Alex Wrigley has correct score predictions for all 10 Premier League games.
Brighton vs Everton (Saturday, 3pm)
Everton’s 1-1 draw with Leeds last weekend extended their unbeaten run to four matches, although it was the third 1-1 scoreline during this period.
Brighton have played out two 1-1 draws in their last four matches, while two of the last five meetings between these sides have gone the same way.
Score prediction: Brighton 1-1 Everton
Leeds vs Arsenal (Saturday, 3pm)
Leeds have put together a three-game unbeaten run as they look to move clear of the relegation battle, but that run may come to an end when they host Premier League leaders Arsenal on Saturday.
The Gunners have won six of their last seven away games and scored exactly three goals in four of these victories, notably overcoming Inter 3-1 in the Champions League.
Score prediction: Leeds 1-3 Arsenal
Wolves vs Bournemouth (Saturday, 3pm)
Wolves may be destined for the drop, but they have finally found some form of late and could add to their meagre points tally at home to Bournemouth.
Rob Edwards’ side have only lost one of their last six games, drawing three, and they host a Cherries outfit that have not won an away game since August.
Score prediction: Wolves 1-1 Bournemouth
Chelsea vs West Ham (Saturday, 5.30pm)
Chelsea have won five of their six matches since Liam Rosenior took charge and look set for another three points against West Ham, but they have only kept one clean sheet under the former Strasbourg boss and may struggle to shut out the resurgent Hammers.
Nuno Espirito Santo’s side have scored in five of their last six, but they have lost their last five trips to Stamford Bridge, so their recent revival could be put on ice.
Score prediction: Chelsea 3-1 West Ham
Liverpool vs Newcastle (Saturday, 8pm)
Liverpool secured a confidence-boosting win in midweek against Qarabag and should build on that success against a Newcastle side that have not won at Anfield since 1994.
The Magpies have picked up just one point from their last three league assignments, but they should at least find the net against a Reds’ side that have conceded in six of their last nine.
Score prediction: Liverpool 2-1 Newcastle
Aston Villa vs Brentford (Sunday, 2pm)
Aston Villa are still in the Premier League title race and head into Sunday’s game with an exceptional home record, winning 12 of their last 13 games at Villa Park.
Brentford have lost eight of their 11 league away games this season and six of their last nine trips in all competitions.
The Bees have conceded exactly twice in all six of those losses, losing 2-0 on five occasions.
Score prediction: Aston Villa 2-0 Brentford
Manchester United vs Fulham (Sunday, 2pm)
Manchester United have looked a renewed side since Michael Carrick took charge, securing huge victories over Manchester City and Arsenal.
They kept a clean sheet in their home win over the Citizens and could scrape past Fulham, who have lost three of their last four league trips to Old Trafford, including a 1-0 loss last season.
Score prediction: Manchester United 1-0 Fulham
Nottingham Forest vs Crystal Palace (Sunday, 2pm)
Nottingham Forest have won their last two games and will be looking to build a head of steam and move further clear of the relegation zone against free-falling Crystal Palace.
The Eagles are winless in 11 games and have lost four of their last five away matches, but they have scored in their last three fixtures.
Score prediction: Nottingham Forest 2-1 Crystal Palace
Tottenham vs Manchester City (Sunday, 4.30pm)
Thomas Frank remains under extreme pressure in the Tottenham dugout and his situation may worsen when title challengers Manchester City come to town.
Spurs have lost three of their last five home games by a 2-1 scoreline and face a Citizens outfit that have scored exactly twice in each of their last three victories.
Score prediction: Tottenham 1-2 Manchester City
Sunderland vs Burnley (Monday, 8pm)
Sunderland’s early season form may have tailed off, but they are the only side yet to lose at home in the league and can pick up another victory at the Stadium of Light.
The Black Cats should have the measure of Burnley, who have won just one away game all season but have failed to score in only two of their 11 trips.
Score prediction: Sunderland 2-1 Burnley
