Premier League Predictions: Looking bleak for Everton; Man Utd bounce back in style; Tottenham suffer at Chelsea again; Liverpool rout
After a cracking start to the new Premier League season, which included a fair few eye-catching results, we are back at it again this weekend and it’s not good news for the likes of Tottenham, Leeds and Everton in our latest TEAMtalk Predictions.
There were certainly a few curve-ball scorelines last time out, with Erik ten Hag losing his first competitive game as Manchester United boss, while Liverpool could only manage a draw at newly-promoted Fulham.
This weekend throws up some more teasing encounters as Aston Villa and Everton look to bounce back from opening defeats in the Saturday lunchtime kick-off.
Arsenal, Manchester City, Leeds, Newcastle and Bournemouth will all be looking to build on wins in the 3pm starts.
There’s a tricky trip to Brentford for United, while Sunday’s games include a return to Premier League football for the City Ground as Nottingham Forest host West Ham and top-of-the-table Tottenham head to Chelsea.
The long weekend concludes with Liverpool looking to notch all three points at home to Crystal Palace.
