Round 17 of the 2025/26 Premier League unfolds amid a packed festive calendar, promising notable changes in the standings. After Round 16, Arsenal temporarily took the lead with a late victory over Wolves, but Manchester City quickly answered with a convincing display at Crystal Palace. This head-to-head battle is expected to last at least until Christmas.
According to Opta’s supercomputer forecast, Man City has the highest chance of winning this round (76.3%) as they host West Ham at Etihad. Both historical data and home form favor Pep Guardiola’s team, while West Ham struggles near the bottom and risks spending Christmas in the relegation zone if they continue to lose.
Arsenal is also highly rated for their away match at Everton, with a winning probability of 60.4% – the highest among away teams this round. If they secure all three points, the "Gunners" are likely to top the table by Christmas, although history suggests they often fail to hold this position through the season’s end.
Among the chasing teams, Aston Villa is emerging as a strong contender. Unai Emery’s side is just three points behind the leader and is favored by Opta (57.2%) at home against Manchester United. Villa has an impressive home winning streak, while MU continues to show a major weakness in maintaining leads, having dropped too many points after being ahead.
Another key match is the contest between Tottenham and Liverpool. Spurs have clearly declined, winning only once in their last seven games, while Liverpool shows signs of revival. With a 42.2% chance of winning, the visitors are slightly favored in this fixture, which is known as one of the highest-scoring rivalries in Premier League history.
In the mid-table, Newcastle vs Chelsea is a balanced match as both teams lack consistency. Although Newcastle is predicted to have a higher winning chance, their defense keeps conceding goals, making it hard to feel confident. Meanwhile, Chelsea has shown significant defensive solidity on the road recently.
The relegation battle is also intense. Wolves are almost certain to be bottom by Christmas and are again rated low against Brentford. Meanwhile, Fulham vs Nottingham Forest is considered the most likely draw of Round 17, as neither team stands out and both aim to safely accumulate points.
