Brentford v Liverpool

The Bees mounted a late comeback against Manchester City in midweek and still boast a formidable home record but their results have tailed off lately.

Thomas Frank has had to contend with injury absentees at the back which have undermined his side’s efforts, despite the impressive output of Yoane Wissa, Mikkel Damsgaard and Bryan Mbeumo in attack.

The West Londoners have only won one of their last eight games in all competitions – a 5-0 win away to Southampton – and defeat to Plymouth in the FA Cup caused some embarrassment.

Liverpool have clipped a few hurdles of late having drawn to Manchester United and Nottingham Forest either side of a 1-0 loss to Spurs in the Carabao Cup.

Even so, it’s difficult to look past Arne Slot’s league leaders on Saturday.

Brentford have earned plenty of points at the Gtech but only Saints, West Ham and Wolves have conceded more home goals in the top flight this season.

Our Prediction: 3-1 to Liverpool

Arsenal v Aston Villa

The Villains won this fixture last season and dealt a huge blow to the Gunners’ title hopes in the process.

Mikel Arteta took revenge at Villa Park earlier this season and will be desperate for another three points to keep the pressure on Liverpool.

Arsenal are the only team yet to lose a league game at home this season and they’ll be encouraged by Villa’s middling away record of 13 points from ten outings.

But Unai Emery has overseen three straight victories this month and has previously been a thorn in the side of his former club.

44% of Score Predictor users have opted for a 2-1 home win at this stage and we’re inclined to follow the herd on this occasion.

Our Prediction: 2-1 to Arsenal

Everton v Tottenham

In what is one of the more surprising stats of 2024/25, Spurs boast the joint-best defensive record away from home in the Premier League at present.

This coupled with the Toffees’ struggles in attack – only Southampton have scored fewer league goals this season – suggests a low-scoring away win.

Or does it?

Ange Postecoglou’s side may have shipped very few goals on the road but they’ve collected just ten points from ten away days so far.

As for the hosts, the Goodison Park faithful will be worried that David Moyes’ previous stint on Merseyside means he’s not eligible for a new manager bounce after Wednesday’s 1-0 defeat to Aston Villa.

It was a relatively even, scrappy game but a loss nonetheless and so it’s still the case that Everton have mustered just three league wins this season.

Our Prediction: 2-0 to Spurs

Ipswich v Manchester City

The Tractor Boys have shown more fight than Leicester and Southampton since earning promotion to the top flight but they’ve pocketed just seven points at Portman Road.

Recent home wins over Chelsea and Bristol Rovers gave the season ticket holders something to cheer but they’ll be up against it when the defending champions come to town.

Not that Pep Guardiola’s troops are at their best right now, far from it.

A late capitulation at Brentford proved that Man City are not fully out of their slump – they are still guilty of curious mistakes at the back.

The problem for Kieran McKenna is that Erling Haaland, Phil Foden and company have been back among the goals of late with 16 in their last four outings.

The Norwegian poacher bagged a hat-trick in the reverse fixture back in August.

Our Prediction: 3-2 to Man City

Chelsea v Wolves

Stamford Bridge plays host to the Monday night game this Matchweek.

The Blues find themselves 13th in the form table (last six games) having drawn with Everton, Bournemouth and Crystal Palace around defeats to Ipswich and Fulham.

Nicolas Jackson is now missing chances he was converting throughout the first third of the campaign with Cole Palmer having to shoulder too much responsibility, as was the case last season.

Still, the bigger picture is that Chelsea are fifth while Wolves are 18th – the latter have conceded the most goals this term.

Enzo Maresca watched his side waltz to a 6-2 victory over Molineux back in August thanks to a Noni Madueke hat-trick.

A Matheus Cunha consolation goal feels likely…

Our Prediction: 3-1 to Chelsea
