Wolves vs Crystal Palace

The Premier League matches kick off on Friday night this weekend with an 8pm GMT start between Wolves and Crystal Palace at Molineux. Very little separates these two teams in the table with them both on the same points and only divided by goal difference. Are these two as closely matched as the table currently depicts though or will one of them prevail as a convincing winner in this game?

Wolves endured a slow start to their league season with 2 losses from their opening 3 league matches but form has steadied since those games to see the club move up to 9th in the table. Nuno Espirito Santo has witnessed his team win 2 and draw 1 of their last 3 league games. Scoring goals is still a concern though. The sale of Diogo Jota will be harder to take for Wanderers fans given their side have only scored 4 goals in their last 5 league games yet the Portuguese front man has already 2 goals in 4 games for his new employers. Even so, this is Wolves' best start to a season since 1979 and they still possess a striker in Raul Jimenez who has scored 13 goals in 2020. Only Danny Ings and Mohamed Salah have scored more goals in the Premier League.

Crystal Palace are in 8th place and only above their opponents for today's game by virtue of a superior goal difference of just 1 goal. Roy Hodgson continues to defy the critics by picking up points against the odds. The Eagles have only lost 2 of their opening 6 league matches and both of those were hardly surprise defeats to Everton and Chelsea. The club have led for 316 minutes of their total game time this season which is more than any other side in the top flight. It is also officially the club's joint best start to a Premier League campaign having earned 10 points from 6 league matches.

Head-to-head statistics weight heavily against the home side ahead of this game. Wolves have lost 3 of the previous 6 meetings between the two clubs and Crystal Palace have won 3 of their last 5 visits to Molineux. However, it was the home side that won this fixture by a 2-0 score-line back in July and Palace have failed to win any of their 11 top flight matches played on a Friday. I feel Wolves are in a better place in terms of performance levels right now and expect a narrow home win.

Sheffield United vs Manchester City

The Premier League continues its staggered schedule of matches this weekend with the first game of Saturday kicking off at 12:30pm GMT when a relegation zone placed Sheffield United host an inconsistent Manchester City at Bramall Lane. Initially, it looks like a game that could be done and dusted before the game even starts but do the stats suggest otherwise?

Sheffield United remain at the wrong end of the table. Chris Wilder's men are down in 19th place and only off the bottom of the table due to goal difference. Failure to win this game would be the first time since 1991 that the Blades hadn't managed to win any of their opening 7 league matches in a season. It is already currently their worst start to a league season since the 1975/76 campaign. Stretching into last season, it's now 9 league games without a win. On a positive note, there could be a good reason to cheer today with veteran striker Billy Sharp just 1 goal away from 100 league goals for United.

Manchester City might be heavy favourites heading into this game but Pep Guardiola's side aren't exactly at the peak of their powers. The Citizens are down in 13th position with just 8 points from their opening 5 league matches this season. It's their worst start to a league campaign since 2014/15. It is also the worst start to a league campaign that Guardiola himself has ever experienced. Defence clearly remains a problem. City have conceded 8 goals in their first 5 league matches and that's their worst defensive record at this stage of a campaign since 2006/07. That said, scoring goals hasn't been easy either with Sergio Aguero and Kevin De Bruyne having missed a number of games. If they fail to score more than one goal here it will be the fourth successive game that has happened.

OK, so neither of these teams have enjoyed the start to the season they would have hoped for but this is a big opportunity to get a valuable 3 points on the board. Sheffield United haven't managed to beat Manchester City in any of their 8 Premier League meetings. In fact, they've only managed 1 goal against them in those games and that came from Brian Deane back in April 1993! I feel that dour run could continue here but it won't be a walkover. I wouldn't be surprised to see a typical hard luck story for United here which seems to be fast becoming the story of their season.

Burnley vs Chelsea

The usual busy 3pm GMT kick-offs in the Premier League are down to a single game this weekend and that match is Burnley versus Chelsea at Turf Moor. Both teams will probably come into this game admitting that they would have liked to have experienced a better start to their season but they have also both shown they can be tough teams to overcome.

Burnley sit in the precarious lowly position of 18th place after 5 league games with just a single point to their name. Sean Dyche has seen his team's performance levels arguably deserve more but it's just not been happening. The Clarets are without a number of key first team players including Ben Mee, Johann Berg Gudmundsson, Phil Bardsley, and Jack Cork. Defeat here would see the club lose four straight top flight league games for the first time since 2010. It would also mean 5 defeats in their first 6 league matches for the first time since 1927/28. An unwanted record for the club is also the fact they've only won 1 of their last 24 home league games against the labelled "top six" sides.

