We\u2019re back for another week of Premier League predictions, following a two-week hiatus \u2013 this time, we\u2019ll be taking on one of the greatest legends in the history of the division.<\/strong><\/p>\n Teddy Sheringham<\/a> will be joining us this week \u2013 one of the greatest strikers in the Premier League era, he turned out for massive clubs such as Manchester United<\/a>Tottenham Hotspur and Nottingham Forest over the course of his glittering career.<\/p>\n With Teddy in tow, we\u2019ll be doing things a bit differently this week. Four Premier League teams \u2013 West Ham United, Leeds United, Nottingham Forest and Tottenham \u2013 are all battling it out to avoid relegation. Wolves and Burnley look to be dead and buried, but this quartet are still fighting.<\/p>\n As always, it is five points for a correct result and ten points for a correct score. As we\u2019re only predicting four games, a maximum of 40 points are up for grabs between us and Sheringham. <\/p>\n Teddy Sheringham:<\/strong> A lot of West Ham people have already claimed the three points, but it\u2019s not as easy as that. You only have to look at Arsenal going to Wolves and not getting the result everyone expected.<\/p>\n Wolves will go there with intent. The manager will want to build on recent performances and prepare for next season, and the players will feel that as well. So I expect West Ham to win, but not as comfortably as people think.<\/p>\n Sheringham\u2019s Prediction:<\/strong> West Ham 2-1 Wolves<\/p>\n Essential Football:<\/strong> This is a must win game for West Ham \u2013 as such, in true West Ham fashion, we think they\u2019ll fail to pick up the three points. We also wouldn\u2019t be surprised if Wolves enjoy plenty of success for prolonged periods. <\/p>\n With that being said, West Ham certainly have the ability to hurt their opponents in this one. It\u2019s unlikely that they will be able to shut them out \u2013 especially so at home, which has been a consistent issue for the Irons in 2025\/26.<\/p>\n Both sides have some excellent attacking players, but struggle manfully in the defensive third \u2013 a high-scoring draw seems like the most probable outcome to us. <\/p>\n EF\u2019s Prediction:<\/strong> West Ham 2-2 Wolves<\/p>\n Teddy Sheringham:<\/strong> Still a tough game. I like Unai Emery as a manager \u2013 he\u2019s done very well and he\u2019ll get his team competing and battling for every point. I also like the Forest manager, Pereira. He\u2019s done a great job with what he\u2019s got, and they all understand how they need to play. <\/p>\n They look as good a unit as any of the bottom four \u2013 they know what they\u2019re doing and look coherent as a team. At Forest, I think they\u2019ll be hopeful of winning, as long as they can score goals. <\/p>\n They\u2019re missing (Chris) Wood up front and (are) struggling to score. They need someone to step up. They\u2019re solid at the back and in midfield, but they just can\u2019t score at the moment. <\/p>\n Sheringham\u2019s Prediction:<\/strong> Nottingham Forest 2-0 Aston Villa<\/p>\n Essential Football:<\/strong> Nottingham Forest have looked like a much improved outfit since Vitor Pereira arrived at the club. They have maintained the defensive unity instilled in them by Sean Dyche \u2013 now, they are starting to find the back of the net again.<\/p>\n They thumped Spurs by a score of 3-0 in their last game \u2013 Aston Villa won\u2019t roll over quite so easily, though. Both teams have a Europa League quarter-final to contend with before this game takes place, so they\u2019ll both be somewhat fatigued.<\/p>\n In cases such as this, a 1-1 draw seems to be the most sensible prediction. Forest might be strong at the back, but Villa have some dangerous attacking players who can pick out the gaps. <\/p>\n EF\u2019s Prediction:<\/strong> Nottingham Forest 1-1 Aston Villa<\/p>\n \n <\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" We\u2019re back for another week of Premier League predictions, following a two-week hiatus \u2013 this<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1495,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pagelayer_contact_templates":[],"_pagelayer_content":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1494","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-arsenal"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/disport.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1494","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/disport.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/disport.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/disport.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/disport.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1494"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/disport.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1494\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/disport.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/1495"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/disport.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1494"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/disport.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1494"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/disport.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1494"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}West Ham United vs Wolves<\/h2>\n
