ASTON VILLA vs BRIGHTON & HOVE ALBION (1230)
Four wins from six have seen Villa climb surreptitiously up to sixth. Brighton have done even better. They’ve won all but one of their games this season and were it not for defeat at our hands they’d be level with Man City at the top. Two managers with a reputation for detail and decent football make for an appealing start to the weekend’s fixtures. It also makes it hard to predict. So refuge will be taken in the comfort of the fence. Draw.
BOURNEMOUTH vs ARSENAL (1500)
Things aren’t quite so finely balanced at the Vitality. The fence is the most the Cherries can realistically spire to in this one, though even that seems a tad far off. The two managers are childhood friends and seem to share the same barber. This should be fairly straightforward, but it has to be done. Away win.
EVERTON vs LUTON TOWN (1500)
The Toffees have a couple of encouraging results under their belt, at last, which should instil some of the confidence that’s been painfully lacking for a long time. Luton will want to put a stop to that, but can they? Nope. Home win.
MANCHESTER UNITED vs CRYSTAL PALACE (1500)
Ninth hosts tenth. Man U are too good for Palace. No surprises today. Home win.
NEWCASTLE UNITED vs BURNLEY (1500)
Eddie Howe seems to have a record of getting his sides properly into gear only once a few games are under his belt. Their midweek victory over Man City should have given the Geordies a mega boost. Sorry, Burnley, you’ll still be second from bottom at the final whistle. Home win.
WEST HAM UNITED vs SHEFFIELD UNITED (1500)
Only one who? Yep, him. What kind of reaction will the Blades show to their 0-8 mauling last week? With luck, their confidence will remain shattered, presenting all three points on a platter to their massive opponents. An early goal will help. Home win.
WOLVERHAMPTON WANDERERS vs MANCHESTER CITY (1500)
Wolves have managed four points from their six games to date. An uneven encounter is in store. Away win.
TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR vs LIVERPOOL (1730)
This should be a cracker as two top managers and top four sides do battle. Impossible to say who’s favourite… so: Draw
*SUNDAY*
NOTTINGHAM FOREST vs BRENTFORD (1400)
Forest are still unbeaten at home while Brentford haven’t yet got into the swing of things. They lost their last two league games – at home to Everton and away at Newcastle – and drew at home to Bournemouth. They won’t find Forest an easy opponent. Draw.
*MONDAY*
FULHAM vs CHELSEA (2000)
Fulham are three places and three points above Chelsea, whose confidence is close to an all-time low. And that despite the billions that have been pumped into the players and staff. How things change – and how Fulham would like to get one over their near neighbours. Will they? It’s hard to say. Draw.
*TUESDAY*
LUTON TOWN vs BURNLEY (1930)
Combine these two sides’ points this season and they’d still be in the bottom three. But Burnley should be too strong for their hosts. Away win.
*CHAMPIONSHIP*
Former leaders Preston were help to a draw at lowly Rotherham last time, allowing Leicester and Ipswich to leapfrog them into the top two places. Southampton, many people’s favourites for promotion, are severely missing James Ward-Prowse as they’ve slipped dangerously down the table, having lost all their four games this month and shipping 12 goals in the process. They take on sixth-placed Leeds in today’s early game. Michael Carrick’s Boro have lifted themselves from the bottom of the table and visit Watford this afternoon. Millwall in 11th host Swansea (21st), and tomorrow lunchtime sees table-toppers Leicester travel to Blackburn. The Championship is as competitive as ever.

De Zerbi sticking 2 kids in midfield was always a huge risk and they got done for it.

Never saw the 3 North West teams losing today, going to be some tears up there if Liverpool also lose.

I’m liking the new offside rule, you can be offside even when you aren’t offside 🤷♂️

In the Cunts v Cunts Derby I wish I could laugh even more at the grief merchants misfortune. An onside, by a yard, goal given offside, two red cards but unfortunately, fucking spurs are the winners in their misfortune so not AS funny. Still fucking funny though

I fucking hate Spurs. They don’t have a song of their own. You’d think they’ve won a trophy. No they bear 9 men (well the 9 men beat themselves). Cunts.

I feel dirty for supporting Liverpool, gutted.
Spurs seems to get more additional time than any other club.

Didnt put anything on Man City & Luton ... to be honest I'd have wanted 10,000/1 + given one has happened once & the other never in PL history
Spurs luck will run out. The jammy cunts
We know that Fat Ange will lose his unbeaten home run against US

I hope you're right fauxstralian . But I can't see us beating any of the sky 6 away from home under Moyes . Plays the badge more than the 11 players on the pitch . Tragedy is we have better players than some of them .

Just seen the Jones red card ... over the ball and studs in his shin. Should have no complaints
The offside .... looks like a horrendous blunder. Seems comfortably behind the defender who has his leg stretched back
Jota ... idiotic second yellow. Dopey
