Gameweek 26 of the Premier League kicks off on Tuesday with a handful of intriguing fixtures that could shake up the mid‑table and the top 4 places battles. Chelsea host Leeds United at Stamford Bridge looking to build on solid recent form and continue their strong home record against the Yorkshire side.

Everton welcome Bournemouth in a clash that could hinge on aerial duels and second‑half goals given recent trends between these teams. Tottenham Hotspur take on Newcastle United in what has been dubbed a desperation derby, with both sides seeking confidence‑boosting points after poor runs of form.

The evening ends at London's Stratford area where West Ham United face Manchester United at the London Stadium. The Hammers will aim to extend their recent upturn, while the visitors will look to maintain their push up the table.

Chelsea vs Leeds

Tip 1: Joao Pedro - Anytime Goalscorer - 1pt

Best odds of 7/5 at Betway while publishing.

João Pedro has been in sensational form for Chelsea, particularly at Stamford Bridge, where he has scored three times in his last four appearances. Across his last five games, he has added two FPL assists and even earned a penalty against Wolves, showing his ability to influence big moments.

This season he has taken 38 shots with 47% on target, averaging almost two attempts per 90 minutes. With Leeds conceding 10 goals in their last four trips to Stamford Bridge and over two per away game, João Pedro looks perfectly positioned to find the net again.

Everton vs Bournemouth

Tip 2: Thierno Barry - Anytime Goalscorer - 1pt

Best odds of 19/10 at Coral while publishing.

Thierno Barry has been on a real hot streak since breaking into Everton’s first team over the festive period, netting four goals in his last seven matches. Bournemouth’s leaky defence has allowed 30 goals this season, with nearly half coming from open play, making them vulnerable to incisive attackers like Barry.

At Goodison Park, where Everton aim to dominate, his pace and finishing could easily extend his scoring run against the struggling Cherries.

Tottenham vs Newcastle

Tip 3: Dominic Solanke - Anytime Goalscorer - 1pt

Best odds of 2/1 at Betway while publishing.

Dominic Solanke impressed with a brilliant brace against Manchester City at home, though he was left frustrated in the following game against Manchester United after Romero’s red card disrupted proceedings. He has a strong record against Newcastle, scoring in consecutive games in his last two encounters with the Magpies.

Despite limited minutes this season, his partnership with Simons showed real promise against City, and with Newcastle struggling defensively and lacking confidence, Solanke could very well make an impact once again.

West Ham vs Manchester United

Tip 4: Bryan Mbuemo - Anytime Goalscorer - 1pt

Best odds of 7/5 at QuinnBet while publishing.

Bryan Mbuemo has been unstoppable in recent weeks, scoring three times in four games since his return from AFCON. He's showcasing the kind of form that makes him a key threat in front of goal. His movement, combined with Cunha’s clever runs and Bruno’s playmaking intelligence, has made Manchester United increasingly dangerous offensively.

Historically, Mbuemo has a great record against West Ham, remaining unbeaten in eight career encounters with six wins and two draws. In those games, he has contributed directly with four goals and one assist, highlighting his ability to perform against this opposition. With momentum on his side and a favourable history against the Hammers, Mbuemo is a strong candidate to find the net again in this fixture.
