‘Every game still matters!’ – Paul Coyte & Clive Allen make their Premier League predictions

Share post:



The season’s end is in sight – but there’s no shortage of drama. As Premier League sides chase Europe, survival, and respect, Paul Coyte and Clive Allen sat down to share their predictions for a massive weekend of football – plus two tasty FA Cup semi-finals.

Here’s how they see it playing out.

Premier League Fixtures

Chelsea vs Everton

Clive backs Chelsea to keep their European push alive with a cagey 1-0 win.
“Everton are safe and coasting. Chelsea need it more, and I think they’ll edge it.”

Paul’s on a similar page but adds an extra goal – Chelsea to win 2-1.
“We’re disagreeing on everything today – but not by much. Chelsea will take it, just.”

Brighton vs West Ham
Clive sees Brighton as the more motivated side and predicts a 2-1 win.
“West Ham have tailed off badly. Brighton are still chasing Europe – they’ll have just enough.”

Paul goes for a 1-1 draw, calling it a case of “underwhelming meets unpredictable.”
“Brighton haven’t won in weeks, and West Ham are all over the place. 1-1 for me.”

Newcastle vs Ipswich
With Eddie Howe back, Clive’s going for a confident 3-0 win for Newcastle.
“They’re playing for the Champions League – and Ipswich just haven’t had enough quality.”

Paul’s even more bullish, predicting a 4-0 Magpies cruise.
“Howe’s return will lift them, and this will be a walk. 4-0.”

Southampton vs Fulham
Clive expects a flat game with little at stake and predicts a 1-1 draw.
“Southampton players will be playing for pride – and Fulham have been hot and cold.”

Paul didn’t lock in a score but agreed Fulham’s inconsistency leaves it open.
“Fulham? Good side, but you never know which version’s turning up.”

Wolves vs Leicester
Clive sees Wolves’ red-hot form continuing, predicting a 2-0 win.
“Five wins on the bounce for Wolves – they’ll finish strong and Leicester are done.”

Paul agrees on the winner but adds a Leicester consolation, calling it 3-1.
“You know how you start, how you finish. Wolves have got the wind in their sails.”

Bournemouth vs Manchester United
Both Clive and Paul sense another United slip-up. Clive sees Bournemouth edging it 2-1.
“Bournemouth have snapped out of their slump – United just don’t look right.”

Paul’s even firmer, predicting a 2-0 win for the Cherries.
“Apart from that crazy Europa night, United have looked flat. Bournemouth will do them.”

Liverpool vs Tottenham
Clive’s giving Spurs a goal, but not much more – 3-1 to Liverpool.
“Tottenham might nick one, but Liverpool will want to put on a show at Anfield.”

Paul, reluctantly, sees a clean sweep for the Reds with a 3-0 win.
“I hate going against Spurs, but with changes expected… this could be a long day.”

FA Cup Semi-Finals

Crystal Palace vs Aston Villa

Clive Allen believes his former side have one big Wembley moment in them, tipping a 2-1 win for Palace.
“I just think this might be a semi-final with a little surprise – I’m going for my old club Crystal Palace.”

Paul Coyte is going with Villa’s form and composure to shine through, predicting a 0-2 victory.
“Villa have shown their strength lately. I think they’ll get it done at Wembley.”

Nottingham Forest vs Manchester City

Clive sticks with his City hunch from the start of the tournament, expecting a tight 1-2 win.
“City always find a way to win games at this stage – they’ve hit that gear again.”

Paul agrees, but thinks City will keep Forest at bay entirely, calling a 0-2 result.
“Forest just won’t be able to live with them. 0-2 for me.”
