Gameweek 7 of the Premier League is upon us, and we look at some of the potential outcomes from this week’s thrilling battles, including the crunch clash involving Manchester United and Aston Villa.
Crystal Palace vs Liverpool
Crystal Palace take on Liverpool in the Premier League at the weekend, and they will look to get their stuttering campaign back on track with a win. The Eagles are yet to win a single game in the top flight this season, and the home fans will demand a strong performance here.
Liverpool are at the top of the league table with five wins from six matches, and they will be the favourites to pick up all three points. The Reds have won nine of their last ten away matches against Crystal Palace, and they should be able to grind out all three points here.
Probable Bet: Liverpool win
Leicester City vs Bournemouth
Leicester City take on Bournemouth in the Premier League at the weekend, and they will look to pick up their first win of the season at home. The Foxes have been quite poor in the league so far, and they have picked up just three points from six league games.
On the other hand, Bournemouth ended their losing streak with a victory over Southampton last time out. They will look to build on that performance and pick up another victory here.
This is likely to be a close contest, and a high-scoring game could be on the cards. Both teams have been quite vulnerable defensively this season, and 16 goals have been scored in the last six matches involving these two sides.
Probable Bet: Over 2.5 goals
Manchester City vs Fulham
Manchester City host Fulham in the Premier League on Saturday, and the defending champions will look to get back to the top of the table with a victory at home. They are second in the standings after two consecutive draws. Pep Guardiola will demand a strong performance from his players here, and Manchester City will be the favourites heading into this game.
Fulham are impressive form as well with three wins and two draws from their last five league games. It remains to be seen whether they can pull off an upset here. Manchester City are undefeated in their last 29 league games, and they have won their last 16 against Fulham. A comfortable home win is on the cards.
Probable Bet: Man City win
West Ham United vs Ipswich Town
West Ham United host Ipswich Town in the Premier League ono Saturday, and it remains to be seen whether they can get back to winning ways here. The Hammers are 14th in the league table, and they have failed to win their last four league games.
The hosts are up against the side that is yet to win in the Premier League this season. Ipswich Town will be one of the favourites to go down, and they need to turn things around with a positive result.
The Tractor Boys have drawn their last four league games, and they will look to make life difficult for West Ham here. Meanwhile, the home team have won their last three matches against Ipswich. On paper, they are the better team, and a double chance on the Hammers seems ideal.
Probable Bet: West Ham win or draw
Arsenal vs Southampton
Arsenal host Southampton in the Premier League on Saturday, and they will look to continue their impressive run of form with a victory here. The Gunners are unbeaten in the league, and they will look to close the gap with Liverpool and Manchester City.
Southampton have lost five of their last six league games, and they are yet to pick up a single victory in the league this season. The Saints are the underdogs here, and they are likely to fall short. Arsenal are undefeated in their last six home games against Southampton, and they have scored at least twice in five of those six matches.
Probable Bet: Arsenal win
Brentford vs Wolves
Brentford take on Wolves in the Premier League this weekend, and they will look to get back to winning ways here. The Bees ended their losing streak with a draw against West Ham United, and it will be interesting to see if they can pick up a win here.
Wolves have been quite poor in the Premier League so far, and they have lost five of their six Premier League games. The Black Country outfit have conceded at least twice in eight of their last nine league games, and they have lost eight of their last nine league games as well. It seems that Brentford could pile further misery on the visitors here. A double chance on the home team would be ideal here.
Probable Bet: Brentford win or draw
Everton vs Newcastle United
Everton host Newcastle United in the Premier League this weekend, and they will look to build on their first win of the season against Crystal Palace. The Toffees will be delighted with the performance against Palace. It will be interesting to see if they can pick up positive result here.
Meanwhile, Newcastle United are unbeaten in five of the last six Premier League games so far, but they have failed to win their last two outings in the Premier League. The Magpies are undoubtedly the better team on paper and this is likely to be a cracking contest.
16 goals have been scored in the last six meetings between these two sides, and a high-scoring game is on the cards. Six of Everton’s last seven league games have seen over 2.5 goals as well.
Probable Bet: Over 2.5 goals
Chelsea vs Nottingham Forest
Chelsea host Nottingham Forest in the Premier League on Sunday, and they will look to continue their impressive run of form with a victory at home. The Blues are coming into this game on the back of three consecutive victories, and they will be full of confidence and momentum.
The West Londoners are unbeaten in five of the last six meetings against Nottingham Forest, and they will be the favourites to win here. Meanwhile, Nottingham Forest have been difficult to be this season.
Although the Tricky Trees are coming into this game on the back of a defeat against Fulham, they are unbeaten in their other five league games this season. Chelsea will have to work hard in order to grind out a win here. A narrow win for the home team is on the cards.
Probable Bet: Chelsea win
Aston Villa vs Manchester United
Aston Villa host Manchester United in the Premier League at the weekend, and they will look to continue their impressive start of the season with a positive performance here. The Villans are coming into this game on the back of a victory against Bayern Munich in the UEFA Champions League, and they are unbeaten in their last six matches across all competitions.
Meanwhile, Manchester United are winless in their last three matches in all competitions, and they are lacking in form and confidence. This will be a difficult outing for the Red Devils, and it will not be a surprise if Aston Villa pick up all three points here.
Probable Bet: Aston Villa win
Brighton & Hove Albion vs Tottenham
Brighton & Hove Albion host Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League, and they will look to bounce back from the defeat against Chelsea here. It was their first defeat of the season, and they will look to bounce back with a win.
Meanwhile, Tottenham have been quite inconsistent, and it will be interesting to see if they can grind out all three points here. Spurs have picked up two wins in the last two matches, and they will be reasonably confident heading into this game.
The last few matches between these two sides have been packed with goals with the last three producing 12. In addition, there have been over 2.5 goals scored in 29 of Tottenham’s last 35 league games. A high scoring game is on the cards.
Probable Bet: Over 2.5 goals
