Liverpool v Ipswich

The Tractor Boys were battered 6-0 by Manchester City last weekend and won’t be relishing a trip to the lair of the league leaders this Saturday.

Kieran McKenna’s side have looked better than fellow promoted teams Southampton and Leicester but the brutal truth is that they’ve mustered just 16 points upon their return to the top flight.

Only Saints and Everton have scored fewer goals than Ipswich at this stage.

In contrast, Arne Slot’s troops are the league’s top scorers having reached a half century of goals away to Brentford last weekend.

It might be a long afternoon for Ipswich…

Our Prediction: 4-0 to Liverpool

Manchester City v Chelsea

Pep Guardiola’s side are unbeaten in ten against the Blues, having won eight of those contests.

However, they have suffered late capitulations against Brentford and PSG this month and still don’t look back to their best.

City have recruited reinforcements during the transfer window and it will be interesting to see if new forward Omar Marmoush, one of Europe’s most in-form players, is thrown straight into the action on Saturday.

As for Chelsea, they are in the midst of a downturn in form, even accounting for their win over Wolves on Monday night.

Enzo Maresca’s side sit 13th in the form table, just below West Ham, but remain fourth in the table that matters most.

Cole Palmer will be hopeful of haunting his old team given City’s problems in deep midfield and defence of late but whether the visitors have enough resolve to resist Phil Foden, Kevin De Bruyne and Erling Haaland is another conversation entirely.

Our Prediction: 2-2 draw

Crystal Palace v Brentford

Bryan Mbeumo and Yoane Wissa gave the Bees victory over the Eagles in the reverse fixture but the recent history of this match-up has been littered with draws, five in the last seven meetings to be precise.

Palace have enjoyed an upturn of late and only five teams have earned more points from their last ten league outings.

Eberechi Eze and Jean-Philippe Mateta have reestablished their profitable connection in recent weeks as Oliver Glasner’s side have moved away from the relegation scrap and into the safety of mid-table.

Just one point separates these two teams but the hosts will feel this is an excellent opportunity to leapfrog their London rivals – Brentford’s only win in their last nine games came against Southampton.

Thomas Frank’s injury-blighted side have scraped just five points on the road this season.

Our Prediction: 2-1 to Crystal Palace

Aston Villa v West Ham

Graham Potter is still in the embryonic stage of his tenure as Hammers boss and will be fully aware of the size of the task after defeat to Palace last time out.

The East Londoners failed to register a single shot on target against the Eagles last weekend.

The Villains lost to Monaco in midweek and have struggled in the league after Champions League excursions this season but a recent win over West Ham in the FA Cup will give them hope of a positive result this time around.

Unai Emery’s side boast the fourth best home record in the top flight and will start as favourites on Sunday, especially as the visitors have several injuries to key attackers.

Our Prediction: 2-0 to Aston Villa

Fulham v Manchester United

The Cottagers are seven points ahead of the Red Devils in the table and head into Sunday’s game having had a full week to prepare, whereas Ruben Amorim’s men faced Rangers on Thursday night.

Man United have mustered just ten points from ten away days in the league this term having scored ten goals on the road – only Everton and Southampton have scored fewer goals away from home.

A Joshua Zirkzee winner ensured his side took three points off Fulham at Old Trafford back in August but 40% of Score Predictor users have opted for a 2-1 win for the hosts at Craven Cottage as it stands.

Our Prediction: 1-0 to Fulham
