For those who would like some stats and context for each match-up, look no further…
Leicester v Aston Villa
The Foxes have mustered one point from their first two outings upon their return to the top flight and their underlying numbers aren’t all that encouraging either.
Only Everton and Ipswich have generated fewer expected goals (xG) with the Tractor Boys being the only team to have registered fewer shots.
And so we’re inclined to back a comfortable away win under the assumption Ollie Watkins has sharpened his finishing – he squandered two golden chances against Arsenal last weekend.
Our Prediction: 2-0 to Aston Villa
West Ham v Manchester City
The Hammers are without a league win against Pep Guardiola’s side in their last 17 meetings and it’s almost a decade since they took three points off City on home soil.
It’s early days but the defending champions have already made their way to the top of the table, thanks to a 4-1 win over Ipswich last time out.
Ominously, Erling Haaland already has four goals to his name and looks well refreshed after a Euros-less summer.
West Ham’s first-choice XI is bursting with talent but it takes a brave Score Predictor user to bet against City.
Our Prediction: 3-1 to Man City
Chelsea v Crystal Palace
The Blues notched an impressive 6-2 win at Molineux last weekend in what was an exhibition of ruthless counterattacking, with Cole Palmer and hat-trick hero Noni Madueke in particularly fine form.
That being said, Enzo Maresca’s side conceded their fair share of chances too so both teams to score seems a likely outcome at Stamford Bridge this Sunday.
The Eagles boosted morale with a straightforward 4-0 victory over Norwich in the Carabao Cup but they’re one of just five Premier League teams yet to register a point in 2024/25.
Is it too early to say how much they miss Michael Olise?
Our Prediction: 3-2 to Chelsea

Newcastle v Tottenham
This has been a proper bogey fixture for Spurs in recent times.
They lost 4-0 at St James’ Park back in April and 6-1 the visit before just short of a year previous.
Recent history may be against the visitors but Ange Postecoglou’s have looked the better of the two sides this term.
Fabian Schar’s red card meant the Magpies endured a backs-to-the-wall opener against Southampton before their draw at Bournemouth – a relatively strong side didn’t look all that effective against Nottingham Forest in the cup either, although they did progress via a penalty shootout.
It’s a difficult match-up to judge this early in the campaign.
Our Prediction: 2-2 draw
Manchester United v Liverpool
English football’s answer to El Clasico headlines the Matchweek 3 fixtures.
The Merseyside giants have been a level above their rivals in recent times but their record at Old Trafford has remained modest.
Liverpool have won away to the Red Devils just twice in their last 13 visits with both those results coming in 2021 when the gulf between the two clubs was particularly wide.
Perhaps more relevantly, Arne Slot’s troops lead the way for total shots and xG in the top flight after two rounds of fixtures – they’re one of four sides with a 100% record intact at this early stage.
As for Man United, defeat at the death to Brighton last time out dampened the mood but they have looked more solid and organised than they did at the back end of last season.
That being said, Mohamed Salah, Diogo Jota and Luis Diaz have all started the campaign in lively form…
Our Prediction: 2-1 to Liverpool
