Premier League predictions
Aston Villa host Fulham at Villa Park. Marco Silva’s men were very unlucky not to get a draw against Manchester United at Craven Cottage last weekend. Fulham’s best results away from home this season were draws against Arsenal and Brighton. Aston Villa have played six games at home in this season’s Premier League with winning all six games and scoring 20 goals. Unai Emery has done a fantastic job with Aston Villa as they are currently fifth in the Premier League table. Aston Villa won their midweek Europa Conference League game against AZ Alkmaar but they will need to improve on their defeat last weekend to Nottingham Forest. Score prediction 2-0
Brighton & Hove Albion host Sheffield United at the AMEX Stadium. Brighton got a fantastic win away from home in the Europa League against Ajax. It will be interesting to see how many injuries they got from their win against Ajax as Evan Ferguson was limping and Lewis Dunk picked up an injury. Sheffield United achieved their first win of the season last weekend against Wolves. This could be a good time for Sheffield United to play Brighton as the home side might be tired after their midweek win. Score prediction 2-1
Liverpool host Brentford at Anfield. Brentford are in great form after winning at Stamford Bridge against Chelsea and coming from behind to win against West Ham last weekend. Liverpool were very poor against Luton last weekend and were extremely lucky to get a draw thanks to an injury time goal from Luis Diaz. Liverpool lost to Toulouse in the Europa League but both Mo Salah and Trent Alexander-Arnold only played 45 minutes in midweek. Brentford will make it difficult for Liverpool with defending deep and are great at free-kicks and corners. Score prediction 1-1
The final game at 2pm is between West Ham and Nottingham Forest. West Ham haven’t been great lately with losing to both Everton & Brentford in the Premier League but won their Europa League game against Olympiacos. Nottingham Forest have been good away from home this season as they won against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge and were unlucky not to get a draw against Manchester United at Old Trafford. West Ham will look to the pace of Jarrod Bowen and the creativity of James Ward-Prowse to unlock a deep Notts Forest defence. Forest are going into this game in good form after a win against inform Aston Villa last weekend. Score prediction 1-1
The 4:30pm game is at Stamford Bridge between Chelsea and Manchester City. Bernardo Silva is in great form and was influential in Man City’s wins against both Manchester United and Bournemouth. Erling Haaland went off at half time against Bournemouth but scored twice in their midweek Champions League game against Young Boys. Chelsea are starting to perform under Mauricio Pochettino as they drew against Arsenal and beat Tottenham Hotspur 4-1 on Monday. Man City love playing away from home as they keep the ball and play on the counter attack. Chelsea have been poor at Stamford Bridge as they have only won one Premier League game this season. Score prediction 1-3
Hope you enjoy Sunday’s Premier League action.
