Premier League

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

West Ham are on a fine run of form in the Premier League but always seem to suffer from a mental block when facing Manchester City, especially on home turf. The Blues have won their last nine head-to-head meetings and in the five matches played in the capital city the aggregate score has been 22-1. More...

Harry Kane is second favourite in bwin’s Premier League top scorer odds after bagging his second brace in as many matches. The Tottenham striker followed up his double against Manchester United before the international break with two more goals in a 3-3 draw with West Ham at the weekend. More...

West Brom and Burnley remain among the favourites in bwin's Premier League relegation odds following Monday's goalless draw at The Hawthorns. Albion now have two points from five matches and are 57/100 to go down, with the Clarets 6/5 to fall after getting off the mark at the fourth attempt. More...

Crystal Palace paid the price for sitting back on an early lead versus Brighton but will hopefully learn from that lesson when visiting Fulham. The Eagles have enough quality to pick up maximum points at Craven Cottage if having the confidence to be more positive in possession of the ball. More...

Liverpool have been eased out to 11/5 in bwin's Premier League winner predictions following the news that Virgil Van Dijk requires knee surgery. The 29-year-old suffered anterior cruciate ligament damage in a challenge by Everton keeper Jordan Pickford in Saturday’s 2-2 Merseyside derby draw. More...

Leeds are enjoying life back in the Premier League, clearly belong at this level and are taken to edge out Wolves at Elland Road. Wanderers have yet to reach the heights of their first two top-flight campaigns and may need more time before rediscovering the rhythm associated with them. More...

West Brom and Burnley have both struggled early on this season but we reckon the Clarets are better equipped to bounce back at The Hawthorns. The international break couldn't come soon enough for Sean Dyche's injury-hit squad and they will hopefully be boosted by some players returning. More...

There are plenty of grudge matches taking place around Europe this weekend and one of them is at Selhurst Park where Crystal Palace host rivals Brighton. There is no love lost between these two despite the 41-mile gap and the players will be well aware of what is at stake despite the lack of fans present. More...

At least one of these teams will get their first points on the board at the fifth attempt when they meet at Bramall Lane. It may be too early to call this a six-pointer but with both teams having lost their opening four games, they will be desperate to ease their worries with a victory. More...

Arsenal did well to beat Manchester City in July's FA Cup semi-finals but have tasted defeat in their last six Premier League encounters. The Blues have scored three goals in all but one of those contests and are fancied to enjoy plenty of success going forward again here. More...

Manchester United have found Newcastle a tricky place to visit in recent years, losing on two of their last three trips to St James' Park and drawing the time before. Considering the Red Devils' struggles this term, it is surprising to see them quoted as odds-on favourites for victory on Tyneside. More...

Tottenham and West Ham went into the international break in sparkling form and everything is set up for an entertaining London derby when they return to action. Preference is for Spurs, as they did the double over the Hammers last season, but United are expected to make their presence felt. More...

Leicester and Aston Villa suffered wildly contrasting fortunes on a crazy day of Premier League results prior to the international break. The Foxes were thumped 3-0 at home by West Ham, while Villa claimed an incredible 7-2 triumph over reigning champions Liverpool. More...

Hopes are high on the blue half of Merseyside that Everton can end a decade-long derby drought when entertaining Liverpool on Saturday. The Toffees last claimed local bragging rights when Tim Cahill and Mikel Arteta scored in a 2-0 Premier League home win on October 17, 2010. More...

Big-spending Chelsea remain a bit of an enigma but they are fancied to prove a cut above Southampton in the Premier League at Stamford Bridge. The Blues were very impressive in the second half of a 4-0 win over Crystal Palace at this venue prior to the international break. More...

Wolves will be determined to erase the memory of their 4-0 drubbing at West Ham when entertaining Fulham, who are expected to feel the backlash. The Cottagers are already being talked of as a sure bet to make a quick return to the Championship following three straight Premier League defeats. More...
