"BRIGHTON & HOVE ALBION vs MANCHESTER UNITED (1230) The Seagulls have the evil eye over their opponents today, have beaten them in more than 40 percent of their Premier League meetings. Both sides started this season with a win and will want to build on that this afternoon. But it’s hard to pick a winner, so fence time it is. 1-1 CRYSTAL PALACE vs WEST HAM UNITED (1500) Speaking of the evil eye, Palace have destroyed our best-laid plans far too often for anyone’s liking in recent seasons. But Antonio has a good record against the Eagles and another goal today, if he plays, would be welcome. It will be interesting to see Lop’s team selection, with AWB and other new acquisitions waiting impatiently for a start at least. A tough fixture, but one that we can win. The season starts. 0-2 FULHAM vs LEICESTER CITY (1500) It’s hard to see Leicester emulating anything like their form of last season. This is the kind of game that’s tough for anyone and you’d expect a quiet journey home for the Foxes 2-0 MANCHESTER CITY vs IPSWICH TOWN (1500) Ooh. 5-0 SOUTHAMPTON vs NOTTINGHAM FOREST (1500) The type of game that the Saints have to win if they’re to stay up this season. The same applies to Forest, which makes this an intriguing fixture full of southern promise. Old-fashioned, tough and red-blooded. Good for the neutral. 2-1 TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR vs EVERTON (1500) Spurs started the season with a draw at Leicester, not quite what they wanted or indeed what a top-four chasing side would have aspired to. But along come Everton to cheer things up in N17 or whatever their postcode is. The Toffees also started the campaign disappointingly with a 0-3 home defeat to Brighton. Yuk. 3-0 ASTON VILLA vs ARSENAL (1730) The game of the day if you exclude us at Palace. A real test for both sides and one that the visitors cannot afford to lose if they’re to mount a serious assault on the title. Should be a good watch between two quality sides and bosses. 2-4 *SUNDAY* BOURNEMOUTH vs NEWCASTLE UNITED (1400) Howe do, Eddie? Bournemouth started the campaign with a creditable draw at Forest, while Newcastle crept past Southampton. Another one that’s hard to predict. 0-0 WOLVERHAMPTON WANDERERS vs CHELSEA (1400) Don’t know what to think or say about this. You’d expect Chelsea to win. 0-2 LIVERPOOL vs BRENTFORD (1630) A decent start for the Reds last week, but Brentford will prove tough competition as always. 3-0 *CHAMPIONSHIP* Leeds left Hillsborough last night with all points in the bag – their first win of the season. But Burnley, Sunderland and Watford are the Championship’s early trailblazers, Sunderland host Burnley today while Derby visit Vicarage Road. Slowly, the table is taking shape."

Why only the half-time score for MANCHESTER CITY vs IPSWICH TOWN?

[Sydney_Iron]

"Would agree with most if those Coffers, although scoreline im not so sure?? Exceptions would be i fancy Villa to turn over the Arsenal, well hope so, have an Arsenal mate, well acquaintance who is insufferable when it comes to his deluded opinion of all things Arse. Reckon Wolves can get a point at home to Chelsea and Newcastle the away win at Bournemouth. Main thing though is we get the win, looking forward to seeing how we line up in this one, hopefully some meaningful changes???"

"Thanks. Looking forward to seeing how we fare today, and a nice looking fixture prior. Fancy the Toffees will give Spurs a closer game. I see that Solanke is out for a weeks - he didn't miss a game for the Cherries last term."
