Brentford will take on Manchester United in the Premier League at the weekend, and they will look to bounce back strongly. The Red Devils have failed to win three of their five Premier League matches so far, and they are under pressure to get things right.
Ruben Amorim’s men will certainly fancy their chances against a vulnerable Manchester United team. The last time these two sides met, Brentford picked up a win at home. They will look to repeat that result here. Meanwhile, Manchester United have picked up two wins from the last three matches, including the victory over Chelsea.
The Red Devils will look to build on it and put together a winning run now. Both teams have been quite vulnerable this season, and this is likely to be a contest. 20 goals have been scored in the last six meetings between these two teams, and this one is likely to be an open game with a fair few chances.
Probable Bet: Over 2.5 goals/ both teams to score
Chelsea host Brighton & Hove Albion in the Premier League on Saturday, and they will look to get back to winning ways. The Blues are without a win in their last two league matches, and they are under a lot of pressure. Enzo Maresca’s men have picked up just two wins from five top-flight games this term.
Meanwhile, Brighton & Hove Albion are coming into this game on the back of just one win from five Premier League games thus far. Both teams will be desperate to bounce back strongly. Brighton have done quite well against Chelsea, with two victories against them in their last two meetings. They will certainly fancy their chances against a struggling Chelsea team.
21 goals have been scored in the last two matches between these two teams, and this one is likely to be another high-scoring affair. Neither side will want to sit back and defend. This will be an open game.
Probable Bet: Over 2.5 goals/ both teams to score
Crystal Palace host Liverpool in the Premier League at the weekend, and they will look to continue their unbeaten run here. The Eagles have been very difficult to beat, and they are unbeaten in 17 matches across all competitions.
Meanwhile, Liverpool are in impressive form as well with five wins in a row in the Premier League. The reigning champions will look to grind out another victory here, but this will be a very tough outing for them.
Hugo Ekitike is suspended, and some of the players will be tired from the midweek clash against Southampton. It remains to be seen whether they can put on a strong performance here. Matches between these two sides are quite evenly matched with the last six producing two wins each and the other two matches ending in a draw.
It will not be a surprise if the two teams cancell each other out once again. The last two meetings between these two teams have ended in a draw after normal time.
Probable Bet: Draw
Leeds United host Bournemouth in the Premier League at the weekend, and they will look to build on the win over Wolves. The Whites ended their four-match winless run with a victory over Wolves, and they will be heading into this game with confidence.
On the other hand, Bournemouth have done quite well. They are unbeaten in four of their last five matches in all competitions. The Cherries are fourth in the Premier League table, and they will certainly fancy their chances of getting a good result here. The last time these two sides met, Bournemouth picked up a 4-1 victory.
A double chance on the away team would be ideal here. Andoni Iraola has a better team, and the Cherries have the confidence and momentum with them as well.
Probable Bet: Bournemouth win or draw
Manchester City host Burnley in the Premier League on Saturday, and they will look to continue their recent resurgence with a victory. The Citizens have picked up three wins and a draw from their last four matches, and they will be confident of getting a good result here.
Pep Guardiola’s men are the better team on paper, and they should be able to get a comprehensive victory. City have picked up six wins out of six against Burnley, and they will be full of confidence heading into this game.
Burnley are without a win in their last four matches in all competitions, and this will be a difficult outing for them. They will look to shut out the opposition and take a defensive approach here, but Manchester City have enough attacking depth to grind out a result.
Probable Bet: Man City win
Nottingham Forest take on Sunderland in the Premier League at the weekend, and they will look to get their stuttering campaign back on track. The Tricky Trees are without a win in their last six matches in all competitions with three defeats. It will be interesting to see if they can bounce back strongly. Ange Postecoglou’s charges are under tremendous pressure and they are lacking in confidence.
Meanwhile, Sunderland have picked up two wins and two draws from their last six outings. The Black Cats will feel that this is a golden opportunity for them to get something out of this contest against a vulnerable Nottingham Forest team. They have made themselves difficult to beat and this will be a close contest.
A double chance on the away side could be ideal. Sunderland are unbeaten in five of their last six matches against Nottingham Forest, with four wins in that time.
Probable Bet: Sunderland win or draw
Tottenham host Wolves in the Premier League at the weekend, and they will look to continue their impressive start to the season with a victory here. Spurs are unbeaten in five of the last six matches in all competitions. They will be full of confidence and momentum heading into this game.
On the other hand, Wolves have lost every match in the Premier League so far. They are one of the favourites to go down. The Black Country did manage to bounce back with a victory over Everton in the EFL Cup during the midweek, and it will be interesting to see if they can put on a strong showing here.
Either way, Tottenham are the better team, and they will be expected to grind out a victory here. Wolves have picked up four wins from their last six matches against Tottenham, but the North Londoners are a much-improved side under Thomas Frank, and past results should have no bearing on this game.
Probable Bet: Tottenham win
Aston Villa will host Fulham in the Premier League this weekend, and they will look to continue their impressive run of form over the West London side. The Villans have picked up six wins out of six against Fulham, and they will be confident here.
However, Unai Emery’s charges will need to raise their performance levels. Aston Villa are yet to pick up a single victory in the Premier League, and they are 18th in the standings.
On the other hand, Fulham have picked up four wins from their last five matches in all competitions. The Cottagers will feel that this is a golden opportunity for them to grind out a good result against Aston Villa. They will look to fix their poor record against the West Midlands club. A double chance on the away side could be ideal.
Probable Bet: Fulham win or draw
Newcastle United host Arsenal in a blockbuster Sunday clash, and this should be a cracking contest. Both teams will fancy their chances against each other. Arsenal are undoubtedly the better team, and they will be the favourites.
However, one cannot underestimate Newcastle United at home. Eddie Howe has a quality team, and the Magpies have shown that they can trouble the best teams on their day. Matches between these two teams are often filled with goals, and this one is unlikely to be any different.
The last time these two sides met, Arsenal picked up a 3-2 win. Meanwhile, the last six matches between these two sides have seen both teams pick up three wins each. This will be a close contest and a high-scoring game could be on the cards.
Probable Bet: Over 2.5 goals
Everton host West Ham United in the Premier League on Monday, and they will look to bounce back from two consecutive defeats against Liverpool and Wolves. On the other hand, West Ham are coming into this game on the back of five defeats from their last six matches in all competitions.
Both teams are under pressure but Everton are the better team. The Toffees will certainly look to grind out a positive result here. Despite the defeat against Liverpool in their last game, David Moyes’s men put on a strong fight and they should be able to trouble West Ham.
The visitors are completely lacking in form and confidence right now. This will be a difficult outing for them, and they are likely to crash to get another defeat away from home.
Probable Bet: Everton win
