Squawka x MatchPint: Premier League gameweek three predictions
The Premier League has come back with a bang. VAR controversies, superb strikes and absolute howlers; we’ve seem them all during the opening couple of weeks of the 2019/20 season.
As expected, things are proving to be difficult to predict. But we’re giving it our best crack by playing MatchPint’s ‘Budweiser Premier Predictor’ game.
Click here to download the Match Pint app and use the code SQWKA to join our league and compete against the Squawka Team.
Every single gameweek this season, supporters have the chance to predict the final score of each televised fixture. And if you call a score exactly right then you win a free Budweiser. Easy peasy, right?
There are five games to predict ahead of gameweek three and you can see how the Squawka Team sees things playing out below:
Aston Villa vs Everton: 0-2
Jack Grealish’s ongoing list of ‘Ls’ has shown no sign of letting up in recent weeks. Although Villa look capable of competing in the top flight, Dean Smith’s men have come up short so far and need to improve to stop their relegation obituaries being written.
Meanwhile, the Toffees have kept two clean sheets on the trot this season and we expect Jordan Pickford to chalk up number three on Friday night.
Norwich vs Chelsea: 1-2
Move over Jamie Vardy. Teemu Pukki is having a party. The Norwich striker is joint top of the goalscoring charts and will fancy his chances of finding the net against a somewhat disjointed Blues defence.
Frank Lampard’s men cannot survive on mere pats on the back for playing well for much longer and need a result at Carrow Road. It’s going to be tight, but we think the west Londoners will edge it.

Liverpool vs Arsenal: 3-1
This is the big one. All eyes will be on Anfield as Liverpool look to make a title statement. Roberto Firmino is the new Didier Drogba. Why? Because he loves to absolutely terrorise Gunners defenders.
The Brazilian has scored eight goals in eight games against the north Londoners and we think it is Jurgen Klopp’s side who will come out on top.
Bournemouth vs Man City: 1-4
Pep Guardiola is probably still raging about last week’s VAR decision against Spurs, but that is likely to be bad news for the Cherries. City will be fired up to reverse the perceived injustice and another hatful of goals is expected to be on the way.
Goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale has impressed in his opening two Premier League appearances for Eddie Howe’s side but may well be in for a long afternoon.
Spurs vs Newcastle: 2-0
The north Londoners had to count their lucky stars at the Etihad Stadium but won’t want to leave anything to chance against Newcastle.
Steve Bruce’s side were battered by Norwich and appear to be there for the taking. With Heung-min Son back from suspension, Spurs’ front line should be firing on all cylinders and we are backing Mauricio Pochettino’s men to run out comfortable winners.
