West Ham vs Chelsea Preview Chelsea to win Both teams to score West Ham’s Struggles Continue West Ham have endured a difficult start to the Premier League season, with just one win from their opening four league matches (D1, L2). This is part of a broader slump, as the Hammers have managed only three victories in their last 15 top-flight outings (D5, L7). Their most recent match, a 1-1 draw against Fulham, was a disappointment, but a last-gasp 95th-minute equaliser salvaged a point. Despite that, the team’s slow start under manager Julen Lopetegui has drawn criticism, with some likening West Ham…
Liverpool vs Bournemouth Preview Liverpool to win Salah to score Liverpool Seeking Redemption After Shock Defeat Arne Slot’s impressive 100% winning start as Liverpool manager came to an unexpected halt in their last Premier League outing, with a shock 1-0 defeat at home to Nottingham Forest. The Reds had little time to dwell on that loss, as they found themselves 1-0 down within three minutes against AC Milan in midweek UEFA Champions League action. However, they showed their resilience by staging a comeback to secure a 3-1 victory. Now, Liverpool will return to Anfield eager to right the wrongs from last week’s…
Tottenham vs Brentford Preview Draw or Tottenham win Both teams to score Tottenham’s Struggles Against Top-Six Rivals Tottenham will need to bounce back quickly after their recent midweek EFL Cup fixture as they gear up for a crucial Premier League clash against Brentford. It’s a particularly busy period for Spurs, who are in the middle of playing seven competitive matches in 22 days. Their latest setback came in a narrow 1-0 loss to fierce rivals Arsenal, continuing their struggles against fellow top-six hopefuls. In fact, Spurs have lost each of their last six Premier League games as an underdog, underscoring their…
Brighton vs Nottingham Forest Preview Draw Adingra to score or assist Brighton’s Historic Opportunity It’s been a remarkable start to life at Brighton for new manager Fabian Hürzeler, who has the chance to make history in this clash. The Seagulls have never gone unbeaten in their first five games of a top-flight season, but with two wins and two draws from their opening four Premier League fixtures (W2, D2), that milestone is within reach. Brighton’s defence has been a key factor in their solid start, conceding just two goals in those four matches, and if they can maintain their defensive discipline, they…
Aston Villa vs Wolves Preview Draw or Villa win Tielemans to score or assist Aston Villa’s Continued Strong Start Aston Villa’s excellent start to the season showed no signs of slowing down as they secured a commanding 3-0 victory over Young Boys in their first UEFA Champions League/European Cup appearance since the 1980s. This victory followed a thrilling 3-2 comeback win over Everton last weekend, positioning Villa fans in high spirits, even topping the early Champions League table for a brief moment. Despite their success on the pitch, it has been an emotional week for the club as they mourned the…
Fulham vs Newcastle Preview Draw or Newcastle win Barnes to score or assist Fulham’s Tough Week It’s been a challenging week for Fulham, who were denied victory at the death by West Ham last weekend in a 1-1 draw, despite dominating the game. The disappointment didn’t end there as they were eliminated from the League Cup in midweek following an astonishing penalty shootout loss to Preston, which ended 16-15! Their last three matches have all ended 1-1 after 90 minutes, and despite a tally of five points from four league outings (W1, D2, L1), Fulham’s performances may deserve more than…
Crystal Palace vs Manchester United Preview Draw Rashford to score or assist Crystal Palace Seeking Premier League Revival Crystal Palace will hope that their midweek 2-1 EFL Cup victory over QPR provides the spark needed to reignite their Premier League campaign. The Eagles have endured a sluggish start to the season, failing to win any of their first four league matches (D2, L2) – their worst start since the 2017/18 season under Frank de Boer. This underwhelming beginning has surprised many, particularly as Palace ended last season in fine form, going unbeaten in their final seven Premier League games (W6, D1).…
Leicester vs Everton Preview Draw or Leicester win Vardy to score Winless Sides Seeking Breakthrough Two of the six Premier League sides still searching for their first win of the season face off as Leicester take on Everton. Leicester’s return to the top flight hasn’t gone as planned, with frustrations mounting over their winless start (D2, L2). Most recently, the Foxes were held to a 2-2 draw against Crystal Palace, a result overshadowed by controversy regarding the overturning of Palace’s first goal. Steve Cooper’s men will now aim to turn their fortunes around and secure their first three points of the…
Southampton vs Ipswich Preview Draw Under 3.5 goals Southampton’s Struggles Continue St Mary’s has been a gloomy place for Southampton fans since their return to the Premier League, with the Saints suffering a fourth consecutive league defeat in their most recent outing against Manchester United. Southampton, along with Everton, are the only teams yet to register a point this season. However, there may be a glimmer of hope, as the Saints also lost their first four games after their last promotion in 2012/13 but managed to finish the season in 14th place. Russell Martin’s side will be hoping to turn…
