Manchester City are still perfect through seven league matches, Brighton are scoring for fun, and a few teams near the bottom are already making life unnecessarily difficult for themselves.

Draw $3.50<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/use><\/svg><\/span>\n <\/div>\n \n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
\n

Ipswich have been entertaining, if a little too generous at the back, while Forest have managed only five league goals so far.<\/p>\n

That sounds like a recipe for a cagey Friday-nighter with just enough chaos to keep it interesting.<\/p>\n

Score Prediction: Ipswich Town 1-1 Nottingham Forest<\/strong>

\n

Villa have found a groove after their messy start, with Johan Manzambi becoming a proper nuisance between the lines.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately for them, City have seven wins from seven and Erling Haaland has eight league goals already.<\/p>\n

Villa Park will make it awkward, but City should find a way.<\/p>\n

Score Prediction: Aston Villa 1-2 Manchester City<\/strong>

\n

Fulham finally got their first league win under Alvaro Arbeloa against Hull, courtesy of Alex Iwobi.<\/p>\n

Coventry will fancy their chances at home after making Spurs work on Monday night, but neither side looks built for a stress-free afternoon.<\/p>\n

\n

Arsenal have quietly put themselves right back in the title conversation, while Everton\u2019s front-foot press has been impressive without always producing the finishing touch.<\/p>\n

The Gunners have Bayern Munich on Wednesday, so the team sheet matters, but their depth should be enough at home.<\/p>\n

Score Prediction: Arsenal 2-0 Everton<\/strong>

\n

Chelsea arrive with some momentum after Pedro Neto\u2019s brace and a long-overdue clean sheet at Everton.<\/p>\n

Spurs did beat Coventry, but they still look capable of turning any match into a slightly frantic game of pinball. Chelsea to edge the derby.<\/p>\n

\n

This has the makings of the weekend\u2019s chaos fixture.<\/p>\n

Brighton have scored 23 league goals and kept four straight clean sheets, while Liverpool needed a 4-3 midweek Champions League win over Villarreal.<\/p>\n

Anfield helps, but Brighton are travelling far too well to ignore.<\/p>\n

Score Prediction: Liverpool 2-2 Brighton & Hove Albion<\/strong>

\n

Palace were flattened 5-0 by Brighton last time out, while Newcastle have now lost three of their past four league matches.<\/p>\n

Neither defence inspires a great deal of confidence here, which points towards a scrappy draw rather than a classic.<\/p>\n

Score Prediction: Crystal Palace 1-1 Newcastle United<\/strong>

Bryan Mbeumo to Score $2.80<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/use><\/svg><\/span>\n <\/div>\n \n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
\n

United have had plenty of ball and territory this season without enough points to show for it.<\/p>\n

Bryan Mbeumo remains the obvious difference-maker, with four league goals already, but Bournemouth\u2019s Tavernier-Evanilson combination is more than capable of making this uncomfortable.<\/p>\n

Score Prediction: Manchester United 2-1 Bournemouth<\/strong>

\n

Hull\u2019s fast start has faded into five matches without a win, while Brentford remain difficult to put away despite losing to Liverpool last weekend.<\/p>\n

The Tigers will go direct and make a mess of it; Brentford have enough quality to nick it late.<\/p>\n

Score Prediction: Hull City 1-2 Brentford<\/strong>

\n

Sunderland have made five errors leading directly to goals already this season, and Kevin Danso\u2019s red card against Bournemouth leaves their defence even more worth monitoring.<\/p>\n

Leeds have been hard to beat and Dominic Calvert-Lewin scored in the draw with United.<\/p>\n

Score Prediction: Sunderland 1-2 Leeds United<\/strong>
\nPotential Goal Scorer: Dominic Calvert-Lewin<\/strong><\/p>\n
