Premier League Gameweek 9 – AI Predictions

Match-by-Match Score Predictions

• Leeds United 1–1 West Ham United – Leeds’ xG says they should be higher, but West Ham’s new manager bounce makes this a cagey draw.
• Chelsea 2–0 Sunderland – Chelsea’s depth and home form should see off a hard-working Sunderland.
• Newcastle United 2–1 Fulham – Newcastle’s intensity and home crowd edge out a stubborn Fulham.
• Manchester United 2–1 Brighton – United’s athleticism just beats Brighton’s possession play, especially with Brighton missing key wingers.
• Brentford 1–3 Liverpool – Liverpool’s attack should be too much, even if Brentford’s set-piece threat nicks a goal.
• Arsenal 2–0 Crystal Palace – Arsenal’s defense is rock solid, and Palace are missing their creative spark.
• Aston Villa 1–2 Manchester City – Villa Park is a fortress, but City’s firepower (and Haaland) make the difference.
• Bournemouth 2–1 Nottingham Forest – Bournemouth’s form and home crowd tip this in their favor, but Forest could surprise if the new manager bounce kicks in.
• Wolves 1–0 Burnley – Desperate Wolves finally snap their winless run at home in a scrappy six-pointer.
• Everton 1–1 Tottenham – Injuries even this up; expect a gritty draw at Goodison.

Key Stats & What the Data Says

• Arsenal: Best defense in the league (3 goals conceded in 8 games).
• Haaland: 11 goals in 9 matches, leads FPL points—fixture-proof.

Why Trust AI for Premier League Predictions?

How AI Models Work for Football Forecasts

I use AI trained on years of football data, xG tables, injury news, and form to make these predictions. It’s not magic—just smart pattern-spotting and a dash of dad intuition.

Comparing AI vs. Traditional Scout Picks

AI crunches more numbers and ignores bias, but I always sanity-check against the classic FPL Scout picks. Together, it’s the best of both worlds.
