SATURDAY:
Tottenham 2-3 Manchester City – A contest that usually provides plenty of goals, this could be one to watch again this weekend, with Manchester City in fine form and surely having too much in their attack for Spurs to deal with, if Raheem Sterling, Kevin De Bruyne and co. gel properly.
Leicester 1-2 Arsenal – Although the home side are in tremendous form so far this season, one feels it surely can’t last. Arsenal got back to winning ways against Tottenham in midweek and could just about grind out a result at the King Power Stadium.
Liverpool 2-0 Aston Villa – Neither of these sides are at their best at the moment, but Liverpool have enough quality to punish Villa’s slack defending under Tim Sherwood, with Daniel Sturridge sure to get among the goals soon enough after returning to first-team action.
Manchester United 4-0 Sunderland – The way Louis van Gaal’s side are playing right now, this could be a walkover against struggling Sunderland, who will surely not be able to deal with the likes of Memphis Depay and Anthony Martial if they hit top form at Old Trafford.
Southampton 1-1 Swansea – A hard game to call for two teams who are yet to win in their last two Premier League outings, so a low-level score draw seems just about right for the two mid-table challengers.
Stoke 1-0 Bournemouth – Stoke City haven’t quite got going yet this season and should have it in them to get points on the board when they host newly-promoted Bournemouth at the Britannia Stadium.
West Ham 3-1 Norwich – West Ham have been mainly giant killers this season, failing to do the business against the so-called ‘lesser’ sides, but will be looking to rectify that this weekend and should have enough in them to get all three points against Norwich.
Newcastle 1-1 Chelsea – This is a difficult ground for Chelsea in recent times, and although they probably won’t lose, it seems likely the Blues could be held to a draw against Newcastle this weekend, though the Magpies will have to significantly improve on their recent displays.
SUNDAY:
Watford 0-1 Crystal Palace – A London derby that could make good viewing, Crystal Palace will be the clear favourites to win this one, and we’re tipping them to do so by the odd goal in our Premier League predictions.
MONDAY:
West Brom 2-2 Everton – Two sides perfectly capable of winning this game, but an end-to-end draw seems likely for West Brom and Everton, neither of whom are at top form so far this season.
