Liverpool vs Burnley
3-1
Liverpool have had a very solid start to the season with a comfortable 3-0 win over Norwich. Klopp's reliable and unchanged side should be too strong for Sean Dyche's Burnley team.
4-0
Long afternoon for Burnley ahead. Liverpool will be looking to capitalise on a good opening result at Norwich. Salah looks in good touch and will be impossible to stop.
Aston Villa vs Newcastle
2-0
Although Villa got off to a shaky start against Watford I think that with the quality in their team it is inevitable. With the likes of the magical Buendia and sharpshooter Danny Ings I can only see one winner.
1-2
Losing Grealish will take time to get over for Aston Villa, we saw that last week. Newcastle are an underrated, organised side and will make it difficult. Wilson to bag for them on Saturday.
Palace vs Brentford
2-1
After a poor start to the season against a formidable Chelsea side Vieira's Palace looked lacklustre, they created little to nothing against the Champions of Europe. However, at Selhurst Park the atmosphere will be electric, this should drive Palace over the line in what will be a tight encounter.
0-2
Vieira is not a manager that inspires a lot of confidence. Palace missing some big players such as Eze and new signing Olise. Brentford have wind in their sails after a huge result against Arsenal, no brainer here.
Leeds vs Everton
3-1
Leeds are a very exciting team to watch they have great energy and enthusiasm which may rattle an inconsistent Everton defence. After a poor display against United, Leeds will need a big performance to lift spirits and I think they will surprise a few this weekend.
3-2
Who is responsible for putting this as a 3 o’clock game? Both exciting teams with a lot to prove. Elland Road’s first game back, an electric atmosphere guaranteed. Difficult to see Leeds losing this one.
Manchester City vs Norwich
4-0
After a disappointing opening weekend for both City and Norwich they will both want to come back with vengeance. With the Sky Blue's depth and excellence I cannot see how the newly promoted side will stand a chance.
3-0
Both sides looked poor last weekend, but Norwich getting blown away is inevitable here. I rate Farke but no manager would prevent a loss away at the Champions in this game.
Brighton vs Watford
3-1
Watford shocked the league after a comfortable win over Aston Villa on the opening day, In my view it has given a sense of false hope to the Hornets. Brighton have a great manager in Potter and their organisation and experience will aid them to a straightforward victory.
1-1
Brighton showed promise last season, and I predict them to have a good season. However, their home form has always been unconvincing. Watford will be looking to build on a great opening win.
Southampton vs Manchester United
0-3
With a more than comfortable win against a frantic Leeds side United look poised and confident. Whereas, Southampton are confused and bruised after losing their star man (Danny Ings). Although Hassenhuttl has done a reasonable job so far with the Saints this United team will be too much for them to handle.
1-4
Southampton without Ings is like a car with no wheels. Although they’ve tied down JWP, United have far too much quality. Bruno and Pogba looked unplayable last weekend.
Wolves vs Spurs
2-1
It is all change for Tottenham at the moment, new manager, no Kane which makes them very unpredictable. With so many years of disappointment I do not think Spurs fans should be too optimistic any time soon. Although they beat the reigning champions (Manchester City) I think Spurs will struggle this season and against an average Wolves side.
0-0
Two sides in chaos at the moment. Wolves look the better side on paper, but Spurs often travel well. Will be a dull game, that can go either way. A draw probably most sensible.
Arsenal vs Chelsea
0-3
Chelsea look stronger than ever with Tuchel and got off to a flyer against Palace. The Blues have struggled against Arsenal in recent years however, this Arsenal side is incredibly weak. With Romelu Lukaku back in Chelsea blue I think the Gunners should be worried, very worried.
2-0
Arteta, for all his flaws, has definitely brought a competitiveness back to Arsenal in the big games. Beating Chelsea home and away last season, shows their capability. No bias I promise (He's an Arsenal fan can you tell?).
West Ham vs Leicester
2-2
Both teams are looking sharp and full of quality, this is a game to look out for. West Ham and Leicester both got off to very good starts within the league. I think both teams will counteract each other ending in an entertaining draw.
2-1
An exciting game between two overachieving teams. Leicester are a very complete side, but the Rice-Soucek axis will be too much for them on Monday night.
