After a weekend off due to the FA Cup, Week 25 of the Premier League has arrived and there is plenty of action to analyze and predict.

It is hard to believe that 24 weeks of Premier League action is already in the books and that only 13 weeks remain in the 2019-20 campaign. Week 24 of the Premier League did not disappoint fans as last week’s games consisted of good competition and a few late shockers.

Aston Villa claimed a crucial victory against Watford by scoring the winning goal in the 95th minute. Everton were ready to celebrate a 2-0 victory over Newcastle United at Goodison Park, but two goals in 102 seconds deep in stoppage time from Florian Lejeune  led to a dramatic draw.

The top three, Liverpool, Manchester City, and Leicester City each secured three points, but Chelsea and Arsenal shared the spoils in a 2-2 draw. The biggest upset last week was Burnley shutting out Manchester United at Old Trafford by a score of 2-0.

Week 25 has some good games lined up. Leicester City host Chelsea, and Manchester City will travel to London for a clash with Tottenham. League leaders Liverpool will play twice this week, so it will be interesting to see how Jurgen Klopp approaches the games against West Ham and Southampton. That being said, here are predictions for every game that will be played this week.

Liverpool win big in London

Liverpool have done a phenomenal job of maintaining their primacy in the Premier League this season. The European champions have only conceded one goal in their last four games as they comfortably defeated Sheffield United, Tottenham, Manchester United and Wolverhampton.

The only way West Ham can be competitive in Wednesday’s game is if Jurgen Klopp decides to rest some key players for the Southampton game on Saturday. West Ham are one of the most inconsistent teams in the Premier League and they will suffer a heavy defeat that could send them into the relegation zone depending on how many goals Liverpool score. West Ham are currently level on points with 18th-placed Bournemouth, but the Hammers have a slightly better goal differential.

Prediction: West Ham 0-3 Liverpool
