MY MATCH WEEK FIVE PREDICTIONS
CHELSEA VS LIVERPOOL
Chelsea have maintained a 100% record at home this season, and would be looking to build on that against Liverpool. But, Liverpool are a very tricky side away from home and might want to prove that at Stamford Bridge. Expect to see on display, a highly entertaining end to end football. I would settle for a draw in this mouth watering clash.
MY PREDICTION: Chelsea 2-2 Liverpool
HULL CITY VS ARSENAL
Hull City have recorded just one loss this season thanks to a Manutd 1-0 win at the KCOM stadium. The Tigers are a very decent side and have been impressing under caretaker boss Mike Phelan. Against Arsenal, its always going to be a very difficult match for Mike Phelan and his wards. I see Hull City giving Arsenal a tough day but Arsenal's superiority would prove decisive.
MY PREDICTION: Hull City 1-3 Arsenal
LEICESTER CITY VS BURNLEY
Fresh from a very exciting start to their UEFA Champions League campaign; recording a 3-0 win away at Club Brugge. The 'Foxes' would seek to bring that same form into their league encounter at home to Burnley before traveling to face Manutd next week. Burnley are not a side to quickly write off, but I expect Leicester to take all three points from this encounter.
MY PREDICTION: Leicester City 2-0 Burnley
MANCHESTER CITY VS BOURNEMOUTH
The only side to maintain a 100% start to their league campaign - winning all four league games. City have proved to be a difficult side to play in the league and would be looking to prove that at home to Eddie Howe's Bournemouth.
MY PREDICTION: Man City 2-0 Bournemouth
WEST BROM VS WEST HAM
Both sides were on the loosing end last weekend as they both suffered defeat to Bournemouth and Watford respectively. West Ham were the biggest casualty of last weekend after they suffered a 4-2 shocking defeat at home to Watford. Both sides would be seeking to improve on last weekend's result and would be putting all their arsenals together for this one. I expect this one to end in stalement, but West Ham might still run away with a win.
MY PREDICTION: West Brom 1-1 West Ham
EVERTON VS MIDDLESBROUGH
Ronald Koeman has really improved this Everton side since he took over from Roberto Martinez. Still unbeaten in the league with 3 wins and a draw, Everton would be looking to maintain their impressive start to the season at home to Middlesbrough.
MY PREDICTION: Everton 3-1 Middlesbrough
WATFORD VS MANUTD
Watford were fantastic last weekend as they pulled a shocking away win at West ham. But, against a Jose Mourinho side, they would find it difficult to continue from where they stopped last weekend. Expect Watford to put up a tough fight against United at home but I see Manutd improving on their 'Derby day' defeat to City with a win at Watford.
MY PREDICTION: Watford 1-2 Manutd
CRYSTAL PALACE VS STOKE CITY
Seem to have being revived with their deadline day signings - as they went on to win away at Middlesbrough. Alan Pardew's side would be seeking to continue on that form this weekend as they battle Mark Hugh's Stoke City at home.
MY PREDICTION: Crystal Palace 1-0 Stoke City
SOUTHAMPTON VS SWANSEA CITY
Swansea showed great 'fight' against Chelsea last weekend, ensuring the Londoners do not leave Wales with all three points. But they face Southampton away from home this weekend. A very tricky tie this one and would be difficult to call. I expect both sides to settle this one with a draw.
MY PREDICTION: Southampton 0-0 Swansea City
TOTTENHAM VS SUNDERLAND
Spurs were victorious last time out away at Stoke, but failed to reciprocate that in the UEFA Champions league tie at Wembley to Monaco. David Moyes's side on the other hand, suffered a heavy 3-0 defeat to Everton at home in last weekend's round of fixtures. Spurs fans would be seeking nothing but a win in this encounter and I expect Mauricio Pochettino and his wards to obliged to their call.
MY PREDICTION: Spurs 2-0 Sunderland
