Leeds vs West Ham – Friday 24 October, 8:00pm
Leeds enter this match not in the strongest form, but they face a West Ham side struggling even more in recent weeks. Leeds have picked up two wins from their eight league games so far, while West Ham have managed just one and haven’t tasted victory in nearly two months. At home, Leeds have been fairly solid, losing only once this season, whereas West Ham have collected just four points from a possible 12 away from home.
Prediction: Leeds 2-1 West Ham (7/1 with Sky Bet)
Chelsea vs Sunderland – Saturday 25 October, 3:00pm
Chelsea come into this contest off the back of four wins in a row, although two of those have come in the Champions League. It’s been a great period for the Blues, who have scored 11 goals in that time and conceded just twice and they will be full of confidence for the visit of Sunderland. The Black Cats have impressed themselves this season, winning four of their eight games and sitting in seventh place in the Premier League. The majority of their good form has come at home, with Sunderland winning just four of their 14 points on the road and this represents another tough trip for the Black Cats.
Prediction: Chelsea 2-0 Sunderland (7/1 with Sky Bet)
Newcastle vs Fulham – Saturday 25 October, 3:00pm
Newcastle arrive on the back of a confidence-boosting 3-0 victory over José Mourinho’s Benfica in midweek Champions League action, with a result that underlined their quality when it clicks. Domestically, though, Eddie Howe’s side have yet to find their rhythm, but with Fulham averaging a poor 2.7 shots on target per game, they can get the three points here in a narrow victory.
Prediction: Newcastle 1-0 Fulham (6/1 with Sky Bet)
Man Utd vs Brighton – Saturday 25 October, 5:30pm
Manchester United top the league for expected goals (xG) this season and head into this fixture having won three of their last four Premier League matches. It’s been a strong recovery from Ruben Amorim’s side, who managed only one win in their first five outings. Brighton trail United by a single point in the table but have struggled on the road, earning just four points away from home so far. In contrast, United have been impressive at Old Trafford, winning their last three home games and averaging nearly two goals per match in front of their fans.
Prediction: Man Utd 3-1 Brighton (12/1 with Sky Bet)

Brentford vs Liverpool – Saturday 25 October, 8:00pm
Liverpool haven’t been in the greatest of form recently but this is a fixture that the Reds have performed well in, winning their last five matches against Brentford. We’re backing them to get back to winning ways this weekend against a Brentford side that have only beaten Liverpool once in the modern era. The Reds put five past Frankfurt a few days ago and shouldn’t be under estimated here.
Prediction: Brentford 1-3 Liverpool (12/1 with Sky Bet)
Arsenal vs Crystal Palace – Sunday 26 October, 2:00pm
Arsenal come into this match sitting at the top of the league, having won eight of their last nine matches in all competitions. It’s been a remarkable spell for the Gunners, who haven’t lost since late August and have allowed only three goals across those nine games. Crystal Palace have enjoyed a solid campaign overall, but they’ve dropped points in three of their last five Premier League fixtures. Defensively, Palace have conceded roughly a goal per game, while Arsenal have been prolific at home, netting 11 times in just four matches at the Emirates this season.
Prediction: Arsenal 2-0 Crystal Palace (11/2 with Sky Bet)
Aston Villa vs Man City – Sunday 26 October, 2:00pm
Historically, this has been a favourable matchup for Manchester City, who have won seven of the last ten encounters between the two sides. Pep Guardiola’s team come into the game unbeaten in their last nine matches as they aim to close the gap on Arsenal at the top of the table. Aston Villa, meanwhile, are enjoying an excellent run of form with five straight wins in all competitions, but this will be a far sterner test for Unai Emery’s men, having managed just two victories in their last ten meetings with City.
Prediction: Aston Villa 0-2 Man City (8/1 with Sky Bet)
Bournemouth vs Nottingham Forest – Sunday 26 October, 2:00pm
Nottingham Forest haven’t won any of the last 10 meetings between these two sides, with history definitely being on the side of Bournemouth. More recent form has been on the side of the Cherries too, with Bournemouth going six games without a loss in the Premier League and sitting in fourth place. Before they met Porto, Nottingham Forest had won only once this season, 11 games ago on the opening day of the Premier League campaign.
Prediction: Bournemouth 3-0 Nottingham Forest (14/1 with Sky Bet)

Wolves vs Burnley
Neither side has particularly impressed this season, with Burnley managing only two wins and Wolves still searching for their first victory. Four of the last ten clashes between these teams have ended in draws, and based on current form, there’s little to suggest either will claim all three points this time around.
Prediction: Wolves 1-1 Burnley (11/2 with Sky Bet)
Everton vs Tottenham – Sunday 26 October, 4:30pm
Spurs were poor away at Monaco in midweek and have failed to win on any of their last six visits to Everton. Thomas Frank’s men have had significantly less time to prepare for this game, and a rather comfortable home win could be on the cards here.
Prediction: Everton 2-0 Tottenham (12/1 with Sky Bet)
