The table is firmly taking shape, with runaway leaders Liverpool sitting at the top of the tree after their last win against Manchester City. However, they face a tough elimination day this week and the chasing pack will be sniffing around to capitalize on any mistakes from Arne Slot’s team.
Equipment at low in the standings must also take control of their next fixtures, with the likes of Southampton, Ipswich Town and Wolverhampton Wanderers still in trouble after the latest set of results.
Here’s how 90 minutes expect Gameweek 14 to unfold.
Tuesday, December 3
Week 14 begins at Portman Road when Ipswich Town to entertain Crystal Palace. The two teams have just a couple of wins between them, strangely both against Tottenham Hotspur, but it’s the Tractor Boys who can finally get their second win of the season on Tuesday night.
West Ham United couldn’t follow up an impressive win over Newcastle United against Arsenal, with seven goals from their defeat by 5-2 coming to the first part. The pressure remains on Julen Lopetegui’s shoulders and the Hammers could be victims of some kind of bounce back from the new manager when they face Ruud van Nistelrooy. City of Leicesterwho themselves were rudderless in defeating Brentford.

Wednesday, December 4
Four games will kick off at 19:30 GMT on Wednesday evening. everton they were truly abject as they conceded goal after goal in a big defeat at Old Trafford and Sean Dyche simply has to oversee a positive result against Wolverhampton Wanderers. Gary O’Neil’s side are back in the relegation zone after losing to Bournemouth but have attacking stars like Matheus Cunha who could make life difficult for the Toffees.
Pep Guardiola has been overwhelmed Manchester CityThe winless streak has been extended to seven games at Anfield. They would be big favorites at home against Nottingham Forest most years, but their lack of confidence may come to the fore again, with visiting striker Chris Wood again on the scoresheet against Ipswich.
Things couldn’t have gone much better for Arne Slot Liverpool with over a third of the league season now completed. The Reds have a nine-point lead in the title race and should have enough in the tank to overcome a Newcastle team that has not found much consistency this term.
Chelsea they have emerged as genuine Champions League contenders and their vibrant attack should find plenty of holes Southamptonthe defense to leave St Mary’s with the three points.
arsenal they’re back on track after picking up three comprehensive victories on the bounce. The Gunners were clinical in their defeat at the London Stadium and while Ruben Amorim oversaw their first league win as Manchester United The manager against Everton, should continue his recent run with another win at the Emirates Stadium in one of the two 8.15pm games.
Another fascinating duel comes to Villa Park. Aston Villa have fallen to 12th after not winning a league game since mid-October and Brentford they are not ideal opponents to face as they look to end their barren run. Although the Bees have the strongest home record in 2024/25, Thomas Frank’s side are yet to win on the road.

Thursday, December 5
The midweek action concludes on Thursday, starting at Craven Cottage where Fulham high-flying host Brighton & Hove Albion. The Seagulls were held in check by Southampton on Friday night but can fancy their chances of victory in west London against a Cottagers side who took a point away from Tottenham Hotspur last time out.
Tottenham they have the second best goal difference in the division but continue to slip after encouraging results. They could definitely win a Bournemouth if they turn up, but the Cherries ran riot against Wolves and could put Spurs to the sword if Ange Postecoglou’s troops are not careful.
