Newcastle United v Arsenal

Saturday, November 2 – 12:30pm GMT – St James’ Park

Third-placed Arsenal will be hoping to advance their title hopes away to Newcastle United, who have dropped to 12th after going winless for five games. Although St James’ Park can be a hostile ground, back the Gunners to triumph against the lacklustre Magpies.

Bournemouth v Manchester City

Saturday, November 2 – 3pm GMT – Vitality Stadium

Knocked out of the League Cup by Tottenham Hotspur on Wednesday, Manchester City look set to field a full-strength side against Bournemouth, who are 11th on the ladder. With 11 goals in nine appearances this season, EPL bookmakers are paying +275 for Erling Haaland to strike first for City.

Ipswich Town v Leicester City

Saturday, November 2 – 3pm GMT – Portman Road Stadium

Ipswich Town, third from bottom, will be hoping to collect crucial points against Leicester City, who are three places above them. Given that these sides were evenly matched in the Championship last season, another draw is probable.

Liverpool v Brighton & Hove Albion

Saturday, November 2 – 3pm GMT – Anfield

After beating Brighton on Wednesday in the League Cup, second-placed Liverpool will be eager to secure a second successive win over the Seagulls this weekend. Mohamed Salah has scored six Premier League goals this season, and leading soccer betting sites are paying -111.11 for the Liverpool forward in the anytime goalscorer market.

Nottingham Forest v West Ham United

Saturday, November 2 – 3pm GMT – The City Ground

Boosted by their victory over Manchester United in their last outing, 13th-placed West Ham have a tough assignment against seventh-placed Nottingham Forest. Expect the Hammers — who showed significant frailties against United — against on the road against an in-form Forest.

Southampton v Everton

Saturday, November 2 – 3pm GMT – St Mary’s Stadium

Unbeaten in their last five, 16th-placed Everton will be hoping to pull further away from the drop zone against winless Southampton, who sit bottom of the league. Triumphant on their last trip to St Mary’s, the revitalised Toffees are likely to take their chances.

Wolverhampton Wanderers v Crystal Palace

Saturday, November 2 – 5:30pm GMT – Molineux Stadium

Buoyed by recent victories over Spurs in the league and Aston Villa in the League Cup, Crystal Palace will be in high spirits against winless Wolves. Back Palace — who did the double on Wolves in the last term — to reap maximum points.

Tottenham Hotspur v Aston Villa

Sunday, November 3 – 2pm GMT – Tottenham Hotspur Stadium

Eighth-placed Tottenham advanced into the quarter-finals of the League Cup with a thrilling win over Man City, while fourth-placed Villa were knocked out by Crystal Palace midweek. Nevertheless, expect Unai Emery’s side to bounce back and stretch their five-point lead over Spurs.

Manchester United v Chelsea

Sunday, November 3 – 4:30pm GMT – Old Trafford

Manchester United’s aspirations of bouncing back after the sacking of Erik ten Hag will be put to the test against Chelsea, who sit nine places above them. With four goals from his last two games against United, expect Cole Palmer to add to his season tally of seven goals.

Fulham v Brentford

Monday, November 4 – 8pm GMT – Craven Cottage

Ninth-placed Brentford will be aiming to stretch their one-point lead over Fulham, who are a place behind them. After netting eight league goals in nine appearances, Brentford’s Bryan Mbeumo is paying +240 with Bovada to score against the Cottagers.
