Game Week 10 is here, with Arsenal looking to stay top, Manchester City chasing a response and plenty of sides desperate to head into the international break with three points.
Everton nicked a valuable win at Newcastle, while Coventry put three past Sunderland to give themselves a bit of breathing room.
The Sky Blues will fancy a scrap, but Everton have more control in midfield and should find a way through at home.
Score Prediction: Everton 2-1 Coventry City
Potential Goal Scorer: Thierno Barry
Leeds are now winless in five after their loss at Bournemouth, while Spurs have quietly put together three straight league wins.
Elland Road is never a relaxing afternoon, but Tottenham’s confidence is growing, which is dangerous when the opposition is already wobbling.
Score Prediction: Leeds United 1-2 Tottenham Hotspur
Potential Goal Scorer: Mathys Tel
Fulham earned a draw at Villa Park, while Newcastle’s loss to Everton left them looking a little short on rhythm.
The visitors also have suspension and injury concerns to manage, so this could be a good time for Fulham to make Craven Cottage count.
Score Prediction: Fulham 2-1 Newcastle United
Potential Goal Scorer: Alex Iwobi
Arsenal went to Anfield, won 1-0 and moved top.
Not a bad little weekend.
Hull have been competitive and drew 2-2 with Ipswich last time out, but this feels like a tough spot for them against a side that has become very comfortable winning ugly when required.
Score Prediction: Arsenal 2-0 Hull City
Potential Goal Scorer: Viktor Gyökeres
Manchester City have now lost two straight league matches, which is usually enough to trigger a week of overreactions.
Forest are struggling too, though, and City still have the ultimate cheat code when the ball lands in the box.
Score Prediction: Nottingham Forest 0-2 Manchester City
Potential Goal Scorer: Erling Haaland
Ipswich have been entertaining but remain a little too open, as that 2-2 draw with Hull showed.
Bournemouth arrive after a comfortable win over Leeds and have more than enough pace to expose any loose defending.
Marcus Tavernier has five league goals already and looks the obvious danger man.
Score Prediction: Ipswich Town 1-2 Bournemouth
Potential Goal Scorer: Marcus Tavernier
Palace have lost back-to-back games without scoring, while Liverpool’s defeat to Arsenal was a reminder that good build-up play is not much use if nobody finishes the move.
This could be tight and a touch awkward, but Liverpool have too much quality to leave Selhurst Park empty-handed.
Score Prediction: Crystal Palace 0-1 Liverpool
Potential Goal Scorer: Florian Wirtz
Sunderland are bottom after losing 3-1 at Coventry, while Chelsea made light work of Manchester United in a 2-0 win.
João Pedro remains a fitness concern, but the Blues have other routes to goal and should have too much quality for a Sunderland side badly needing the international break.
Score Prediction: Sunderland 0-2 Chelsea
Potential Goal Scorer: Morgan Rogers
Brighton’s win at City was another reminder that they are not just here to make up the numbers.
Brentford were solid in beating Forest, but the Seagulls have been scoring freely and should create plenty at the Amex, even with a few injury concerns hanging over the squad.
Score Prediction: Brighton & Hove Albion 2-1 Brentford
Potential Goal Scorer: Pascal Groß
United have lost their last two league matches without scoring, which is not ideal when Villa roll into town with Nicolas Jackson finding form.
Villa were held by Fulham last weekend but remain a serious transition threat, and United look far too easy to play through at the moment.
Score Prediction: Manchester United 1-2 Aston Villa
Potential Goal Scorer: Nicolas Jackson
