vs 
Chelsea vs Fulham
Chelsea started the season with a goalless draw at home against Crystal Palace. In the next match, they achieved a big win of 5:1 against West Ham, showing the strength of Enzo Maresca’s new system. Jao Pedro and Delap fit well in the attack, and the midfield with Enzo Fernandez and Caicedo looks solid. The team seems much more balanced compared to last season.
On the other hand, Fulham is still searching for their true form, they haven’t won in the first two matches, drawing with Brighton and Manchester Utd. In the EFL Cup, they secured a victory over Bristol City. Marco Silva’s team creates chances, but the attack relies too much on Rodrigo Muniz, while the defense often makes mistakes.
Chelsea has a great attack and looks more confident on the field, and we expect them to win at home.
1 (Chelsea to Win)
Predicted CS: 3:1

vs 
Manchester Utd vs Burnley
United had a rough start to the season, losing to Arsenal at home and drawing with Fulham. Ruben Amorim is trying to bring in a new dynamic style, but the defense is weak. They were shocked by Grimsby, a team from the 4th ranked league, who defeated them in the EFL Cup. Cunha and Mbeumo need to be much more effective for the team to succeed.
Burnley showed their fighting spirit with a 2-0 win against Sunderland at home, after previously losing to Tottenham 3-0. In the EFL Cup, they beat Derby. They rely on a solid defense and individual plays from Amdouni. In today’s match, they will be without Zaroury, who is suspended.
Both teams need to work on improving their form, and considering Manchester Utd’s current performance, we expect at least one goal from each side.

vs 
Sunderland vs Brentford
Sunderland had a great start, winning against West Ham 3-0 at home, but they quickly faced a setback with a loss to Burnley. In the EFL Cup, they were outplayed by Huddersfield. As a newly promoted team, they play bravely and aggressively, but they lack experience. Clarke and Roberts are the biggest threats in their attack.
Brentford regained their confidence with a win over Aston Villa, after previously being defeated by Nottingham 3-1. In the EFL Cup, they secured a victory against Bournemouth 2-0. Ouattara once again proved to be a leader, while Frank keeps the team organized.
Brentford plays very disciplined and has a great attack, and we expect them to earn 3 points in today’s match.

Predicted CS: 1:2

vs 
Tottenham vs Bournemouth
Spurs made a big splash by beating Man City 2:0, and before that, they also had a convincing win against Burnley. Thomas Frank introduced his philosophy with high pressing and quick transitions, which turned out to be a successful strategy, as they scored 5 goals and didn’t concede any in their first 2 matches of the season. Palhinha is a great addition, and Son is still the leader on the field.
Bournemouth won against Wolves at home with a score of 1:0, but they were previously defeated by Liverpool with a score of 4:2. In the EFL Cup, they lost to Brentford. Iraola has a disciplined team, but they lack the quality to compete with Spurs in their current form.
Tottenham started off strong, looking great in both attack and defense, and we expect them to secure a win in this match.
1 (Tottenham to Win)
Predicted CS: 2:0

vs 
Wolves vs Everton
Wolves started the season with two losses against Manchester City and Bournemouth. They have weaknesses in their defense, having conceded 5 goals in these two matches without scoring any. Their attack is pretty static, and even though Larsen and Munetsi can be dangerous at times, finishing is a problem. In the EFL Cup, they managed to outplay West Ham and won 3:2.
On the other hand, Everton showed a new side with their 2:0 victory over Brighton, after not performing well in the first round where they lost to Leeds. Moyes has stabilized the team, and Jack Grealish is in good form. The defense, with Tarkowski and Branthwaite, looks much more secure, but they will be without Tarkowski for this match due to injury.
Wolves have defensive issues, but they play dynamic football, and we expect to see at least 3 goals in this match.
3+ (Over 2.5)
Predicted CS: 1:2

vs 
Leeds vs Newcastle
Leeds shined in their first match against Everton, winning 1:0, but then faced a heavy defeat against Arsenal, losing 5:0. In the EFL Cup, they were beaten by Sheffield Wed after a penalty shootout. Daniel Farke’s team needs to show character in front of their home crowd. Gnonto and Summerville are key players in the attack.
Newcastle lost to Liverpool 2:3 in their last match and had an unstable defense. In the previous round, they also didn’t perform well and drew with Aston Villa. Howe needs to improve the discipline in defense, and Isak, if fit, is the main hope in the attack.
Leeds started off great, but they can’t keep up with the high pressing style in the Premier League. We expect a win for the visiting team.
2 (Newcastle to Win)
Predicted CS: 1:2

vs 
Brighton vs Manchester City
Brighton under Hürzeler is still adjusting to the new style. They drew 1:1 with Fulham in the first round, then lost to Everton in a match where they conceded 2 goals and didn’t score any. They have a talented team, but their finishing is weak. In the EFL Cup, they defeated the second division team Oxford Utd with a big score of 0:6.
City was unpleasantly surprised by Spurs and lost 0:2 at home, after which we expected a reaction from Guardiola. In the first round, they dominated Wolves with a score of 0:4. Haaland and Foden will be key players, and the defense needs to be stronger if they want to achieve their goals this season.
City enters this match as the favorite, and they cannot afford to drop points if they want to keep up with the best in the league.
2 (City to Win)
Predicted CS: 1:3

vs 
Nottingham vs West Ham
Forest started strong with a win and a draw. In the first round, they beat Brentford 3:1, and then they drew with Crystal Palace away. Gibbs-White was the main creator. Nuno Espirito Santo has made the team play more organized and stable.
West Ham faced a disaster against Chelsea, losing 1:5. Before that, they were beaten by Sunderland 3:0, and in the EFL Cup, they also lost to Wolves. Graham Potter is under pressure, and without Paqueta, the team seems to lack ideas in the midfield.
Nottingham showed a much more organized game, and we expect them to win at home.
1 (Nottingham to Win)
Predicted CS: 2:1

vs 
Liverpool vs Arsenal
Liverpool has started the season just as expected, achieving 2 wins in the first 3 matches. First, they defeated Bournemouth 4:2 at home, and then they won against Newcastle away with a score of 2:3. Arne Slot has brought high intensity and energy to the attack. Salah is in great form, and Szoboszlai is the engine in the midfield.
Arsenal secured a big win over Leeds with a score of 5:0, and in the first round, they also won against Manchester Utd away. Before the season started, they had a victory of 3:0 against Ath Bilbao in the Emirates Cup. Martinelli and Eze will have to carry the load in attack since Saka and Havertz will not be part of this match.
The match between the main title contenders this season is expected to be dynamic, and we anticipate seeing at least 3 goals.
3+ (Over 2.5)
Predicted CS: 2:2

vs 
Aston Villa vs Crystal Palace
Villa has only one point from the first two matches and they don’t seem to be performing well on the field. In the first match, they drew 0-0 with Newcastle, and then they lost to Brentford. They are struggling with finishing their chances, and the midfield isn’t creative enough. Emery is under pressure to secure a win at home.
Palace has drawn both of their matches this season, also without any goals against Chelsea, and then they played 1-1 with Nottingham. They are solid in defense, but they lack ideas in attack. Sar and Mateta, if fit for this match, are the key players.
For both teams, their main strength is their defense, so we expect a close match where both teams will take one point.
