Our Premier League experts have been hard at work nailing down predictions ahead of the third round of fixtures and below is their insight into the selected games…
⚔️ Leicester v Aston Villa
🗓️
Kick Off: Saturday 31st August, 15:00
This Midlands derby is a match that Aston Villa should be winning. Leicester have been vastly outplayed in both matches so far and were fortunate to draw against Spurs in their home opener. They didn’t look much better on the road at Fulham last weekend either, losing 1-2.
Steve Cooper’s men are struggling at both ends of the pitch. They have only fired an average of 8.50 shots per game and conceded nearly double (16.50). If these types of stats are maintained then they are in for a desperately tough season.
Villa will be fuming that they lost against Arsenal last week. They had the chances to take the lead but some poor finishing and good goalkeeping denied them. Ollie Watkins doesn’t quite look sharp enough yet but another hour on the field should serve him well.
There is a big gulf in class between the two teams and if Villa finally put away their chances then they are capable of racking up a decent number on the Foxes. Leicester might score a goal, but a 2-1 or 3-1 away win looks likely due to the extra class which The Villains possess.
⚔️ Everton v Bournemouth
🗓️
Kick Off: Saturday 31st August, 15:00
Only two games have been played but there is already a crisis at Everton. They have been smashed 0-3 by Brighton and 0-4 vs Spurs. It has been a shocking start to the season for Sean Dyche’s men and they are desperate to get some sort of result here.
The Toffees have looked toothless in attack, only creating 1.05 xG which is the second-worst of any team. With an average shots-on-target rate at just one then it’s clear where the main problem lies. Their defensive numbers may not be so bad, but conceding seven goals is less than ideal. Goodison Park can be a stronghold for Everton but also a very poisonous environment when they are in poor form.
Bournemouth travel here unbeaten after a pair of 1-1 draws. They were left frustrated last week when a late disallowed goal prevented them from beating Newcastle. The Cherries average a healthy 14.50 shots per game but also conceded nearly the same amount at the other end. It’s been a surprise that neither of their fixtures have gone over 2.5 goals.
New record signing from Porto, Evanilson played 72 mins last week and will be eager to score his first goal for the club. The absence of Jarrad Branthwaite at the back for Everton has really hurt them.
Bournemouth have a poor record at this ground, losing on 6 of their last 7 visits, but Everton’s form is so bad that an away win 1-0 or 2-0 could be the most likely outcome.
⚔️ Nottingham Forest v Wolves
🗓️
Kick Off: Saturday 31st August, 15:00
It’s been a good start to the season for Forest with four points obtained after two games. They went and beat Southampton 1-0 fairly comfortably last week without many alarms. Forest already have the fifth-best xG in the Premier League and only conceded one goal at the other end.
This is another excellent chance to add to their points tally against an out-of-form Wolves team. Nuno Espirito Santo promised a more ‘exciting’ team this season and so far he hasn’t been far wrong. Forest average the joint most shots per game of any team in the Premier League (18.50) and the most shots on target (8). They actually should have scored more goals with the likes of Chris Wood and Morgan Gibbs-White looking very dangerous.
Wolves just got heavily beaten 2-6 at home to Chelsea. They didn’t look too bad on the opening day vs Arsenal but they were a defensive disaster last weekend. The loss of key centre-back Max Kilman to West Ham looks like a huge blow already. Goalkeeper Jose Sa has performed poorly in both games and there are rumors he could leave the club soon.
Matheus Cunha and Jorgen Strand Larsen were positives in the final third of the field and based on what we saw vs Chelsea then the visitors should at least get on the scoresheet. But Forest must be the favourites to win 2-1 or 3-1 if Wolves keep defending as they have been.
⚔️ West Ham v Man City
🗓️
Kick Off: Saturday 31st August, 17:30
Man City were ruthless against Ipswich last week, beating them 4-1 thanks to an Erling Braut Haaland hat-trick. This is their second trip to the capital this season after already beating Chelsea in round one. City look strong, as expected, and are likely to assert their dominance against this West Ham side.
The hosts do average the third most shots in the Premier League though (16) and will be buoyed by their excellent win 2-0 at Palace last week. They have a squad in excellent health, whereas City have doubts surrounding the fitness of midfielders Rodri and Mateo Kovacic.
The last time the two teams met was on the final day of last season when City prevailed 3-1 to win the Premier League title. They have won on both of their last two visits to the London Stadium 2-0 and 3-1 respectively. West Ham should be more confident after their victory last week but this should be a step too far for them. Maybe they can get on the scoresheet but City and Haaland just feel too strong.
The same 3-1 scoreline could be a consideration, or for those who think City will keep a clean sheet then 3-0 or 2-0 are possible alternatives.
⚔️ Newcastle v Tottenham
🗓️
Kick Off: Sunday 1st September, 13:30
Both teams remain unbeaten ahead of this Sunday clash at St James’ Park. Newcastle have not caught the eye statistically, although most of their metrics are distorted by the early red card to Fabian Schar on the opening day of the season against Southampton. He remains suspended for this fixture as a result.
Sven Botman and Jamaal Lascelles remain out until the start of 2025 with their respective injuries. Newcastle have conceded the second most xGA of any team (4.49) and have been indebted to goalkeeper Nick Pope for his excellence.
Spurs have looked good in both fixtures. They only drew with Leicester in their opener before smashing Everton 4-0 last week. Ange Postecoglou’s men are dangerous and full of chances. They will always give you opportunities at the other end though, and questions still remain about them defending set pieces. There are doubts over the fitness of Rodrigo Bentancur and striker Dom Solanke. However, Son Heung-Min performed very well upfront last week so the manager might look to keep things the same.
Based on performances then Spurs look like the better team right now. They have a terrible recent record at this ground though, losing 6-1 and 4-0 on their last two visits to the North East. This match has a strong feel of goals and Newcastle can’t keep relying on Nick Pope to save them. Scoring draws around the 2-2 or even 3-3 range could be worth considering.
⚔️ Man United v Liverpool
🗓️
Kick Off: Sunday 1st September, 16:00
The biggest fixture of the weekend comes at Old Trafford where we have a genuine Super Sunday clash. It’s a battle between two Dutch managers Erik Ten Hag and Arne Slot and it should make for fascinating viewing. Man United won their home opener vs Fulham 1-0 but came back down to earth last week when they lost at Brighton (1-2).
They now face a Liverpool team who have registered the highest xG of any side in the Premier League (6.65) and who should arguably have scored more goals so far. They face a United side who have several defenders still injured in addition to striker Rasmus Hojlund. Mason Mount is an injury concern as well.
Liverpool haven’t won on any of their last four visits to Old Trafford and Man United famously beat them 4-3 in the FA Cup last season en route to winning the trophy. A great deal of respect might be played out between the two managers and this feels like the sort of match nobody will want to lose.
One noticeable difference with Arne Slot’s Liverpool is an eagerness to control games more with less risk. The Reds would probably be satisfied with a draw and deep down Man United would probably take it as well.
If it becomes a slugfest of a derby and quite feisty then 0-0 could be a possible scoreline. The 1-1 draw is also a major runner if both teams cancel each other out.
