We take a look at all three Premier League fixtures on Tuesday, beginning on the South Coast where Bournemouth look to protect their unbeaten home record against an inconsistent Everton side. Fulham then return to Craven Cottage hoping their strong home form can test a Manchester City team that has struggled away from home. The evening concludes at St James’ Park, where an energized Newcastle host a Spurs outfit far more convincing on their travels than in London.
Before diving into this week’s action, here’s an overview of the title landscape: Arsenal remain out in front at 1/2, with Manchester City the nearest challengers at 3/1. Chelsea sit further back at 14/1, and last season’s champions Liverpool are currently listed at 16/1. Every other side is available from 45/1 or greater.

BOURNEMOUTH v EVERTON – Click here to bet
Bournemouth return to league action on Tuesday looking to shake off the disappointment of Saturday’s 3–2 defeat away to Sunderland. Despite racing into a 2–0 lead inside the opening quarter of an hour, the Cherries left the Stadium of Light empty-handed after conceding three unanswered goals, a result that will undoubtedly sting given how comfortably they started the game. It marked only their fourth league loss of the season, and they enter Week 14 sitting 11th with 19 points from 13 matches (W5 D4 L4).
Back on home soil, Andoni Iraola’s side will be keen to respond and restore the solidity they’ve shown at the Vitality Stadium all campaign. Bournemouth remain unbeaten at home in the league (W4 D2), collecting 14 points from a possible 18. They’ve scored 10 and conceded just four in those matches, an excellent return, with their most recent outing ending in a lively 2–2 draw against West Ham. Given their strong home numbers and sharp attacking play, they’ll feel confident about re-establishing momentum.
Everton, meanwhile, travel south for what looks a tricky assignment for David Moyes and his team. After a gritty 1–0 win away at Manchester United last Monday, the Toffees were brought back down to earth at the weekend, falling to a heavy 4–1 defeat at home to Newcastle, only their second home league loss of the season. They arrive in 14th place on 18 points (W5 D3 L5), still searching for consistency as we edge deeper into the campaign.
On their travels, Everton have shown some signs of improvement, unbeaten in their last two away matches and picking up four points in that run, a 1-1 draw at Sunderland followed by last week’s impressive 1–0 win at Old Trafford, which also delivered their first clean sheet on the road this season. Overall, the Toffees have claimed seven points from 18 away from home (W2 D1 L3), but lapses at both ends continue to hold them back.
Head-to-Head
Bournemouth have enjoyed a strong recent record against Everton, winning each of the last four competitive meetings. That sequence includes last season’s league double, a 3–2 win away to the Toffees followed by a 1–0 victory in this corresponding fixture.
Betting
Bournemouth 23/20
Draw 9/4
Everton 53/20
Verdict
Everton may come into Tuesday’s game unbeaten in their last two away trips, but their collapse against Newcastle raises real concerns about their defensive stability. Bournemouth, by contrast, have been excellent at the Vitality this season and generally produce high-energy, entertaining performances. With their strong home form and favourable head-to-head record, I like their chances of bouncing back and keeping that unbeaten home run intact.
Suggested Bet: Bournemouth to win at 23/20
FULHAM v MANCHESTER CITY – Click here to bet
Fulham return to Craven Cottage on Tuesday evening aiming to build on their morale-boosting 2–1 victory away to Spurs over the weekend, their first league win on the road this season. That result eased some of the pressure at the lower end of the table and lifted Marco Silva’s side to 15th with 17 points from 13 matches (W5 D2 L6).
At home, Fulham have been far more reliable. The Cottagers have lost just once at Craven Cottage this campaign, scoring nine and conceding only three. With four wins, one draw and one defeat on home soil, and back-to-back clean sheets in their last two league matches here, Silva’s men will feel they can at least make this a difficult evening for the men in sky blue.
Manchester City arrive in London looking to re-establish momentum after a shaky spell. Pep Guardiola’s side came into Saturday’s meeting with Leeds on the back of successive defeats, and while they led 2–0 at half-time, they were pegged back to 2–2 before Phil Foden’s injury-time winner secured a dramatic 3–2 victory. City sit 2nd in the table with 25 points from 13 matches (W8 D1 L4), but questions around their consistency remain.
Away from home, City have not convinced this season. Guardiola’s side have taken just seven points from a possible 18 on the road (W2 D1 L3), and come into this one having suffered consecutive away league defeats to Aston Villa and Newcastle.
Head-to-Head
City’s record in this matchup is extraordinary, they have won each of the last 18 competitive meetings. Last season brought a 3–2 win at the Etihad and a 2–0 victory at Craven Cottage.
Betting
Fulham 15/4
Draw 13/4
Manchester City 67/100
Verdict
City’s dominance in this fixture speaks for itself, but their away form this season doesn’t justify the short price on offer. Fulham have been excellent at Craven Cottage and look well organized defensively, so this could be tighter than the odds suggest. I’m not ruling out City leaving with a positive result, but the value lies in a more cautious angle, especially given how low-scoring their recent trips here have been.
Suggested Bet: Manchester City Double Chance (Win or Draw) & Under 3.5 Goals at 87/100
NEWCASTLE UNITED v TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR – Click here to bet
We close out Tuesday’s fixtures with a trip to St James’ Park, where Newcastle United welcome Tottenham Hotspur. The Magpies arrive in upbeat mood after dismantling Everton 4–1 at Hill Dickinson over the weekend. Eddie Howe’s side flew into a 3–0 lead before half-time, added a fourth after the break, and looked far sharper than they did in their disappointing 2–1 defeat to Marseille in Europe just prior to that fixture. The result lifted Newcastle to 13th place with 18 points from 13 matches (W5 D3 L5).
At home, Newcastle have been strong. Howe’s men have taken 12 points from a possible 18 on Tyneside, winning four and losing two. With 10 goals scored and seven conceded at St James’ Park, their matches here have often been lively affairs, at least three goals have been scored in four of their six home league outings this season.
Tottenham enter Round 14 under a bit of pressure after a 2–1 defeat at home to Fulham, a result that extended their frustrating run at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. It was their fourth home league loss of the campaign, leaving them 12th with 18 points (W5 D3 L5), sitting just above Newcastle on goal difference.
Away from home, however, Spurs have looked a different proposition entirely. Thomas Frank’s side have collected an impressive 13 points from a possible 18 on their travels (W4 D1 L1). Their only away defeat came last time out, a 4–1 loss to league leaders Arsenal at the Emirates , a harsh scoreline, but one that underlines there’s still plenty of work ahead if they’re to consistently compete with the league’s elite.
Head-to-Head
Newcastle have dominated this fixture recently. They completed a league double over Spurs last season and also won 2–0 at St James’ Park earlier this season in the EFL Cup. In total, the Magpies have won each of the last four competitive meetings between the sides.
Betting
Newcastle United 73/100
Draw 3/1
Tottenham Hotspur 7/2
Verdict
Spurs’ away record deserves respect, but this feels like a tough spot for them. Newcastle look energized again, and St James’ Park will be bouncing after the Everton win. Given their control of this fixture in recent meetings and the confidence they tend to show at home, the edge lies firmly with the hosts.
Suggested Bet: Newcastle United to win at 73/100
