Jones Knows Predicts this Week’s Premier League Matches
Leeds United vs Burnley
Jones Knows’ prediction: Leeds 2-0 Burnley Best bet: Jayden Bogle 2+ fouls (5/4 with Sky Bet)
Jones Knows backs Leeds 2-0 but his standout angle is on the fouls market. Jayden Bogle is described as an aggressive, all-action wing-back who plays on the edge defensively — committing at least one foul in each of his last 12 starts and averaging 1.9 fouls per 90 minutes. The match-up makes the play even more appealing: if Bogle lines up against Jaidon Anthony, who averages 1.6 fouls drawn per game, the dynamic shifts further in his favour. At 5/4 with Sky Bet for 2+ fouls, the data and the match-up both line up neatly.
Brentford vs West Ham United
Jones Knows’ prediction: Brentford 0-1 West Ham
Jones Knows expects a cagey contest, with under 2.5 goals at 5/4 with Sky Bet his angle. With West Ham playing before Tottenham in the relegation scrap, there’s a clear opportunity to apply pressure on Spurs by avoiding defeat — and the mindset in those situations naturally leans towards control, discipline and avoiding mistakes rather than expansive football. The data backs it up: four of West Ham’s last five away games have gone under 2.5 goals, painting a picture of a team setting up to stay in matches rather than open them up. He’s calling 0-1 to the visitors.
Newcastle United vs Brighton & Hove Albion
Jones Knows’ prediction: Newcastle 1-2 Brighton
Jones Knows pulls together the eye test and the data on Yankuba Minteh, the player Newcastle moved on as part of their financial balancing — a decision that’s looking increasingly questionable. Minteh has scored twice in his last three appearances against his former club, suggesting he relishes the fixture and arrives with a point to prove. The 11/2 with Sky Bet on Minteh to score in a Brighton win is the angle. He notes Elliot Anderson is another Newcastle academy product who slipped through the club’s fingers, calling it “not a great look.” Brighton 2-1 the prediction.
Wolves vs Sunderland
Jones Knows’ prediction: Wolves 1-1 Sunderland
Jones Knows is on the fouls-won market with Granit Xhaka — backable at 10/11 with Sky Bet to be fouled at least twice. He calls Xhaka a wily operator who knows exactly how to use his body, when to invite contact and how to turn pressure into fouls in his favour — an underrated part of his game that consistently shows up in the data. The match-up makes it: Wolves are expected to deploy Joao Gomes and Andre in central midfield, both bringing aggression and intensity as their default setting. He’s calling a 1-1 draw with the foul angle as the standout.
Arsenal vs Fulham
Jones Knows’ prediction: Arsenal 1-0 Fulham
Jones Knows reckons we could see a repeat of last week’s column, when Arsenal to win and under 2.5 goals at 5/2 landed nicely against Newcastle. The conditions look similar — Arsenal need the win in the title race but are also juggling the Atletico Madrid second leg looming. He expects a controlled, professional approach rather than an all-out attacking display: get in front, manage the tempo, keep things tight. Arsenal have shown they can operate that way. He’s calling 1-0 to Arsenal with the Arsenal win and under 2.5 goals double his angle of choice.
Bournemouth vs Crystal Palace
Jones Knows’ prediction: Bournemouth 1-1 Crystal Palace Best bet: The draw at 3/1 with Sky Bet
Jones Knows pushes back hard on the Bournemouth banker narrative — calling the draw at 3/1 with Sky Bet a fantastic bet. The market is pricing Palace as if they’re a relegation-bound side with nothing about them, but they’re organised, stubborn and don’t give much away. The data supports the angle: 18 of the last 49 Premier League games have finished level (37%, comfortably above norm), Bournemouth have drawn six of their last eight games (becoming specialists in not quite getting the job done), and Palace have 10 draws from 33 this season.
Manchester United vs Liverpool
Jones Knows’ prediction: Manchester United 3-2 Liverpool Best bet: Bruno Fernandes to register an assist (6/4 with Sky Bet)
Jones Knows is all-in on Bruno Fernandes’ assist line at 6/4. Fernandes sits on 19 Premier League assists this season — one shy of the all-time single-season record held by Thierry Henry (2002/03) and Kevin De Bruyne (2019/20). Watching him recently, his first instinct in and around the box is to slide passes, pick runners and manufacture chances rather than finish moves himself. At 6/4 you’re getting an elite playmaker with a clear target in sight, pulling the strings at home where he thrives. He’s calling an entertaining 3-2 home win.
Aston Villa vs Tottenham Hotspur
Jones Knows’ prediction: Aston Villa 3-0 Tottenham
Jones Knows opens with the line that if it looks like a relegation season, smells like one and quacks like one, then it’s probably a relegation season — and the footballing gods seem to have made up their mind on Spurs. The 1-0 Wolves win was unconvincing; the West Ham injury-time defeat was cruel; injuries to Xavi Simons (their only creative player in form) and Dominic Solanke compound the problem. Yet the markets still believe in Spurs, which is great news — Villa at 21/20 for the win is “staggering” given Emery has beaten Man City, Arsenal and Man Utd at home this season.
Chelsea vs Nottingham Forest
Jones Knows’ prediction: Chelsea 2-2 Nottingham Forest Best bet: Morgan Gibbs-White to score anytime (100/30 with Sky Bet)
Jones Knows reckons Gibbs-White at 100/30 is too big to ignore. The Forest playmaker is finishing the season like a man on a mission — seven goals in his last seven Premier League appearances, playing with freedom, conviction and end product. With an international summer on the horizon, he’s making a loud case to Thomas Tuchel for inclusion in England’s World Cup squad — the kind of motivation that elevates output. He’s clearly taking on more responsibility in the final third, finding scoring positions and producing sublime quality. Jones Knows tips a 2-2 draw with Gibbs-White on the scoresheet.
Everton vs Manchester City
Jones Knows’ prediction: Everton 0-2 Manchester City
Jones Knows is on Manchester City to win at half-time and full-time at 6/5 with Sky Bet. He calls the data striking: nine goals scored and none conceded in the opening 15 minutes of matches this season, and City have led at half-time 21 times in the league — six more than next-best Arsenal. That gap tells you how consistently they’re getting their noses in front early and staying there. At 6/5 you’re getting a price on a pattern that’s been repeating all season. A 0-2 prediction with City suffocating the game from the off.
