Brian McClair's Premier League Picks

• Brian McClair's Panel Pick 1: Nottingham Forest 1-2 Liverpool - 13/2 with Bet442
• Brian McClair's Panel Pick 2: Arsenal 3-1 Tottenham - 17/2 with Bet442

Throughout the season, Manchester United and Celtic legend Brian McClair will be giving his predictions for every Premier League game.

In four seasons at Celtic, McClair made 471 appearances in all competitions and scored 127 goals, securing the Scottish Premier League and Scottish FA Cup while finishing as top-scorer for the Hoops on four occasions.

His prolific goalscoring record quickly attracted the attention of clubs south of the border and in 1987, McClair became Alex Ferguson's first signing at Manchester United, going on to win four Premier League titles, two FA Cups and the European Cup Winners' Cup in his 11 years at Old Trafford.

Brian joins The Panel for the 2024/25 Premier League season to pass expert judgement and give his score predictions for all of the games whilst The Panel examine the football betting sites to find the best odds.

Watch him discuss the games below and keep an eye on how Brian and The Panel get on each week throughout the season.

Nottingham Forest Vs Liverpool, Tuesday, 8pm

Nottingham Forest host Liverpool in a huge Premier League clash at the City Ground on Tuesday night.

Forest remain the only team to beat the Reds this season, securing a 1-0 victory at Anfield in September. 

Nuno Espirito Santo’s side sits second in the league and could bolster their title hopes with another win against Liverpool.

The Reds, meanwhile, were recently held to a 2-2 draw by Manchester United in the league, followed by a Carabao Cup defeat to Tottenham. 

They bounced back at the weekend with an FA Cup win over Accrington Stanley, but this will be a much sterner test, though they are 4/6 favourites with betting apps to win the game.

Brian says: “Until a 1-0 win last season, Liverpool had gone 13 games without a win at the City Ground. 

“Arne Slot's side have the best away record in the Premier League this season and are unbeaten in nine with two draws and seven wins.

“Forest haven’t done the double over Liverpool since back in 1963, but I don’t see that happening here and I predict Liverpool to win the game narrowly.”

Brian McClair's Panel Pick 1: Nottingham Forest 1-2 Liverpool - 13/2 with Bet442

Arsenal Vs Tottenham, Wednesday, 8pm

Arsenal face Tottenham in a crucial north London clash as both teams look to recover from recent struggles.

The Gunners suffered heartbreak over the weekend, going out of the FA Cup in the third round after losing to Manchester United on penalties.

Mikel Arteta’s side will now be looking to bounce back against their old rivals as they aim to close the gap on league leaders Liverpool.

Tottenham narrowly avoided embarrassment in the FA Cup, needing extra time to secure a 3-0 win over National League side Tamworth. 

Ange Postecoglou’s men have struggled for consistency this season and are desperate to kick off 2025 with a statement victory and both sides will see this derby as a chance to reignite their seasons.

Matches between the Gunners and Spurs are always special occasions and the game on Wednesday should be no exception, but the big question is are you Red or White?

Brian says: “Spurs have won just one of their last 31 trips to Arsenal, drawing 12 and losing 18. 

"They have also conceded a goal in their last 25 away games in the Premier League.

“Arsenal are the only team to not lose at home in the Premier League this season, winning six and drawing three and have not conceded in their last four.

“I think Tottenham might sneak one, but Arsenal will score three.”
