**West Ham vs Chelsea** West Ham have had a torrid start to the season, registering just one win in 4 games so far. After snatching a draw at the death last weekend at Fulham, they will be hoping to build on that result to turn things around against a Chelsea side that still looks out of sorts. They have not lost to Chelsea at home since 2021, which ended their previous four year streak. Chelsea will be wary of their London rivals who tend to cause them problems on this trip, regardless of form. The good news for them is that they weathered the storm at Bournemouth last week to come away with a win. Considering that West Ham are still trying to find form, it is the perfect opportunity to take all three points. **_Full time Prediction:_ With West Ham still looking out of sorts, Chelsea could nick a win here.** **A smart, great value option to go with is [Chelsea to win either half @1.49](https://m.betking.com/sports/match/1001479053/west-ham-united-chelsea-fc). Those are great odds and they look capable of doing that, at the minimum.**
**Fulham vs Newcastle** Fulham have had a terrible week. After giving up a lead in the last minute to West Ham last weekend, they crashed out of the EFL Cup in midweek to Preston after a lengthy, emotionally draining penalty shootout. Their last two league games have now ended in draws, and they seem to be crawling, stuck. Meanwhile, Newcastle find themselves third on the table, level on points with second-placed Arsenal, after winning three of their opening 4 games. They are still yet to lose a game and have already shown that they can find a goal whenever they need it. Another away trip, this time to Fulham, is pretty daunting, but they look to be up for it. **_Full time Prediction:_ Expect a tight game, but Newcastle should triumph ultimately.** [**Newcastle to win either half @1.70 odds**](https://m.betking.com/sports/match/1001479047/fulham-fc-newcastle-united) **is incredibly tasty and the best option if you are avoiding the straight win risk.** **It is worth noting that Newcastle have not lost to Fulham since 2017, winning six straight games against the London side.**
**Liverpool vs Bournemouth** There was barely any bet slip that did not feel the impact of Liverpool’s shock defeat to Nottingham Forest at Anfield last weekend. Hardly anyone saw that coming, especially as Liverpool had begun the season with three wins and no goals conceded. It was a timely reminder that there really are no sure odds in football. While that was disappointing, the unpredictability is exactly why we love the game. Bournemouth have been quite unlucky since the season began. Iraola’s boys could be higher up the table based on their performances and how their games have gone, but they find themselve 11th with 5 points from 5 games. Their missed penalty last week cost them against Chelsea, as they went on to lose. An away day at Anfield is one no team looks forward to, but they can take motivation from what Nottingham Forest did last week. **_Full time Prediction:_ Liverpool have been dominant in this fixture, losing only twice to Bournemouth in the last decade, with none of them coming at Anfield.** **Regardless of what happened last week**, [**expect a Liverpool win here, priced @1.31 odds.**](https://m.betking.com/sports/match/1001479048/liverpool-fc-afc-bournemouth)
**Tottenham vs Brentford** Tottenham ended their streak of consecutive defeats in midweek after surviving a scare to knock Coventry out of the EFL Cup. They still have to end the streak in the Premier League against Brentford, who are a team the top 6 hate to come up against. Ange Postecoglu will be encouraged by the fight his side showed in midweek, hoping that it turns things around after losing the derby against Arsenal last weekend without putting up much of a fight. Brentford’s defeats this season have come at Anfield and the Etihad, in games they were expected to lose. Despite putting up spirited performances, they came away with 0 points. A trip to Tottenham may be the best chance to take points off a traditional top 6 team for the first time this season, especially considering their dire form. Two seasons ago, they took all three points here, after coming from behind to win 3-1. **_Full time Prediction:_ Tottenham have only won one of their last 5 games against Brentford, so this game should be a tightly contested affair once again.** **There should be goals in this game, even despite the news of Yoane Wissa’s length absence so you can go for** [**Over 2.5 priced @1.44 odds**](https://m.betking.com/sports/match/1001479052/tottenham-hotspur-brentford-fc)
**Crystal Palace vs Manchester United** It has been a perfect week for Manchester United, one full of goals and players finding their confidence and form again. After a 3-0 win over Southampton last weekend, they smashed 7 past a hapless Barnsley side in the EFL Cup in midweek, with many players getting in on the action. They will come into this weekend’s games with all the momentum, at a ground that has continued to be a difficult place to go. Crystal Palace did the double over their opponents last season, scoring 5 and conceding no goal. Michael Olise’s exit is a significant difference for this side from the team that dealt with Manchester United last season. Still, they should pose a significant threat. They are still yet to win a league game this season, and they will be eager to end that run. **_Full time Prediction:_ There have been 3 or more goals scored in each of Manchester United's last 4 games.** **Crystal Palace themselves have seen at least 2 goals scored in all 6 games they have played this season, in all competitions.**
**Manchester City vs Arsenal** This is easily the biggest game in the Premier League these days, between two teams who have battled for the title in the last two seasons. Manchester City have failed to beat their opponents in 3 straight games, failing to even score against them in their two league games last season. Their brilliant start to the season was halted in midweek after a goalless draw against Italian champions, Inter. This game could not have come at a worse time for Arsenal, who are still reeling from Ødegaard’s injury. They have had to move Kai Havertz back into midfield and play a more conservative game in the past two games. The good news is that they have not conceded in both games, although their only goal has come from a corner at Tottenham. A trip to the Etihad is always daunting, and they are expected to be even more conservative than they were at the Etihad last season. **_Full time Prediction:_ This could be another chess match between the two managers. Expect Arsenal to keep it tight at the back to keep their opponents at bay.** **Things could come to life in the second half as Manchester City push for a win. A good option could be a bet on** [**the second half being the half with most corners @1.66.**](https://m.betking.com/sports/match/1001479051/manchester-city-arsenal-fc)
**Real Madrid vs Espanyol** Real Madrid still seem to be living on the edge, and they could easily have lost their two games this past week. Real Sociedad hit the post multiple times while Stuttgart came close to getting a result in the Champions League. The good news for them is that Bellingham is back and Mbappe now has 5 goals in 7 games so far. The last time they faced a newly promoted side at home, they ran out 3-0 winners, although the scoreline flattered them. Espanyol’s season has taken off. Following their hard-fought draw at Wanda Metropolitano against Atletico Madrid, they have now won two games in a row and look very confident. That said, they have lost their last three games to Real Madrid, conceding 10 goals and scoring just two. They will, however, be encouraged by the performances of Real Madrid’s recent opponents who have taken the game to their opponents. **Full time Prediction: Real Madrid have won the last 10 home games against Espanyol. Expect another routine win, weven if Espanyol put up a fight**. Mbappe should also be on the scoresheet once again, [**which is a good value option to go for @1.59**.](https://m.betking.com/sports/match/1001509409/real-madrid-espanyol-barcelona)
