Premier League Predictions: Bees can sting Newcastle

Nick still leads the way in our Premier League predictions leaderboard, while I (Conor) have got plenty of catching up to do. I'm hoping that Gameweek 11 will be my chance to do that.

Check out what scores we have gone with for this weekend's fixtures below.

Tottenham vs Man Utd (Saturday, 12:30) - 2-2 @ 10/1

Tottenham Hotspur delivered a response in the Uefa Champions League on Tuesday as they defeated Copenhagen 4-0 at home, having been beaten by Chelsea here 1-0 in the Premier League at the weekend.

Another home clash awaits them on Saturday as they entertain Manchester United. The Red Devils had to settle for a point at Nottingham Forest last time out, ending their three-game winning streak.

I think this will be a tight affair, so I'm going for a high-scoring draw.

Nick: 2-1

Simon: 1-3

Everton vs Fulham (Saturday, 15:00) - 2-2 @ 14/1

And the same goes for this next match as Everton host Fulham. The Toffees had chances to get an impressive win at Sunderland on Monday but they weren't clinical enough.

Fulham got back to winning ways against Wolves in their last outing but their form had been disappointing before that. Neither side is massively impressive right now so I can see them cancelling each other out.

Nick: 2-0

Simon: 2-1

Premier League Odds

West Ham vs Burnley (Saturday, 15:00) - 2-1 @ 15/2

West Ham United pulled off a surprising victory last week as they defeated Newcastle United 3-1 at the London Stadium. The Irons outclassed the Magpies and they will look to build on this when they take on Burnley at home.

The Clarets have won just one of their five away trips in the top flight so far and I think they may fall to a narrow defeat in the capital.

Nick: 2-1

Simon: 2-0

Sunderland vs Arsenal (Saturday, 17:30) - 0-2 @ 5/1

Viktor Gyokeres could be a huge miss for Arsenal for their trip to Sunderland, but I'm not too worried it will have a massive impact on their performance. Mikel Merino is proving to be a useful understudy, with two goals in the Champions League on Tuesday against Slavia Prague.

But it is more the Gunners' outstanding defensive record that gives me reassurance. I'm backing Mikel Arteta's men for another win and clean sheet combination.

Nick: 1-1

Simon: 0-3

Chelsea vs Wolves (Saturday, 20:00) - 3-0 @ 8/1

Chelsea and Wolves recently met at Molineux in the Carabao Cup, with the Blues running out 4-3 winners. This time they square up at Stamford Bridge in the league, and it will be Wolves' first since Vitor Pereira was dismissed as boss.

The Old Gold are yet to win a match in the top flight and I think they will be handed another defeat on Saturday night.

Nick: 3-0

Simon: 2-1

Villa vs Bournemouth (Sunday, 14:00) - 2-2 @ 12/1

Aston Villa's winning streak was ended at Liverpool last time out but the Villans had won four on the bounce before that. They will be hoping that they can get something against AFC Bournemouth at Villa Park on Sunday, but the Cherries have had an explosive start to the campaign.

I think there will be a few goals on offer in this one but I do think the game will end level.

Nick: 2-1

Simon: 1-1

Brentford vs Newcastle (Sunday, 14:00) - 2-1 @ 9/1

After losing at West Ham, I think Newcastle could be set for another loss in London, this time at the hands of Brentford. The Magpies may have recorded another Champions League win on Wednesday as they defeated Athletic Club, but they are yet to really lay down a marker in the Premier League.

They are currently one point behind Brentford, who have won three of their past five outings in the league, which is also the same return from their home fixtures in the top flight.

Nick: 1-3

Simon: 1-2

Crystal Palace vs Brighton (Sunday, 14:00) - 2-1 @ 15/2

The unusual derby between Crystal Palace and Brighton & Hove Albion continues on Sunday, with the pair meeting at Selhurst Park. One point separates them in the table, with the Eagles currently sat above the visitors.

They've both won four games apiece in the Premier League so far and Palace are yet to be beaten at home. Given how poor Brighton were on their last away trip at Man United, I think a home victory is the smart play here.

Nick: 1-1

Simon: 1-0

Nottingham Forest vs Leeds (Sunday, 14:00) - 2-1 @ 8/1

Sean Dyche will look to build on his first point in charge of Nottingham Forest last week when they host Leeds United at the City Ground. I think we are all expecting a Dyche masterclass here, especially at home.

Given the fact that Leeds have lost four of their first five away games in the league, a home victory looks the best bet.

Nick: 2-0

Simon: 2-2

Man City vs Liverpool (Sunday, 16:30) - 2-1 @ 15/2

Jamie Carragher labelled Manchester City the 'Erling Haaland' team earlier this week, and his club Liverpool may fall to defeat against the free-scoring Norwegian's team, with the Reds having lost three of their five away fixtures in the Premier League so far.

On the flip side, City have won four from five in the top flight at the Etihad, so I think this trend will continue on Sunday, in what would be a huge result for Pep Guardiola's side.

Nick: 2-2

Simon: 1-1
