Arsenal have conceded just three goals in the league season and should fancy their chances of recording another shutout at the Stadium of Light.

Their midweek exploits at Slavia Prague in the Champions League, winning 3-0, may take some bite out of their attack a touch with a lot of Gunners players having one eye on international fixtures next week and feeling the effects of the fixture congestion.

Score Prediction - Sunderland 0-1 Arsenal

Wolves begin their post-Vitor Pereira era on Saturday evening with a tough trip to Stamford Bridge. With the shackles off, they'll fancy their chances of getting on the scoresheet, especially with the Blues travelling as far as Azerbaijan on Wednesday night.

Chelsea were incredibly dominant in their 1-0 win at Tottenham last weekend, and if they can replicate that level of control on proceedings, they should create enough chances to put Wolves to the sword.

Score Prediction - Chelsea 3-1 Wolves

Bournemouth's energy will cause Villa problems, given their significant preparation advantage of a clear week where Unai Emery's hosts dealt with Europa League action on Thursday (beating Maccabi Tel Aviv 2-0 at home).

The Cherries will cause problems, but Villa have come on leaps and bounds since their shaky start to the campaign and should take something despite the hectic schedule.

Score Prediction - Aston Villa 1-1 Bournemouth

Newcastle need to learn the lessons from their surprise 3-1 defeat at West Ham last weekend. Eddie Howe was able to freshen things up in Wednesday's 2-0 win over Athletic Bilbao, but Anthony Gordon coming off injured is a concern.

With the international break around the corner this could be a crucial game for Howe, only a win gives them a chance of heading into the break in the top half of the table.

Class is permanent, and their superior quality and depth over Brentford gives them the ability to edge a tight one in West London.

Score Prediction - Brentford 1-2 Newcastle

Brighton have been in good form in front of goal of late, scoring two or more in their last three in a row in the league. But they meet a Palace side who can really turn it on for big games.

The Eagles managed minutes a little in a 3-1 win over AZ Alkmaar on Thursday and have been more consistent than their rivals this term.

Oliver Glasner did the double over Brighton last season and can continue to work his magic in big games on Sunday.

Score Prediction - Crystal Palace 3-2 Brighton

We've seen a lot of draws between the top sides in the league in recent years, and while Arsenal streak clear at the summit, City and Liverpool may be content to settle for a point if the scores are level late on in this one.

The Reds have a day extra to recover from their Champions League excursion, but had to expend more in their 1-0 win over Real Madrid than the Cityzens did in their 4-1 beating of Dortmund.

It'll be difficult to keep Erling Haaland quiet in a game that could send a message to the Gunners on who is their closest challenger for the title this term.

Score Prediction - Man City 1-1 Liverpool
