€1,000 is up for grabs if you predict all matches correctly!

We're into the business end of the Premier League season, with another 10 Predictor games for you to get stuck into this matchweek.

JOE's Win-Lose-Draw Premier League predictor is FREE to play and simple - predict the result of 10 Premier League games, and if you get them right, you win a share of €1,000! Even if you don't get them right, and nobody gets full marks, you could be in with a chance of winning the jackpot anyway.

Our Prediction stats so far are painting a picture of one or two bankers - namely Arsenal against Burnley - but several coin-flips as the action reaches a crescendo at the top and bottom of the Premier League.

For Friday's opener, so far 47.5% of people think Liverpool beat Aston Villa, who will surely be looking ahead to Wednesday's Europa League final, with 35.1% predicting a draw and just 17.4% predicting a Villa win.

Concerning the bottom of the table, Predictors are split on Newcastle v West Ham, with 35% predicting the home side, and 35% predicting the away side. But Hammers fans will be encouraged that the majority of fans (85%) don't see Spurs getting a victory at Chelsea on Tuesday.

At the top of the table, Arsenal have 91.3% backing them to beat relegated Burnley at home and put one hand on the Premier League trophy.

But Man City are also being heavily backed at in-form Bournemouth, with 85.9% backing the away win, and only 3.6% backing the Cherries, despite their superb charge towards the Champions League spots, and being unbeaten in 16 league games.

A whopping 83.0% think Man Utd see off Nottingham Forest on Sunday, while Brentford (62.0% to beat Palace at home), Everton (58.7% to beat Sunderland at home) and Fulham (68.8% to beat Wolves away) also heavily backed.

Elsewhere, in-form Brighton (42.8%) are being backed to beat Leeds at Elland Road.

How to win the prize

The total weekly prize pool is €1,000 for winners residing in the Republic of Ireland, or £1,000 for winners residing in the United Kingdom.

Any entrant who correctly predicts the outcome of all active fixtures in a Gameweek wins the prize.

If more than one entrant correctly predicts all fixtures in the same Gameweek, the prize pool will be split equally among the winning entrants. (For example, if there is one UK winner and one ROI winner, they will receive £500 and €500 respectively).

In the event that nobody correctly predicts all fixtures in a given Gameweek, every eligible user who submitted an entry for that Gameweek will automatically be placed into a random digital prize draw. One winner will be drawn at random to win the full prize.

The method of selection will be decided by the JOE social team, and could involve reaching out by phone, email or social media messages. If a prize is not redeemed in the set timeframe, JOE can move the prize on.

18+. One entry per person per game week. Prize pools, thresholds and scoring can change between seasons — the latest rules always live on this page. Read full terms and conditions.
