It looks acceptable to beryllium different pivotal play successful the Premier League with rubric rivals Liverpool and Arsenal facing disconnected successful northbound London and winless Crystal Palace taking connected Tottenham.

The standout fixture is without uncertainty Arsenal’s intriguing clash with aboriginal league leaders Liverpool, who person enjoyed a superb commencement to the play nether caller brag Arne Slot.

Arsenal person impressed, too, but they suffered a daze decision to Bournemouth past weekend and volition beryllium without respective cardinal players for the sojourn of Liverpool.

Elsewhere, bottom-placed Wolves volition look to prime up their archetypal triumph astatine Brighton portion breathtaking Chelsea play big to imaginable top-four rivals Newcastle United.

As ever, Betfair Ambassador Alan Shearer previews each the enactment for Metro…

Leicester v Nottingham Forest

It was a large effect for Leicester past week, coming from 2-0 down. The mode they changed things erstwhile Abdul Fatawu came connected was impressive. He was magnificent.

Confidence volition beryllium immense determination astatine the minute, and I was somewhat disquieted astir Leicester earlier successful the play but from what I’ve seen successful the past fewer weeks, I deliberation they whitethorn person capable to enactment up.

They person large acquisition successful the broadside with nary much truthful than Jamie Vardy, who’s been astir the block, knows what it’s about, inactive scoring goals and, winding the fans up. I emotion his cognition and it’s superb that he’s inactive playing astatine his age.

In presumption of going up against Forest this play though, who’ve had a large commencement to the season, they’re successful for a truly pugnacious game. I’ll spell for an distant win.

Aston Villa v Bournemouth

The euphoria of the Champions League affected Aston Villa going into their adjacent league crippled past time, truthful they volition request to debar that this weekend.

The triumph against Bologna earlier this week was different unbelievable atmosphere, and everyone was up for it astatine Villa Park.

They’ll person to beryllium wary of being level again successful this, but they are astatine home, and I’d expect them to instrumentality the points against Bournemouth. I haven’t forgotten the effect Bournemouth pulled retired past play vs Arsenal, but Villa Park is simply a fortress.

Brentford v Ipswich

Everton utilized each their acquisition against Ipswich past week. It was a tactical masterclass from Sean Dyche. They benignant of bushed Ipswich up if you similar and the know-how to triumph a crippled similar that showed with the acquisition that they have.

It wasn’t a bully show from Ipswich astatine each and they’ll person to amended massively. I don’t spot them having capable to past successful this league and I don’t spot them having capable going to Brentford either.

Home win.

Brighton v Wolves

It was a large effect and show from Brighton against Newcastle. Danny Welbeck scored his goal, went disconnected injured and we anticipation he’s good due to the fact that helium has been fantastic successful beforehand of extremity this season. They’ve had a truly affirmative start.

It’ll beryllium a pugnacious crippled this 1 due to the fact that Wolves offered a small spot of anticipation past week; anticipation for their fans and anticipation for the manager with the show that they gave against Man City.

However, Wolves are distant from home, nether unit and with Brighton getting the effect against Newcastle, I deliberation Brighton volition triumph this 1 erstwhile again.

Man City v Southampton

With Southampton throwing distant a 2-0 pb astatine location past week, you tin conscionable ideate the harm it does for the content and assurance of everyone involved.

The past crippled you request is to spell to the champions, a immense shot nine with a genius of a manager.

It would instrumentality a brave oregon anserine antheral to foretell that Southampton volition get immoderate points astatine Man City. Home triumph for me.

Everton v Fulham

I mentioned Everton’s experienced triumph implicit Ipswich past week, and whilst this volition beryllium a tougher test, I deliberation it could beryllium a draw, and that wouldn’t beryllium atrocious for some teams.

Fulham are coming disconnected a decision to Villa, but they missed a punishment astatine 1-1 and the crippled whitethorn person played retired differently.

Draw astatine Goodison Park.

Chelsea v Newcastle

Newcastle tin get thing astatine Stamford Bridge with different week connected the grooming crushed and nary midweek game.

Eddie Howe volition person plentifulness of clip to enactment connected their finishing and last shot this week and if they tin amended connected that, with the assurance of Anthony Gordon signing a caller contract, they tin spell to Chelsea and get a constituent which volition hopefully kick-start their season.

Chelsea impressed maine astatine Liverpool and are showing signs of progress, truthful I americium expecting this to beryllium a choky crippled connected Sunday. Draw.

Crystal Palace v Tottenham

It feels similar immoderate crippled is simply a large inquire for Crystal Palace with the signifier that they’re successful astatine the moment.

They can’t look to score, the manager is nether pressure, and it surely hasn’t gone arsenic anyone would’ve liked oregon hoped.

Tottenham are beardown successful guardant positions, scoring different 4 past play and I deliberation they’ll person capable for Crystal Palace and instrumentality the 3 points astatine Selhurst Park.

West Ham v Man United

This is pugnacious to foretell due to the fact that of the unpredictability of Man United. Can they footwear connected and get different effect similar past weekend? I fishy not. The unit whitethorn beryllium close backmost connected them this weekend.

West Ham, with the ambiance astatine the London Stadium whitethorn person capable to instrumentality the points connected Sunday conscionable arsenic they did successful their past location crippled against Manchester United past season.

I americium going to prime West Ham to win.

Arsenal v Liverpool

We person a immense crippled connected Sunday astatine the Emirates, and If Liverpool were to triumph and summation their spread to 7 points implicit Arsenal, that would beryllium immense aft 9 games.

I was connected commentary successful the Champions League connected Tuesday, and it was a bully ambiance astatine the Emirates.

When Arsenal didn’t people successful the archetypal 15 minutes, they stayed patient, the fans were patient, and it was massively important to get that effect due to the fact that they needed to bounce back.

When you person a pugnacious effect astatine the weekend, you’re hopeless to get a crippled 3 days aboriginal due to the fact that you request to rectify things, which Arsenal yet did.

We said past week that Liverpool volition look a immense trial successful Chelsea and they’re astir to look an adjacent bigger trial successful Arsenal, distant from home, which makes it adjacent much difficult.

However, immoderate tests they’ve had already this play they’ve passed, and don’t beryllium amazed if they walk this 1 too.

I’d beryllium shocked if Curtis Jones wasn’t the archetypal sanction connected the squad sheet. It would beryllium hard to recognize if you enactment successful the show similar helium did past week, get antheral of the lucifer and the winner, to beryllium past near retired the pursuing week. I’d beryllium amazed if helium wasn’t successful the XI.

I’m going to beryllium connected the obstruction present though and say it’ll beryllium a people draw successful a fantastic crippled astatine the Emirates.
