๐ BRENTFORD VS LIVERPOOL ๐ด
Brentford have been on a good run and are unbeaten in 5 games but I feel it will come to an end here. Ivan Toney is a doubt for this match due to a leg injury and I can’t see any other player that can offer what Toney offers to the Bee’s attack. Liverpool are now playing well and are also on a good run. Mohamed Salah is now in form and getting goals involvement. I think they will continue with their good run but it won’t be any easy.

๐ด ARSENAL VS NEWCASTLE โซ
I am expecting this match to be a cracker. These are two good sides facing each other and for a reason, I think this will be much of a real test for Arsenal than Newcastle because the Gunners are in a better position to win the league. Newcastle have got goals in them but Arsenal’s final third is second to none in the Premier League at the moment. So there will be goals, at least two, which makes it safer to bank on goals rather than backing a side. To back a side is a tough call here.
PREDICTION: Over 1.5
TIP: ARS 1-1 NEW
RESULT: ARS 0-0 NEW
๐ต EVERTON VS BRIGHTON ๐ฆ
Everton got a good result from the Etihad Stadium against Man City last time out. They were defensively disciplined, compact in the midfield, and didn’t allow spaces. It should help their confidence going into this one and if they sharpen their attack, they will surely get something out of this game. Brighton lost to Arsenal last time out but it was a great outing. They gave the Gunners a good fight and were resilient until the end. I think they will make up for it here by getting something out of this game. Everton are a physical side but Brighton are a very technical side with both having a good defense.

๐ฆ LEICESTER VS FULHAM โช
Leicester are still in a mess and I don’t know when they will get out of it. They are still prone to defensive errors with no creativity in the midfield as James Maddison is still out injured but the attack did a bit of a job against Liverpool last time out. I don’t think it will get any better for Leicester here but I expect them to do better than they did against Liverpool because they are playing against a lesser team. Fulham, on the other hand, are on a good run. They’ve been impressive since club football resumed and they’ve been the surprise package of the Premier League this season so far. They’ve got goals in them, no doubt but I’m having doubts about them picking up maximum points here.
PREDICTION: Over 1.5

๐น MAN UTD VS BOURNEMOUTH ๐
Bournemouth are having a hard time at the moment and are on a poor run since the #PL resumed. Their goals have been hard to come by and I don’t know how you are going to games if you can’t score. It is hard to make a case for them here. Man Utd, on the other hand, have been playing well and are impressive. Although they had a bit of a difficult time against Wolves last time out, they managed to cross the line. I don’t think it will be repeated here. I see them winning this match with less struggle.

โ SOUTHAMPTON VS NOTT. FOREST ๐
These two teams are having a bad time at the moment. Southampton have not been scoring many goals. They are fond of scoring one goal which is not always enough to win a game because their defense is not immaculate – they do concede goals. Nott. Forest, in their last two games, have lost 3-0 to Man Utd and got a 1-1 draw against Chelsea. They were poor against Man Utd but improved a lot against Chelsea, especially in the 2nd half, and made it difficult for the Blues to play against them. I think they will put up a show here too and I won’t be surprised if it ends goalless.
PREDICTION: Under 3.5

โช LEEDS UTD VS WEST HAM ๐
Leeds Utd put up a good fight against Newcastle last time out. Honestly, I thought they would be blown away by the Magpies but they did well to keep themselves together. I think they will continue with that constructive approach and might probably get the result for their hard work against the Hammers who are wobbling at the moment. West Ham disappointed me last time out and convinced me to accept that they are making a slow start to #PL resumption. They have been poor in terms of performance that you can’t even say this is the kind of approach they give to games. I would like to see Scamacca and Paquetรก kick off this game with Bowen, maybe I wouldn’t have to rule them out completely.

๐ฆ ASTON VILLA VS WOLVES ๐บ
Wolves lost to Man Utd last time out but they fought well and I think they will fight well here again. Both managers, Wolves’ Julen Lopetegui and Aston Villa’s Unai Emery have just arrived from La Liga and I think they will know how to approach each other better in this clash. Aston Villa got an impressive 0-2 win over Tottenham last time out and I think they will want to build on it. I think the Lions will get something out of this game because they are at home and will have the advantage plus the fans.

๐ฆ CRYSTAL PALACE VS TOTTENHAM โช
Tottenham are in mayhem and I’m having a feeling that Antonio Conte will be sacked. They lost to Aston Villa last time out with an awful performance and that was the 10th time they have been behind in a game in all competitions – 7th time in the Premier League. You can’t always come back from a losing position all the time. On no condition should you find yourself behind in a game, it is detrimental. Crystal Palace responded well to their defeat against Fulham by getting a win over Bournemouth last time out and kept a clean sheet. With the mayhem at Tottenham, to the extent of fans booing their players, I think the Eagles will capitalize on this and get something out of this game.

๐ต CHELSEA VS MAN CITY ๐
Chelsea have not been spectacular and so they dropped points against Nott. Forest last time out. In their last two games against Bournemouth and Nott. Forest, we have seen how they were outplayed by their opponents, especially in the second half. Eventually, Serge Aurier got the equalizer for Nott. Forest in the 63rd minute from a set piece the Blues didn’t deal with diligently meaning that they are not defensively perfect and somehow vulnerable to set piece. I do not see enough creativity in their midfield and they are not very sharp going forward. I don’t think they will be able to contain the Cityzens who will be hungry for a win after they dropped points at the Etihad against Everton last time out. Man City will surely step up their game here because it is Chelsea and because they want to close up the 7 points gap between them and Arsenal who are top of the table.
