 away league games (lost three).

The Eagles Thumped Villa 3-0 Earlier This Season

Palace will gain hope though from having beaten Villa 3-0 away already this season – plus actually have a good record when facing the Midlands side.

Backed up with the Eagles currently on a run of SIX games unbeaten against Villa – one of which was a 3-0 FA Cup semi-final win over them last season.

With this in mind, Palace/Draw in the ‘Double Chance’ market might appeal at 8/13. With the Eagles just needing to avoid defeat for this bet to collect.

But Palace/Villa also tends to produce goals – ALL of the last seven H2H’s have seen OVER 2.5 GOALS, with eight of the last 12 seeing both teams score.

So, the 10/11 on OVER 2.5 GOALS looks fair value on a bet that has paid out 100% of the time over the last seven H2H’s.

BEST BET: OVER 2.5 GOALS @ 10/11 

Match Odds

Everton vs Wolverhampton Wanderers 19:30 

Wolves will be buzzing after grabbing their first league win of the season against West Ham in their last game.

This has moved them up to six points and will give them a glimmer of hope of having a better 2026 and staying up.

That said, they are still 12 points off Forest in 17th – but you never know.

Next up is a trip to Everton, who are 12th on 28 points, but come here off a 4-2 defeat against Brentford.

The sides have met in the league this season too, with that ending in a 3-2 win for Everton.

But Wolves will gain hope knowing they beat the Toffees 2-0 at home in the League Cup back in September.

Everton thumped Wolves 4-0 in this repeat game last season.

However, it’s worth noting before that – Wolves had won their last three trips to Goodison Park.

It’s another tricky game, but with Wolves potentially gaining confidence from that recent win and also not conceding.

The 11/10 on Wolves/Draw in the ‘Double Chance’ market is chanced.

BEST BET: WOLVES/DRAW ‘Double Chance’ @ 11/10

Match Odds

Fulham vs Chelsea 19:30 

We’ve also got the West London Derby on Wednesday night as Fulham host neighbours Chelsea at Craven Cottage.

Despite not having a manager in their last game, Chelsea held Man City to a 1-1 draw last Sunday and will start gameweek 21 in 5th on 31 points.

Liam Rosenior should be appointed by the time this game comes around as the former Brighton man is rumoured to be the favourite to take over.

But the Blues will face a Fulham side in good order at the moment – having only lost ONE of their last six.

They will also still be buzzing from their recent 2-2 draw against Liverpool, thanks to a stunning 97th minute humdinger from Harrison Reed.

Fulham have also won 50% of their 10 home league games this season (three defeats), but Chelsea have only lost two on the road in the league this term.

The Blues are liking the draw at the moment too – with three of their last four games ending all square.

Chelsea have also beaten Fulham this season already (2-0) and also won this repeat clash 2-1 last season.

While Chelsea have also only lost ONE of their last six against Fulham and scored in 13 of their last 14 vs the Cottagers.

Cole Palmer has scored for Chelsea against Fulham in two of the last four H2H’s too and is 21/10 to find the back of the net again.

But with Fulham having home advantage and scoring well at the moment. We think both teams to score here at 4/6 is the way to go.

BEST BET: BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE @ 4/6

Match Odds

Manchester City vs Brighton 17:30

City lost ground on Arsenal last weekend with a 1-1 draw against Chelsea, despite dominating the game.

They are now six points off the Gunners and will know they can’t afford many more dropped points.

City are now 16/5 for the title, with Arsenal the red-hot 4/11 favourites.

Next up for City though is at least another home game as Brighton roll into the Etihad Stadium on Wednesday.

Brighton saw off Burnley 2-0 in their last game but will face a City team that have only lost at home once in the league this season (Spurs).

City are also on a run of ten games without a loss and so it’s no shock to see them as short at 2/5 in the match betting market.

But anyone wading into City at long odds on might be reminded they lost to Brighton (away) this season 2-1.

Plus, the Seagulls are actually three games unbeaten against City. With his clash last season ending 2-2, which you can back again at 16/1.

So, this could be another potential banana skin for the former Premier League champs.

The 2/5 on a City win is way too short.

But with their main man Erling Haaland is often on the scoresheet against Brighto. So the 8/13 (despite short) on him scoring looks the way to play this one.

City’s Norwegian striker has scored six goals in the last seven H2H’s.

BEST BET: ERLING HAALAND TO SCORE ANYTIME @ 8/13

Match Odds

Burnley vs Manchester United 20:15

The desperate times at Manchester United have raised their head again this week with manager Ruben Amorim sacked and Darren Fletcher standing in at the moment.

However, despite things being uneasy off the field and with management, whoever does come in will find United not doing that badly. Sitting in 6th on 31 points.

They’ve also only lost two of their last 14 games – which makes the Amorim sacking even more odd to some.

Plus, they face a struggling Burnley side next. Arguably one of the best games a new manager could ask for.

Especially as Burnley have only won two league home games all season.

They faced-off at Old Trafford back in August too, with United winning that 3-2.

And the Red Devils also head here unbeaten in their last eight against the Clarets.

Man Utd have also won six of their last seven away games at Burnley ‘to nil’ – which can be backed again at 85/40.

But, as mentioned, United are not exactly in bad form – just one loss in their last eight.

So, let’s just snap up the 8/11 on a Red Devils win here and move on.

BEST BET: MAN UTD WIN @ 8/11 

Match Odds

Newcastle United vs Leeds United 20:15

Our final Premier League betting tip on Wednesday will see Leeds travel to St James’ Park to face Newcastle.

Leeds have had a great Christmas period and come here unbeaten in their last seven games now.

They are up to 16th (22pts), but it’s worth noting they’ve also like a draw at the moment. With five stalemates in their last six.

Newcastle saw off Palace 2-0 in their last game and has lost only one of their last five.

But despite this the next Newcastle manager betting odds market has still be very active this season. As the bookies suggesting Eddie Howe might still leave before this campaign is out.

The sides played out a 0-0 draw at Elland Road in August and, in fact, sharing the points has been the order of the day when these sides meet.

The last three H2H’s all ended in draws and also four of the last five.

Therefore, at 11/4, another draw looks decent value with two fairly in-form sides locking horns.

Or if you are looking for another bet, then maybe Under 2.5 Goals at Evs. With four of the last five meetings seeing two or less total goals scored.

BEST BET: DRAW @ 11/4