Chelsea are buzzing after their dominant win over FK Krasnodar in the Champions League in midweek but it's back to the brutal reality of the Premier League here. The Blues are down in 10th place having won 2, drawn 3, and lost 1 of their opening 6 league matches. Frank Lampard has come under fire for this underperformance in the league. There is a chance for the club to keep back-to-back clean sheets in the league under Lampard for the first time. The away defensive record is shambolic though. It's currently 42 goals conceded on the road since the start of last season and that's 3 more than their nearest rivals. If you are superstitious Chelsea fan then you might want to look away now because the team has only managed 3 wins of their 12 Premier League games played on Halloween.

Well, Burnley are against it based on the stats here. The team has only managed 1 win from their 12 Premier League encounters with Chelsea and that was a 3-2 win at Stamford Bridge back in August 2017. Chelsea haven't lost away against Burnley in the top flight since 1973. It's an uphill battle for the Lancashire club and I can see Chelsea meeting expectations with a win here. Not sure they'll keep the clean sheet though.

Liverpool vs West Ham

The final game in the Premier League on Saturday is a 5:30pm GMT kick-off at Anfield between Liverpool and West Ham. Both teams are probably just about where they'd want to be around this early stage in the season. The home side will want to keep up the pressure on league leaders and local rivals Everton whilst the away team will want to keep their encouraging form going.

Liverpool have had a few issues of their own to deal with so far this season despite their current position of 2nd in the table. Injuries to Virgil Van Dijk, Joel Matip, and Fabinho mean that youngster Rhys Williams could well start in the back-line for Jurgen Klopp's men. The Reds have won 28 of their last 29 league games at home. If they avoid defeat here then they will equal the club record of 63 home leagues undefeated which is an incredible statistic. If you are looking for a cheeky anytime scorer bet then Sadio Mane has scored in each of his last four appearances against West Ham. Mohamed Salah is another option having scored 6 goals in 6 appearances against the Hammers.

West Ham were being written off as relegation fodder after a poor start to their campaign. However, David Moyes catching covid has seemingly kick started their season. Make of that what you will. The Hammers are currently in 13th place but are unbeaten in four league against decent opposition in the shape of Wolves, Leicester, Tottenham, and Manchester City. Their record away against reigning champions isn't good at all though having lost 21 of those 24 encounters. it is just 1 defeat from their last 6 away league matches mind.

This is by no means an easy game for Liverpool. West Ham have stepped up their performance levels over recent games and, under Moyes, they do seem to increase their efforts against the higher-placed teams in the league. I do feel Liverpool are vulnerable here with their defensive fragility but their attacking powers alone should get them through this clash.

Aston Villa vs Southampton

OK, so I thought I'd crack on with the previews for tomorrow's games and the first up is the 12pm GMT clash between high-flying Aston Villa and mid-table Southampton at Villa Park. How will the home side react to their hammering against Leeds last weekend? Can the travelling team continue their rise up the league table after a string of positive results?

Aston Villa have been the surprise package of this season so far but last week's 3-0 loss at home to Leeds thanks to a Patrick Bamford hat-trick was a huge dose of reality after 8 league games unbeaten across this season and last. Dean Smith is expected to keep the faith in the players that have given him 4 wins from their opening 5 league games though. The club has come a long way over the past year. They could earn their 5th victory of the season here and that achievement didn't come until their 19th league game last season. The Villains do love playing on a Sunday though having won 3 and drawn 1 of their last 5 matches in the top flight played on a Sunday. Can they put last week behind them and add to their 3 clean sheets achieved already this season?

Southampton began their season slowly with two disappointing defeats but it's been all sunshine and flowers since for Ralph Hasenhuttl's men with 3 wins from their last 4 league games. The 10 points they have earned so far is their best start to a league season since 2014. Their form in this calendar year has only been out-done by Liverpool and Manchester City. It's also just 1 loss from their last 8 away league games for the Saints. In fact, Hasenhuttl's record of earning an average of 1.42 points per game is the best by any Southampton manager in the Premier League era.

It's tough to call when two teams like this meet. Aston Villa had been the in-form side but last week's loss has rocked them. It's also cast doubt on how they react to such a result. I think we can expect to see a more cautious approach from the home side as they look to simply avoid back-to-back defeats but Southampton know how to get points on the road under Hasenhuttl. I have a feeling the Saints could steal all 3 points in this one in a narrow and dour encounter.

Newcastle vs Everton

It's a packed Premier League fixture schedule in Sunday with matches coming our way all day. Next up, it's the 2pm GMT kick-off where lower mid-table Newcastle host league leaders and early season pace setters Everton at St James' Park. Can the visiting team build on their positive start to the season with another win here or will the home side have something to say about that?

