2025/26 Premier League GW7 odds & predictions: Bets we'd make now

• Milos Kerkez to be kept busy in Chelsea vs Liverpool

• Sunderland to score first at Old Trafford

• Erling Haaland to continue his goalscoring streak

After a typically entertaining start to the season, Ladbrokes runs through some Premier League GW7 odds & predictions. We're taking into account things we learned from the latest weekend of Premier League action, and highlighting bets we'd be snapping up before the next round of fixtures.

The Premier League is treating us to some blockbusters this weekend, from a Saturday-evening clash between Chelsea and Liverpool to a crucial match between Man United and Sunderland at Old Trafford, with intriguing stories emerging and the table starting to take shape. This weekend is sure to be another unmissable one - so here are some odds & predictions, plus a handful of the bets we'd make now ahead of GW7.

After that dramatic late victory at Newcastle last week, Arsenal became favourites to win the Premier League for the first time this season - and we're expecting the feel-good factor to continue with a dominant display against Nuno's West Ham at the Emirates.

The Hammers secured a decent point away at Everton on Monday night, but Arsenal's squad depth and firepower could prove far too strong for the visitors, with Ladbrokes tipping the Gunners to score over 2.5 goals. With Bukayo Saka back, Gyokeres playing well and Eberechi Eze really finding his feet, Arsenal's frontline looks formidable, and even Nuno's defensive setup will struggle to stop them running riot against West Ham here.

One of the things we learned from last weekend's Premier League action is that Sunderland are certainly not just here to make up the numbers, with an impressive 1-0 win at Nottingham Forest showing a solidity that newly promoted teams often lack after coming up from the Championship.

They face the once-daunting trip to Old Trafford on Saturday, and while they haven't won at the Theatre of Dreams since 2014, the Black Cats will be confident of piling further pressure on Ruben Amorim. Unbeaten in their last two on the road, Sunderland will come out of the blocks flying against Manchester United, and we're backing them to score first this weekend.

United have been decent at home so far, winning the last two, but they look so soft defensively. Sunderland will cause them real problems, and while they may not go on to win, we can see the visitors opening the scoring.

The game of the weekend undoubtedly comes from Stamford Bridge, with Chelsea hosting a Liverpool side in need of a huge reaction following two defeats in the space of four days. Chelsea haven't been overly impressive this season, but a Champions League win in midweek has lifted the mood, and they'll be ready to welcome the champions.

In the Liverpool backline, Milos Kerkez is likely to keep his place at left back, and we're backing him to put in a strong performance against Chelsea's right winger - whether it's Pedro Neto, Alejandro Garnacho, Estevao or any one of the Blues' wide options. Kerkez is known for his effectiveness going forward, but we're expecting a stern defensive display from the Hungarian with 2+ tackles, as Liverpool look to set their form straight before the international break.

Erling Haaland has started the season in typical Erling Haaland fashion, scoring eight goals in Man City's opening six games and firmly cementing his place as the favourite to win the 2025/26 Golden Boot - with his goalscoring streak tipped to continue in Brentford vs Man City.

Despite Brentford's good recent home form, with the Bees undefeated at the Gtech this season, we're predicting that Man City will be too tough to stop - with the attacks being led by Erling Haaland. It seems almost inevitable that Haaland will score for the fifth consecutive league game, with the big Norwegian finding the net in each of his last eight matches for club and country.

City look somewhere close to their best again, so Ladbrokes is backing Pep Guardiola's team to win with Erling Haaland once again getting on the scoresheet.

Allow us to introduce you to one of Ladbrokes' Premier League special bets, with the bookies giving you the chance to back Andoni Iraola's Cherries to finish above Manchester United - and looking at the form of both teams right now, this one seems like excellent value.

Of all the things we learned last weekend, one is that Man United will continuously fall into old habits, conceding sloppy goals and dropping far too many points. With that in mind - and the fact that Bournemouth are already eight places above Ruben Amorim's Red Devils - Ladbrokes is tipping the Cherries to finish above United at the end of the season, even if Ruben Amorim does lose his job.

A busy transfer window doesn't seem to have fixed United, and despite Bournemouth losing numerous players in the summer, they still look significantly stronger than the 13-time Premier League champions.

That wraps up our look at the 2025/26 Premier League odds & GW7 predictions. Based on things we learned last weekend, we've picked out a few of the bets we’d be making ahead of another action-packed set of PL fixtures.
