Newcastle Vs Arsenal
Newcastle get Gameweek 4 kicked off when they host Arsenal in the early kick-off on Saturday lunchtime. The Magpies picked up a very creditable point from their visit to Manchester United despite being heavy underdogs prior to kick off. Arsenal were on the backfoot for much of their Monday Night Football clash against Liverpool. Petr Cech proved his worth to The Gunners with a string of fine saves which was enough for a share of the spoils at The Emirates. Newcastle are yet to pick up a win this Season and will find life difficult against title challengers Arsenal. Away win expected at St James’ Park – Back an Arsenal victory here.
Prediction 1-2

Aston Villa Vs Sunderland
Aston Villa have lost two on the bounce following their opening day win over Bournemouth. The Villains host Sunderland hoping to score at home for the first time this Season. Tim Sherwood performed miracles at Villa Park last Season and has plenty to do in order to match last years achievements. Sunderland manager Dick Advocaat might be wishing he had bowed out gracefully after guiding Sunderland to Premier League survival last Season. The Black Cats have endured a miserable start to the Season shipping goals and with just a single point from their first three fixtures. Home win expected at Villa Park – Back an Aston Villa victory here.
Prediction 2-0
——————————————————————————————————————————————————————
Bournemouth Vs Leicester
Bournemouth finally picked up their first points of the Season with a pulsating 4-3 win at West Ham in Gameweek 3. Wilson bagged a hat-trick and The Cherries will be brimming with confidence when they welcome Leicester City to The Vitality Stadium. Leicester have got off to a great start under Claudio Ranieri with two wins and a draw from their opening three fixtures. The Foxes will fancy their chances of picking up something from their trip to the South Coast and it is difficult to bet against them on their current form. All square at Bournemouth – Back a draw here.
Prediction 1-1
——————————————————————————————————————————————————————
Chelsea Vs Crystal Palace
Chelsea finally picked up their first win of the campaign away at West Brom. That result was the perfect way to bounce back following a heavy 3-0 defeat at Manchester City in Gameweek 2. John Terry was shown a straight red card at The Hawthorns and will likely be replaced by Kurt Zouma in defence. Crystal Palace beat Aston Villa in Gameweek 3 and sit 5th in the Premier League standings before heading to Stamford Bridge. Bolasie and Wickham could miss out for Palace which would give Alan Pardew a selection headache for such a tough away match. Home win expected at Stamford Bridge – Back a Chelsea win here.
Prediction 2-1
——————————————————————————————————————————————————————
Liverpool Vs West Ham
Liverpool were unable to break down a resolute Arsenal defence on Monday Night Football and ended up sharing the spoils following an entertaining 0-0 draw. The Reds are unbeaten this Season and will look to get back to winning ways when West Ham make the trip to Merseyside on Saturday. The Hammers were beaten by Premier League newcomers Bournemouth in Gameweek 3. Slaven Bilic will be keen to pick up points prior to the International Break but faces a daunting task at Anfield. Henderson is doubtful while Daniel Sturridge continues his lengthy comeback while West Ham will be without Adrian, Zarate and Valencia. Home win expected at Anfield – Back a Liverpool victory here.
Prediction 2-0
——————————————————————————————————————————————————————
Manchester City Vs Watford
Manchester City are off to a perfect start with three wins from three following their impressive win away at Everton in Gameweek 3. The Sky Blues seem determined to win the title back from Chelsea following their disappointment last Season and are yet to concede a Premier League goal in 270 minutes. Watford have a mountain to climb if they are to take anything from their trip to The Etihad. The Hornets have picked up three consecutive draws but have plenty to do if their unbeaten run is to be extended into Gameweek 4. Sergio Aguero and Co. to terrorise the Watford defence on Saturday – Back a Manchester City win here.
Prediction 3-0
——————————————————————————————————————————————————————
Stoke Vs West Brom
Stoke City have registered back-to-back draws following their Gameweek 1 defeat at the hands of Liverpool. The Potters new signing Shaqiri made an instant impact providing an assist in the 1-1 draw at Norwich last weekend. West Brom prop up the table following the visit of Chelsea on Sunday. The Baggies have picked up a single point in their opening three fixtures but have faced tough opposition in City and Chelsea. Stoke fans will be keen to see their side pick up their first home win of the Season on Saturday. Shawcross remains sidelined for Stoke while Myhill will continue between the sticks for Albion. Home win expected – Back a Stoke victory here.
Prediction 1-0
——————————————————————————————————————————————————————
Tottenham Vs Everton
Tottenham Hotspur have got off to a slow start to the Season with just two points gained from their first three outings. Spurs striker Harry Kane has yet to find the net and pressure is mounting for Spurs to keep pace with the leading pack. Everton know all about starting the Season poorly and have got off to a better start this Season. The Toffees have been beaten only once by Manchester City and picked up an impressive win at Southampton in Gameweek 2. Despite holding home advantage Spurs could be viewed as slight underdogs for this fixture. All square at White Hart Lane – Back a draw here.
Prediction 1-1
——————————————————————————————————————————————————————
Southampton Vs Norwich
Super Sunday kicks off with Southampton hosting Norwich at St Marys hoping to record their first win of the Season. Despite an excellent 2014-2015 campaign, The Saints have struggled to build any momentum in the early weeks of this Season. Norwich are in good form themselves and will be full of confidence that they can cause Southampton a host of problems. Southampton will hope that Mane can shake off a problem and be declared fit for this fixture. First Southampton win of the Season expected – Back a Saints victory here.
Prediction 2-1
——————————————————————————————————————————————————————
Swansea Vs Manchester United
Swansea City host Manchester United hoping to build upon their excellent start to the Season. The Swans are unbeaten in 3 fixtures picking up a draw at Stamford Bridge in the process. Garry Monk continues to do an excellent job in South Wales and deserves tremendous credit. Manchester United have a European game mid-week and will have less time to prepare for this Premier League clash. Gomis and Ayew have been unstoppable so far while United have fired blanks in recent weeks. All square at The Liberty Stadium – Back a draw here.
Prediction 1-1
