Premier League Predictions: Mark O’Haire backs first win for a promoted team

Arsenal vs Brighton 

Arsenal boast a remarkable 77% Premier League win rate at Emirates Stadium since the start of 2022/23 (W30-D5-L4) and the Gunners will be eager to enhance that impressive effort against a Brighton side that’s mirrored their 100% start to the new season. Albion are capable of causing problems but look likely to fall short in the capital.

Correct Score: 2-1

Brentford vs Southampton 

Brentford are back at the Community Stadium on Saturday and look well worth backing when welcoming newly-promoted Southampton to the capital.

The Bees have been beaten only nine times in their past 39 top-flight home tussles and should have the measure for a Saints side that’s fired successive blanks since returning to the EPL.

Correct Score: 2-0

Everton vs Bournemouth 

Everton have endured a horrendous start to the season with the pressure already mounting on Sean Dyche. The Toffees hope to arrest their concerning form when Bournemouth arrive at Goodison Park – the Merseysiders should be able to get off the mark here – the Cherries have won just six of 20 away days under Andoni Iraola.  

Correct Score: 1-1

Ipswich vs Fulham 

Ipswich were given a terrifying baptism of fire to life back in the Premier League with back-to-back matches against Liverpool and Manchester City – a Portman Road meeting with Fulham is much more palatable for the newly-promoted Tractor Boys, and victory is entirely plausible. Fulham have lost half of their last 20 EPL away days.

Correct Score: 2-1

Leicester vs Aston Villa 

Aston Villa had their moments in last weekend’s 2-0 defeat against Arsenal and Unai Emery’s outfit will expect to get back to business with victory at Midland rivals Leicester.

The visitors have posted W9-D4-L3 in away days at bottom-half teams under the Spaniard, and a trip to the King Power Stadium shouldn’t intimidate the Villains.  

Correct Score: 0-2

Nottingham Forest vs Wolves 

Wolves produced a reasonable effort at Arsenal on MD1, and their 6-2 shellacking against Chelsea was far from the one-sided contest the final score suggested. 

The Old Gold will be doubly determined to get off the mark and their trip to Nottingham Forest looks to have a draw written all over it – the duo played out two stalemates last season.

Correct Score: 1-1

West Ham vs Manchester City 

Defending champions Manchester City have ominously posted two cushy victories despite missing a whole clutch of their first-team regulars. 

Pep Guardiola could recall the cavalry for the visit to West Ham and so the Citizens are well-fancied to clinch a third successive victory at the London Stadium with the Irons in transition.

Correct Score: 0-2

Chelsea vs Crystal Palace 

Crystal Palace were expected to kick-on this campaign under Oliver Glasner so a pointless return from the first two Eagles encounters have disappointed supporters. 

Nevertheless, a trip to an erratic Chelsea side immediately after the transfer window closing should give the visitors hope of picking up at least a share of the spoils.

Correct Score: 2-2

Newcastle vs Tottenham 

Entertainment could be in the offing at St James’ Park on Sunday as front-foot pair Newcastle and Tottenham lock horns.

The Magpies are favoured in a high-scoring contest with Eddie Howe’s outfit losing only three of their last 20 home EPL outings (W13-D4-L3), whilst averaging 2.50 goals per-game at their Tyneside base. 

Correct Score: 3-2

Manchester United vs Liverpool

Liverpool have been favourites to win in each of their last nine trips to Old Trafford but the Reds have only managed to pick up maximum points on two occasions.

In four of those nine fixtures, Manchester United were 3/1 (4.00) or bigger. With the Red Devils expected to raise their game on Sunday, a point apiece looks the most likely outcome.

Correct Score: 1-1
