It’s gameweek two of the Premier League, and Sunday’s football accumulator tips for 24 August 2025 are live. We’ve got three cracking games to look forward to and a ton of value in the betting markets to exploit.
We start with Crystal Palace vs Nottingham Forest in the two o’clock kick-off. Both teams will be pleased with their start; Palace almost took all three points from Club World Cup winners Chelsea, while Forest romped to a 3-1 win over Brentford.
The second game of our triple-header takes us to the Hill Dickinson Stadium, where Everton host Brighton. It’s the first game at their new home for the Toffees, and they’ll be looking to bounce back after a disappointing 1-0 defeat to Leeds on Monday night.
A trip to the capital awaits Rúben Amorim’s Manchester United as they take on a Fulham side that grafted hard for a point on the south coast against Brighton. For the Red Devils, there was a lot to be optimistic about from their 1-0 defeat to Arsenal, regardless of the result.
Our football accumulator tips for Sunday are paying a tidy £51.81 from just a tenner at bet365, which is packed with value as we look to go back-to-back following last Sunday’s 4/1 winner.

Bet 1: Crystal Palace vs Nottingham Forest – Under 2.5 Goals – 8/11
Palace boss Oliver Glasner cut a frustrated figure in his pre-match presser for the Conference League qualifier with Fredrikstad, as he realised that life without Eberechi Eze was upon the team sooner than he had anticipated.
The Englishman has been subject to a move away from Selhurst Park for most of the summer, and it appears that Arsenal have won the race, completing a deal worth around £67 million.
It’s a massive blow to Glasner and his hopes to kick on from a respectable, but ultimately predictable, 12th-place finish last season. It will also, no doubt, have a significant impact on their output, with the Englishman's 16 goal contributions to replace.
Forest haven’t exactly gone under the radar themselves this week after an impressive 3-1 victory over Brentford on Saturday. A quite stunning claim from manager Nuno Espírito Santo suggests there are factions between himself and the board, stating that his relationship with the Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis was “not so good as it was [last season]”.
It’s distractions that both clubs could have done without heading into Sunday’s game, albeit in Forest’s case, very much self-inflicted.
Crystal Palace earned every bit of their point at Stamford Bridge. They were well organised, dangerous on the counter, and almost won it had it not been for an infringement from the wall before Eze’s freekick hit top bins.
We’re concerned about where the goals will come from this season. So much of their attacking play ran through Eze, and it was clear on Thursday night that they struggled to create. Even though they dominated possession and chances, they made very little that looked like scoring.
Defensively, Forest have been excellent over the last 12 months. They conceded the joint-fifth lowest goals in 2024/25 (46) and have retained the core of Sels, Murillo and Milenković, which served them so well.
This could be a cagey game, and even though Forest bagged three at the weekend, their expected goals (xG) were only 1.8, which shows a big overperformance in that metric.
Under 2.5 goals is the play. The head-to-head record alone shows the last six Premier League meetings between the sides have been under 2.5 goals, and in the previous 26 meetings, these games have averaged just 2.35 goals.
Value play: Under 2.5 Goals at 8/11
Bet 2: Everton vs Brighton – Under 2.5 Goals – 4/5
It’s the start of a new era at Everton as they leave Goodison Park, where they first played in 1892. They’ve made the move to Bramley-Moore Dock in what looks like a stunning build and one that any Premier League club would be proud to call home.
On the pitch, it’s been a tough start for David Moyes’ side. Their problems of not scoring from last season (41.8 xG and 46.2 xGA) reared their ugly head on Monday Night Football as they lost 1-0 to newly promoted Leeds United.
Jack Grealish coming in on loan will improve those metrics. But it will take time for him to adjust from a system that Pep Guardiola drilled into him in his time at Manchester City to one that can be more fluid and progressive, which Everton so desperately needs.
Brighton, on the other hand, have turned into an organised, press-conscious machine under Fabian Hürzeler; quite the contrast from his predecessor. He may be the youngest manager in the Premier League, but he’s wise beyond his years and emphasised structure and counter-pressing triggers on the road.
The head-to-head record also stacks up, with three of the last four meetings hitting the under 2.5 total goals mark.
Atmosphere will be at fever pitch, but for David Moyes and his Everton team, it’s a must-not-lose, rather than must-win. Defeat would be a sour start to life at the Hill Dickinson Stadium, and we’re backing a cagey affair and the under 2.5 goals as a result.
Value play: Under 2.5 Goals at 4/5
Bet 3: Fulham vs Manchester United – BTTS Yes – 4/6
It might only be gameweek two of the Premier League season, but this already feels like a big game for Rúben Amorim at Manchester United.
They’ve splashed the cash in the summer, spending north of £200 million on a new front line. It’s not a secret that it was highly needed, scoring just 44 goals last season; only the three relegated teams and Everton scored fewer.
Admittedly, there were reasons to be cheerful in the 1-0 defeat to Arsenal on Sunday. They were the better team for a large part of the game and outperformed their opponents 1.52 to 1.31 in xG. But the reality was that they were still unable to convert the chances, and that’s now 15 defeats from 28 games in the Premier League since he took charge.
For Fulham, it’ll be another season of trying to break into the top half of the league. Marco Silva is doing an impressive job at Craven Cottage, all things considered, and they looked superb in the opening 30 minutes of their 1-1 draw against Brighton.
João Palhinha's move to Bayern Munich is a significant loss in the middle of the park. His exit will allow Emile Smith Rowe to play a more attacking role, and this will improve metrics like ball progression and shot creation, pushing his team into more advanced areas of the pitch.
Large parts of the game will be very open as Amorim shifts his model between a 4-2-3-1 and 3-2-5 in possession, and there will be chances for both teams. Last season, they both hit the 58% mark for BTTS Yes stats (Home for Fulham and away for Man United). Both teams have added quality in their forward line, making the 4/6 price for BTTS Yes, the final value bet as part of our Sunday football accumulator tips.
Value play: BTTS Yes at 4/6
