Prediction

in 47 games so far this season there hasn't been a 0-0 draw but I feel this one has a no-score draw written all over it.

West Brom have got one more point than Burnley and that's just one point. Both Burnley and West Brom are desperately in need of kick-starting their season and both teams will feel they can win this game. I feel we will see a lot of hard challenges, yellow cards, and maybe even a couple of reds.

MY PREDICTION: A very lively 0-0

Leeds 20:00 Wolves

TEAM NEWS

Leeds: Deadline day signing Raphinha could make his Leeds debut, while Pablo Hernandez hopes to be involved for the first time since the opening weekend.

Captain Liam Cooper is a doubt because of a groin injury and Diego Llorente is out with a similar problem.

Wolves summer signing Fernando Marcal has recovered from a calf problem and is expected to play.

Fellow wing-back Jonny Otto is the only definite absentee for Nuno Espirito Santo's side.

FAN VIEW

LEEDS UNITED Fan Paul Brace

Monday night sees two rejuvenated clubs go head to head at Elland Road. Leeds will be waiting on a late fitness test on captain Liam Cooper, whilst Diego Llorente returns from international duty with a hamstring strain and will miss out. New signing Raphinha looks to be added to the squad. Wolves 5 Portuguese internationals have come back covid clear, whilst Marcal could return after missing the last 2 games with a calf injury.

Leeds have started the season confidently and after a very good 1-1 draw against Man City, early-season defensive problems seemed to have been ironed out. Wolves will also be looking to continue their tightening up defensively after conceding 7 in 2 before their Fulham 1-0 win

A tight affair but one not lacking attacking football. With defenses tightening up on both sides I can see one goal being the decider..... and a home victory.

Paul Brace Prediction.    Leeds1-0 Wolves

Prediction

Last season my favorite team to watch was Wolves, this season its Leed´s so this for me has the making of a great game.

Leeds looked very impressive against Man City last time out and were unlucky not to come away without a deserved win.

In contrast Wolves season so far have been up and down glimpses of magnificence but strewn with errors. 

MY PREDICTION: A great end to end attacking game 2-2

Everton12:30Liverpool

TEAM NEWS

Everton are monitoring the fitness of Lucas Digne, who suffered a minor knee injury on international duty.

Seamus Coleman, Allan, and Andre Gomes all returned to training this week and are under consideration but Mason Holgate continues to be absent. 

Liverpool remain without goalkeeper Alisson so Adrian will again deputise.
Sadio Mane and Thiago Alcantara are set to return after self-isolating because of positive coronavirus tests, while Joel Matip is back in training.

MATCH FACTS

Head-to-head

• ·         Liverpool are on a club-record run of 22 unbeaten matches in all competitions versus Everton (W11, D11).

  ·         Seven of the past eight league derbies at Goodison Park have ended in draws. Liverpool won the other match.

  ·         The last three derbies hosted by Everton have finished goalless.

  ·         Everton are without a home league goal against their Merseyside neighbors in six hours and 45 minutes.

Everton

·         This is the first Merseyside league derby with Everton starting top of the table since September 1989.

·         Everton are looking to win their opening five league games for the first time since 1938-39. They beat reigning top-flight champions Arsenal in their fifth match that season.

·         A league-high 13 goals have been scored in just two games at Goodison Park this term.

·         Dominic Calvert-Lewin has scored nine goals in six appearances for Everton in all competitions this season.

·         No player in Europe's elite five divisions has scored more.

·         Teams managed by Carlo Ancelotti have kept a clean sheet in five of their six competitive home matches against Liverpool (W4, D1, L1).

Liverpool

·         Liverpool have lost four of their past eight away league games, as many as in their previous 46 away fixtures.

·         The Reds could suffer consecutive league defeats for the first time since September 2015.

·         Liverpool have conceded 23 goals since June's Premier League resumption. Only Crystal Palace (25) and Brighton (24) have let in more over this period.

·         Mohamed Salah has scored 99 goals in 158 games for Liverpool in all competitions and is looking to become the 17th player to reach a century of goals for the club.

·         Klopp is unbeaten in his 11 Merseyside derbies as Liverpool manager in all competitions (W7, D4).

Prediction

I don't think I have ever seen so much anticipation for a Merseyside derby in my 40years of watching. True Everton have got off to an absolute flyer this year whereas the previously unbeatable Liverpool have stumbled at the block in what Klopp has called a useful defeat.

I believe that on occasions like this it's easy to overthink the outcome so I´m going to draw from these clubs' long history and predict the most common outcome for a derby.

My Prediction 1-1

Chelsea15:00Southampton

TEAM NEWS

Chelsea will be sweating over their two summer signings Mendy (thigh) and Chilwell (foot) both picked up whilst away on international duty. 

Christian Pulisic and Hakim Ziyech are both available after injury, but will they get a place on the team? In fact, Lampard seems to have the problem that every manager dreams of, good quality players all fighting for a place on the pitch. 

Southampton by contrast are going to have to do some rearranging, with Stuart Armstrong testing positive for Covid it looks like Theo Walcott could take his place having arrived on deadline day.

Ings is fit and Nathan Redmond looks set to start his first game of the season.

Prediction

I've got a feeling there will be goals involved in this one. 
Although Southampton have been tight at the back in their last couple of games and Chelsea were relieved to keep a clean sheet in there last, after the three they let in against West Brom.
Both sides have the firepower and the keepers to make this one tasty 

My Prediction 3-1

Manchester City17:30Arsenal

TEAM NEWS

Arsenal could hand a debut to deadline day purchase Thomas Partey, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang had a slight injury last week but was pictured in training this week, so could fixture.

 Kieran Tierney, has had to self-isolate after coming into close contact with a COVID-positive teammate on international duty.

Man City will be missing the usual suspects from this season: Gabriel Jesus, Sergio Aguero, and Oleksandr Zinchenko with possible additions of Raheem Sterling and Kevin De Bruyne who will be fitting to be fit all the way to the whistle. 

Prediction

This is another great game this weekend, we really are spoilt. Arsenal have had a good start and will be hard for City to breakdown, but going forward I don´t feel Arsenal have enough options to stretch the City defense.

My Prediction 2-0

Newcastle United20:00Manchester United

TEAM NEWS

Newcastle's Jamal Lewis is fit despite missing Northern Ireland's last game.

Manchester United are without the suspended Anthony Martial, while Harry Maguire is doubtful after suffering a minor injury on England duty or he’s being rested?.

Edinson Cavani is in quarantine after his move to England and is unavailable.

Fellow deadline-day signing Alex Telles is in contention for his debut, while Donny van de Beek could start his first Premier League game since joining from Ajax.

Prediction

Newcastle are playing well and will make life very tough for United. Even thou ManU have been shipping goals left right and center they have been free-flowing at the other end.

As the story has been since the start of the season I believe we are going to see plenty of goals.

My Prediction 2-3

Prediction overview

SATURDAY	Result	Prediction
Everton v Liverpool	2-2	1-1
Chelsea v Southampton	3-3	3-1
Man City v Arsenal	1-0	2-0
Newcastle v Man Utd	1-4	2-3
