After another dramatic weekend of Premier League action, Matchday 4 brings another packed round of fixtures, including the first Manchester derby of the season.
🔴Liverpool 3-1 Fulham⚪️
Liverpool head into the weekend with plenty of attacking confidence after their midweek Champions League win over Atletico Madrid. Fulham, meanwhile, will need to be at their best to contain Liverpool at Anfield.
The visitors should have enough to cause problems, but Liverpool's attacking quality should ultimately prove decisive. With Fulham having issues bubbling behind the scenes, it's hard not to see a comfortable Liverpool victory.
🦅Crystal Palace 1-1 Ipswich🚜
This could be a closely fought contest between two sides still searching for consistency.
Palace have shown glimpses of quality but haven't yet found their rhythm, while Ipswich will be hoping to build momentum after their return to the Premier League.
Expect a competitive game with the points ultimately shared, these two sides are very evenly matched on paper.
🍒Bournemouth 2-1 Brentford🐝
Bournemouth have been entertaining but frustrating in the opening weeks fumbling leads, while Brentford remain a difficult side to break down and find themselves in 5th place.
With home advantage, and quality there, Bournemouth should have enough attacking threat to edge what could be an open contest. This one could go either way.
🦁Aston Villa 1-1 Nottingham Forest🌳
Villa's slow start has been one of the early talking points of the season, with their attacking output yet to match expectations.
Forest, meanwhile, have shown they can be difficult to beat and should have enough to take something from Villa Park.
This should be a tricky one for both teams, who are both searching for their opening win of the season still.
🔵Chelsea 2-0 Hull City🐯
Hull have made an impressive start to life back in the Premier League and remain unbeaten after three matches without conceding.
However, Chelsea represent a major step up in opposition away from home.
Chelsea should have too much quality at Stamford Bridge and are tipped to finally breach Hull's defence.
⚪️Tottenham 1-1 Everton🔵
Tottenham are still searching for their first league win — and their first league goal of the season while Everton have made a solid start.
This could be another frustrating afternoon for Spurs, with Everton capable of taking advantage. These sides are hard to separate at the moment, if Tottenham fail to score again it could be another frustrating afternoon in North London.
🐈⬛Sunderland 0-2 Arsenal🔴
Arsenal face a tricky trip to the Stadium of Light but should have enough quality to return to London with three points.
The Gunners' defence has looked strong early in the campaign, and Sunderland could struggle to break them down. Arsenal's attack also was very fluid against a strong Chelsea side, and if the Gunners strike first, their defence will be hard to breach.
🩵Coventry 1-2 Brighton🐦
Coventry have shown they belong in the Premier League with an impressive display away at Manchester City, but Brighton's experience at this level could make the difference.
Expect the hosts to make life difficult, but Brighton should eventually find a way through. This is a great chance for Coventry to get a result, but also a great chance for Brighton to show their class.
🔴Manchester United 2-2 Manchester City🩵
The first Manchester derby of the season is the weekend's biggest game.
City have made the stronger start, but derbies have a habit of ignoring form. United should be capable of causing problems at Old Trafford, while City's attacking quality makes it difficult to see them leaving without scoring.
A high-scoring draw feels like the most likely outcome, with both sides clearly better in attack than defence.
⚪️Leeds 2-1 Newcastle⚫️
Leeds will have plenty of energy behind them at Elland Road and could make life extremely difficult for Newcastle.
The visitors have plenty of attacking quality, but Leeds' home advantage could be decisive in what should be another entertaining contest.
