Crystal Palace v Arsenal
The Eagles have lost just one of their last nine games in all competitions and would have been particularly delighted with a 3-1 victory over rivals Brighton last time out.
After a tough start to the season, Oliver Glasner’s side have become much harder to beat lately but the Gunners have prospered in this match-up in recent years.
Mikel Arteta’s men have won the last four meetings with Palace, scoring 12 goals and conceding just two in that time.
Arsenal were frustrated by Everton last weekend and they will have to be more inventive from open play at Selhurst Park as Palace generally defend corners well – only Brentford have conceded fewer league set-piece goals this season.
That being said, it’s difficult to ignore the significant gap between these two sides in the league table.
Our Prediction: 1-0 to Arsenal
Everton v Chelsea
The fixtures don’t get any easier for the Toffees following their rearguard at the Emirates.
Cole Palmer and friends are flying at the top of the form table having won every game so far this month.
The Blues have also earned more points on the road than any other top-flight team this term.
Meanwhile, Everton have mustered just nine points from seven league games at Goodison Park.
It’s hard to look past Enzo Maresca’s troops, especially as the last meeting between these sides finished 6-0 to the Londoners – Palmer scored four goals that day.
Our Prediction: 2-0 to Chelsea
Fulham v Southampton
Marco Silva’s side remain unbeaten this month despite a tough run of fixtures.
They drew to Tottenham, Arsenal and Liverpool either side of a 3-1 win over Brighton – the Seagulls’ first defeat at home in 2024/25.
As for Saints, they shipped five goals in one half to Spurs last weekend which proved to be the end of Russell Martin’s tenure at St Mary’s.
Southampton have cobbled together just five points since promotion and only one of those has come away from home.
Strange things can happen in the wake of a manager’s dismissal but this should be comfortable Sunday afternoon for Fulham.
Our Prediction: 3-1 to Fulham
Manchester United v Bournemouth
Like Fulham, the Cherries are a well-organised outfit making waves in the top half this season – they’re up to sixth after Monday night’s draw with West Ham.
Andoni Iraola’s side have knocked off Manchester City, Arsenal and Spurs at home but their away record isn’t bad either – they rank seventh for points won on the road.
As for the Red Devils, it’s difficult to gauge where they’re at while Ruben Amorim beds in but a late turnaround in the Manchester derby has kept spirits high.
Historically speaking, Bournemouth would be massive underdogs at Old Trafford but these two sides have never been closer in terms of their current prospects and the South Coasters did win 3-0 in the corresponding fixture just over a year ago.
At this stage, the most common selection among Score Predictor users is a 2-1 home win but we’re inclined to give the visitors more credit.
Our Prediction: 2-2 draw
Tottenham v Liverpool
Sunday’s 4:30pm kick-off promises much excitement as it pits the league’s second-top scorers against the leaders.
Ange Postecoglou is not one to turtle up against strong opponents while Liverpool are missing key personnel in defence so this could be a high-scoring affair.
Spurs beat the Reds 2-1 at home last season but that game was overshadowed by a VAR howler that disallowed a perfectly fine Luis Diaz goal.
Liverpool got their revenge with a 4-2 win at Anfield back in May and it’s tempting to back a similar scoreline this time around.
Our Prediction: 4-2 to Liverpool