Newcastle are finding themselves struggling for consistency at this early stage of the season. The club is down in 14th place but still 7 points outside the relegation zone. It's only 1 win in their last 7 league games at home with no clean sheets kept during that period either. An average of 2.4 goals have also been conceded during that run. Worryingly for Steve Bruce, his team have notched up a division-worst of 14 shots on goal so far. To make matters worse, not only have Newcastle not won any of their last 5 league games played on a Sunday but Bruce has also only managed to get 3 wins in 22 attempts against Everton as a manager.

Everton are experiencing a slightly more positive league season so far. Carlo Ancelotti has guided his new look team to the top of the Premier League. It's two league games without a win now but they've faced stern opposition in Liverpool at home and then Southampton away. So far, it's been their best start to a league campaign since their 2016/17 campaign. The goals of Dominic Calvert-Lewin have been key but he fired a blank in their last outing so it'll be interesting to see how he plays in this game. Surely, this is a game they'll be expecting to win. Missing James Rodriguez will be a big loss but they have enough quality elsewhere to ensure it doesn't hurt their chances too badly.

The head-to-head meetings between these two teams heavily favour the visiting side. Newcastle have only been able to win 2 of their last 15 matches against Everton. Both of those wins did come at home but it's a very one-sided record. I just feel that the away side have the better form, more experienced manager, and superior quality of players. This is a game that Everton must be looking to win if they want to keep alive their chances of stepping up to the next level this season.

Manchester United vs Arsenal

Manchester United sits in the disappointing 15^th spot in the table, and the fans definitely cannot be satisfied with 7 points from five matches. Old Trafford is still waiting for the first victory, as the Red Devils picked up just a point from three occasions at their pitch. The 6:1 defeat against Tottenham is still fresh, but since then, the hosts improved their game. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side is undefeated in the last four games, and they missed the chance to win just once. It was in the previous round in the clash against Chelsea. United celebrated two vital wins in the Champions League, first against PSG at Parc des Princes, while the home side trashed RB Leipzig 5:0 at this venue. If they can replicate the Champions League form to the domestic competitions, Manchester United can improve their place in the table.

Similar to their opponents, Arsenal also failed to impress so far in the Premier League. Pierre Emerick Aubameyang and the lads are two points ahead of their rivals, while they played one match more. The Gunners tied two defeats in the domestic campaign, and in both games, they failed to find the back of the net. On the other hand, the visitors have been successful in the Europa League so far, as they celebrated twice. They were better than Rapid Vienna in the opening round, while Arsenal booked an easy 3:0 win over Dundalk on Thursday. However, another tough challenge is ahead of them, and the away side needs to get back on the winning track.

Full-Time Winner Odds & Prediction

Manchester United has improved lately, and they expect this derby match with much higher confidence. They can transfer the Champions League momentum to this game and celebrate an important victory.

Goals Market Prediction

Head to head clashes between these two sides have always been very exciting. This one shouldn’t be much different, and we expect to see goals in both nets.

Manchester United vs Arsenal

The big game of the weekend is coming up at 4:30pm GMT on Sunday when Manchester United face Arsenal at Old Trafford. It's fair to say that neither of these sides are being considered as potential title challengers even with the league wide open but both will be keen to grab all 3 points here to put themselves in amongst the front runners at this early stage of the season.

Manchester United had a slow start to their campaign with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer coming under heavy criticism. However, results have picked up with 3 wins and 1 draw from their last 4 competitive matches but the club remain down in 15th place. United will be without Anthony Martial has he completes his suspension. One worrying statistic for the Red Devils is that they've only taken 1 point from 3 home league games so far this season and it's now no home league win in their last 5 attempts stretching into last season. The club is currently in the midst of its worst defensive start to a season in 60 years after conceding 12 goals in 5 league games. 

Arsenal will feel this is a game they can win. Mikel Arteta's side are down in 12th position after losing back-to-back league games and having lost 3 of their last 4 league matches. It's been a tough run for the Gunners who have faced Liverpool, Manchester City, and Leicester during that run. That old wretched away form that has dogged them for years has returned with the club now having lost 6 of their last 9 away games in the league. Defensive problems plague this Arsenal team right now with just 1 clean sheet kept in their last 11 league games. To make matters worse, it's also no clean sheets kept at Old Trafford since 2009.

I never thought I'd say this but the statistics appear to back Manchester United quite convincingly ahead of this game. The Red Devils are winless against Arsenal in their last four league meetings but they are undefeated against the Gunners in their last 13 home league games. I feel they've just entered a purple patch of results and I'm still not sure Arteta is sure what his best team is at the moment with defensive frailties still evident.

Tottenham vs Brighton

The last game of Sunday's action in the Premier League is kicking off at 7:15pm GMT when Tottenham host Brighton at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. A lot of attention has been focused on Jose Mourinho's Instagram after the midweek defeat to Royal Antwerp in the Europa League but will the travelling side punish the home team even further with a win here?

