Mark O’Haire is backing Aston Villa to impress against Man United with a goal-heavy game anticipated when Brighton welcome Tottenham to the south coast on Sunday.
12:30 Saturday
Crystal Palace vs Liverpool
Liverpool lead the way in the Premier League and the Reds are well-capable of signing off for the international break with another impressive effort. Crystal Palace are struggling to find form at the start of the new season with Oliver Glasner’s group looking weaker, fragile and vulnerable across the board (W0-D3-L3). They’re easily opposed.
Correct Score: 0-2
15:00 Saturday
Arsenal vs Southampton
Arsenal are W20-D2-L0 when hosting bottom-half teams in the Premier League since the start of 2022/23 and it’s difficult to dismiss the Gunners as major favourites here. Mikel Arteta’s men have averaged over 3.00 goals per-game during that 22-game sample and a repeat should be well within range against newly-promoted Southampton.
Correct Score: 3-0
15:00 Saturday
Brentford vs Wolves
Winless Wolves (W0-D1-L5) look to make their mark at Brentford in what should be a competitive contest at the Community Stadium. The Bees are missing key cogs in forward areas but remain a difficult side to oust, especially on home turf, and a scoring stalemate looks the most likely here with neither side standing-out at the prices.
Correct Score: 1-1
15:00 Saturday
Leicester vs Bournemouth
Leicester gave Arsenal an almighty fright at the Emirates last weekend and the Foxes will hope to pick up where they left off when facing Bournemouth. However, the Cherries are no easy meat with their only league losses arriving against Liverpool and Chelsea this season. The visitors are backed to take top honours at the King Power.
Correct Score: 1-2
15:00 Saturday
Manchester City vs Fulham
Fulham find themselves occupying a top-six position following a W3-D2-L1 start. The Cottagers have largely impressed, although a generous schedule has also allowed the Whites to flourish. A trip to The Etihad is bound to test their top-half credentials – even without Rodri or Kevin de Bruyne, Man City are difficult to dismiss on home soil.
Correct Score: 3-1
15:00 Saturday
West Ham vs Ipswich
The pressure is mounting on West Ham boss Julen Lopetegui with reports of discontent surfacing amongst the playing squad. The Hammers have failed to fire despite significant summer investment and look best left alone for the tricky visit of Ipswich – Town have played out four successive draws and a repeat could well be on the cards.
Correct Score: 1-1
17:30 Saturday
Everton vs Newcastle
Everton ended their wait for a Premier League victory last weekend and the Toffees appear underrated for Saturday evening’s encounter with a Newcastle side that don’t tend to travel well. The Magpies have only won twice at teams outside of the bottom-five since the beginning of last season and have kept just two clean sheets in 22 road trips.
Correct Score: 2-1
14:00 Sunday
Aston Villa vs Manchester United
Aston Villa delivered a famous victory over Bayern Munich in midweek and Unai Emery’s outfit can follow that stand-out success with another on Sunday. Man Utd’s appalling defeat at home to Tottenham has plunged the Red Devils back into crisis mode and the visitors come into this with the rest disadvantage after facing Porto away on Thursday.
Correct Score: 3-1
14:00 Sunday
Chelsea vs Nottingham Forest
Chelsea have responded to their opening day defeat against Man City emphatically, scoring 15 goals across their following five fixtures. However, the Blues might find Nottingham Forest more difficult to negotiate – the Tricky Trees have W4-D1-L0 in their last five away games, a sample that includes a deserved victory at Liverpool.
Correct Score: 1-1
16:30 Sunday
Brighton vs Tottenham
Entertainment is expected at The Amex as Brighton and Tottenham lock horns for the Super Sunday showpiece. Over 2.5 Goals and Both Teams To Score has banked in four of Brighton’s six Premier League games under Fabian Hurzeler’s tutorship, whilst Spurs have now scored three goals or more in three of their most recent five EPL encounters.
Correct Score: 2-2
