Manchester United v Arsenal, Monday, 11pm: United needed penalties to see off League One Rochdale in the Carabao Cup in midweek, and the growing sense of frustration among the Old Trafford faithful with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer grows louder with each game. Arsenal have goals galore in their side through Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Alexandre Lacazette but are so brittle at the back that you can't rule out concessions. PREDICTION: Manchester United 1, Arsenal 1. AFP
Sheffield United v Liverpool, Saturday, 3.30pm: Chris Wilder said Sheffield United may have to consider playing 'a back 10' to stifle Liverpool's attacking threat. The fab three of Mohamed Salah, Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mane were given the night off on Wednesday as the youngsters took over in the Carabao Cup. With that troika well rested, Wilder might need to consider playing a back 11. PREDICTION: Sheffield United 1, Liverpool 3. Reuters
Aston Villa v Burnley, Saturday, 6pm: Burnley's Chris Wood may not be prolific but he showed his finishing prowess with two well-taken goals in the 2-0 win against Norwich last time out. Burnley's record after six games reads two wins, two draws and two defeats, suggesting inconsistency, but their six points so far is two better than Aston Villa's, who are winless from their last three matches. PREDICTION: Aston Villa 0, Burnley 1. Reuters
Bournemouth v West Ham United, Saturday, 6pm: West Ham suffered an embarrassing 4-0 defeat to League One Oxford United in midweek. Despite that setback, the Hammers boast impressive league form and are unbeaten since their opening day defeat to Manchester City. Bournemouth, buoyed by recent wins against Everton and Southampton, will look for a third successive win to leapfrog West Ham into fifth place. PREDICTION: Bournemouth 2, West Ham 2. Reuters
Chelsea v Brighton, Saturday, 6pm: Chelsea had six youth players on the pitch and four more on the bench by the end of Wednesday's 7-1 romp over Grimsby, marking a change in philosophy at a club that has traditionally farmed its youngsters out on loan. Callum Hudson-Odoi, 18, marked his return from injury with the final goal and will hope manager Frank Lampard will show the same faith in him he has shown in fellow English youngsters Mason Mount and Tammy Abraham. PREDICTION: Chelsea 4, Brighton 0. AFP
Crystal Palace v Norwich City, Saturday, 6pm: Brilliant against champions Manchester City, miserable against Burnley - which Norwich side will show up at Selhurst Park is anyone's guess but last season's Championship winners are capable of causing upsets. Palace are yet to truly catch fire so far this season but in Wilfried Zaha have a proven match-winner. PREDICTION: Crystal Palace 1, Norwich City 0. Reuters
Tottenham Hotspur v Southampton, Saturday, 6pm: Spurs' miserable start to the season was compounded when they were eliminated from the Carabao Cup by a team ranked 71 places below them on Wednesday. Mauricio Pochettino cited a squad with 'different agendas' and lacking unity for recent poor performances. The sense is that Spurs have been lucky to take a point off Manchester City and Arsenal this season. If they hope to match last season's efforts of a top-four finish, they need to get their act together soon. PREDICTION: Tottenham 2, Southampton 1. Reuters
Wolves v Watford, Saturday, 6pm: On the plus side for Watford, things can only improve after last week's 8-0 humiliation at Manchester City. Goalkeeper Ben Foster said he feared the score could end up in double digits, and some of Watford's defending was truly dire at the Etihad. They travel to a Wolves who are not much better off though. Wolves and Watford have a combined zero wins in 10 Premier League games, although second-bottom Wolves' position in the table seems more of a false one than basement dwellers Watford. Don't expect fireworks at Molineux. PREDICTION: Wolves 0, Watford 0. Reuters
Everton v Manchester City, Saturday, 8.30pm: City have scored 11 goals this week but travel to Goodison Park five points off the pace of leaders Liverpool. Raheem Sterling was rested for the Watford match and came off the bench for a cameo in the win at Preston North End. With Kevin de Bruyne also firing, Everton could be in for a tough evening. PREDICTION: Everton 1, Manchester City 2. AFP
Leicester City v Newcastle United, Sunday, 7.30pm: Surrendering 72 per cent possession at home to a team like Brighton did not go down well with Newcastle fans. Perversely, that could play into their favour against a Leicester side who are better without the ball than with it. PREDICTION: Leicester City 2, Newcastle 0. Reuters