Tottenham looked to finally be getting somewhere under manager Mourinho but issues appear to be coming to the fore again. It's 5 league games unbeaten for Spurs with the club now in 8th place but the midweek rant from the Portuguese manager saw a number of first team players called out for under-performing with Dele Alli being the standout name in the firing line. Still, it's back to league action this weekend and the club are buzzing on that front with their current form. Home form is an issue though with the club on the verge of going four home league games without a win for the first time since 2013. Harry Kane and Son Heung-min have taken most of the plaudits with Kane in particular getting a goal or assist in 13 of the 16 league goals the team have scored.

Brighton aren't enjoying quite the same rich form as their opponents for this game in the league. Graham Potter's side are down in 16th position in the table having won just 1 of their opening 6 league matches so far. The Seagulls will be without the suspended Lewis Dunk after his sending off against Crystal Palace. Away form has been a bit of a saviour for Albion though with the club only losing 1 of their last 10 away league games. That said, they have lost 16 of their last 18 away league games against the established top six sides. Set pieces are an obvious weakness for the team with 7 of the 12 goals they've conceded in the league coming in that manner.

You'd have to be a brave individual to bet against this Tottenham side in the league right now given the current form of Kane and Son. Backing a home win in this one would be the blatant choice even if Brighton were performing better. I think it's also worth considering an anytime scorer bet with Kane or Son due to their stunning performances at the current time.

Fulham vs West Brom

The first of the Monday night double header in the Premier League comes from Craven Cottage where newly promoted sides Fulham and West Brom will go head-to-head at 5:30pm GMT in what is already being touted as a relegation six-pointer. Although, it might well not even matter who wins this come the end of the season because both sides could be facing the drop at this rate.

Fulham sit second from bottom in the league table ahead of this home game. Scott Parker has seen his team lose 5 of their first 6 league matches and that only time when they didn't lose was a 1-1 draw against Sheffield United... who sit just one place above them in the table. The Cottagers have lost all three home league games this season and have only scored once in those matches. Only Fulham and Sheffield United have failed to keep a clean sheet so far this season. Parker himself actually has fond memories of games against West Brom as a player having only lost 1 of his 11 clashes with them on the pitch.

West Brom appear to be starting to adapt to life in the top flight of English football having lost just 1 of their last 4 league matches. Unfortunately, the positive upturn in form that has seen the team move to 17th place in the table has been overshadowed by manager Slaven Bilic's rage at centre back Ahmed Hegazi being loaned out for the duration of the season behind his back. The Baggies also remain on the cusp of an unwanted record. If they fail to win this game then it'll be the first time since their 2004/05 that they have failed to win any of their first 7 league games of the season.

All of the head-to-head statistics suggest Fulham have every reason to feel confident heading into this game. The London club are undefeated in their last 9 meetings with West Brom. On top of that, the visiting side in this match have failed to win away at Fulham in the league since October 1967. Is it a record begging to be broken? I'm not sure. I can't see beyond the draw.

Leeds vs Leicester

In the final game of this round of Premier League matches we see Leeds versus Leicester in a fascinating clash at 8pm GMT from Elland Road. Both of these teams have adopted a high energy attacking game so I can see this being one to watch and there is an anticipation that we could see the goals fly in as these two sides go toe-to-toe for 90 minutes.

Leeds have embraced the top flight of English football with a courageous and intense style. It's been expected by those of us that saw Marcelo Bielsa operate in the Championship over a 46-game season. The Whites are in 12th place but only stand 3 points outside the top four. Captain Liam Cooper returns to action after his groin injury but Kalvin Phillips is still out. The winning mentality remains within this squad with them having won 15 of their last 20 league matches. Unfortunately, the club have only kept one clean sheet in their last 20 Premier League home games. Interestingly, striker Patrick Bamford grabbed a hat-trick last week taking him to 6 goals scored after 6 league games. Only Eric Cantona has matched that record in the Premier League era for the club and that was back in 1992/93.

Leicester are once again in and around the Champions League qualification chat at this early stage. Brendan Rodgers has turned the term "established top six" on its head. The Foxes are in 8th place and could move to 2nd place in the table with a win. Victory here would be 5 wins from their opening 7 league games and that's the first time that will have happened in the top flight for the club. A win would also equal the club record of four straight away league wins. That being said, Leicester have never won a Premier League game played on a Monday with 3 draws and 9 defeats. Jamie Vardy will be one to watch with all of his last 8 league goals coming away from home.

Well, what a clash this could be. I'm very excited to see how this game pans out. I feel Leeds are a match for anyone in the Premier League but it could be games like this where the difference in quality begins to show a little. The absence of Phillips is a big blow but the performance last week against Aston Villa was astonishing. I simply can't separate these two sides and even though I'm slightly favouring Leicester I do think a draw seems to be better value.
