Arsenal remain five points clear at top of Premier League table
Aston Villa moved up to third with victory at Brighton
Wolves are still searching for first victory of the campaign
It’s set to be another blockbuster weekend of action in the Premier League with all 20 clubs playing from Saturday lunchtime through to Monday night.
Elliott Bretland has correct score predictions for all 10 Premier League games, starting with the leaders Arsenal in their trip to face former boss Unai Emery and his Aston Villa side.
Aston Villa vs Arsenal (Saturday, 12.30pm)
This is a crucial clash at the top of the table as third-placed Villa host Premier League leaders Arsenal in Saturday’s early kick-off. Emery’s side can move just three points off the Gunners and top spot with a victory.
Arsenal extended their unbeaten run to 18 games with victory over Brentford on Wednesday, while the Villans have won six straight matches having defeated Brighton last time out.
Score prediction: Aston Villa 1-1 Arsenal
Everton vs Nottingham Forest (Saturday, 3pm)
Former Everton boss Sean Dyche takes his Nottingham Forest side to the Hill Dickinson Stadium looking to drag his current side further away from the drop zone.
Both sides go into this match having won three of their last four Premier League games, though the Toffees lost 4-1 to Newcastle in their last match at home and so David Moyes and his men will be eager to follow up Tuesday’s 1-0 triumph at Bournemouth with another three points.
Score prediction: Everton 1-0 Nottingham Forest
Newcastle vs Burnley (Saturday, 3pm)
Newcastle have won their last four matches against Burnley and will be confident of another victory with home advantage. The Magpies have failed to keep a clean sheet in five matches and face a Clarets side who have found the net 10 times in their last six matches on the road.
Eddie Howe’s men should boast enough attacking quality to win comfortably but a shutout is unlikely.
Score prediction: Newcastle 3-1 Burnley
Manchester City vs Sunderland (Saturday, 3pm)
Sunderland have won at Stamford Bridge and taken points off Aston Villa, Arsenal and Liverpool but travel to a Manchester City side who have won all but one of their home matches since the end of August.
The Black Cats have been in impressive form but have kept just one clean sheet since the start of October and so Erling Haaland, who is back among the goals after drawing a blank for three matches, should find opportunities to help his side to victory.
Score prediction: Manchester City 3-1 Sunderland
Tottenham vs Brentford (Saturday, 3pm)
Tottenham are five games without a victory and so manager Thomas Frank will be hoping to get the better of former club Brentford to end the winless run.
Spurs have taken nine points from nine in their last three matches against the Bees. Keith Andrews’ side have failed to keep a clean sheet in their previous five games but have won four Premier League matches in seven.
Score prediction: Tottenham 2-1 Brentford
Bournemouth vs Chelsea (Saturday, 3pm)
Bournemouth were out of sorts in Tuesday’s home defeat by Everton and will be looking to put the result right when Chelsea come to town. The Blues also looked out of character midweek as they were beaten 3-1 by struggling Leeds at Elland Road.
The Cherries are winless in five and now face a side they have not beaten in eight games.
Score prediction: Bournemouth 0-1 Chelsea
Leeds vs Liverpool (Saturday, 5.30pm)
Leeds ended a run of four straight defeats with a home victory over Chelsea on Wednesday and will be raring to go when they play again under the Elland Road lights against Liverpool on Saturday evening.
The Reds dropped more points with a 1-1 draw against Sunderland at Anfield and it remains to be seen if manager Arne Slot is yet to find enough solutions to the problems which have so far beset their campaign.
Score prediction: Leeds 1-1 Liverpool
Brighton vs West Ham (Sunday, 2pm)
Brighton’s four-match unbeaten run came to an end in a 4-3 thriller against Aston Villa but the Seagulls have another home game to bounce back and face a West Ham side who have won just once on the road this season.
The Hammers may be stuck in the relegation zone but they have lost one game in five after drawing with Manchester United at Old Trafford on Thursday night and the are on the road again looking for points..
Score prediction: Brighton 1-1 West Ham
Fulham vs Crystal Palace (Sunday, 4.30pm)
Fulham gave Manchester City a scare midweek, fighting back from 5-1 down to lose 5-4 and will be hoping to carry that second half momentum into Sunday’s clash with Crystal Palace at Craven Cottage.
Marco Silva’s side have won three in five but now face an Eagles side who kept four clean sheets in their last five matches, earning 10 points in that time.
Score prediction: Fulham 1-1 Crystal Palace
Wolves vs Manchester United (Monday, 8pm)
Wolves are yet to win in the Premier League this season and have lost all three games under new manager Rob Edwards, failing to score a goal.
Picking up just two points in 14 matches, the winless run is set to continue against Manchester United at Molineux.
The Red Devils have scored two goals in each of their last four games on the road, picking up eight points in those away games and losing just once in eight going back to the start of October.
Score prediction: Wolves 0-2 Manchester United
