Saturday's Premier League predictions including Brentford vs. Manchester United

Sports Mole provides score predictions and previews for all of today's Premier League fixtures, including Brentford vs. Manchester United.


Aston Villa vs. Everton (Saturday, 12.30pm)

Aston Villa and Everton meet in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon as Steven Gerrard and Frank Lampard square off for the first time in their managerial careers.

Both clubs started the campaign with a defeat, Villa going down 2-0 at Bournemouth before Everton succumbed to a 1-0 scoreline against Chelsea.

We say: Aston Villa 1-1 Everton


Even at this early stage of the season, the pressure is on both teams to kick-start their respective campaigns, as well as the two managers to gain an edge over the other. However, we can see a tense clash playing out at Villa Park, one which may end in a low-scoring share of the spoils.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 1.5 goals.

Arsenal vs. Leicester (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Arsenal will aim to begin the 2022-23 Premier League season with back-to-back wins as Leicester City visit the Emirates Stadium for Saturday afternoon's match.

The Gunners kicked off the new campaign with a 2-0 victory away to Crystal Palace, while the Foxes threw away a two-goal lead against Brentford to draw 2-2.

We say: Arsenal 2-0 Leicester City


With Saliba and Zinchenko providing some added steel to the Arsenal defence, the Gunners are well-placed to put another three points on the board this weekend, especially if Arteta has every single one of his players available.

Leicester's inability to keep clean sheets on the road has been well-documented for over 12 months now, and we can envisage another two-goal success for Arteta's side in front of their own fans.

Our tipster partners are predicting under 3.5 goals.

Brighton vs. Newcastle (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Brighton & Hove Albion play host to Newcastle United on Saturday afternoon looking to build on their victory over Manchester United last weekend.

Meanwhile, the Magpies make the long trip to the Amex Stadium having also gotten off to a winning start with success over newly-promoted Nottingham Forest.

We say: Brighton & Hove Albion 1-1 Newcastle United


Having started with maximum points, a certain level of pressure has been taken off the shoulders of these two teams. However, we expect a hugely competitive encounter between sides heading in the right direction, leaving us to predict a share of the spoils playing out on the South coast.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 1.5 goals.

Man City vs. Bournemouth (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Having both enjoyed 2-0 successes on the opening weekend of the Premier League season, champions Manchester City and newly-promoted Bournemouth prepare for battle at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday afternoon.

The Citizens got the better of West Ham United at the London Stadium last time out, while the Cherries ran out convincing winners over Aston Villa.

We say: Manchester City 4-0 Bournemouth


Bournemouth deserve all the plaudits they receive after seeing off Aston Villa on the opening weekend, but a trip to the Etihad is a completely different kettle of fish.

Guardiola's champions should have no problem overcoming the Cherries' low block and defence-heavy setup, and the Cherries should be given a harsh welcome back to life with the big boys on Saturday.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 2.5 goals.

Southampton vs. Leeds (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Southampton take on Leeds United in the Premier League on Saturday.

These sides finished 15th and 17th respectively last season, so they will be desperate to avoid any relegation trouble this time around.

We say: Southampton 1-2 Leeds United


Leeds appear to have a more coherent strategy than Southampton at present, so we can see them winning in what should be an open, entertaining affair.

The Saints do have individual quality, but it may take time for them to click having changed formation and signed several young players this summer.

Our tipster partners are predicting under 3.5 goals.

Wolves vs. Fulham (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Fulham square off against Wolverhampton Wanderers at Molineux on Saturday afternoon looking to build on their impressive draw with Liverpool last weekend.

However, Wolves head into their first home fixture of the new Premier League season eager to bounce back from a disappointing defeat at Leeds United.

We say: Wolverhampton Wanderers 1-2 Fulham


Lage took the positives from last week's performance and will feel that Guedes can only add to his team's increasing threat in the final third. However, Fulham will take confidence from how they imposed themselves on Liverpool, and we feel that could be replicated against a Wolves side who struggled at home last season.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 1.5 goals.

Brentford vs. Man Utd (Saturday, 5.30pm)

Manchester United will be bidding to bounce back from their opening-weekend defeat to Brighton & Hove Albion when they resume their Premier League campaign against Brentford in Saturday's late start.

The Red Devils lost 2-1 at home to the Seagulls in their campaign opener last Sunday, while Brentford came from two goals behind to draw 2-2 with Leicester City in their first match on the same afternoon.

We say: Brentford 1-2 Manchester United


Man United are a really difficult team to back at the moment, but we just have a feeling for the Red Devils here. The players should be fired-up to bounce back from what was a poor defeat against Brighton, and although Brentford are capable of causing plenty of issues, we believe that the visitors will have enough quality to just about get over the line in this contest.

Our tipster partners are predicting under 3.5 goals.
