Sunderland vs Arsenal (Saturday 10.30pm AEST)
Arsenal missed a great opportunity to move to the top of the table as they did their classic stumble against a side they should have defeated. It was a disappointing 0-0 draw in front of their home crowd and they will be hoping for a different result this weekend when they take on the bottom placed Sunderland. Their side is far too talented to be troubled by a side that hasn’t won a game yet and has only earned a draw on two occasions. We are predicting Arsenal to be dominant and clinical in this match and run away with it as they put on a classy passing displayed.

Manchester United vs Burnley (Sunday 1am AEST)
Manchester United will enter this match after one of their more embarrassing league defeats in recent memory. The players didn’t live up to their standards or price tags – especially Paul Pogba who was outclassed by N’Golo Kante. The 4-0 defeat to Chelsea was manager Jose Mourinho’s first return to Stamford Bridge since he was sacked last season and it would have hurt to see that score line.
However, the side was able to bounceback midweek with a victory over their crosstown rivals Manchester City to take some confidence into this match. Meanwhile Burnley snapped a two-game skid to upset Everton on their home soi. They will be looking and need a similar effort this weekend but it will be hard for them to defeat a Manchester United side that is out for blood after a disappointing performance in their last league start.

Tottenham vs Leicester City (Sunday 1am AEST)
Tottenham are sitting in fifth postion after back-to-back draws. They are just one competition point behind the first placed Manchester City and if it wasn’t for the injury to goal scorer Harry Kane then they could easily find themselves in a better spot. However, he is nearing a return to the field and he could be back as early as this weekend.
Meanwhile LEciester City bounced back from a disappointing three weeks to earn a win that catapulted them into 11th postion on the ladder. The defending champions have had a tough year in the league and have been inconsistent week-to-week. We are backing the home side to be too strong and earn the three points on the back of Kane taking his spot in the line up and the foxes looking for answers at the back.

Crystal Palace vs Liverpool (Sunday 3.30am AEST)
Liverpool has moved into equal top spot on the competition ladder and are boasting one of the best attacking front lines in the league. They have found the back of the net on 20 occasions this year and are continuing to improve and create combinations up front. Daniel Sturridge managed two goals midweek and was iwthin a whisker of banging in a third. It stops a six-game drought for him and it will be a huge positive if he can continue to fire.
They are up against Crystal Palace who are on a three game winless streak including back-to-back losses. The Eagles also seem to go on these stretches and we are backing them to be unable to snap it this weekend. They are also one of the rare sides that struggle on home soil and we are predicting the Reds to find the back of the net on multiple occasions.
TIP: Liverpool @ $1.70 with William Hill
