Chelsea and Manchester United are both trying to shake off ugly losses, City need to respond after Villa ended their perfect start, and Spurs arrive with a bit of wind in their sails after winning at Stamford Bridge.<\/p>\n\n\n

Chelsea were flat against Spurs and now lose Cole Palmer to suspension, while United\u2019s 3-0 home defeat to Bournemouth did not exactly scream \u201ceverything is under control\u201d.<\/p>\n

Stamford Bridge feels like the better place to bounce back, but it should be nervy.<\/p>\n

\n

Hull got a draw against Brentford but remain hard to trust when the game opens up.<\/p>\n

Ipswich have enough quality to cause problems in transition and should get chances, although neither defence is exactly sending out a \u201cnothing to see here\u201d message.<\/p>\n

\n

City finally lost at Villa, but a home response was always likely to be on the agenda.<\/p>\n

Brighton are third, have scored freely this season and will not arrive to park the bus.<\/p>\n

That should make it entertaining, and also give Erling Haaland some space to enjoy himself.<\/p>\n

\n

Coventry have been competitive without getting enough reward lately, while Sunderland\u2019s 0-0 draw with Leeds was hardly a festival of attacking invention.<\/p>\n

It feels like a game that could come alive late once both sides realise a point does nobody any favours.<\/p>\n

Score Prediction: Coventry City 1-1 Sunderland<\/strong>

\n

Neither side found much separation last weekend, with Brentford held by Hull and Forest sharing the points at Ipswich.<\/p>\n

This looks like one of those matches where both teams will fancy it, then spend 90 minutes cancelling each other out.<\/p>\n

\n

Bournemouth walked into Old Trafford and left with a 3-0 win, which is usually a decent way to build confidence.<\/p>\n

Leeds are organised and difficult to roll, but the Cherries have enough pace and threat in the final third to make home advantage count.<\/p>\n

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

Tottenham Hotspur (-1.5) $2.30<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/use><\/svg><\/span>\n <\/div>\n \n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
\n

Spurs deserved plenty of credit for their 2-0 win at Chelsea, even if an own goal helped get them moving.<\/p>\n

Palace were beaten 2-0 by Newcastle and look short of a reliable route to goals. Tottenham should have enough control at home.<\/p>\n

Score Prediction: Tottenham Hotspur 2-0 Crystal Palace<\/strong>

\n

Villa have now beaten Newcastle and Manchester City in successive league matches, so the mood around Villa Park is considerably healthier than it was a few weeks ago.<\/p>\n

Fulham are capable of making this awkward, but Nicolas Jackson is flying and Villa have momentum.<\/p>\n

Score Prediction: Aston Villa 2-0 Fulham<\/strong>

\n

This is the big one.<\/p>\n

Arsenal have matched City stride for stride at the top, while Liverpool have found their feet after a patchy start and just beat Brighton 2-0.<\/p>\n

Expect plenty of quality, a fair bit of midfield wrestling, and not much room for either side to breathe.<\/p>\n

Score Prediction: Liverpool 1-1 Arsenal<\/strong>

\n

Newcastle were professional in their 2-0 win at Palace, while Everton have lost consecutive games without scoring.<\/p>\n

The Toffees will try to make it scrappy, but Newcastle should have too much energy and pressure around St James\u2019 Park.<\/p>\n

Score Prediction: Newcastle United 2-0 Everton<\/strong>
\nPotential Goal Scorer: Yoane Wissa<\/strong><\/p>\n
