Man City vs Liverpool
Big game to start week 4 in the premier league. Interesting head to head as Man City are strong at home but weak against Liverpool who have had the better of them in 3 of the last 5. Raheem Sterling is out through suspension and Gundogan probably through injury. For Liverpool, they still miss Lallana and a match fitness last second decision for Ings. Both teams have scored in the last 5 with Man City at home. Both teams are coming off good wins but may feel the brunt of the international break. Oxlade-Chamberlain is expected to play in this one.
Both teams to score and over 2.5 goals @ 1.72

Arsenal vs Bournemouth
We expect a statement game from Arsenal in this one. International break will not help for player fatigue but it’s still the beginning of the season and after an embarrassing start to the season, Arsene has a lot to prove in this game. Cazorla is out indefinitely with an achilles injury. Chambers and Iwobi also in doubt. Only two previous encounters at the Emirates for these two and Arsenal won both convincingly. Arsenal are the stronger team but we have seen stranger things happen.

Brighton vs West Brom
Not the most appealing of fixtures but hard fought points to be won here nevertheless. Lots of injuries for Brighton and none of the teams will really be undermined by International break. Lots of corners perhaps in this one and little goals

Everton vs Tottenham
Everton are absolutely swamped by injuries and Tottenham have Danny Rose suffering from a knee injury. They’ve managed to sign Llorente from Swansea and Aurier from PSG. Two good signings for Pochettino as he looks to put some energy back into the team after a disappointing start to the campaign. Koeman will be hoping Rooney is not distracted by the media attention these last two weeks.

Leicester City vs Chelsea
After a shaky day 1 in this year’s campaign, Chelsea brought the mojo back with 2 good wins and Antonio Conte will be looking to get 3 points out of this tricky fixture at the King Power on Saturday. Leicester will be missing Ibarro and most likely will be without Huth. For Chelsea, Cahill will sit his 3rd and final game after a red card suspension. Expect an attacking game with Leicester, the home side, making the first move.

Southampton vs Watford
Interesting fixture here at the St. Mary’s on Saturday. Southampton have had a decent start to their campaign with Gabbiadini getting on the scoresheet twice already. Watford are a good side and are unbeaten in the last 3 in the Premier League. Watford’s injury list is nothing short of impressive and this writer is really looking forward to seeing them back at full strength.
Gabbiadini to score anytime @ 2.40

Stoke vs Man Utd
The Bet365 stadium hosts the most in-form team in the Premier League, Man Utd. Mourinho’s men would have had an extremely busy week with 80% of the squad out on international duty. There hasn’t been much time to prepare this game. This away game for Man Utd has not been a happy one at all. They haven’t managed a win here since a cup game in 2013 but are they too strong a side for Stoke to contain? Stoke have 1 W 1 D and 1 L this season. With the win coming at home to Arsenal in a 1-0 where they held their own. Fletcher will probably miss this one through a knee injury and Afellay is definitely out. Will Stoke manage to give Man Utd their first goal ? we think so

Over 10 total match corners
Burnley vs Crystal Palace
Crystal Palace have been absolutely abysmal. Zero goals score in this campaign. In all fairness, their injury list is long and it includes their best striker. This game doesn’t look good either for them. Having said that, it doesn’t look good for Burnley either. D-L-W is their current form so it doesn’t inspire this writer.
Bore draw @ 3.25

Swansea vs Newcastle
Swansea have lost their best striker in Llorente (Tottenham) and Newcastle have found some form of rhythm winning their cup game and their last league game. This could be an interesting encounter. Swansea have good results against Newcastle at home winning 3 of the last 4 vs Newcastle at the liberty stadium. Shelvey will sit his last game through suspension.
Both teams to score @ 1.90
Correct score prediction Swansea 2 Newcastle 2
West Ham vs Huddersfield
Not a glam Monday night fixture but interesting one nonetheless. West Ham really have to win this one if they want to aspire to a mid-table place this season. Arnautovic and Carroll will be out for this one and this means a low scoring affair for West Ham unless they can pull a swift one.
