Crystal Palace and Wolves are both on five-match unbeaten runs in the Premier League and a tight tussle is expected at Selhurst Park. Wanderers have picked up an impressive 13 points out of 15, compared to just seven for their hosts, but the Eagles have had a tougher schedule.
Burnley finally recorded their first win of the season last weekend but face a tough task to maintain the momentum on Saturday. The Clarets remain in the relegation zone despite beating Brentford and now head to Stamford Bridge to face leaders Chelsea.
Brighton are unbeaten against bottom-half teams this season and can improve that record when they host struggling Newcastle on Saturday. Albion now look a class above the weaker teams in the Premier League but are still not the most ruthless in front of goal.
Norwich are rooted to the foot of the Premier League table but travel to Brentford on the back of some encouraging recent efforts. City took four points off the Bees in the Championship last season and their opponents are coming off a disappointing defeat at Burnley.
Man Utd looked to have found their ideal formation when winning at Tottenham and can follow up by beating Atalanta. Switching to a 3-4-1-2 set-up prompted an instant and significant improvement from the Red Devils, easing the pressure on Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
Chelsea can close in on a place in the Champions League knockout rounds by brushing aside Group H whipping boys Malmo again. The Blues cruised to a 4-0 victory when these teams met at Stamford Bridge, leaving Malmo without a point from three matches and zero goals.
Antonio Conte can get off to a flying start as Tottenham boss by securing a Europa Conference League success versus Vitesse Arnhem. Spurs have work to do in Group G after losing to the same side in Holland two weeks ago, but should benefit from the fresh energy Conte will bring.
Liverpool’s recent 3-2 Champions League win over Atletico Madrid in Spain was an action-packed affair full of drama at both ends. In fact, the Reds have been involved in three entertaining Group B fixtures but have found a way to come out on top on each occasion.
Leicester are involved in an incredibly open Europa League group and will be eyeing maximum points when hosting Spartak. The Foxes claimed a thrilling 4-3 victory when these sides met in Russia last month and this promises to be another entertaining encounter.
West Ham have built up a ton of momentum and we see no reason to oppose them when visiting Genk in Europa League Group H. The Hammers powered to a 3-0 victory when these teams met in London a fortnight ago, giving them maximum points from three outings.
Celtic were worthy winners when beating Ferencvaros in Glasgow but the reverse fixture may prove a much tougher test. The Hungarian outfit have enjoyed some good results on home turf in Europe this term and will adopt a more positive approach at Groupama Arena.
Rangers found a Europa League lifeline when beating Brondby in Glasgow and get a confident vote to do the double over the Danish outfit. The 2-0 scoreline at Ibrox didn’t do justice to how dominant Steven Gerrard’s side were a fortnight ago and this trip should hold no fears.
It has been a bad week for Man City and Club Brugge could well feel the backlash in Wednesday’s Champions League clash. The Blues will be determined to bounce back from bowing out of the EFL Cup and suffering a shock Premier League loss to Crystal Palace.
Ajax did us a favour when demolishing Dortmund 4-0 in Amsterdam, with our followers treated to a trio of successful selections. However, the Black and Yellows have been far more formidable on home turf this term and it would be no surprise to see a turn-around.
