We are here with our Gameweek 4 26-27 Premier League predictions for this week. The 2026/27 Premier League season is already beginning to take shape, and Gameweek 4 brings another round of fascinating fixtures. There are several matches that could have major implications for the early-season table, with Chelsea looking to bounce back, Arsenal facing a tricky away trip and both Manchester clubs meeting in the headline fixture of the weekend.
Here are our Premier League Gameweek 4 predictions, including predicted scores for all 10 fixtures.
1. Aston Villa vs Nottingham Forest
Aston Villa's rebuild, as we mentioned earlier, is likely to be a long and painful one. Their difficult start could become even more challenging after their Champions League fixture against Club Brugge this week.
The European game is likely to take a significant physical toll on Villa's players, particularly with a demanding Premier League fixture immediately afterwards. Nottingham Forest should be ready to take advantage of any fatigue and could cause Villa serious problems on the counter-attack.
Prediction: Aston Villa 1 - 3 Nottingham Forest
2. Bournemouth vs Brentford
Both Bournemouth and Brentford have made decent starts to the new Premier League campaign, making this one of the more difficult games to call.
There isn't much separating the two teams on paper, and their attacking approaches could produce an entertaining contest. We expect both sides to find the net, but neither team should be able to establish enough control to claim all three points.
Prediction: Bournemouth 2 - 2 Brentford
3. Chelsea vs Hull City
Chelsea will be determined to respond after their disappointing defeat against Arsenal. The Blues should have plenty of motivation heading into this fixture and will be looking to make a statement.
Hull City have enjoyed a promising start and remain unbeaten heading into Gameweek 4, but this represents a significant step up in quality. Chelsea's superior squad depth should ultimately prove decisive, with the hosts expected to inflict Hull's first Premier League defeat of the season.
Prediction: Chelsea 3 - 1 Hull City
4. Crystal Palace vs Ipswich Town
Crystal Palace head into this fixture full of confidence after producing a huge comeback victory against Fulham.
That result could provide the Eagles with exactly the momentum they need to kick-start their campaign. Ipswich will have to deal with a Palace side playing with greater belief and attacking confidence, and we expect the hosts to make their momentum count.
Prediction: Crystal Palace 3 - 1 Ipswich Town
5. Liverpool vs Fulham
Andoni Iraola's Liverpool appear to be improving with every passing game, while things are going from bad to worse for Arbeloa's Fulham.
Liverpool have shown increasing confidence and attacking quality, and this looks like another fixture where their momentum can continue. Fulham could struggle to contain Liverpool's attacking threat, particularly if the hosts establish control early.
We expect the story to repeat itself once again, with Liverpool securing another convincing victory.
Prediction: Liverpool 4 - 1 Fulham
6. Tottenham Hotspur vs Everton
Tottenham's miserable run could continue in Gameweek 4.
Spurs have struggled to find consistency, and Everton will fancy their chances of exploiting those weaknesses. Everton have shown enough resilience to make this a difficult evening for the hosts, and we are backing them to produce one of the weekend's surprise results.
Prediction: Tottenham Hotspur 1 - 3 Everton
7. Sunderland vs Arsenal
Arsenal face a potentially tricky away fixture against Sunderland.
While the hosts could make life uncomfortable for the Gunners, Arsenal simply possess too much quality across the pitch. Their squad depth and individual talent should eventually make the difference, allowing Mikel Arteta's side to negotiate another difficult fixture successfully.
Prediction: Sunderland 1 - 3 Arsenal
8. Coventry City vs Brighton
This could be one of the most one-sided fixtures of Gameweek 4.
We expect both teams to play with an attacking mentality, potentially producing a goal fest. However, Brighton's superior quality should allow them to take control of the game, particularly as the match progresses.
A comfortable away victory looks the most likely outcome.
Prediction: Coventry City 1 - 4 Brighton
9. Manchester United vs Manchester City
The Manchester derby is undoubtedly the headline fixture of Gameweek 4.
Manchester United have developed a reputation for struggling against supposedly weaker opposition before raising their level in the biggest games. However, we don't expect that pattern to repeat this time.
Maresca's Manchester City should have enough quality and tactical discipline to control the derby and punish United's weaknesses. We are backing City to claim bragging rights at Old Trafford.
Prediction: Manchester United 1 - 3 Manchester City
10. Leeds United vs Newcastle United
We expect an entertaining encounter between Leeds and Newcastle, with both sides capable of causing problems in attack.
Newcastle will be looking to continue their unbeaten run under Mathias Jaissle, but Leeds should have enough attacking threat to prevent the visitors from taking all three points. A high-scoring draw looks like the most likely outcome.
Prediction: Leeds United 2 - 2 Newcastle United
Premier League Gameweek 4 Predictions
Gameweek 4 promises plenty of drama, with the Manchester derby taking centre stage. Chelsea and Arsenal are also expected to pick up important wins, while Nottingham Forest and Everton could provide two of the weekend's biggest surprises.
