Welcome to another weekend of exciting premier league fixtures. As usual, I will be revealing my predictions and views on matches to be played. But before that, a quick look at how my last weekend's predictions went.
Got one correct score right; Manutd 2-0 Southampton and also predicted five (5) outcomes right; Chelsea win over Watford, Spurs victory over Palace, Wesh Ham win over Bournemouth, Man City's win at Stoke and Manutd comfortable win over Southampton.
Here are my match week three (3) predictions:
TOTTENHAM V LIVERPOOL
Liverpool suffered a shocking defeat last weekend at the hands of newly promoted Burnley, and would be on the road for the third time this season against Spurs this weekend. Spurs also managed a slim 1-0 victory over Palace last week and would be looking to consolidate on that this weekend. Liverpool's defense still haven't convinced me yet and until Klopp finds solution to that aspect of his team, they would keep conceding goals.
MY PREDICTION: Spurs 1-1 Liverpool
CHELSEA V BURNLEY
Antonio Conte's side came from behind once again to register their second win last weekend at Watford. They would be up against a Burnley side that showed great character to hold on to their lead against Liverpool. I would be going for a Chelsea win though, but Chelsea needs to be careful with the manner in which they concede and always struggle to win.
MY PREDICTION: Chelsea 2-1 Burnley
CRYSTAL PALACE V BOURNEMOUTH
Both sides suffered slim defeats away from home last weekend, with both sides still yet to register any point this season. Its going to look pretty tough for Crystal Palace to win this one, but I would be expecting them to get their first win this season.
MY PREDICTION: Crystal Palace 1-0 Bournemouth
EVERTON V STOKE CITY
Everton have started their season on a bright note; claiming four points out of the possible six. While Stoke city are still trying to find their rhythm this season. I expect Everton to win this one barring any shocking display on their part.
MY PREDICTION: Everton 2-1 Stoke City
LEICESTER CITY V SWANSEA CITY
The champions are yet to win any of their matches this season, earning just one point after their barren draw against Arsenal last weekend. Swansea went from hero to villain; after winning away in their opening fixture at Burnley only to loose at home to newly promoted Hull city last weekend. Definitely a Leicester win is all I see this weekend.
MY PREDICTION: Leicester City 2-0 Swansea City
SOUTHAMPTON V SUNDERLAND
The saints were really harmless against Manutd last week friday, but it was Sunderland that really performed woefully after loosing at home to Middlesbrough. Both teams are actually still getting use to new managers and would require a little more time to gel. But nevertheless, I expect Southampton to edge this one with a convincing win.
MY PREDICTION: Southampton 3-1 Sunderland
WATFORD V ARSENAL
Arsenal are still looking for their first victory this season, and Arsene Wenger's side would want to put smile on the faces of their passionate fans who have been disappointed with their team's poor start to the season. Watford are a very decent side but I don't think they would be able to withstand the forage that Arsenal would come with to this encounter.
MY PREDICTION: Watford 1-3 Arsenal
HULL CITY V MANCHESTER UNITED
Hull city have been really impressive so far; getting six points out of six, even without a permanent manager and a team ravaged with injuries. Many are beginning to consider them as the "new Leicester" this season. Jose Mourinho's side are also turning into real title contenders with their commanding displays this season and quality additions. I expect Manutd to halt Hull city's fairy tale season so far with a convincing win at the KCOM stadium.
MY PREDICTION: Hull City 0-2 Manchester United
WEST BROM V MIDDLESBROUGH
Tony Pulis's side lost at home to Everton last weekend and would be wanting nothing but a win at home this time around. But would have to fight really hard against a very decent Aiktor Karanka's side to achieve that feat.
MY PREDICTION: West Brom 2-1 Middlesbrough
MANCHESTER CITY V WEST HAM
This clash promises to be highly entertaining, as we tend to see two great attacking minded side come up against each other at the Ethihad. But it is Pep Guardiola's side I expect to have the last laugh from this very promising encounter. Though West ham are capable of springing up surprises against strong sides, but I wouldn't expect any at City this weekend.
MY PREDICTION: Man City 3-1 West Ham
