Brentford vs. Bournemouth (Saturday, 3.00pm)

After being on the opposite end of 2-1 scorelines in Premier League gameweek 10, Brentford and Bournemouth prepare for battle at the Gtech Community Stadium on Saturday afternoon.
The Bees were stung by West London rivals Fulham in a manic Monday night battle last time out, while Andoni Iraola's men defied the odds to dent Manchester City's title aspirations.
We say: Brentford 2-2 Bournemouth
Goals galore at the Gtech Community Stadium has been the theme of the 2024-25 season for Brentford, who are seldom outfought on their own patch and make nets ripple for fun in West London.
A Bournemouth side struggling for consistency on the road should therefore fail to replicate their home heroics against Arsenal and City, but Iraola's in-form troops are more than good enough for a point, especially given the hosts' defensive vulnerabilities.

Crystal Palace vs. Fulham (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Two Premier League teams vying to claim all three points and enter the international break on a high meet at Selhurst Park on Saturday, as Crystal Palace play host to Fulham.
Neither side could be separated in home and away encounters last season, with a goalless stalemate played out at Selhurst Park in September 2023 followed by a 1-1 draw at Craven Cottage seven months later.
We say: Crystal Palace 1-1 Fulham
There has been little to separate these two teams in recent years and another closely-fought contest could be on the cards at Selhurst Park, potentially a low-scoring one as only 11 goals have been scored across Fulham's five away matches this season.
The Cottagers could arguably be considered as slight favourites for this one considering their early-season form and recent away record against Palace, but we can see the Eagles claiming at least a share of the spoils on this occasion.

West Ham vs. Everton (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Two under pressure managers lock horns in a must-win fixture for both in the Premier League on Saturday, when Sean Dyche takes his Everton side to the capital to face Julen Lopetegui's West Ham United at the London Stadium.
The Hammers' boss is the current bookies' favourite to be the next Premier League manager to leave, after a humbling defeat at the City Ground last week.
We say: West Ham United 2-1 Everton
West Ham's only positive results of late have been in the league at home, while Everton are notoriously among the worst travellers in the Premier League.
Handing Southampton their first win of the season last week shows that no matter the form of their opponents, Everton rarely look convincing, and against opponents they have struggled against in recent years, another concerning result could be on the cards that may ease the pressure on Lopetegui in the home dugout.

Wolves vs. Southampton (Saturday, 3.00pm)

After leaving their hosts behind in the Premier League's winless club, Southampton can build up a four-point lead over Wolverhampton Wanderers in Saturday's basement battle at Molineux.
Russell Martin's men made it 10th time lucky in the 2024-25 season by edging out Everton 1-0 last weekend, while Wolves played out a four-goal thriller with Crystal Palace.
We say: Wolverhampton Wanderers 2-1 Southampton
The mood in the Southampton dressing room may be the most buoyant it has been all season, but the Saints are now pitting their wits against a Wolves side who never have any problems in the final third; the hosts are on an 11-game scoring streak across all competitions.
As the visitors lack the genuine firepower necessary to take advantage of the hosts' defensive failings, we can envisage O'Neil's men finally following in their visitors' footsteps from last weekend and earning their first league win of the season.

Brighton vs. Man City (Saturday, 5.30pm)

Seeking to avoid losing four games in a row for the first time under Pep Guardiola, Manchester City travel to the Amex Stadium to face Brighton & Hove Albion in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon.
The Seagulls are also bidding to return to winning ways after suffering defeat in their last two games against Liverpool in the EFL Cup and Premier League.
We say: Brighton & Hove Albion 3-3 Manchester City
Could a Premier League classic could be on the cards? These two attack-minded teams are sure to pose a regular threat in the final third, while they also look vulnerable at the back. Indeed, Brighton have conceded more goals against Man City (40) than they have against any other PL opponent, while the Citizens have kept just five clean sheets in 17 competitive games so far this season.
Man City can ill-afford to slip further behind leaders Liverpool, or allow Arsenal to close the gap to the summit, but Guardiola's jaded squad is not performing at its best at present and they may be forced to share the spoils with the Seagulls on this occasion.

Liverpool vs. Aston Villa (Saturday, 8.00pm)

A Liverpool side still proudly flaunting their 100% Champions League record meet an Aston Villa side who lost their perfect European tally in bizarre circumstances in Saturday's Premier League showdown.
While Arne Slot's side dismantled Bayer Leverkusen 4-0 in midweek, the Lions were stunned 1-0 by Club Brugge, who triumphed thanks to one of the most farcical penalties in recent memory.
We say: Liverpool 3-1 Aston Villa
Brugge aside, Villa almost always ask questions of the opposition backline and may have some joy in the final third against Liverpool, who had to survive a couple of scares for their midweek clean sheet.
However, Slot's side have been running defences ragged at Anfield for weeks and will also be working with an extra day's rest - not to mention playing at home rather than away in midweek - so the Reds should sit comfortably on their throne during the international break.
