Manchester United and Arsenal used to be title rivals but are both languishing in the bottom half of the Premier League heading into their latest Old Trafford showdown. United have lost two of their first five games while Arsenal have lost half of their six matches so both will be determined to use this game to start climbing the table. More...

Fulham and West Brom are battling to avoid an immediate return to the Championship this season and this fixture already merits being labelled as a ‘six-pointer’. The Cottagers are bottom of the table with just one point from their first six games and West Brom are also without a win but have at least managed three draws. More...

Everton are looking to bounce back from defeat for the first time this season when they head north to Tyneside. Four straight wins were followed by a 2-2 draw in the Merseyside derby but their unbeaten start ended last week as they slipped to a 2-0 defeat at Southampton. More...

Aston Villa will hope to prove last week’s first defeat of the season was only a blip as they aim to get back on track against Southampton. Villa began the campaign with four straight wins but that run was abruptly ended by a 3-0 defeat at home to Leeds. More...

Liverpool’s injury problems in defence continued in midweek and that could mean an exciting contest is in store when West Ham head to Anfield. Fabinho had to be substituted during the 2-0 home win over Midtjylland in the Champions League on Tuesday night and is a doubt for the weekend. More...

Tottenham are on their travels for the second time this week as they go from Burnley to Belgium for their second Europa League group game. Monday night’s 1-0 win at Turf Moor continued an impressive start to the campaign for Spurs, who are unbeaten in 90 minutes since the defeat by Everton on the opening weekend. More...

Manchester City are on the road for the third time in eight days when they make the short trip over the Pennines to face Sheffield United. City enjoyed a 3-0 victory at Marseille in the Champions League on Tuesday night and have so far performed better in Europe than in the Premier League. More...

Arsenal will surely have one eye on Sunday’s Premier League clash with Manchester United when they host Dundalk in their second Europa League group match. The Gunners are expected to enjoy a comfortable win against the League of Ireland champions, who have been priced up as 35/1 shots to cause an upset. More...

Wolves were frustrated to drop two points at home to Newcastle on Sunday and will be determined not to do the same when they host Crystal Palace. Jacob Murphy’s late equaliser at Molineux denied Wolves a third straight win but there is still plenty to like about Nuno Espirito Santo’s team. More...

Leicester have a perfect record on their travels this season and are expected to extend their winning run when they head to the Greek capital in the Europa League. The Foxes have already enjoyed impressive wins at West Brom, Manchester City and Arsenal this season and are odds-on favourites to add AEK Athens to that list. More...

Manchester United could not have asked for a better start to their Champions League campaign after last week’s 2-1 victory against Paris St-Germain. That result eased the pressure on Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and United will be in a strong position in the group if they can at least avoid defeat against the Bundesliga leaders. More...

Chelsea fans will hope to have something to cheer when the Blues return to Champions League action with a trip to Russia. Frank Lampard’s men have not been the most exciting to watch recently following two successive goalless draws against Sevilla and Manchester United. More...

Celtic are in the unusual position of having gone three matches without a win and are underdogs heading into their second Europa League group game in Lille. Neil Lennon’s men made a disappointing start to the group as they were beaten 3-1 by AC Milan last week so head to France under pressure to get a positive result. More...

Rangers will have started the season with a three-month unbeaten run if they avoid defeat in their second Europa League group game at home to Lech Poznan. Steven Gerrard’s men have enjoyed a dream start to the campaign both domestically and in Europe and are firm favourites to extend that run here. More...

Liverpool won their opening Champions League match for the first time in 12 years and it would be a huge surprise if they did not follow that up with victory at Anfield. The 1-0 victory against Ajax was the first time the Reds had made a winning start since beating Marseille in 2008, having lost away at Napoli in the last two seasons and drawn against Spartak Moscow in Russia prior to that. More...

Manchester City have made a slow start to the Premier League season but are expected to make it two wins out of two in the Champions League when they face Marseille. Pep Guardiola’s side have only won two of their five league matches and are yet to hit top gear but were still good enough to beat Porto 3-1 in their opening group game. More...

Tottenham are playing with great confidence at present and that will stand them in good stead when visiting a Burnley outfit short on self-belief. Jose Mourinho has a whole host of attacking options to call on and Spurs have scored 19 goals in their last four Premier League and Europa League outings. More...

Brighton begin the weekend just one place above West Brom and will be keen to start climbing the table when the teams meet on Monday evening. The Seagulls have been performing better than their league position suggests, while West Brom look set to be battling relegation all season. More...

Manchester United should take plenty of confidence from Tuesday's Champions League win over PSG into their Premier League clash with Chelsea. The Red Devils can also take heart from a good home record versus the Blues, who last claimed victory at Old Trafford back in 2013. More...

Sheffield United failed to score in two Premier League games against Liverpool last season but we're backing them to fare better up front at Anfield on Saturday. The Reds look vulnerable at the back without colossal centre-half Virgil Van Dijk and keeper Alisson and the Blades can hopefully take advantage. More...

Southampton and Everton will both head into Sunday's Premier League clash in good spirits and a close encounter is on the cards at St Mary's Stadium. The Toffees are top of the table and yet to taste defeat this season, but Saints are unbeaten in their last three outings and also playing well. More...

Wolves do not have European football to contend with this season and can benefit from the extra rest this weekend. Balancing the demands of the Europa League with the Premier League proved tough last season but that is not an issue for Nuno Espirito Santo this time around. More...

Arsenal's poor run of Premier League results away to elite-level clubs continued at Man City but they showed enough to suggest they can beat Leicester on home turf. The Foxes have put in a couple of disappointing domestic displays and are struggling with injury problems. More...

We're continuing our regular La Liga predictions with a near-8/1 Saturday treble from the latest round of fixtures in Spain's top tier. Widely regarded as one of the most entertaining competitions in Europe, this division should provide plenty of thrills and spills again this term. More...

We’re continuing our weekly Bundesliga predictions with a 29/4 Saturday treble from the fifth round of fixtures in Germany's top division. Matches in this competition invariably produce lots of thrilling goalmouth action and more of the same is expected during the current campaign. More...

Aston Villa are on the crest of a wave after an amazing start to the Premier League season and we're jumping on the bandwagon when they host Leeds. The visitors also began brightly but Monday night's home defeat by Wolves may just have knocked some of the stuffing out of Marcelo Bielsa's men. More...

Barcelona look in better shape than Real Madrid heading into the first Classico of the campaign at Camp Nou on Saturday afternoon. Both teams suffered surprise La Liga losses last weekend, but Barca bounced back in style in the Champions League in midweek, whereas Los Merengues flopped again. More...
