With the FA Cup taking over the weekend, the Premier League schedule for Matchweek 26 will be on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday.
Fortunately, the quick turnaround isn’t going to stop us from making Premier League predictions.
Here are three picks that I like for the midweek Premier League games.
Premier League Predictions: Matchweek 26
All soccer odds used for these EPL Matchweek 26 predictions are current as of Monday, Feb. 9, and courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook.
Tottenham vs Newcastle: Draw (+250)
Not only is there value in betting on a draw in this match, but it’s hard to get behind either of these teams at the moment, so splitting the points seems like the most reasonable outcome.
Newcastle is in a deep slump, with just one win in its last nine matches across all competitions, including four losses in its last five matches.
Of course, everyone is aware of Tottenham’s struggles this season, which include four draws in the team’s last seven Premier League games.
On paper, this game feels like a potential slump buster for both sides, though we could easily see a repeat of the 2-2 stalemate these teams played in December.

Everton vs Bournemouth: Draw (+240)
This might look like a mid-table clash, but both teams are in play for a European spot, especially Everton, which sits just two points off sixth place.
The Toffees are unbeaten in their last six matches across all competitions, although they’ve had to settle for four draws during that span because they’ve struggled to score multiple goals.

Likewise, Bournemouth is unbeaten in six straight, with the Cherries drawing seven of their last 12 matches.
This game looks destined to be close and competitive, with the two sides ultimately sharing the points.
Sunderland: Win or Draw (+105) vs Liverpool
I’m hedging a little with this bet rather than taking Sunderland’s moneyline at +360, but the Black Cats getting a result against Liverpool is my soccer bet of the day.
Sunderland is unbeaten at home in the Premier League this season, with seven wins and five draws.
That record at the Stadium of Light includes draws with Arsenal, Manchester City, and Aston Villa.
Liverpool isn’t at the level of those teams, and the Reds are winless in their last three Premier League road matches, which is why I expect Sunderland to get at least a draw, if not a win.
